People from all parts of the world

for sick friends and relatives. Later
came other letters from the same peo.

there seemed to be no way OF bringing

And they refuse to part with him.
Once. a few months ago, it was
rumored at San Giovanni that the
Vatican had ordered their idol to be
sent to a monastery far away. Every

turned out and surrounded the little

they would not let Padre Pho go. And
the plan was abandoned.
What will happen now? Those

medals nobody knows. But they are
to be had in gold and silver, and are
widely circulated.
Nobody believes Padre Pho would

State supervision and control Of

to make driving more pleasant and

The idea comes from BENJAMIN g..

tor vehicles.
Eynon sees not only greater
safety in a unified traffic system,
but greater ease and cooperation ID
enforcing the traffic laws.
To make this possible he not
only would have All laws, except
those OF necessity local passed by
the State, but also would even
have q uniform system Of traffic
police apart from the local fcrces,
and q uniform State system OF
traffic courts.
Much OF the legislation now in
effect" Eynon comments. is such
q source OF harassment and be,
devilment to the car owner as al.

ownership.
Local physical characteristics

to assume that the motorist' from

will be acquainted with all the
freak equation some city councils
try to enforce. Regulatory legis.

COMING TO SENSES
(Jerome News

The state of Arizona is reported
to have filed with the federal pow
er commission an application for
permit to build a great dam
above Glen Canyon. The proposed
dam would have the rather ex-
IRENE height of 693 feet-although
this is not prohibitive-an would
impound 50,000,000 feet of water.
The idea is strictly k.-but
why go ABOVE the site that has
been approved by the government
engineers, the one at Glen Canyon,
and which is admittedly the most
perfect on the river?
This paper has consistently
maintained that the first dam on
the Colorado should be built at
the HEAD of the great fall thru
the canyon, and it is at least pleas
ing to know that common sense is
beginning to be apparent at Phoe-
nix. 1t is as certain as anything
