HOST OF FRIENDS
SHOW DEEP
SORROW
LAST SAD RITES FOR
GEORGIA BOWMA~' :.
Those Who Mourn Her Filled
Episcopal Church at the
Services Friday.

Seldom is such a tribute paid
to a child of such tender years
as marked the attendance Fri
day morning at the obsequies
over the remains of little Geor-
gia Bowman.
St. Andrews Episcopal church
was filled with those who came
as much to mourn for the de-
parted baby as they did to ex-
press sympathy with the bereav-
ed parents. For little Georgia
was a child of such winsome per-
sonality that she had won the
hearts of everyone who knew
her, and sincere grief for her un-
timely taking off was universal
ly felt by every person who had
come in contact with her.
Chaplain Eusey officiated,
and the services we're most AT,
Ifecting. With rare tact he
spoke words of comfort and hope
for the grief bowed parents, and
rendered tender tribute to the
qualities of the dead, which had
so endeared her to all.
If an unusual outpouring oil
universal sympathy can help In
such a loss, Mr.. and Mrs. Writ
G.. Bowman certainly had that
support in their sorrow.
The following little friends OF
the dead child acted as pallbetr-
ers. Helen Poole, Helen Wylie
Doris Gustetter, Clarita Sando
val, iIortense Van Mourick, Wv
ian Faust and Mary Wise.

Blasting in Arroyo HurLs Big
Rocks About.

When a big rock crashed into
a house near the arroyo Friday,
landing in a bed and breaking
the springs, the citizen residing
there thought that the Germans
were bombarding Nogales from
the Mexican side of the inter-
national line.
Inquiry revealed that the rock
was the result of a blast in the
section of the arroyo which is to
be covered by Contractor David
Bankson, and the contractor was
notified that his crew was using
their explosives with too little
care.
A force of men are clearing
away the earth and rock in the
bed of the arroyo preparatory to
laying the foundations for the
new structure that will cover
the waterway, and within a few
days they will give way to the
concrete crew, who will put in
the foundation. Work on tear
ing out the concrete wall and
iron railing on the east side OF
the arroyo will be postponed as
long as possible.

MEN WAIVE THEIR
EXEMPTION
RIGHTS
GATLIN AND LAKE SET
PATRIOTIC EXAMPLE.
Ask Advancement on Selective
Lists That They May Be
Sent to War.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Woody
Gatlin walked into County Re-
corder Reddoch's office, in the
court house Friday and an
nounced that he wished to waive
his exemption so as to be includ-
ed in the boys to be sent to
training camp on May 10, that
official got shock that sent pa
triotic thrills up and down his
spinal column.
And while he was still rumi-
mating over the difference in
spirit between Gatlin and some
others whom he knows, Thomas
E. Lake appeared and modestly
requested that he be advanced
from Class 3 to Class l on the
registry lists, so that he might
accompany actin.
Gatlin, as a married man, was
a Class 4-A man. That means
that he might have evaded going
into the army for an indefinite
time, for no one believes now
that the war will possibly last
so long as to make necessary
calling out that class.
But it appeared that Mr.. and
Mrs. Gatlin have threshed the
problem out between them, and
with her consent he was prepar-
ed to make the great sacrifice.
/ So Reddoch prepared the nee
essary papers. Among them
was one by which Mrs. Gatlin
relinquished her claim to her
husband and waived her right
to hold him back from what
they both regarded as his duty.
Seating herself at the desk,
she carefully traced her name to
the fateful document that would
send her man across the seas
into danger and, maphap, death.
If her hand trembled and falter-
led at the task, it is no cause for
wonder.
But it was with a brave smile
THAT she looked up after she had
finished, and when the other
formalities were completed, the
pair walked out with a look of
pride that would make them the
erHy of many a nun who has
knowingly shirked his duty in
his country's hour of need.
With Tom Lake the case was
somewhat different. Lake has q
brother who has been wholly de-
pendent upon him for support
because of ill health. That was

why he was listed in Class 3.
But when his brother regain
ed his health recently and Sc
cured a position that will pro-
vide him an independent living,
Lake decided that it was up to
him to "do his bit" So, without
waiting for the slow process of
having Uncle Sam discover the
facts, he came in to att nd to the
matter.
Gatlin and Lake will be sent t.
