"I don't know any factor among the things worth while." he said, "which Is contributing any more or serving a better purpose. Many of us cer tainly are in error as to the alms of education in the case of a growing boy if football Isn't a very direct con tribution to this education. Tribune CLASSIFIED ADS! unhersUv, 7-0 In one of the blpcpst Barabas and nromlnskl en celt "One of the primary functions of a college is to help men to enter upon their vocations with strong, rugged characters, with enthusiasm and with a spirit that nothing can break down. "I believe that calling up and ex pending freely, in an emergency, last reserves of strength and courage, of voluntarily subordinating one's inter ests to the interests of the group, of coordinating one's activity with the activity of others engaged in the same task, or disciplining oneself physic ally for three months a year at least, of pouring out alt of one's energy within limits dictated by decency and sportsmanship I believe that all of these habits constitute an important contribution to the education both of those who play football and of those who see It played and who admire the players." (Continued from page one) the homeless, protect any Inhabi tants of flooded districts from the threat of disease, re-open highways, construct emergency bridges and re store rail traffic. The total rainfall In Los Angeles was measured at 6.27 Inches for the storm, which began late last Satur day continuing through new year's day. The greater portion of the rain fell between midnight and dawn Sun. day and it was a cloudburst which started the flood, 18 Inches of rain falling on some of the mountain dis tricts surrounding Glend ale -Montrose. The precipitation broke any mark of record in southern California. Look for Victims. Led by sheriff's deputies and state highway patrolmen, groups of CWA workers patroled the banks of rivers looking for victims. Others dug shovels into the enormous piles of debris, where undoubtedly other bodies will be found and still others searched through wrecked houses, many of the structures moved hun dreds of feet off foundations, for the dead. For the most part this work cen tered in the Glendale -Montrose area. In the Venice district there were no reports of missing persons. The main body of CWA and ccc workers, aided by 500 county flood district employes and 750 county road department laborers, were equipped with shovels and 150 trucks and put to work clearing highways in he Glendale-Montrose sector. Many of these roads were buried beneath 12 feet of rock and mud. Automobiles Burled. There were 32 bridges to be re built and at least 75 automobiles were estimated somewhere underneath the debris left by the flood. Probably 1500 other automobiles were damaged throughout the Los Angeles area. To expedite the work, all highways into Glendale-Montrose were barred to all but those having official bust- j ness. Curiosity seekers had begun to hamped relief work when the decision was made to close the area. All relief activities were centered under the command of Major Jules E. Hantque, director of the CWA here. Besides the work of searching for vic tims and clearing away debris, health authorities organized details which visited all homes in the Venice and Glendale-Montrose districts as a pre caution against the spread of disease. 800 Yonj, Chinese girl who was born on the Island or Maul, has ar rived In Hollywood to appear In a motion picture about China.

With gas, water, light and sewage mains wrecked in some localities, the problem of sanitation was viewed as one which might become difficult. Boiling of all drinking water was Im pressed upon residents of the dis tricts. Paradoxical as it was, the Qlendale- Montrose district suffered from a water shortage today. Drinkable water waa carted Into the area in bottles and the county forestry department supplied four 600-gallon tank trucks. Residents obtained their water thusly, some of them leading burros laden with water bags, Boy Scouts aided in the distribution of the water. ReNef Funds Needed. D. c- McWatters, chief of the American Red Cross here, Issued an appeal for funds, saying that 1500 homeless families In the Venice area were looking to the relief agencies for aid while they sought an opportunity to re-establish themselves. The Sal vation Army was distributing food and clothing supplies and the ex tensive county welfare organisation also was called Into the breech. Health authorities reiterated earlier statements that the past 24 hours had given no Indication of the likelihood of epidemics and said that with proper precautions no spread of dis ease should occur. .VI'M pi ip tentlon of homo rule, by Instructing t,he city attorney to file a brief contesting the constitutionality of the Knox law In the circuit court, was read by Mayor Wilson. More discussion followed, ' during which the advisability of starting the matter through the circuit court at this late date was questioned and direct action through tfte supreme court suggested. For a short period of the meeting indications of imme diate action by the city of Medford were strong. Then the Leagus of Oregon cities conference here was brought into the dicu&sion and It was decided to delay action pending the Thusrday session. Doubt on the part of all city at torneys as to the constitutionality of the Knox bill was revealed, during the report of previous conferences. Revenue Needed The need for action to bring mora revenue from liquor sales into city coffers was emphasized with the ne cessity for a definite stand to pre vent other powers being taken out of the city's Jurisdiction in the fu ture. It was also brought out that ft long period will elapse before a liq uor house can be established in this city and that some action must be taken to control traffic during that period. The problem, several per sons pointed out, will always be one In which the city will bear much responsibility and from which the city should therefore realize suffi cient revenue for control. It was maintained. Ordinance Needed Chief of Police Clatous McCredis, called upon for his opinion regard ing thelmmediate- need for an ordi nance governing liquor sales, stated that q -let would "undoubtedly reign during the next two weeks," but that cities should agree on some or dinance as soon as possible to set up local control machinery. He also expressed doubt that a liquor house would be opened here in any reas onable length of time. Councilman C. C Darby, reporting for the recently appointed llqu ordinance committee, stated that it was revealed at the committee meet lng that conditions were no worsa now than they .had been and that action could await the meeting of the League of Oregon Cities. The state liquor commission, he stated, is expected to disseminate informa tion in the Immediate future. II
