It will be remembered that the World’s Conven- tion was held in Southern California two years ago; and many who attended that great meeting are anxious to at- tend the Toronto assembly. Workers in Christian education from all parts of North America will be in attendance, and a program of unusual interest has been developed. It will be a combina- tion of highly inspirational features, and problem-centered seminar and study groups. The Southern California Council of Religious Education is plan- ning to take delegates from this terri- tory on a_ personally conducted tour through the Canadian Rockies on the way to Toronto.

Buckle, Mrs. Rand and the hostess. Just before leaving for their respective homes, they were asked to join hands and sing “Blest Be The Tie That Binds and Rey.

A fine audience Elmer McKay: A meeting of the kind never opened more auspiciously. Vis- itors were present from nearby towns. Mr. McKay spoke from a portion of “The Battle is the greeted Evangelist He called attention to the un- certainty of the issue in many of life’s battles and to the fact: that on earth’s |battle fields the victory is expected to go to sharp swords and big guns and armies. Contrasted to this, he said, is the possibility when God takes a hand. In the text and context is a record of the turning of victory from Goliath and the Philistines where size and strength would lead us to expect victory to David and Israel upon whose side God was en- listed. The preacher told how faith prayer are necessary in working with God. who has faith will naturally pray.

The cen- sus canvasser will carry a portfolio that contains 25 different forms all of them relating to some phase of the census question—unless he is collecting data on manufacturers, in which case he car- ries no less than 168 forms. The census bureau has been collect- ing data on agriculture and population for 100 years. Work will start on April 2 and finish about May 1. The collec- tion of data on manufacturers and dis- tribution is a new feature and one that will require about six months of field work to complete. Although about 80 per cent of the production of the nation must be dis- tributed no attention has been paid to distribution in the census work until the business interests, the wholesale, retail and manufacturing interest of the na- tion, demanded it. They have asked the government to provide the American business man with a business yard stick, a compari- son of the cost of production in various states, the various lines of goods handled, a report on the average con- dition of the average merchant, sales, employes, wages, salaries, cash, credit, chain versus independent stores—a quantity of data that should enable the American business man to cut out waste and enable them to plan sales cam- paigns.” The census bureau, will issue prelim- linary reports on the work as it pro- gresses. It is hoped the people will eee promptly to the census requests for in- formation. The work will be finished sooner or later, and when it is finished the’ census bureau will have all the necessary If the people show the proper spirit the information will be quickly obtained and as quick- |j ly transmitted back to the general pub- lic. information.

MRS, A. C. JOHNSON Continued from last week For almost four decades in the block — between Comstock and Milton Aves. on Bailey St., there stood a large white two-story frame building, known as the — Bailey Street school. A tablet above. the front entrance, below the bell tow- er bore the inscription: “Erected ee 1889". Before its compYetion the press- ing need of the hour caused the trustees : to open a room or two and Clayton 3 Nordyke became school master to a number of pupils. He having taught previously in the Evergreen School. The : next year eight rooms were available— the lower-floor being used for the Grammar grades and the upper for stu- dents in an academy. The Grammar school was in charge of Miss Jessie De Wolf and Miss Lura Jones. se The academy was directed by C. Bevan Johnson and Miss Ida- Lindley, under a special board appointed by Friends, Addison Naylor, Willet Dor- land, Lydia Jackson, J. H. Cammack | and Dr. C. R. Dixon. This combina- tion of upper and lower grades, as well as the dual authority of Boards, did not prove satisfactory and ‘the plan was dis- continued after a year’s trial. Besides the rooms were needed for the Gram- mar school pupils who came in such ~ numbers that a few years later an addi- well lighted rooms. Before-this could — be done, rooms were packed with pu- | pils in sardine fashion. Miss Minnie Mendenhall, who taught several years: beginning with 1894, stated that she had as many as 60 or 70 in her 3rd and 4th spades and Miss Grown had om 7 dren who could climb the hills were e per- mitted to leave their books and They had the time of their young lives, “snowing” each other as they said. — It was during these early days that Lou Henry now Mrs. Herbert Hoover, was a pupil, a born leader, as her class mates say.

This an- nouncement was made today by Frank G. Snook, Chief of the Division of Mo- tor Vehicles in answer to numerous inquiries concerning the brake testing requirements set forth in the new law. A brake certificate is necessary only, Snook explained, when an automobile has been tested and its brakes found deficient. After a motorist has been of- ficially warned that the brakes of his car do not conform to the standards of the new law, he must produce satisfac- tory evidence thereafter that his brakes have been properly adjusted. Chief Snook further stated that an er- roneous impression has gained ground throughout the State that motorists who may be cited for defective brakes must have them adjusted only at the offici- which al brake testing stations are shortly to be established. The official testing stations are he- ‘ing appointed for the convenience of the public but any motorist may have any mechanic make the adjustments or make them himself provided that after the adjustment is made, the brakes will test up to the efficiency standards of the Under the auspices of the Missouri State Society of Los Angeles County the mammoth picnic reunion of the Missourians of all the Southland will be held in Sycamore Grove Park, all day, Sunday, April 6th, with basket din- ners at noon and program all day long.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT Continuing our remarks relative to the oil and gas conservatism ‘which appeared in our issue of March 13: It is very evident that we haven’t gone far afield on this subject. It is evident to the most un- educated layman’s mind that as long as crude oil can be unloaded from boats at San Pedro or anywhere on the coast at the present price that there will be no more activity in the oil fields of California. It is very evident why no tariff was placed against imports and robably will not be written into the tariff so long as it is possible get cheap fuel from other countries. It is all very well for the companies to milk the industry to their advantage so long as the i eneral public will stand for it and pay the present high level for their gas and oil commodities. The attitude of the oil concerns is apparently: “The Public Be Damned” and the public ap- parently likes it. It might be well for the thinking voter to bear this in mind that e next general election insofar as the governor’s office and our United States Senators and representatives are conernd. _ Big Business in California today has reached a domineering con- ion which means very little development other than just what a ew politicians and corporation directors choose to allow. It is a disasterous effect that happens to general business such as the present time is the result of a selfish creed which if not term- inated shortly will still bring about a worse condition. “COVERED WAGON” YEAR CELEBRATION President Hoover has issued a proclamation calling on the people the United States to observe the period from April 10 to December 9 of this year as the “Covered Wagon Centennial”. For the parents d teachers of Whittier, this would present an excellent opportunity o explain to the younger generation that it has the great westward ide, transported by the old covered wagons, which established civi- lization across the continent. The significance and importance of it should never be lost sight of by the American people; it should be repetuated from generation to generation. - Those who know the hardship undergone by pioneer parents, ho blazed the trail to the northwest 100 years ago owe it to the ounger generation to see that they,too, learn the story. They know md appreciate at what enormous cost that vast domain was made afe for the benefit of humanity, however in modern days, and with so y other events to think of, the younger generation way develop endency to minimize it.

His life was full of makes excellent reading. But the passage that interested me It adventure: most was this: Riding to the Matoppos one day at the usual four miles an hour, Rhodes had not said a word for two hours, when he suddenly remarked: “Well, le Sueur, there is one thing I hope for you and that is that while still a young man you may never have everything you want, “Take myself, for instance: I am not an old man, and yet there is nothing I I have been Prime Minister of the Cape, there is De Beers (the dia- mond mines that Rhodes controlled) and the railways and there is a big country called after me, and I. have more money than I can spend. “You might ask; ‘Wouldn’t you like to be Prime Minister again?” Well 1 answer you very fairly—I should take it if it- were offered to me, but I certainly don’t crave for it.” . At twenty-five he was so rich that he did not want for any of-the things that many can buy; at thirty-five he did not want anything at all; at forty-nine he died. = I hope I may never be guilty of writ- ing anything intended to make poor people contented with their lot. T would rather be known as one who sought to inspire his readers with a di- yine discontent. To make men and women discontent- ed with bad health, and to show thém how, ‘by hard work, they can haye better health. - To make them discontented with their intelligence, and to stimulate them’ to continued study. To urge them on to better jobs, bet- ter homes, more money in the bank. But it does no harm, in our striving after these worthwhile things, to pause once in a while and count our bles- sings. Prominent among my blessing I count the joys of anticipation—the delights of erecting Castles in Spain. If you would discover the really happy men of history, look for those who have striven forward from one achi- evement to another, drawn by the pow- er of their own anticipations. g They have made every day yield a double pleasure—the joy of the present and the different but-no less satisfying joys provided by a wise imagination. I believe in day-dreams. I am strong for Castles in Spain. I have a whole group of them myself, and am con- stantly building improvements and mak- ing alterations. I do not let my work upon them in- terfere with my regular job. Rather, it reinforces the job. My castles are in- centive to efficiency; they give added reason and purpose to the business of being alive. INDIAN VILLAGE UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT It is true that Whittier has had vari- ous business houses open in the past year, as well as the newer development in McNees’ Park, along Whittier Blvd. One of the latest to open in this. dis- trict is the Indian Village, formerly known as the Pow-Wow Inn. The man- agement of the Indian Village are en- deavoring to give its patrons the best food obtainable, and at the same time ‘keep the prices within the reach of all. The Indian Village is now a_ place where ladies and gentlemen can go to dine and dance under the best condi- tions possible, they are privileged to re- main as long as they please and are not taxed any cover charge for dancing. The place is now arranged so the dif- ferent ladies clubs can hold their luncheons and card parties with special These parties will be private in every respect. There are also nights when clubs can use the In- dian Village for private dances with very moderate rates. The people of Whittier are invited: to come to the In- rates for lunches. dian Village and see what accomplish- ments the new management have in- cluded in the way of comforts for its guests. The Indian Village is located at 1732 West Whittier Blvd., and is open from 11:00 a. m. until 1:30 a. m.. Dance music is furnished by the Indian Vil- lage Bluejackets. Gasoline sells for 65 cents per gallon in Bolivia, according to the Chicago |. Motor Club. The average operating cost of an auto- mobile has been reduced to 6.43 cents per mile, compared to 10 cents per mile in 1924, according to the Chicago Mo- tor Club. ADVICE TO CAMPERS SACRAMENTO — With California’s annual outdoor motoring and camping season approaching, the Division of Mo- tor Vehicles today called attention to provisions of the law governing the load- ing of camp equipment. For the sake of safety, it was said, the law requires that no trunk, carrier of the hub caps on the left side of the car nor more than six inches beyond the hub cap line on the right side of the car. zi A new section of the law prohibits the carrying of spare tires in front of the radiator. — Luggage or camp equipment must not be so loaded that it covers either the front or rear plates. No load may be carried exceeding a height of 13 1-2 feet above th surface of the road. Campers who contemplate the ad- dition of trailer or semi-trailers to ,their outfits were urged to remember that the new law prohibits the operation of a trailer that whips or swerves from side to side in a dangerous manner and fails to “follow substantially in the path of the towing vehicle.” License plates are required for all trailers. Those who go to the were advised to remember that audible warning with the horn must be given mountains when approaching curves - where view is obtained for 200 feet and that coasting is illegal. All persons contemplating long mo- toring trips were urged to have their brakes adjusted. BATT ERIES is Our Business Our Business is BATTERIES Cor.

Greenleaf Ave. Let Us Figure Your Next Estimate O a Home Ownership Makes Good Workers The more home owners there are among a company’s employees, the bet- ter it will be for the company, says F. Edson White, President of Armour and Company, in a statement released today by the National Association of Real Estate Boards in a series of articles on the practical aspects of home owner- ship. And the Association also quotes P. S Du Pont, Chairman of the Board of the E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., who states that the fact that a man is able to purchase a home is an indication of O past ability and trustworthiness. The Armour Company, one of the largest packing companies in the world, | has 50,000 employees and the Du Pont Company, largest manufacturers of chemicals and explosives in the world, has 36,000 employees. No good workers will be turned down by a big employer because he does not own his home but the casual mention of the fact that he is making payments on a mortgage will favorably impress the man who is doing the hiring, because the home owner is good for the com- pany, says the Association. : HOME OWNER WORKS HARDER “Naturally the employee who owns a home in the vicinity of a factory or of- fice where he works is more inclined to remain in his position and to work hard- er to retain it than a man who either rents a home or has quarters in a board- inghouse”, says Mr. Du Pont. “On this account, corporations are na- turally favorable to the class of em- ployee who will purchase a home, for LGAS. the fact that he is able to do this is an indication of past sbality: and trust- worthiness.” But the big manufacturer warns em- ployers against encouraging workers to undertake home ownership just to be- come a home owner, and points out that the employee involved in too heavy pay- ments may not be an asset to a com- pany. “Employers should be careful not to state the home owning proposition in a way that will lead employees to invest in a home simply because it is desirable to become a home owner,” says: Mr. Du “Making such a purchase requir- ing payments beyond a man’s means or finances or making purchase on value beyond what is reasonable may involve jan employee in a way that will make him less desirable. SIZE OF PAYMENTS IMPORTANT “The purchase of real estate must, therefore, be recommended guardedly, with certainty that the offerings are not only reasonable as to values but not too burdensome as to time of payment. I am not one who believes in indiscrim- inate real estate ventures.” “Steady, reliable employees who have pride in their jobs and a sense of re- sponsibility are worth much to any busi- ness enterprise,” declares Mr. White, the Armour Co., head. “Qwnership of a home is a great fac- ® Office 412-151 Phones Res 421-181 Whittier Cabinet Shop CARY L.

The case involves a property pur- chaser‘s certificate of title issued upon a deed alleged to have been forged by a broker representing the appellants. The question is upon whether or not this certificate can be relied upon tog give title to the appellees. CO. EXPANSION PROGRAM Many projects of building programs have been carried out in our city since the first of the year, and no expense has ‘been spared in the architectural work. The Southern ‘Counties Gas Company has just completed the remodeling of display room on E.

Rich who is very active in Civie Affairs is general manager of the Whittier Office. and is a man of foresight and vision. It is reported within the near future, many other building programs will be kitchen. and spacious, thus’ making storage building on. W. under construction. COVINA EDITOR TAKES RAP AT COUNTY BOARD (Van Nuys Tribune) George F. Rinehart, editor of the Co- vina Citizens, is another editor who is not afraid to speak out in meeting and tell exactly what he thinks of the ex- travagant board of supervisors now rul- ing the county. Mr. Rinehard calls your attention to the fact that you never see anything in the Los Angeles papers about this extravagance, and he won- ders what the explanation can be. tor in developing reliability and respon- sibility in a man. The home owner feels that he is definitely a part of the com- munity; he takes an active interest in it and can be counted on to boost it when opportunity presents itself. The more owners: there are among a company’s employees, the better it will be for the company. SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED “Tt is regretable that home owning carries with it, in some places, rather heavy penalties in the form of taxes. “T am hopeful that the time will come when there will be a premium on home ownership rather than a penalty. Cer- tainly the home owner, on the average, has more incentive for good citizenship and good workmanship.” TYPEWRITERS Sold, Rented, Repaired Exchanged MEANS TYPEWRITER COMPANY Phone 428-263 212 E.
