THIRD YEAR, NO. 35 FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1961
WELCOME. KAPPA MEN
Welcome delegates to the fourteenth west
ern provincial convention of the Kappa Alpha
Psi fraternity! The Arizona Tribune is proud
to join members of your host , the Phoenix
Alumni chapter , as you participate in activit
ies scheduled from March 31 through April 2 .
Phoenix, the capital of one of the fastest growing states in the
country, is located in the center oftheSalt River Valley. It and sur
rounding towns are often dubbed, “The Valley of the Sun”. You can
readily understand this nickname, when you see and feel the won
derful sunshine which through the miracle of irrigation has made
this one of the best agricultural regions in the West. Our sunshine
score was 84 per cent last year. Its elevation is 1080 feet.
Beautiful mountains surround our fair city which was titled “The
Cleanest City in America” by John Gunther. Look Magazine pres
ented it with an All-America City award last year, to add to its plau
dits. Visitors from near and far come here and our Sky Harbor
Airport is one of the busiest in the natin.
This modern oasis is easily accessible by car, bus or train. Ma
jor transportation lines connect it with points east, west, north or
south. Many visitors have returned or have never gone home be
cause they found desert life magnetic.
Latest census figures list the city’s population at 429,000. Phoe
nix serves as Maricopa County seat. Greater Phoenix encompasses
an additional 11,000 persons.
We are proud of Phoenix because persons of many races, national
origins and creeds have cooperated to solve some of their problems.
Through the efforts of local restaurant, hotel and motel owners,
patrons are accepted without discrimination.
In this city you will see the evidences of the progressive spirit of
several Negro businessmen. You must ride out on the southside and
see the outstanding housing development, Park South at 18th and E. r
Roeser Rd., which contains some of the most modern homes in the
Southwest. These homes were built by the Williams and Jones Con
struction Company.
The Midtown Medical Center, located at 12th and E, Washington,
developed by Dr. Lowell C, Wormley provides the latest facilities
for three physicians, a dentist, a pharmacy, and a restaurant.
These exanples don’t present the whole picture, but you can see
that Phoenix is moving fast. We are glad you came. Stop in for
a longer visit, next time.
