No accidents will mar the pleasure Salt River Valley motorists will have on their run to the dam next week, to help celebrate the large amount of wa ter in the reservoir. The road will be well patrolled.
 It has all been divided up so that different men will have different re- responsibilities. And it's like this:
 From the city limits of Mesa to the dam. Jeff Adams. sheriff of Maricopa county will be the boss.
 At the dam. F. Power Conway and Project Manager c. H. Fitch will be twin czars.
 At Fish Creek station, Roy Murray will be in charge of the toll gate Here it is that the motorists will pay their dollar a car to help defray the expens- es of the celebration. Each car will get two Phoenix Roosevelt Dam Celebra- ton Remnants. On one Of them. the writing will read from the tip to the back, and on the other. vice versa on the other side just turned around. That is so they can be hooked on the machines in q decorative and classy manner
 C. H. Akers has charge of the speak. ing program. The publication of the conference committee that informs ev- erybody of the jubilee. says he has charge of the speakers. too. Maybe he will herd them around. Anyhow, he will have a flock of them on hand to tell the listeners all about the glorious achievement that is being celebrated.
 Traffic from NewtoWn to the dam and backwards will be in charge of Arthur Luhrs.
 The barbecue and dances and fish fry and boating and all those enter taining features will be ably handled by committees Of Globe business men with Joe Prochaska at their head

THE ORDINARY MAN

He kept the middle of the road and
 did his level best. A simple, ordinary man, in common
 garments dressed; The one ambition that he had was
 just to keep his brood Supplied with shoes and clothing
 warm, and filled with wholesome
 food.
 He never made a bid for fame, nor
 seemed to want to roam, The only crowd he ever led Was
 just the few at home.~ He never whimpered at his lot, when
 extra burdens came He never told his weariness or spoke
 of being lame,
 But trudged along from day to day
 ana did the best he could And seemed content if those at home : his efforts understood. 4 simple, ordinary man, who faced
 each day of strife, That he might give to those he loved
 some happiness ill life.
 The wishes of his wife and babes
 to him were stern commands. II kept him straining at the yoke
 to meet their new demands, He had no time for selfish play. no
 days to sit and rest, Each morning brought the ceaselcss
 grind, each evening closed q test. And always as he turned away from
 home and shut the door The pack or burdens on his pack
 weighed just little more. He never sought the joys of fame. nor brilliant tried to be. The patch of blue above his home
 was all he wished to see: In simple toll he spent his life, the
 simple prizes gained. A back street, coZy little house where love and sweetness reigned. 2 A wife, whose every word was kind and every look a smile, A set of happy little tots that made each care worth while. He kept to the middle of the read, and did his level best, He turned his back upon the east and brovely faced the west. And all he ever earned of owned to those he loved he gave. And to their joys and their desires he made himself q slave: This simple, ordinary man. content
