STEWARDSHIP DAY.

The Inter Church World Movement,
which at present seems to be one of
the biggests movements yet attempt
ed by the churches. since it is world
wide and includes practically all de-
nominations, has set aside Sunday,
February 22nd, as Stewardship day,
therefore this day will be observed by
the Christian church. The purpose of
the movement is to get the needs of
the world before the churches and
communities, and give every one,
whether church member or not, an
opportunity to help support some
church. We feel that many people who
are not helping to support religious
work at present would do so if shown
the needs and properly solicited. Sc
every one will be given that opportu-
nifty by the churches.
Stewardship day is to help us rea-
lize our obligation to ourselves, our
community and to our God. God will
require of each of us an account OF
our stewardship on that Last Day
February 22nd will be the beginning
of the leach one win one' campaign
among the Christian churches; this
campaign closes Easter Sunday. We
hope to enlist every member of our
church in a definite work for the
church.
Edgar Lloyd Smith will fill the
Christian church pulpit both services
Sunday. The public is invited.

CITY MAKES OFFER
FOR GAS PLANT.

Tuesday evening the City Council
met in special session to consider the
advisability of purchasing the local
gas plant. and after carefully consi-
iering the valuation report of Engi-
leer McCreary they decided to make
he company a tentative offer of $12,-
100 for the plant. The plant at pre-
sent is operating under a slight loss,
out it was thought that the city could
AXE it over and give it the proper
management, install more meters, and
together with the proposed raise in
minimum rates which it is thought the
Corporation Commission will allow
The plant could be made to pay
handsome dividend.
Other cities insthe State have muni-
cipal owned gas, light and water
plants which pay big dividends and
help reduce the taxation rates, and the
Council did not feel that they should
take the responsibility of turning
down their offer before giving the resi-
dents a chance to vote on the issue
and decide for themselves whether
they wanted the gas plant or not.

SCHOOL GYMNASIUM
AND AUDITORIUM.

Elsewhere in the Mail will be found
formal notice of an election for bonds
to complete the Washington school
building. 1t is generally known that
the original plans for this building
called for a gymnasium and auditor
ium between the wings of the north
side and that the building was so con-
structed that this addition could be
made at any time
The School Board has decided that
the need for this building is so great
that the citizens of the town should be
given an opportunity to vote upon it.
One of the great services the selec-
tive draft rendered to this country
was to open the eyes of the people to
the imperative need of greater physi-
| cal education. Over thirty per cent
of the young men of this country, in
the best years of their lives, were re-
jected on account of physical disabili
ty. The time to correct this national
disgrace is in childhood and the place
is the public school. Every progress
sive system in the land is giving more
to any other one thing connected with
education
Physical education has been given
in every room and every grade in the
Winslow schools this year it seems to
have met the universal approval of the
patrons of the school. 1t has been
given under great handicaps. Basket
ball games have been played out doors
with an Arizona sand storm holding
snow storm on deck, and as a result
heavy deficits were encountered The
gymnasium work has been given in
the mud and in a store room with no
heat and without a single piece of ap-
paratus.
The School Board does not believe
that Winslow people approve Of such
condition. They believe that chill
dren in Winslow are entitled to the
same privileges and opportunities as
children in Williams, Prescott, Flag
staff and practically every other town
in Arizona.
The building can be economically
constructed; it will give the citizens
Of the town we'll equipped hall for
their own, capable of seating 500 peo-
pie where public meetings Of every
sort may be held; it will offer oppor-
tunities for physical training classes
at night for adults and it can be
built with very small burden on the
taxpayer.
A financial discussion of the pro-
position will be in next weeks issue
of the Mail.

ELECTRIC THEATER IMPROVED.

Jud Lathrop, owner of the Electric

about thirty feet off the front of the
building and converting 1t into a bill
lizard parlor which will be opened
some time this week or as soon as the
tables arrive. He has removed the
stage and has his dance hall and NOV
ing picture show in the rear Of the
pool hall This does not make any
difference in the size Of the dance hall
as the removal Of the stage offsets the
pool hall which was taken Off the
front of the building. Jud will have

RAILROAD MEMS WAGES CANNOT
BE REDUCED BEFORE SEPT. 1ST.

| Wages established by the Railroad
Administration during the war cannot
be decreased before Sept 1st, under
the railroad reorganization bill which
was submitted yesterday to the House
and Senate
| The bill also seeks to stabilize rates
during the same six months period
providing that prior to Sept 1st no
rates may be reduced unless approved
| by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
The fourteen railroad heads have
called conference to convene Mon
day to discuss the policy to be adopted
in dealing with the Commission, either
! created by law or appointed by the
President to settle wage controver-
sizes.
The main points of the measure
agreed upon are:
Compulsory submission of labor dis
putes to permanent Federal Board
appointed by the President and COM
posed of nine members equally divid-
ed between employer, employe and the
public
Rates to yield the companies re-
turn of 5 IL per cent on their invest
ments.
Government guarantee to railroads
against deficit during first six mon
tbs after roads are turned back
Consolidation of railroads, If ap-
proved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
The labor section provides that "It
shall be the duty of all carriers and
their officers, employees and agents to
exert every reasonable effort and
adapt every available means to avoid
any interruption to the operation of
any carrier growing out of any dis
putes between the carrier and en-
ployes or subordinate officials"
Disputes are to be decided by rail-
road boards of labor adjustment, es-
tablished by agreement between the
carriers concerned and their en-
plOyes.
