"Cinco De Mayo" Fete Celebrated By Star League Planning to celebrate the "Cinco de Mayo" or "Fifth of May," Mexico's national independence day, with an American festival, the six grammar schools of the Star League will hold a celebration Saturday at the Mountain View school. Starting at 2:30 p. m. the fete will include a program of singing, dancing and special school displays in a booth section by all six schools taking part.

Schools participating will be: Vassett, Mills, Rowland, West Covina, Mountain View and Lark Ellen Delegates Picked ByJJIons Club Two delegates from the Covina Lions club were selected to attend the annual convention to be held ip July i St. Louis, Missouri. President W. E. McNatt, and president- elect Stanley Shaver will represent Covina at the convention.

The program at the loial club meeting Monday afternoon consisted of discussion of a topic sent out by Lions International, "Liberty, herent or Granted Right?" The discussion took up the American ideals of liberty, and compared the gover. mental restrictions of this country with 14 other nations of the globe, showing high American standards of liberty in relation to those practiced in tother nations. MCBRIDE BOYS CAPTURE JR. PENTATHLON EVENTS (Continued from Page 1) of all marks shortly after the meet. As predicted, the junior contestants got off to a bunched start at the opening event, and the final outcome of the pee-wee title race was in doubt until final events had beeprun off.

Merle McBride, 95-lb. midgit, failed to live, up to previous marks and was hard pressed by ambitious opponents. The Baldwin Park boy, however, got off a 38- foot heave in the ball put, next to last event, to score 1089 points and boost his total to a point where it withstood assaults. The younger McBride's complete marks for the five events of the meat follow: bread jump, 15 feet; high jump, 4 feet, 5 inches; ball put, 38 feet, 3 inches; basketball event, 30 baskets in two minutes; 50-yaiid dash, 6.7 seconds. Otis McBride, a last minute surprise entry in the senior championships, defeated the favorites, Take- and Enslow, in a convincing manner.

The older brother of Merle is a pentathlon veteran of two years of competition and it was first thought he would not compete this year. Otis' best marks made were as follows: broad jump, 16 feet 4 high jump, 4 feet, 9 ball put, 47 feet, 4 basketball event, 23 baskets in two minutes; 75-yard dash, 8.7 seconds. Walter Hege, "dark horse" high school entrant in the senior division was still a mystery man today as officials found it impossible to ccai- pute his score because his high co-efficient failed to work out in computing points. Just what will be done in Hege's case has not yet been decided. Every member of the Baldwin Park team scored ovar 3000 points, a record achievment in itself.

With the Park outfit and the high school breaking the anti-trust act in their strangle hold on the first ten positions, other schools found plenty of trouble breaking in to place. Lark Ellen, West Covina and Covina grammar school only managed to place one boy apiece in the select group of champions. Your can be increased thru advertising. Try a small ad in The Citizen.

CITY COUNCIL FRAMES ANTI-BEER ORDINANCE (Continued from Page 1) Los Angeles county. Business men leading in the effort to obtain legislation legalizing beer here were confident that such a petition -would be circulated, but declined to predict the outcome of an election. Chief Features of Law The two chief sections of the short new ordinance read as follows: Section shall be and is hereby declared to be unlawful for any person or persons, either as principal, agent, clerk, employee, or servant for any person, firm, corporation, club or association of persons within the corporate limits of the City of Covina, State of California, to sell, barter, or otherwise dispose of for a valuable consideration any beer, ale, porter, wine or similar fermented malt or vinous liquor and, or, fruit juice containing more than one per cent of alcohol by weight. Section shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, club, or association of persons, either as principal, agent, clerk, employee or servant for any other person, firm, corporation, club, or association of persons, to have, possess, or transport, any liquor intended for or which can be used for beverage purposes which contains more than 3.2 per cent of alcohol by weight, on, along, or across, any of the public highways of Covina, Section 3 states the regular misdemeanor penalty for violation, section four repeals all previous ordinances, and section five provides for publication. Lasts Till Midnisrht In a discussion of the various phases of the situation, which lasted until midnight, the council members were strong in their statements that they desired the ordinance to be put before the people for a to take no sides in the matter they recognized the past dry record of the city, and admitting that the present ordinance is voided completely by the Wright Act repeal, the decision was reached to start the adoption process for the new ordinance.

The first definite action on the local situation was taken Friday evening of last week when about 25 business people of the city met in the banquet room of Longworth's cafe in answer to a general call issued to all business men. No "Saloon Business" Emphasizing the fact that he had "no desire to enter the saloon business" but was merely of the opinion that lack of beer was proving a serious detriment to his business, A. H. Longworth called the meeting to order, and introduced Grant Chapman, city attorney, asking for Chapman's legal opinion on the local situation. After some questioning in an effort to discover what information the meeting desired, Chapman admitted that there was little liklihood of the city gaining a conviction on a beer selling charge in the courts under the present ordinance, due to the defeat of similar laws in Southern California.

Speakers Feel Same The majority of the other speakers during the meeting felt much as Mr. Longworth did, a few of them stressing the futility of attempting to sell beer in a city which had always been dry, Appear Before Council As an aftermath of the meeting, A. H. Longworth and Mr. Morrison both restaurant owners, appeared before the city council Monday evening, Longworth was called out before the beer question came up, failing to return.

Left alone to represent the business people Morrison declared himself in favor of an election on the question. He also made it clear that his preference for beer was solely in the nature of business, COHENS-KELLYS ON GLENDORA PROGRAM It will be the Cohen and Kelly families again tonight, who will provide entertainment for theatre- goers at the Glendora Beacon theatre.
