Mysterious Woters
Do Great Damage
By RALPH DIGHTON
EL CENTRO, Calif. April 21 (AP)
— Damage estimated at millions
ol dollars has been caused by
mysteriously rising water in the
land-locked Salton Sea and nobody
knows wthen it’s going to stop.
Homes, resorts, military instal
lations, thousands of acres of
farmland — even such California
oddities as dry ice caves and steam
pots almost side by side — have
been inundated by the slowly ris¬
ing salt water.
Thirty-six miles long and up to
16 miles wide, the Salton Sea is
breathtaking when viewed for the
first time. Rimmed by rugged
mountains, reflecting the bright
blue of the desert sky, the sea
seems out of place in its vast
cactus-littered valley.
Beavers Menace
Virgina Roads
KING AND QUEEN, Va. (AP) —
Bushy beavers are giving the State
Highway Department trouble again.
The beavers have dammed up
culverts along stretches of the
450 miles of state-maintained road¬
way in the county, flooding roads
when heavy rains come.
County highway superintendent
Walter F. Broach says about 10
years ago the state let loose a
number of animals and then pro¬
tected them with laws. And there
are few persons interested in
trapping despite recent open sea
S °Meantime, road crews cleared struggle of
to keep flhe culverts

Moy Doy —
The first day of May is by
tradition a time to celebrate young
love and the flowering season.
The practice of going into the
woods on May Day to bring out
hawthorn branches for decoration,
then to spend the day in revelry,
has often been told. Robert Herrick
(1591-1674) in his poem, Corinna’s
Going A-Maying, makes a plaintive
appeal for the pleasures of the
day:
Come, let us go while we are in
our prime;
And take the harmless folly of
the time.
We shall grow old apace, and die
Before we know our liberty.
Our life is Short, and our days run
As fast away as does the sun;
And, as a vapor or a drop of rain,
Once lost, can ne’er be found
again,
So when you or I are made
A fable, song, or fleeting shade,
All love, all liking, all dedght
Lie3 drowned with U3 in end¬
less night.
Then while time serves, and we
are but decaying,
Come, my Corinna, come let’s go
a-Maying.
Spring Clean-Up
Time Is Here
This is Spring Clean-Up Week.
Each year a't this time we are ask¬
ed to roll up our sleeves and join
our neighbors in sprucing up the
community.
Spring Clean-Up serves a dual
purpose; our community takes on
a fresh, more attractive appearance
in keeping with the season, and
fire hazards are greatly reduced.
Homeowners can participate by
cleaning their houses from top to
bottom, discarding old magazines,
newspapers, broken furniture and
other combustibles that have ac¬
cumulated in basements and attics.
It may take a little extra courage
to throw away that broken legged
ping-pong table you never got
around to fixing, or the children’s
old rocking horse, but little things
like that can add up to big fires.
Losses at All-Time High
The National Board of Fire
Underwriters advises that last year
fire losses reached a new all-time
high of $1,405,588,000, an 11 per
cent jump over 1962. It was the
seventh consecutive year that prop¬
erty losses have amounted to more
than $1 billion.
Nearly 12,000 persons died in
fires during 1963 and thousands
more were injured. The grimness
of these totals becomes more chil¬
ling when we discover that the
overwhelming majority of these
fatalities and injuries did not occur
in one or two or three large multi
million dollar fires. Most occurred
in the thousands of home fires
which start around the clock across
the nation. Hardly a day goes by
that we don’t read in the news of
at least one tragic fire. Statistics
like these make more and more
apparent the very urgent need for
preventive action.
Take Time to Go Through House
So flake time an hour or two this
week and go through the house
with a critical eye. Start With
the attic and work down to the
basement. Get rid of all the old
combustible items you don’t need,
such as old clothing, old mattres¬
ses and pillows, empty paint Cans,
oily rangs and stacks of old news¬
papers and magazines. Don’t forget
the garage and the yard. They, too,
can become collecting places for an
assortment of things that you really
don’t need.
A thorough once a-year clean-up
plus year round attention to fire
safety suggestions can make our
community a better place to live.
