Manufacture is beginning to move to the Southwest. and is only retarded in this movement by the lack of assurance of a sufficiently cnntin- uous power development to warrant the construction of plants.

So much Is being said and written about the Daily Vacation Bible school that many people are begin ming to ask. what is it.
 All over this land for the last few days, VIC have been reading about day school commencement programs About 2o.0oo. 900 children have been let loose from schools during the last few days What does this mean to the church? What will these chill dren do for the next three monthsg ? It Ia safe to say that at least one mil lion out of the twenty million will be literally turned out into the street without home or parents during the long days
 Look at the problem from another angle. The Jews are giving about 200 hours of religious instruction tc their children each year. The Cath olics are giving about 1S0 hours each testants are only giving -6 hours ol actual religious instruction to theiI children in the church.
 Look at another fact: A carefu survey of this country has revealed the startling fact that there are 15.- 0oo. 900 children and young people un- der 25 years old who never enter ( church for any purpose Do our chd. dren and young people get enougi religious instruction to fl them fol life7 The vacation school has conn to help solve some of our probleml along these lines
 The Daily Vacation Bible schoo will open it's sessions next Monday June 6, fin the following churches First Baptist, Congregational. Epis T copai, Central. Methodist. First Meth odist, First Presbyterian. Mexican

 For the first time a comprehensive survey was Made of the flood water possibilities of the Verde river. and when the plans and report were sub mitted in May of last year it resulted in the district securing more from the department of the interior than it had asked for or hoped to get All of the sovernment's withdrawn lands along the Verde river were made available for the filing of damsite lo- cations. applications for damsites
 were filed and granted and at the suggestion of the government a three cornered yreement was entered into between tho department. the Salt , River Valley Water Users associa- ton and the Paradise Verde district insuiing harmony of operations in | the future.

achievement with the least possible delay. The engineering corps of the Southern California Edison company. working under the direction of Mir William A. Breckenridge the famous engineer who achieved national prominence through his activities in harnessing the cataract in Niagara Falls. has prepared a number of in teresting studies and curve charts based on a demand for electric ser vice and census figures which show that there Is no uncertainty as to the market for the electric product of the Colorado river.
 One of the most interesting of these studies Is a zone map with its center at the point of the proposed devel- opment on the Colorado river. and radiating in circles of one hundred miles each to the extreme circle of five hundred miles each.

Take your trusty flivver in hand 1 today. gentle reader. and make a run out to the end of North Central ave nue, or if you prefer. travel in your Peer Barrow limousine. It's all the same Make the trip-it's worth your while.
 You arc going to explore an an- discovered country-you are going to see, if you follow this suggestion, a little bit of Paradise in the making. You are going to find out for your self little about the much talked of Paradise-verde irrigation district. You are going to see a cross section of Arizona pioneering about to be rewarded by a realization of it's hopes and aspirations.
 You have often driven to the end of the paving, perhaps. You have ad- mired the beautiful homes which park the avenue from end to end. You have enjoyed the fresh scent of alfalfa and orange bloom. You have coveted, perhaps, the prosperous cit- rus groves through which you pass. All this you have done many times, chances are, if you drive a car.
 But-has curiosity ever prompted you to find out what is beyond the big Arizona canal, which with knife like precision carves the cultivated lands out of the desert waste? There is a big story in this beyond" It is typical Arizona story, for it treats of the same brand of hardy pioneer : ing that forced civilization in tht early days, that converted a barrer wilderness overrun with savages int the prosperous commonwealth tha Arizona is today
 Undiscovered Country
