Oil Prospects.

Not all the oil prospects are in
the Holbrook country if Mr..
Keith's opinion has any value.
He claims to have a location near
the Clear Creek dam, about six
miles from Winslow, where oil
is daily seeping out of the ground.
Taking the difference in elevation
between the Holbrook field and
Clear Creek as his basis, Mr..
Keith is satisfied oil can be struck
at a depth of at least 500 feet less
distance at Clear Creek. We un-
derstand the Adamana Oil Co.
are negotiating with Mr.. Keith
to undertake the sinking of a
we'll on this particular location,
and if the deal is made derrick
will be erected at an early day.
With an oil rig working at Clear
Creek there might develope a
friendly rivalry between Winslow
and Holbrook as to which place
would be the first to strike oil.

High School Opens.

After being closed six weeks
on account of the influenza quar-
antine the high school opened
yesterday morning, on the order
OF DR.. C. A. Klein, of Phoenix,
representing the state board of
health. Monday the North Gram
mar School will be opened, and
the opening of the oiher two
buildings will follow within a few
days. The quarantine will prob
ably be raised completely by Sat-
day, allowing the churches, thea
ties and pool halls to resume ac-
tivities.
There is no apparent reason
why the schools should not be
open, as the wave of epidemic
has passed. The school build
ings are all sanitary in construc-
ton. and have been thoroughly
fumigated: the walls and wood
work have been washed and the
floors scrubbed, so there is hard
ly a chance for any infection.
The children would be safer from
contracting disease in school than
if permitted to be on the streets.

Must Earn the Money.

There is a prevailing idea
among some of the parents of
the Victory Boys and Girls that
the money they have pledged for
the United War Work campaign
can be given to them. This is a
mistake. The money is to be
earned by the children by such
methods as their parents may see
fit or by employment outside
the homes. 1t is hoped the pa
rents will look at it in the light
of earn and give, and cooperate
with members of the committee.

Thanksgiving Day.

Thursday. November 28th, will
be Thanksgiving Day, and what
a grand day of rejoicing it will
be to the American people. In
years agone its observance has
been chiefly given over to a day
of feasting and pleasure, but
with little if any thought of
thanksgiving to the Supreme Rul-
er for the many comforts and
joys vouchsafed during the year.
This year, with worlds peace
just opening before us, after so
many brave lives have been sac
rificed, we have every reason to
be truly thankful that the boys
who are over there will soon be
returned to us. and their individ-
ual firesides, and again take their
places in the ranks of civilian
workers. We are just closing a
United War Work campaign,
and 1t would be proper that we
have United Thanksgiving SER
vice to observe the day in all the
fullness of its purpose.

Red Cross Notes.

All persons holding coupons
emitting them to send a Christ
mas packages to the men in the
American expeditionary forces
over seas may secure cartons and
instructions for packing the same
by applying to A. R. Goldman,
who has been appointed inspec-
tor for the local Red Cross Chap
ter. All packages must be in
by Nov. Goth.
We now have special coupons
to be issued upon application to
the nearest Of kin, permitting
them to send Christmas pack
ages to individuals serving in the
Red Cross, Y. M. c.. A.. K. of c..
and other similar organizations
operating in connection with the
military forces of the United
States or the allies in Europe, or
in connection with the allied or
expeditionary forces elsewhere.
and to individuals serving in the
armies serving in the armies of
the allies in Europe or elsewhere.
The necessary blanks for send
ing the above may be secured by
applying to Mr.. Goldman.
Several boqes of work are be-
ing sent out to headquarters this
week. The end of the war does
not mean a cessation of work by
the Red Cross. Hospital and
army needs are as great now as
ever, and will continue to be so
for some time to come. AS soon
as the quarantine is lifted it is
hoped that all who can possibly
do so will assist at the work
room. We have a great deal of
work that must be gotten out
with all possible speed.
A telegram from Mrs. Nc
Leish, Of the production depart
ment of the Pacific Division, has
called Mrs, Goldman to Phoenix
to attend a conference to be held

Cleaning Up the Town.

DR.. c. A. Klein, associate sur
geon U. S. Public Health service,
and deputy state supt. of public
health, was sent to Winslow last
Sunday to investigate conditions,
and to decide when the quaran-
tine should be raised. During
the time he has been here he has
found very unsatisfactory con-
ditions existing as to cleanliness,
and has issued drastic orders for
their correction. He expects to
remain here for some time to see
that his orders are obeyed, and
it is possible he will raise the
quarantine next Monday, pro-
vlded the people will avail them
selves of the free government
vaccination which he will give at
the Central Drug Co. between
the hours of 9 to IL a. M, 2::3O
to a p. m. and from 7:3O to $3.50
p. m. The government strongly
advises vaccination as a safe pre-
ventative measure against pneu-
monia following influenza, and
it is hoped all will avail them
selves of the free service.
