Approximately seventy-five representatives of the cities met last night in the local branch Superior Court, at which time the many problems of Junior college operation were discussed.

The board agreed early this week to become a bidder for the work but it was intimated by speakers this morning that private contractors will block the efforts of the district to obtain a bond. Director Rose, one of the force account advocates, went so far as to suggest that bankers who would be called upon to finance the district's work if awarded the contract might tip off the district's figures to other contractors. Director Kalin was not present at the meeting, but sent a message to the board in which he quoted Phil Swing, former Pepresentative, who led the fight at Washington for the construction of the canal, as saying that the Imperial District might not get the canal if it pressed the force account issue to the point of antagonizing Department of Interior officials.

Forfei of the various departments of the A WILD DUCK DROPPED conveniently Into the yard of a Pomona rancher and served as a dinner soon afterward. It's a wonder there wasn't a catch in this thing somewhere.

After the way a lot of innocent Pomonans have been bilked lately, the natural thing would have been for the rancher to have discovered that the duck was Just a wooden decoy after all. Horace Williamson, the practically permanent president of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce, Is "it" again. Horace tried to hide out at election time this year but his admiring colleagues hunted him out and dragged him from under the bed or wherever he was and elected him again. Horace, as well as his friends, has forgotten how many times he's been chosen now. He says it's too many, anyway.

I'll bet if the chamber doesn't do something drastic like giving him the job for life that next year at election time he moves over to Fontana or 'somewhere and poses as a deaf mute who hates chambers of commerce. He'll have to do something like that to escape the honor. Well. I guess never get my Ll.D. now! I have just committed the unpardonable scholastic sin.

Palm Springs leaders have, joined whole-heartedly with Redwine and Sheriff Rayburn of Riverside county to fight the introduction of tango parlors. The prosecutor and the Sheriff are determined that gamblers shall not mulct the Metropolitan Water District men working on the aqueduct. The families of the workers are dependent upon their wages.

It would be unthinkable to permit the men to fritter away the money at gaming devices. Palm Springs is equally determined to keep out tango so that it may maintain its high reputation as a fashionable resort. Many leaders of the community are arrayed against the owners of tango places elsewhere who now propose to enter the resort. Of course, the people who go to Palm Springs probably can afford to lose a. little money.

But that should not be the deciding factor. If the resort decides to keep out gambling it will be setting a good example entirely aside from the financial aspect. Whittler Community players scored a hit the last two nights with their offering of "Our Children." It is a good thing that the respectable little community has something to take its mind off the fact that it Is legally if not actually wet under the new regime. The repeal of prohibition by wiping out local option has brought liquor into the community for the first time in its existence. But I'll bet that no good business man goes into the liquor business there.

He would be up against the same kind of proposition that would face an Englishman trying to sell statuettes of King George on DeValera's doorstep in Ireland.
