President j. C. Barnes presided,
and the gentleman was in an un-
usually happy vein. In his intro
ductory remarks Mr.. Barnes stated
that there were gathered at the
festal board a number of members
greater than the entire membership
of the Association thirty days ago;
and he called attention to the fact
that the total membership now has
reached 250-which statement was
received with applause.
Mr. Barnes introduced Miss Rad
ford, Red Cross worker, who made
fine address, telling of some of the
war work in which she has participat-
ed, outlining the peace work the or
ganization finds at hand, and ap-
pealing for countenance and support.
The lady stated that Nogaies Chap
ter, Red Cross of America, had
adopted, the preceding evening, re-
solution approving the idea of loca-
ton of the federal building on the
high school grounds, and making
there fine civic center. The lady
said that the local chapter con-

aviation site committee described the
work doing in grading the site chos-
en-, and stated that by another week

landings can be effected, while it is
anticipated that within three weeks
all that preliminary work will be
completed, when construction work
will begin upon the necessary build

the trip exhilirating and enjoyable.
Mr.. T. J. Wylie was called and adj

He controverted objections he had
heard advanced that the site is not
suitable, on account of there being
mud there when it rains. He said
his experience in trucking had demon
strated to his mind that there is mud
in rainy weather wherever there is
flat ground in Nogales. He called
all to unite with the wishes of the
majority as expressed by the Young
Business Mems Association, Chamber
of Commerce, City Council, Red
Cross, etc., and all pull for location of
the federal building on ground tend
