INTIMATE GLIMPSES

By BEA LA FORCE This has been one of the livliest

bug seasons in many years, espe· cially over the West and South· west. Right here in our own ter· ritory flies amount to almost plague proportions. Some say this is always true of a good wet year. What benefits human kind seems to benefit all other species of ani· mal life as welL

t( * * Alpine honey bees have never

been busier. Many new swarms have developed and moved over the area. One man has captured 14 new swarms which arrived in his orchcard. The big carpenter bees have bored holes all around the town working in patios · and especially fond of redwood. These amazing construction workers never strike. Maybe this is one reason the insect hordes may some day conquer the earth, as some scientists believe. Each specie co­operates perfectly in its respective society, seldom one part of their economy exploiting another.

PROGRESS STEP BY STEP During the past several months, the tentative date

for actually obtaining water S€rvice in Alpine has been set a number of times, but there has been the usual delays in the completion of such a project. The lack of material, labor stoppage, adverse weather conditions, the failure of some of the valves, leakages in reservoirs; conditions which always do happen, have all been overcome and water is now flowing in the mains and available to a large portion of our community.

The availability of water will now stimulate the de­velopment of Alpine. Local residents can now expand and beautify their property, and there will be many per­sons who will S€ek homes in Alpine, which should arouse the interest of all of the property owners and residents to take an active interest in the planning of the community for zoning purpoS€s.

The _Planning Department of the County have insti­tuted the proceedings for zoning, and the benefits of the results of their work will be directly in proportion to the interest exhibited by the property owners whose property is being zoned.

At the preS€nt time there is no definite plan for th.e zoning. A tentative plan will first be developed and after it is ready for public review, each property owner's duty wilL be to assist in reviewing and refining the plan to the point where the community will benefit to the greatest extent possible.

THE ALPINE ECHO

Alpine Gardener By JEAN Mc<:ULLOUGH

It is time now for some of us busy gardeners to just lean on our hoes and enjoy the fruits and flowers of our labors under the sun. Since our gardens do not need so much attention now, we can take time to laze a bit and admire them perhaps with a criti· cal eye, saying to ourselves, "Next spring I'll plant a new shrub here or maybe a different group of flow· ers over there." You may have seen something especially desirable in a friend's garden and wish to duplicate it. A good time to plan for spring is now in the blooming season, the relaxing season, when there's no pressure to get the planting done.

It's garden tour time, too. What a source of satisfaction it is, to escort friends around your flower beds and hear exclamations of ad· miration from them when they

Obituary For William A. Tondro

Funeral services were held Mon­day, July 23 at St. Paul's E~iscopal Church in San Diego for Blll Ton­dro. Death occurred Wednesday, July 18 at Mercy Hospital at t~e age of 74. Entombment was m Greenwood Mausoleum. Bill was well known in San Diego where he lived until 1~}17 when he moved to El Centro.

In 1919 he founded the Valley Auto Supply Company and later established branches in Cillexico, Brawley,Holtville and Yuma. He was mayor of El Centro in 1946 and always active in community affairs both in Imperial Valley and Pine Valley. In 1941 the Tondros pur­chased the Shangri-La estate at Pine Boulevard and Spruce Road in Pine Valley for a summer home.

In 1956 they sold their El Cen­tro home and this became their permanent residence. Bill was _in­strumental in forming the Pme Valley Mutual Water Company and was its first president after the Judsons relinquished it ' as a pri-

Efforts at positive identif ication -of the speciman have not been successful, but it is assumed that it belong to a group of terrestial Archiannelids which live in humus and damp leaves, the phosphores· cense caused by luminous bacteria or fungi. According to one au­thoritative text, "Phosphorescence of the sea or of flesh, wood, etc., is due to living organisms of vari­ous kinds and should more proper­ly be called bioluminescence. Such light is the result of slow oxida· tion of material manufactured by the organism."
