Council Orders
Enforcement
Of Traffic Rules

FL Centre police department was
instructed by city council Wednes-
day night to start the enforcement
of two ordinances relating to traffic.
One forbide the parking of vehi-
Gle in the business district between
the hours of and a. m. The other
forbids driving vehicles over curbS
and sidewalks.
Robert Hatton told the council
that parked cars during the morn
ing hours before dawn interfere with
street sweeping in the business dis
trict, and result in the creation of
islands of dirt on those parts cf the
street where cars are parked as the
street sweeper passes.
Police Chief Rcnnie R. Voyles told
the council that the police have
not enforced the ordinance be-
cause there are good many people
in Ell Centro who eat their break
fastS between 2 and a. m. on their
way to work, and leave their cars
parked in front of various a,l-night
restaurants.
Beyond this. Voyles said, the Ell
Centro police have been discouraged
from issuing tickets for parking
violations because too many of
them are dismissed"
On the side of driving ever curbs
and sidewalks, Moore said that
among the chief offenders are the
armed forces. He declared that
curbs and sidewalks in Ell Centro
are being destroyed at an alarming
rate from these vehicles.

BY Congressman John Phillips

The 18th congress just faded away.
The work grew less and less, the
bills went to conference, the men,
bers drifted away, the speaker went
home, and finally, when all the
loose ends were tied together, the
temporary speaker called up the
adjournment resolution and at $3.50
on the evening of the 10Th, Tues
day, it was all over.
The rivers and harbors bill, and
the bill to increase the pay of postal
employees, were still on the senate
floor, so I went ever and stayed
to the senate's end, at 1922 p. m,
The filibuster over the state de-
partment appointments, stimulated
by the CIO-PAC and led by Senator
Pepper, killed all chances of bring
ing up these bills.
The 18th is gone; the 18th will
convene at IL noon on wednesday
the 3rd, one day before this appears
in the papers. We will all be swern
in, and look over the new members
and begin to line up our bills and
our committee and our work for
1945.
Some figures may interest you: In
Sacramento we used to introduce
about 1000 bills and pass perhaps
1000, of which the governor would
sign, say, 900. don't know what the
figures were in 1943. In the 18th
congress we introduced $685. bills in
the house and 2217 in the senate;
total 1882 OF these 989 are now
laws, about one in nine. The 77th
introduced more bills, total of
almost 10000, of which 1485 passed,
about one in eight. About half OF
the bills are private bills in
volving the claims of individuals
against the government.
The average nun. Der Oh plllS III

The 61st congress went over 35,000,

was in the 59th congress Q905-06
with 6940; and the lowest was the
56th Q899-00D with 508.

Marine Solves
Bed Shortage
But So Briefly

1t was only for one night but
twas a bed and an unidentified
marine got that far in solving the
problem of a room when there isn't
any such. Some day he may re-
ceive a medal for his exploit, but
right now he probably is earning
his keep with the old spud peeler
going full blast.
There was the chap several years
ago who swiped locomotive and
made whocpee with it and there are
records of taking street cars out for
a joy ride. These instances were
before the advent of the modern
passenger-carrying bus and with
this disclosure, the story of the
Ell Centre marine begins.
Employees of the Greyhound bus
depot at Calexico started the whole
thing when they sent out frantic
calls for police and other officers
to keep their eyes out for one of
the large overland buses without
passengers which apparently faded
into thin air
In due time police located the car
rier parked in a vacant lot on
the west side of Ell Centro.
Because of the iron-clad censor
ship the marines always have well
in hand" the story ends now.
Fast asleep and comfy the tired
marine was found and routed, but
not without protest. He was given
another free ride by the police-to
the marine base. Now he has dis
appeared without a trace-or a
chance to tell how he chanced onto
the idea of providing himself a
hitch-hike ride and a bed at the
same time. Like many other eXcit-
ing tales, this one must wait until
the war is over.

B. & 0. To Sponsor
All Club Contest

College Park, Md-A Maryland
All Club canning contest will be
sponsored this summer by the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad in coopera-
ton with the All Club and horticul-
tural departments of the University
of Maryland Extension Service, to-
gether with Gamers in the territories
involved. This announcement was
made by Mylo S. Downey, state
boys club agent at the University
of Maryland
The project will be handled as
part of statewide All Club Can
ming Crops program. It's purpos. is
to promote interest in securing good
yields of high quality canning crops
among All Club members and to
increase canning crops production
in the territory served by the Patti
more and Ohio Railroad,-Alle-
ghany, Anne Arundel, Baltimore,
Carroll, Cecil, Frederick, Garrett,
Hartford, Howard, Montgomery,
Prince Georges, and Washington
counties.
Any All Club member from the
qualified counties may enter the
contest if he grows at least one
acre of either peas, tomatoes, or
sweet corn for canning, Downey
said. He may enter all three of
these crops if he wishes, provided
he grows an acre of each. The yield
of his best crop will be used in de-
termining contest winners. Club
acres will be considered as the total
canning crop acreage of the en-
rolled crop on the farm, and only
one club member will be eligible
for awards from that acreage.
A completed All Club record
book, including sales receipts, must
be submitted to the State All Club
office by every member completing
the project on or before October /.
Winners will be selected on the
basis of average yields per acre
from the area entered in the pro-
lect. The three eligible crops will
be weighted on the basis of ap-
proved production ratios that they
may compete on an equal basis.
Production information will be Sc
