MAYOR ENDORSES
FOREST RANGERS
BLUE RIDGE CAMP

That Winsl0W people are inter
ested in such camp ground as
was proposed by Forest Ranger
Frank Buster a short time ago is
evident from a letter received in
the mail" office from Mayor F. B.
Douglas. Busters proposal was to
clear a camp site at Blue Ridge
ranger station, where he is locat-
ed, and fence it, construct tables
and fireplaces and other accommo-
dations, for the benefit of Winslow
people, and at no cost to them.
In answer to Busters request for
an expression of opinion as to the
public's attitude toward such a
camp, the mayors letter is repro
duced here:
The Winslow Mail,
City.
Gentlemen
have read with a great deal of
interest the item in the last issue
of your paper stating that Ranger
Frank Buster had offered to pre-
pare camp ground near Blue
Ridge Ranger Station, for use OF
the public.
Ranger Busters offer is very
commendable and it is my sincere
hope that he receives sufficient sup
port from the people of Winslow
to warrant his proceeding with the
idea.
am we'll acquainted with the
country in the vicinity of Blue
Ridge Station and l am sure that
the people of Winslow could spend
many enjoyable hours there. Dur
ing the summer and fall large
number of people camp or picnic
in that vicinity and / am sure that
with a camp ground available, such
as Mr.. Buster proposes, an even
greater number of people would
take advantage of the facilities Of
fered and spend their vacations
nearer home. The new road re-
Gently completed by the county
forces is in good shape and has
greatly reduced the driving time to
this locality making it available
to even those who have only few
hours or a single day to spend.
will ask that you please pass
this letter on to Mr.. Buster so that
he will know how I, as we'll as the
other members of the council feel
toward his offer.
Yours very truly,
FRED B. DOUGLAS, Mayor.

of the season. The Hospital Fund
Benefit dance to be given Satur-

much time from your dancing. 1t

w. D. HI. Apprentice
Club Dance Was
w e III Attended d

The first of series of dances
to be given by the w. D. H. APP
prentice Club of Winsiow, held
last Friday night at Arcadia
Hall was a success socially, al
though financially not up to ex-
pectations. The plan of the local
Santa Fe Apprentice club is to
the next six or eight months with
give a series of dances here for
a view of raising sufficient funds
to help meet the expense of bring
ing the next Santa Fe Apprentice
Club Convention to Winslow.
Plans to bring the apprentice
convention here next year were
laid at the last convention held
during March at Layunta, Colo.
Between 500 young men will be
in attendance and the local club
is doing everything in their power
to boost for the next convention
here.
In the future it is their hope
that Winslow people patronize
their dances which will give them
profit and which will go long
toward bringing the convention
here next year for it is pointed
out, the holding of the convention
in Winslow will do more toward
advertising Winslow than any
other one thing that could be ac-
complished as these young men
come from all over the company's
lines in the United States.

pie.

ready under formation and follow

ther steps to bring this to reliza-
ton to be approved by the COVER
nor and placed on record.

appreciation of a new show house
here, almost two thousand Wins

and comfortable; just small enough
to be cozy, and not too small to
be comfortable. The seats are
comfortably upholstered, the deco
rative colors are light and attrac-
tive, shaded wall lights add a
pleasing touch, and the music is
all that music should be.
This weeks program started yes
terday with the other TaImadge
sister, Constance, in her latest and
greatest comedy-drama, Her Sister
From Paris" which also shows to-
day, and according to the crowds
who are focking to see this big

as big a drawing card as her tai
ented sister.
