EVERY MEMBER SHOULD VOTE
AT THE { OF { ELECTION

Next Friday members of the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce will vote for direc-
tors Of 16 nominees, eight are to be
selected for term of two years. The
seectees will represent approximately
one-half the dictatorship. inasmuch as
each year one half the body ends its
term of office.
Today Ell Centre is faced with the
major task of planning for a postwar
program of extensive magnitude. Repre-
senting the city'S business and industrial
interests, the Chambers job always has
been to stimulate those activities which
will directly extend and expand the city's
business importance.
During the war period by necessity
and circumstance, the chambers activ-
tiles have been limited, but now that the
whole nation is at work on postwar plan
ming, the chamber is faced with need
for courageous, Woodworking action.
What it does during the next year, may
determine in a major degree, what will
accrue to the city's benefit or detriment
for many years to come.
For these reasons, the membership
should not be satisfied to sit idly by and
let the other, old standby members, do
the aggressive thinking as we'll as the
actual voting. Every member, big and
little, should examine the ballot list and
express preference by next Friday.
There are more than two hundred men,
bers of the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce. The records show that in the
past when membership was greater, only
about sixty or seventy ballots have been
cast That is not good. 1t reflects lack
of interest on the part of a majority of
the membership. 1t indicates that very,
very large number of businessmen and
business firms are willing to take free
ride on the city's development and let
a minority get out and do the aggressive
job of watching Ell Centro's business in
terests and business future.
1t would be a fine stimulus to the city,
to the new directors and to the entire
membership and board, for a 100 per
cent expression to be recorded
Let's every member vote next Friday.

THE PROMISED LAND
WHAT IS IT COMING TO?
CLOS Angeles Times)

CLOS Angeles TimeS)
Pressure for old age pension plans in
Washington and in several of the states.
including our own, gives added Signlfi-
canoe to recent studies by social organi-
cations into the question of various age
groups in national and regional popula-
tions. One such survey, by the Council
of Social Agencies, brings the implica-
tions of its statistical findings in connec-
ton with the pension movements as they
affect California clearly into focus, since
it shows that the percentage of persons
in this state over 65-the age at which
those incapable of looking after them
selves become eligible for the existing
federal-state old age assistance handouts
is increasing at an astonishing rate.
The increase is marked enough every
where, thanks to better general under
standing of health rules-35 per cent
from 1880 to 1910 for the United States
as a whole. But in California, which had
the largest proportion of elderly folk to
start with the 10-year jump is estimated
at so per cent. 1t seems to have been
pretty we'll established by agencies per-
haps a little less biased than the cham
bars of commerce that people have
longer life expectation, as the insurance
men say, in the Golden state than else
where. That word has certainly got
around.
And because California is more gen.
erous in aid to the needy aged than any
other commonwealth, an ever increasing
proportion of the oldsters attracted here
in the hope of extending their life spans
have unquestionably been intrigued no
little by the additional prospect of liber
al public financial assistance toward
that end.
What it might come to eventually is
something perhaps best not dwelt upon
too much in this critical period of his
tory, although the old age pension pro
moters and those urging higher benefits
and easier qualifications under the old
age assistance program haven't let the
mere question of public financing of
war deter them. Suffice to say, there
ala estimates by statisticians worthy of
respect that one-seventh of the popula-
ton of the United States will be 65 or
over by 1880 and nearly one-tenth 70 or
past The comparative figures for Cal
ifornia are startling to contemplate even
in the imagination, but the mind rather
balks at the questionable extent and cost
of the 1890 aged aid setup if the old folk
without funds continue to look upon
this fair state as their Promised Land.

Ell CENTRIC MUST AND
WILL HOUSE The USO

After approximately two weeks OF
valiant effort to provide the new USO
program with proper housing facilities,
no place has as yet been obtained and it
is reported that the USO might drop
further thought of trying to establish
itself in Ell CentrO.
Such a withdrawal from this city SIM
ply must not occur. 1t would be de-
feat which would seriously reflect upon
the community and at the same time
materially detract from El Centro's facil-
tiles as military center.
That the program is not already
booming along in typical Ell Centre style
seems to be nobodys fault in particular.
Locations which are available are termed
unsatisfactory by the USO, and loca-
tions which the USO wants simply have
not yet been found, though the field ap-
parently has been thoroughly searched
by some of the most able and interested
civic leaders.
We are confident that someway, some
how there will be agreement upon a
practical solution, and trust that this
will be accomplished at the earliest pos
sible moment. The USO is vitality need

ders served by this city. We simply can
