ARIZONA IN WASHINGTON By 808 MERKLEY There is now in the Senate Com mittee on Public Lands and Surveys a bill introduced by Senator Carl Hayden which provides that “ there is hereby granted to the State of Arizona four million acres of the nonmineral, unappropriated, and unreserved public lands of the Unit ed States within such State for the use and benefit of a hospital for crippled children to be constructed and maintained within said State from the proceeds to be derived from the leasing and sale of such lands: ” Although this bill is almost cer tain of meeting with difficulties be fore it becomes a law, there can be few Arizonans against it. Three fourths of Arizona’s area is federal land. It will be no easy matter, however, to talk Congress and the President out of four million acres. Congressman Murdock is taking a census of his own on the matter, and whether the bill ever becomes a law. he will have a fairly depend able report on the number of crip pled children in the state. The census is similar to the unemploy ment canvas now under way, ex cept that the crippled children sur vey only goes to the extent of con tacting schools and churches. The result of this survey. Mr. TOnHork hopes, will be sufficient data to give him and his a basis upon which to work.

Wages and Hours Bill Bv CHARLES W. HOLMAN Fate of the Wages and Hours bill in Congress depends largely or farmers, declares Charles W. Hoi man. Secretary of the National Co operative Milk Producers’ Federa i tion, in a critical analysis of thr measure for the 2.000,000 Mid-West farm families who read Rural Pro gress Magazine, edited by Dr. Glenn Frank. Mr. Holman writes from a long experience in Washington watch ing the Congressional mill and ap praising the effect of its output up on agriculture. In the December is sue of the magazine, out today, he says the effect on farmers of the wages and hours legislation as it was passed by the Senate, but held up in the House last summer, would be: 1. To increase the cost of most things farmers have to buy, includ ing implements, clothing, furniture, radios, fertlizers and feeds. 2. To draw labor away from rural communities and increase far mers’ wage costs when there is al ready a labor shortage on farms. 3. To increase cost of process ors and distributers, who take the increase more often out of the far mer rather than pass it on to the city consumer. 4. To compel plants owned and operated by nearly 10,000 farmer owned cooperatives, which market the products of 1,500,000 farmers, to meet costs of production and to reduce correspondingly the return to their members. The original purpose of the New Dealers, says Mr. Holman, was to eliminate sweat-shop conditions in some industries. “But, to ‘Get at’ the sweat-shop operator, this bill has been written n such a fashion as to place a yoke on All American Industry.” Wage and hour control presup poses complete economic national ism, but Mr. Holman holds this to be inconsistent with the aims of Secretary Hull’s commercial treat ies. “One or the other of these policies,” he declares, “must be abandoned, for we cannot lift to artificial levels our domestic costs when we are lowering our import duties on the competitive goods and not requiring the producers of these imported articles to conform to the same standards which are prescribed for American producers in the Wages and Hours bill.” From his observation of other Federal boards, Mr. Holman sus pects the Wages and Hours Board of Standards, once created, would soon be asking for more and more grants of power, until “we will have an agency more powerful than it was ever intended the NRA should be.” Disagreement within the ranks of labor over the advisability of such legislation, the attitudes toward if of John L. Lewis and William Green, and their lieutenants’ fears of the effects upon union dues col lection are described from a farm j^ TI - r^ , n* Industry's fears that the r- mont * might find j h them for their op ” t in Mr. Holman’s rq.i ■ uii to.- ome employers a> j - to hide belli, d fence and shoo* over logs” at the Wages and Hours Bill. “die (Only Horte-COltmcfr ‘Ncfaspapcr in (Canltbqr/’ COOLIDGE, PINAL COUNTY, ARIZONA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1937 Chevrolet Winter Driving Tips The proper technique of safe winter driving rests primarily upon the avoidance of quick, sudden ; moves of any kind, according to a bulletin issued by Chevrolet this I week in the interest of traffic safe ty under hazardous road and weath j er conditions. I Modern motor cars are engineer ed for year-round operation, the bulletin states, and the driver who takes full advantages of their engi neering refinements can reduce driving hazards to a minimum. The principal of such hazards lies in poor tire traction on icy pavements where safe driving depends on the ! avoidance of any abrupt applica tion of either the power or the brake. Some of the points stressed in the bulletin are: “A good driver uses second speed ext*« sively in stopping, in approaching intersections, and in turning corners. With the syncro mesh transmission, it is simple and easy to shift to a lower speed and maintain control of the car at all times. Another important point is to leave the car in gear when slow ing down so that the egine may act as a brake. “Cultivate the habit of giving oth er drivers ample notice of your in- J tention to step, turn, or slow down,” 1 the bulletin continues. “Even though you may have your own car under perfect control, the driver behind you may not be so fortunate. Never permit the wheels of your car to spin if it can be avoided. Spinning wheels may cause danger ous skids, and if they come into contact with a spot of dry pave ment and thus gain sudden trac ing down so that the engine may i act as a brake. “Good visibility, always of the utmost importance, is assured in j winter driving by the use of de frosting units which are available in several forms at moderate cost. Chains add traction in snow, but they should not be relied upon to take the of sensible driving as a guard against skidding. "Besides making for greater high way safety, these suggestions will prolong the life of any car if they are followed the year round. Pro per care of the car in cold weather adds immeasurably to driving plea sure. The engine should never be raced, because lubricants flow more slowly when the engine is cold and the stress on engine parts is in creased.” PRESERVING PERISHABLES It is estimated that six million tons of ice are used every year on American railroads to preserve perishable foods being transported to market. More than 2,300 ice sta tions are used to serve the rail roads. o THE LOW DOWN FROM HICKORY GROVE About every place I go, people are wondering about what is goin on with business and prices, and they are sorta up a tree and con fused. And the folks down there on the Potomac, they are kinda up to their neck explain’ why everything is not grand and rosy like they said it would be. And right along we been told that another law or two would fix eveiy • thing up sweet and pretty, and the i rivers would run up hill or side i ways or whichever way the lav , says for ’em to run. But right recent, everybody seems i to be sorta gettin’s woke up at i about the same time, and we are like Rip Van Winkle —the powder i was wet and his pants was ragged ; —and we been dreamin’, but not - gettin’ any place. i And now, if we will take a coupla stretches, and a hitch in our belt I and get over our ideas that some - rodv is gon: a feed us, and look i after us ever r minute, and we ?o i o work, maybe our nap did us some good, after all. ; Yours with the low down, JO SERRA.

Nl’es, Judge of the Superior Court of Maricopa county, addressed a meeting of Coolidge citizens at the Womans club Mon day evening. Judge Niles was in troduced by Mr. F. Preston Suit, and held the close attention of his audience with a very interesting and informative a Ulress on juvenile court problems and methods. H 3 stressed the fact that in a juvenile Court, the child that comes before the Court is not on trial—but the community is, and that the Corn seeks to find and eliminate the social conditions that cause a child to become delinquent. He made the shocking statement tha statistics show more than 90 pe I cent of juvenile delinquencies ori j ginat e in the Lome itself, # am warned against the community per mitting evil influences to flourish with the statemeni that: “Any force that strikes at the home strikes at the community ar 1 the nation.” H< urged legislative action to provide vocational training at the Fori Grant school for l oys, and suggest ed that boys sent here by the state should not be released until they have learned a u: eful trade. Judge Niles gave a history of the Co-ordinating C< unsils and the purposes thereof, and warned against the injection of religious, political, or any controversial is sues into the counsil. At the con elusion of his addiess, a Co-ordinat ing Counsil was o-'ganized for Coo lidge, with Charles Elledge as per manent chairman, Mrs. C. N. Man gun, vice chairman, and G. W. Ware, secretary. The first meet ing of the counsil will be held Monday night, December 6th, in the Justice of th?

Little Vida Joyce was born in Florence on Augu it 16th last, and after living to bit is her home for about three and half months de parted the 29th of November, a victim of pneumonia. The funeral services were con ducted by the R« v. O. R. Annis, newly arrived pastor of the Metho dist church of Coolidge, and the funeral was .directed by Mssrs Maud & Cole of the Martin Mortu ary. The remains were interred in the Florence Cemetary. Vida Joyce was a beautiful child, with a fine prospect of developing into a life of beauty and service, but again a preventable disease won in the battle. The floral offer ing was simple, a few flowers from the garden of some friends, but it spoke more deeply of love and sympathy than offerings far more elaborate, for “where love is, there is beauty,” and the flowers were beautiful. May the God of Peace and Com fort visit most graciously the ach ing hearts of the young parents. o San Carlos Reservoir Dec. 1, 1937 Capacity 1,200.00 Available storage 53,325 Water discharging 500 Available storage 1 year ago, ac. ft 19,221 o U.
