ATTENTIONi CLEAN UP
 DAY IS HERE

Spring is here and the time to clean up all yards and premises. The wagon and Town Council has agreed to haul off all tin cans and rubbish that is collected and placed in boxes and barrels and these boxes and barrels put in the alley at a convenient place for the driver of City wagon to col lect same.
 The wagon will make the rounds on May 8th and will give everyone an opportunity to have their rubbish ready.
 The rubbish that is not re- moved at this time will have to be removed anyway, and at the expense of the property owners who do not take advantage of this generous offer of the May or and Town Council. There are a few places in the town where dish water and SlOp is run into the gutters. This is a deplorable condition and is violation of city ordinance and those responsible will be held accountable under this ordinance.
 The fly season will soon be here and all open privies should be attended to. Those need ing it should be properly clean ed and lime should be freely us- ed in all others.
 Water standing in barrels or other containers should be emptied and all tin cans and rubbish from kitchens should be placed in barrels with covers.
 Stops that are to be removed should be placed in tight con- tainers with close fitting covers to keep out flies.
 Manure in the alleys will have to be removed and the alleys kept in sanitary condi- ton.
 We can make this a clean and healthy town with proper cooperation on the part of every one and with the tourists and summer visitors coming it is up to all of us to do our part and keep Williams the beauti- full place that Nature intended it to be.

 Town Health Officer.

RECEPTION IN HONOR
 OF MRS. CURETON

One of the most enjoyable events in the Club year of the Woman's Club civilians, was the reception held last Satur- day in honor of Mrs. T. H. Cur eton, the newly elected State Federation president. It was Mrs. Fletcher By.
 Mrs. Uel Bobbitt had charge of the unusually interesting program. Each of the dele gates gave entertaining ac- counts of some of their conven- ton experiences. Mrs: Harold Greene told of the various speakers of the convention Mrs. Cureton kept everyone laughing with an intimate pie ture of her thoughts and ex- periences before and during the Kingman meetings. Mrs. Mont gomery gave a eu1ogy to the hospitality of the Kingman Club and also some thrilling happenings of election morning. Miss Hoffner's account of the Oatman trip was full of meat and very interesting even to the delegates who lacked her keen eyes, ears, and understanding amid the roar of the gold mills. Mrs. Rittenhouse gave some very amusing and heartfelt ad- vice to the new president which was met with gales oflaughter.
 Mrs. Roy Watson, Mrs. Edwin U. Johnson, Mrs. J. W. Lee, Mrs. w. c. Kitten house and Miss Minnie Ander- son each gave musical numbers which were heartily encored. The afternoon closed with the serving of delicious refresh menfs.

now reached 48 and indications point to an enrolment of sixty or seventy within the next few years.
 Such very marked progress in a school can be secured only thru the. continuous service of an able superintendent. Where uperintendents change each year it is impossible to follow out any consistent course or program for the development of the school, as different sup erintendents will vary in methods and plans for organiz- atlon. To a great extent each new superintendent undoes the work of his predecessor and he only gets we'll started with his own work when his first term is up.
 Successful as MT. Cureton has been with his school work he has been no less successful in business life. He owns a great deal of real-estate in the Town of Williams and has been very successful in making his investments in the town yield a good return. He is a man of family and a public spirited 1 citizen. Every movement for l the betternient or development of the community finds MT. Cureton among the foremost workers. In retaining him as superintendent of the schools the board is assuring the con- tlnued residence here of an able and progressive citizen.

MANAGER WILDER SPEAKS
 OF MILL OPERATIONS

had a very interesting inter view one day this week with MT. E.. J. Wilder, manager of tn Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company. MT. Wilder spoke of the policy of the company under his management and of the plans for cutting and oper- ation.
 The general policy of the company will remain the same as formerly. MT. Wilder states that he is very well satis- fled with the class of labor that he is able to secure and that he expects to continue with prac- tically the same force of work men both at the camps and at the mill. In reply to a ques- tion regarding a rumor that has been circulated regarding the importation of negro labor to work here, he stated that he had not given such a step a moments consideration as he did not consider the negro fit ted for work in this locality and he was very we'll satisfied with the labor which he is able to secure right here.
 A full force is at work in the camps at the present time and MT. Wilder hopes to keep the camps going right along with a full crew. There Is about two years cutting on the side of Hendricks Peak where the camp IS now located. It is quite probable that further tim Der near the same locality will be secured before the two years IS up so that the camps will be continued near that field for a. number of years longer.
 The mill Is running along steadily with a full crew and MT. Wilder hopes to keep it go- ing in just this way right along year after year. Asked about the rumor that mill might start night shift in order to speed up the work and finish cutting sooner than formerly antici- pated, he stated that there was nothing to this.
 MT. Wilder wants the town people to understand that he is ready and eager at all times to cooperate in anything for the good of the community. He considers it good business on the part of the Saginaw & Manistee Lumber Company to do any thing within it's power to he1p make Williams a progressive and lively little town that will be a pleasant place in which workmen for the Mill may re- side. This will naturally make 1t much easier to attract and keep workmen. Naturally the mill is big asset to the town and the town in turn is a big asset to the mill. The way is open for the close cooperation between Williams and her big gest industry, for developing 1 the close cooperation which will rebound to the benefit ot both.
 Invariably those who have met MT. Wilder have been pleased to make his acquaint-
 ance as a friend, and at the same time have been impressed by his thoroughly businesslike
 manner in dealing with any

lie schools will be pleased to learn that Prof. T. H. Cureton has accepted the superinten- dency of the schools for the school year 1922-23. This will be the fifth consecutive year that MT. Cureton has held this position, thus establishing very remarkable precedent in the history of the Williams school. Except for Prof. Younpblood, who headed the Williams school for two years, no other teacher in the history of the school has succeeded in Holding the position of princ1- pal or superintendent for more than one term; in fact there were more principals than there were terms up until the tune MT. Cureton was chosen, four wears ago. What is still more remarkable and a greater cause for thankfulness, is the fact that the good work of MT. Cureton is now more generally appreciated than ever before -and the harmony in the schools and between teachers and pat rons is by far the best that has ever been known in Williams.
 The school board would be forced to search far to find a man more eminently qualified to fill the position of superin- tendent of the public schools, than MT. Cureton. His school ing has been more than ample for grade and high school work. The first degree taken by Prof. Cureton was that of P. D. B.. -4Bachelor Pedagogy in the Missouri Teachers College at Warrensburg, Mo. He next attended the University of Kansas where he won two degrees: A. B. Bachelor of -Arts) and l.. L. B. Bachelor of Iaws). His next schooling was at Harvard where he se- cured his A. M. (Master of -Arts) degree and did addition al post graduate work. MT. Cureton has been admitted to the Bar in Kansas and also in Arizona
 Further qualifications of MT. Cureton are his 20 years of practical experience in teach ' ing and his two years in the Arizona legislature where he learned much that is not to be secured from books.
 One proof of the exceptional , ability of MT. Cureton as an in structor is the success which he met while teaching in summer school at the Northern Arizona Normal. The Normal faculty , were so pleased with his work that they sought to retain hin permanently there.
 The patrons of the Williams schools are delighted with the , progress that has been made 1T the schools during the past few years. The enrolment haI grown rapidly, a much higher standard of work has been car } ried out and most remarkable
 of all, the high school has at tained a rank enjoyed by bu . few high schools in the state. 4 graduate from the William
 high school is now eligible t
