F ather And Son
Banquet Wednesday
Night Was Hummer

The father and son banquet held
Wednesday night at the Elks Home
as a part Of Winslow's program
of observance Of National Boys
Week, was one Of the outstanding
occasions as~far as boys work in
Winslow is concerned in several
years, it is agreed by members OF
the committee and by the boys
themselves, if expressions of sat
isfaction and contentment at the
outcome of Wednesdays banquet is
to be taken for anything.
Exactly 1876 men and boys sat
down to the banquet tables to par
take of the splendid dinner served
by the WinsloW Woman's club, for
which they were voted a rousing
vote of thanks by the boys and the
old boys too.
A fine speakers program had
been arranged interspersed with
several musical selections by Prof
Lee and his high school orchestra
and selections by Eddie Pooler on
the xylophone.
Chief among the speakers on the
program were George Miller, of
Los Angeles, deputy Regional exc
cutive of the Boy Scouts, who made
a fine talk on the spirit Of the oc-
casion and complemented Winslow
on her splendid spirit shown in the
interest and cooperation with boys
work.
The main address was made by
C. B. Wilson, president of Grand
Canyon Council Boy Scouts and it
was fine talk. Mr.. Wilson in his
own inimitable style spoke on the
relationship between father and son
and what we lack in our dealings
with the boys of today, due to the
age in which we are living He al
so reminded the boys what their
position should be and what must
be expected of them as between
father and dad. The many splen-
did comparisons and situations he
pictured made the speakers address
one long to be remembered by
both the older and younger boys.
A. R. Kleindienst fittingly filled
the place of toastmaster and intro
duced the speakers, while Sam
Proctor, who arranged the program
made a brief address, announcing
that the committee of Rotarians
and Elks who sponsored the get
together program had decided to
make it an annual affair which the
boys approved of by rising vote
to man.
Much credit is due the commit
tees for the manner in which the
affair was handled and to the Elk S
lodge, who opened the doors of
their home for the gathering, to
the Woman's club for the fine meal
they served and, to everyone else
who helped put it over.

CITY is VICTOR
In STOCK YARDS
ORDINANCE FIGHT

argument in superior court at
Holbrook last Saturday between
town attorney Phil Sawyer, repre-
senting the Town of Winslow, and
C. H. Jordan, representing Joe Car
duff, who had, through Jordan, filed
an injunction seeking to restrain
the city from placing the ordinance
concerning stock yards in the city
limits on the ballot at the coming
election, resulted in Judge Crosby
ruling in favor of the city.
Carduff, representing his own in
terests, and those of other owners
of stock yards and corrals, filed
the injunction some time ago, and
Sawyer filed a demurrer on behalf
of the city. Judge Crosby's decis-
ion means that the ordinance,
waich is number 141, and which
was published in the Mail last fall,
will go on the ballot for the peo-
pie to decide whether or not they
desire stockyards in the city limits.
c. L. Murphy, city clerk, is pre-
pairing a bulletin containing the
text of the ordinance and explana-
tion of it, in accordance with law.
These pamphlets will be distribut-
ed within the next ten days.

MASTER MASONS
PLAN BIRTHDAY
REUNION PARTY

Some superstitious folks may
dread the number thirteen, but
Winslow Lodge No. 13, of the Ma
sonic order, are not among those
so inclined, for besides having the
fateful numeral tackled onto their
charter, their birthday falls on May
18th, and the celebration planned
for that day, which marks the
thirtieth year of the lodge hre, is
one that would dispel any gloomy
forebodings anyhow.
The big feature of the day will
be the dinner at $50 p. M in Mas
onic Hall, to which a sweeping
invitation to all master Masons
and their ladies has been issued.
The dinner will be prepared and
served by the ladies of the East
ern Star.
This dinner and birthday party
will be sandwiched in between
lodge work in all three degrees of
the "Blue Lodge" Starting the
afternoon of May 18th. at 800
P. M. work in the first two de-
grees will be on the docket, and
following the dinner the ritual of
the third degree will be admin
stored.
Additional interest will be given
to the meeting by the presence of
many of the original charter mem
bers, and not a few of the past
masters of earlier days will attend
the reunion.

COMMUNITY CHEST
BATTALIONS WILL
STARTLAST OF MAY

No changes have been made in
the proposed date of the big Com
munity Chest drive, and it will take
place probably during the last week
in May. This date had been set
tentatively, and some discussion
was held as to the advisability of
holding the drive the first week in
June, but the committee feels that
such a drive, which is of inestima-
BILE benefit both to donors and
charities, will be welcomed at any
time by the people of Winslow.
To those who have never been
in contact with the working of the
chest idea, the explanation of it's
simplicity and benefit is amazing.
Instead of a number of individual
drives through the year, in which
the "old regulars" stand the entire
expense, and the expenses of which
take large proportion of the funds
collected, a unified drive is made
by a volunteer corps, who make it
a point to see that everyone gives
something.
Dy Llllo OuC 0lAI Oui ms IAC JOoA'
everyone's obligation to charity is
met. Even school children will do
their bit, and the gifts, no matter
how small, will help toward rails
ing Winslow's quota. The funds
thus collected are presented to the
charities which were included in
the budget, their time and money
is saved because it is not necessary
for them to stage separate drives,
and a comfortable surplus to care
for all local individual charity
cases is left to the administration
of a secretary, who will investigate
each case before making the dis
bursement.
The committee has appointed
number of majors" to cover diff
ferent parts of Winslow. These Of
ficers in turn appoint captains"
each of whom appoint a number of
"lieutenants," and the lieutenants
will have their platoon of 'pri-
Yates" By this method, a syste-
matte and effective drive can be
made in a short time, with a col
lector for each small space assign
ed.

Prof. Nininger, who is on years
leave of absence from Mcpherson
college, while in Jerome, heard Of
the recent discoveries of ancient
fossil beds near Winslow, and also
having in view an exploration be-
fore he left Arizona, the giant me-

he decided to spend at least a week
in this neighborhood.
The professor and his family are

first discoverer of the ancient oy-
ster and fossil beds at the edge of
the Painted Desert, about 20 miles
northeast of Winslow, he spent the
day looking over the country and
making a superficial examination of
the area with view of interesting
not only his college but other
scientific institutions and noted
scientists to come here and explore.
He is of the opinion that the pres
ent surface of the terrain in this
section of northern Arizona, was at
one time 1000 feet lower than it

LOCAL MAN HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
ON LEUPP ROAD

By using quick head work, Jack
LoWen, an operator in the Santa
F'e telegraph office in Winslow,
saved himself from certain death
and loss of his car in the swelled
waters of the little Colorado
river about 20 miles north of Win
slow a week ago, following the
heavy rains.
According to Lowen he was
driving to Leupp on the river
route at about 35 miles per hour
and when negotiating the short
curves he was amazed to see
nothing but a body of rushing,
muddy water ahead of him with a
ssheer drop off of 20 feet con-
ffronting him instead of the
smooth roadway.
His former race driving in
stinct impelled him to avert run
ming headlong off the bank into
the river, he reported in telling
of his experience, and throwing
out his clutch and cunning" his
motor to top speed he cramped
the front wheels making the race
drivers turn-about and had headed
his car back to the direction of
Winslow. Both front tires were
torn from the wheels. Looking
back Lowen said he saw large
portion of the bank cave into the
river. Had it not been for MAX
ing instructive use of his racing
experincee Lowen says he would
not be here to tell tn tale.

VIII Develop New
Fishing Paradise

Some of the finest Fishing
grounds" in northern Arizona, the
same being within forty miles of
Winslow, are going to waste, ac-
cording to Pat Duke. who is work
ing in an endeavor to have this
grievous mistake righted.
Duke says that Soldier Lake
and Annex Lake. which are reach
ed from Winslow via Chavez Pass,
are alive with bass, trout and perch
and catfish, and that bad roads
make them almost inaccessible.
If a movement sponsored by
Winslow sportsmen and which is be-
ing worked by Duke, goes through
the road will be improved, rocks,
removed, dater turned from low
places, and the fisherman's para
disc made easy of access.
