The campaign is to cover high schools industries and

the avoidance Of infectious diseases tuberculosis ty-

Moving pictures, sereoptcon slides, card displays lee

4cipal means Of reaching the public.
Certainly no movement Of greater moment to the state
has ever been naugurated and it needs only the cooper
alton Of each county to make it success Besides the
general plan to reach boys and girls, intensive cam

Work on Vail-Benson Road

Last Sundays Tucson Star had
the following concerning the road
work west of Benson:
The Vail-Benson road is three
months nearer completion by the
courtesy of Senator Roberts. of
Cochise, who used his influence to
have the Cochise supervisors pass
a resolution that it would not hon
or any more vouchers issued by
the state highway department.
Orders were immediately for
warded to State Division Engineer
Frazier by State Engineer Tom
Maddox to withdraw all equipment
and discharge all men working on
the Tombstone Fairbanks road,
which was practically completed,
only lacking surfacing and could
nave been completed IN fifteen
days, and haul the equipment to
Santa Cruz and Pima county.
The federal aid on the Vail Ben
son road is expected daily. The
equipment will be set up on this
road and Tucson will get the road
with the full equipment working
which had not been expected for
several months. The order of the
state engineer effects also the state
maintenance crew which will. be
brought to Pima and Santa Cruz
counties with all their equipment.
Division Engineer Frazier reach
ed Tucson last night with A. S.
Noon, general contractor, en- route
to Tombstone to prepare for the
evacuation of the state engineer
forces and equipment from Cochise
county and to begin the attack on
the Vail Benson road.
