Rotarians Hear
Disc ussi ons On
Springerville Roads

Discussions on the conditions OF
the highway leading from Holbrook
to Concho, ST. Johns, Springerville
and on to New Mexico via Socorro,
with it's relation to the National
Old Trails, were heard Wednesday
by Winslow Rotarians, in the alb
sence of the regular program.
Cal Galloway, who was to have
been chairman for the day, was
called out of town on telephone line
trouble and President took charge
of the meeting introducing T.
Younis, of Concho, immigration
commissioner of Apache county
and August Becker Of Springer
vile, both of whom occupied the
principal portion of the session
telling the Rotarians of their situ
alton as far as roads are concern
ed and alleged diverting of tourist
traffic south instead of over the
Old Trails.
This charge is untrue, both
speakers averred, explaining that
their plan was one of cooperation
with the cities and towns along the
Old Trails in this section of the
state, instead of one of attempting
to divert tourist travel. Both in
vited members of Rotary and their
friends to- the big celebration June
19 and 20 on the opening of the
Coronado Trail.
The Rotarians discussed the date
on which members and other Wins
low residents will lturn out to re-
pair the Soldier Lake road, but it
was finally left open with DR.. P.
D. Sprankle, chairman of the COM
mittee to name the date later. The
date will probably be set for some
time next week, and the plans may
call for big barbecue to be held
following the clean up job.
Homer Vaughn discussed briefly
the need of recreational park and
play ground for Winslow, details
of which he will give at later
date.

Mormons To Build
Church In Winslow

First steps toward the construc-
tion of a church of Latter Day
Saints were made this week, when
the church purchased a lot in
Sweeney Heights addition for the
site of their future home. Plans
for the structure have not been
drafted, but it is thought that the
design will be similar to the L. D.
S. church in Santa Ana, Califor-
mia. This building is considered
the ideal type for a medium sized
church.
The lot purchased is on the
northeast corner of Maple and
Hicks, and while no definite date
for the starting of construction is
available it is stated that ground
will be broken in the near future
for the edifice.

Rain Grows Grass
To Fatten Steers
For June Barbecue

Let it rain. Let rain make the
grass grow tall and green and
plentiful. For the taller and green
er the grass, the more forage for
and the more fat on the beeves
that are all unconsciously prepar-
ing for the party being staged Joint
ly by Forest Ranger Frank Buster,
the American Legion Post of Wins
low, and other interested parties.
It's little tough on the steers,
of course, to invite them to appear
at a picnic in the office of chief
item on the menu, but as long as
they aren't tough on the other par
Elephants it will be O. K, and no
consciences need apply, for they
would have to SO on the charcoal
sooner or later, and what better
end could they ask than to appear
in prominent place at that Blue
Ridge Picnic and barbecue that is
threatening to partially depopulate
Winslow on the 18th of June?.
Barbecue and java aren't the
only drawing cards on the bill.
They are just side show to the
main attraction, which is the new
camp site, prepared by Ranger Bus
ter for the pleasure of Winslow
citizens. The camp will be located
on Blue Ridge, a few miles past
BLY, Ranger Station, and will be a
combination of backwoods beauty
in the natural state, and conven-
fences of modern camps.
From the first statement of Bus
ter's idea, the camp has been en-
Enthusiastically greeted, and Buster
has spent many hours in the work
of Improvement, and hopes to OBJ
tain sufficient appreciation from
the department to make it one of
the best campsites in the state.

COMMUNITY
CHEST DRIVE
STARTS JUNE I

After three meetings of the pol
~ committee of the Winslow Com
munity Chest association, the last
of which was held Tuesday even
ing in the office of Sam Proctor,
secretary of the committee, bylaws
and final plans of the method of
procedure were drawn and approx
ed. A short summary of the OBJ
jects of the Chest, the budget, and
the method of fixing the size of
each subscription appear on the
first page of the second section of
this weeks Mail.
The committee has spent many
hours perfecting the plans for the
drives successful completion, and
it is believed by the members of
the committee that the extreme
1y fair way in which the burden
of donation has been distributed by
the Chest plan, where every possi-
BILE subscriber is solicited for a
small donation, will help to make
the drive more popular than any
previous effort of any single char
ity.
Considering charity and welfare
work part of the burden of every
dweller in the community, the COM
mittee plans to call on all Winslow
people to do their share toward
financing all local or national
charity or welfare organizations.
This is the only sanctioned drive
for such a purpose that will take
place in Winslow this year, as
every worthy cause has been in
cluded in the budget. The success
of this drive will determine wheth-
er or not the Community Chest
idea will be used each year.
The starting date has been defi-
nitely set for June 4th, and the plan
of action has been tentatively form
ed. This preliminary plan calls
for sufficient workers to thorough
ly cover Winslow. Everyone is
asked by the committee to bear in
mind the fact that the one subscrip-
tion they will be called upon to
make will cover their entire do
nation to charieies and welfare or
ganizations for the whole year, and
that they will not be constantly So
1icited through the twelve months
for individual drives and personal
/, charity cases.
This will result in a tremendous
saving in time and money to the
community, and for the charities
as we'll, since the centralized drive
cuts down the overhead that is a
necessary evil to all such cam
paigns, and the organizations are
given the money with no strings
attached and no bills to pay.
BY far the largest part of the
money raised by Chest workers
will remain in Winslow, either for
use in individual cases of charity,
in which cases the money will be
disbursed by a committee appoint
ed to inquire into the merits OF
such appears, or for carrying on
local welfare work in the Boy
Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, and sim
liar bodies.
BY next week more data will be
available for publication, since by
that time the committee will have
formed their plan of collection def
initely.

by Consul Mascarenas, who had
displayed the colors of both ma
tions. But, strange to relate, at
the American costom house there
was no display of national colors,
the building was locked, and not
a soul was visible. Later Collec-
tor Webb sought Captain Bird,
and rendered an apology, which
was accepted The collector gave
as excuse that he had not been
notified Of the intended salute, or
he would have been at the custom
house in person to acknowledge
the salute. While Capt. Allen T.
Bird accepted the apology it does
not prevent Editor Allen T. Bird
asserting in print that the collec-
tor failed to observe the usual
conventionality of display of the
national colors on public build
ing on a great national anniver-
sary.
