For The Defense

For The Defense
(The following letter was sent
to RR by friend who has lived
in Ell Centro since away back when.
1t is in reply to the letter written
by newcomer in the valley-a
newcomer who was frank to say that
she did not think much Of Ell Centre
and was kind enough to make some
constructive criticism and suggested
methods of improvement. Here is
the letter for the defense of Ell
Centro and you will readily see that
< in spite of all Ell Centro's faults, we
love her stillD
IF the lady visitor and others
like her who love to go about meas
suring the filth in our cutters would
apply to the city's only plumbing
shop, I am sure that the plumber,
being short handed like all busi-
nessmen here, would be glad of
their help. If the measurements
were only figurative and she wants
a cleaner cleanup job, why not
apply at the laundry? A friend of
mine who has taken over her hus
bands business duties for the dura-
ton is also having to do the family
washing in addition to her other
housework and the care of her child
because the laundry simply cannot
handle the work.
What I really want to say is
this. The real people of El Centre,
those who, like myself have spent
many years here, are meeting the
present emergency of increased de-
mands and shortages of help just as
bravely and cheerfully as they have
met emergencies In the past. Re-
member how the town was rebuilt
after the quake of 1852 Remember
the flood when the canal broke?
Remember the summer we saved

British Clamp
Control on
Bay Of Biscay

LONDON, Feb. Is. (UP)-The
British navy clamped tight pre-
invasion control on shipping in the
Bay of Biscay Tuesday, declaring
10000 square miles of waters to
be dangerous and asserting that
any vessel entering them without
permission does so at its own risk.
The measure announced by the
admiralty was designed to prevent
potentially adverse observation and
to increase antisubmarine measures
in the vast expanse of sea lying
in the elbow of the French and
Spanish coastline-the primary At
lantic approach to western Europe.
The proclamation almost doubled
the waters lying off Britain desig-
mated as dangerous to shipping, and
served as a warning to dilatory
neutrals interested in Atlantic ship
ping.
A considerable part of the 10000
square miles bounded roughly by
Spain, France. and British waters
undoubtedly will be mined.
