TRAVEL CONDITIONS OF
STATE IMPROVE RAPIDLY

Travel conditions over the state are
fast being brought back to normal by
the efficient state highway depart
ment, various counties and other
forces striving to maintain unim-
paired motor travel in Arizona.
The Automobile club Of Arizona is
doing good work in supplying the
motoring public with correct road in
formation that does much to prevent
congestion at points of interruption,
like the Gillespie dam crossing of the
Gila river, 55 miles west Of Phoenix.
This much used crossing was made
unusable by the recent rise in the
Gila, 3he mad rush of water pouring
over the dam has damaged the con-
crete apron below the dam, on which
automobile travellers have formerly
effected passage of the Gila at this
point, the state highway department
has advised the Automobile club that
repairs will be necessary after the
flood water subsidies. This will keep
traffic from using this crossing
sometime after the run off.
Work on the new 1600-foot bridge
dDOuL OOU IeeL GOWN river lIoill tllc
dam was not interrupted by the flood.
Manager Treadwell states that this
bridge will prove valuable link in
trans-continental motor travel as it
will assure an open road all the year.
The Rice-Springeryille highway will
be put in good shape as soon as pos
sible in order to care for the heavy
summer automobile traffic into the
White mountain country and northern
Arizona, the great thousand mile loop
trip will be made by hundreds of mo-
tor parties this summer.

ARE WE GOING TO FAIL?

RumOr has it this week that the success of Wins
lows first Community Chest is hanging in balance
due to several causes primarily among which is the
failure of the people of WinslOw to interest them
selves to the extent that they should give to the limit
and not subscribe they would to any particular
charity.
While nothing has come from the Committee in
charge it is understood that they are sadly disap
pointed at the results SO far and unless something is
done by the people themselves who expect
ed to subscribe and fill their community obligations
for full year-Our first Community Chest is going
to fail
This would be an awful blow to Winslow. More
so than anyone would realize at first thought. 1t
would mean that the people of WinsOw do not realize
just what benefits to be derived from successful
Community Chest program.
1t seems SuperfluOuS to again repeat here that
Community Chest wipes out community Obiga-
Ons-Our debt to charity-at stroke, not only ef-
fectIng big saving in overhead but, to- the people
who must stand the burden of Community charity, it
will mean saving of fully 100 per cent over period
of year. In brief it means that one giving to Com
munity Chest relieves himself of giving for period
OF whole year, saving again as much as ne sub
scribes to the Chest, through elimination of haphaz
ard giving to individual charities and drives" that
occur at different intervals.
Ii WinslOw falls down on this Community Chest
plan it will be black eye Let everyone set aside his
personal petty jealousies and suspicious and get be-
hind this plan. There is no better way than COmmun
ity Chest to handle deserving charities.
Do we people of WnslOw want to be harassed all
year through with this and that demand = for
Red Cross little later for Boy Scouts, again for the
orphans home, for hospitals, and almost every
day for some local charity benefit each carry
ing its overhead do want to dispose of all
this with subscription and overhead, and save
ourselves again much give to Community
Chest?
There seems to be too much of spirit here of let
the other fellow stand the burden but if everyone will
stop and figure how much it costs him each year to
carry the burden of deserving and undeservng char
tiles, there will be trouble in putting Com
munity Chest.
COMMUNITY CHEST MUST NOT FAIL!
