PROPER CARE MAY
 SAVE MANY LIVES
Visiting Nurses Have Wonderful Record in Helping Community

An old man, three score and ten, and paralyzed was forced to depend upon his aged wife for support. But the work of carrying on the family maintainence was d heavy job for the wife. She became i'll. "I fear an op- eration will be necessary" said the physician. She probably will have to so to the hospital" What will be- come of me-" asked the aged and helpless man. The doctor pondered. There is still a chance. with expert help We might save an operation But nurses were expensive. What could he do?
 The doctor knew. What do We have annual drives of the United Community corporation for" he thought, 'if not to help in just such a crisis" So the physician notified the Visiting Nurse association and nurse was dispatched to the home Of the invalid. The stricken wife was given attention and aid under the instruc- lions of the physician, the operation was avoided and now she has resumed her place as the family proyider.
 III diiolncI IdlliltS lIlS Hulit'I ndu died just a few weeks previously. The father was working. There were five children, ranging in age from two years to l2. Baby was ill and the 12- year-oId girl was kept home from school to play nurse as well as house. keeper. Father had to go to work, so sent for a physician. The doctor came and found the baby walking around the floor suffering from pneumonia and fever. Here is where help is needed" said the doctor, and again the Visiting Nurse went in and gave that important treatment which started the baby on its way to recovery. Under the instructions of the family physi- clan, she bathed the baby. applied the pneumonia jacket, put it to. bed, gave it medicine and saw that the l2-year- old sister, mother knew just what to do next
 These are but two instances, samples rather than illustrations Of what the Visiting Nurses do. Last year six of these nurses called on l0,- b62 people.
 To continue this work requires siS,- h63, but from the United Community corporation only s6,foi.15 is asked. The drive is nearly finished but the amount needed is far below the mark.

"I am convinced that the Arizona
electorate is honest in the divergence
of its opinion. Therefore, | would
submit this question to the people
for an advisory vote on the question
of ratification or rejection of
the compact The people alone
have the right to determine how the
state shall proceed in developing this
great heritage"
Mr.. Osborn's plank also contains
a concise, understandable plan for tax
reduction and an economic admins
tration; he IS unequivocally behind
the national ticket as represented by
John w. Davis and Charles w. Bry-
an and his plan for operation Of the
state highway department has been
acclaimed by leaders as one Of
easy feasibility and economic value.
Mr.. Osborne is a native of Arizona.
He was born in Phoenix a little over
40 years ago of good old pioneer
stock. His father, Neri Osborn, Sr.,
located in Prescott in 1864, driving
across the plains in a prairie schoon-
er.
The candidate was educated in the
public schools of Maricopa county
during part Of which time he sold pa
pers on the streets OF Phoenix. His
first insight into public affairs came
when he went to Washington as
private secretary to ]. f. Wilson,
territorial delegate to Congress.

OSBORN GIVES HIS
PLATFORM FOR GOV

The Ku Klux Klan and the Colora-
do river issue form the principal
planks in the platform Of Sidney Z.
Osborne in his campaign for the
democratic nomination for governor.
And on each, this candidate has tax
en- definite, firm stand, with no at
tempt to sidestep the questions which
he holds are uppermost in the minds
of Arizona democracy at this time.
Mr.. Osborne is unalterably and un-
equivocally opposed to the khan or any
similar organization, holding that it
is contrary to the Jeffersonian prin-
ciples of democracy, guaranteeing re-
ligious freedom to all. The organl-
zation he declares has no place or
part in the affairs of state or ma
ton and is vigorously prosecuting
this contention in all of his campaign
addresses.
Regarding the Colorado River, the
candidate is pledged to action, to initl-
ate steps that will bring about the
development OF this great heritage of
Arizona without further delay. The
Colorado, he contends is a resource
that should be contributing hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually to
the wealth of the baby commonwealth
and obstructionists to its development
are responsible for needless waste.
Proper development of the Colo
RADIO will bring Arizona hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in revenue an
nually" Mr.. Osborne declares. "None
are opposed to its development. The

of the rest Of his life to hunting down

him he's going to kill him by the

can hear; because the consequences
are apt to be dire.
