JOB
Washington Dec. 14
No lnnp-er will the village
portmistress have to choose
between her job and matri
money. She may have both
so Postmaster General Hays
has just ruled," following a
long personal appeal from
Mrs. H, Gardner, member
of the Civil Service Commis
sion. There has been no law on
the subject but heretofore
the practice in the Postoffce
Department when a postmis
tress marries has been to re
quire that she secure a new
appointment, execute a new
bond or pass a civil service
examination, in competition
with others seeking the of
fice. Mrs. Gardner termed, i t
an "obviously unjust condi
tion," The opinion of the
solicitor of the department
was asked and his recom
mendation, on which the
Postmaster General acted,
was not only that there was
no lesra! obstacle other than
deDartmental rulings, but
that the old regulations were
a restriction upon marriage
and therefore "against pub
lic policy."
MARSHAL FOCH
The illustrious marshal
has come and gone. Unlike
feome other celebrities, he is
very democratic. As the
saying goes, "He is as com
mon as an old shoe." He Í3
never too weary to salute
those who gathered to see
him.
We shook hand? with the
great man at Fortress Eh
renbreitstein, Germany ear
ly in 1919, and while w e
boasted but a lieutenant's
commission and he com-mander-in-chief
of the allied
forces, we were treated with
courtesy and kindness. We
servéd under two French
generals and found them
the same way. The French
are a lovable race.
, Let's always remain - re
main their friends.
Work is again being push
ed with all haste on the
Scorse building. With fair
weather a great deal should
be accomplisaed within the
next thirty days.

BLACK CANYON RE
SUMES DRILLING
Active drilling is again the
order at the Black Canyon
well. Manager McCloskey
has a full force at the well,
and is actively at work.
The Black Canyon struc
ture is one of the best in the
field, and no doubt Manager
McCloskey will produce re
sults that will be both pleas
ing and profitable to the
stockholders. The camp is
one of the neatest and best
arranged in the field.
SCHOOL NOTES
The basket ball games last
Friday night were replete
with interest and splendid
playing. The curtain raiser
featured the Junior High
Girls and the second team of
the high school. The Junior
Hi Girls captured the game
by a score ,pf 11 to 2, Bessie
Hathorn was easily (the stau
of the game. It seems to
run in the Hathorn family
to star in athletics.
Probably the most excit
ingandthe hardest fought
game was between the Wil
liams Hi girls and the- Hol
brook Hi girls. The game
resulted in a victory for the
Holbrook girls to the tune of
19 to 16. This makes the
third of the five games which
the local team have won.
The Williams girls are a fine;
bunch of kids, and we are
always glad to have them
with us. I
Holbrook Hi boys were de-j
f eated by the boys from the
Snowflake Academy, the
score being 58 to 21. . De
spite the fact that the score
against our boys was some
what large, our boys played
remarkably welJ. Two weeks
practice sums up their train
ing; with a little more prac
tice they will be tough op
ponents for any team.
School will close Dec. 22,
and will take up again after
the holidays, Tuesday Jan.
3rd. This means a vacation
of eleven days duration.
Thursday, Dec. 22nd, Cen
tral und the High school
grades will render Xmas pro
grams; both will be held in
the new gymnasium. Pro
gram of Central will be held
in the morning, and that of
of the High School grades
will be held in the afternoon.

A PROCLAMATION
Designating Saturday, Dec
ember 17th as Forget-Me-Not
Day I
The debt which we as
American citizens, owe t o
those who gave their servic
es for this country in the
Great War, is so real that
we cannot be reminded of it
too often, especially if the
results is in some concrete re
cognition of what we owe
them. Particularly is this
true with reference to the
thousands of disi4)Ied Ameri
can soldiers who now find
themselves unable to earn a
livelihood as a result of the
wounds they received or
they endured in that tremen
dous conflict.
Although our government
is carrying out a program
of rehabilitation for the be
nefit of these sufferers, there
are many cases which can
not be reached by govern
mental machinery, and i t
therefore behooves us t o
add our assistance in any
way possible to afford them
relief.'
Saturday, December 17th,
has been designated by the
National Headquarters o f
the Disabled American Vet
erans of the World War as
the day on which a nation
wide effort will be made for
the purpose of creating a re
fund to be used exclusively
in assisting disabled veter
ans who are in need of help.
It is-proposed that this laud
able plan be carried out
through the sale of forget-me-nots
in every American
community. The funds thus
obtained are to be divided
equally between the local
chapter and the treasury of
the national organization.
It appearing that the Dis
abled American War Veter
ans of the World War is an
organization, the members
ind officers 01 wnicn serve
vi thou t salary and the mo
ives of this campaign being
vholly altruistic, I would be
speak for this effort the
íearty cooperation and as
sistance of the people of Ari
zona. May not the Christmas
spirit which is finding ex
pression in cur hearts a t
this time reach out to those
men who are paying with
pain and suffering for the
privileges which we enjoy,
and may we not respond

DANCE AT, PASTIME
The dance last Monday
night at the Pastime Theatre
for the benefit of the Catho
lic Church was a huge suc
cess. It was early noted
that probably the crowd be
a large one, and as time
slipped by the crowd of
dancers increased to a point
where it taxed the capacity
of the theatre to take care
of them.
The music was furnished
by a "Sammie" Modriga of
Winslow and Rov Cross. The
dance was- bath a sociaV ánd
financial success.
