TRIOOF LOST
BABIES CAUSE
SEARCH

Police and deputy sheriffs spent an
exciting 80 minutes on Thursday
afternoon when woman called the
station frantically to inform them
that her three babies were lost. The
call came from l4th street and the
babies were described as four three
and two years of age respectively.
There happened to be several Of
ficers in the station at the time and
with visions Of kidnappers or reck-
less drivers in mind they all hurried
out to the district in which the
kiddies had last been seen.
Just after they had all gone the
woman called the desk sergeant to
say that the children had returned

right. More time was spent in re-
calling the searchers than in search

them in by the dozens. according to
the local secretary While he was at
the club rooms, he says, there were
between dozen and 20 tourists from
various states and they were having
a great visit among themselves.
The Sunshine Climate club form
erly was associated with the Tucson
Chamber of Commerce but the actlv-
tiles of both had grown to such pro-
portions that their quarters were
sadly overcrowded and the secretary
of the Climate club looked about
for better accommodations. He Sc
lected room of large proportions
and plenty of plate glass front and
got a lease on it. Then he started
to make it attractive to visitors.
The place is given a real honey
atmosphere with easy chairs and
ample space for guests. There is
also writing desks and material for
the strangers to sit down while they
are there and pen a word back to
the homefolks.
Tucson is doing a great work in
broadcasting the Arizona climate and
other advantages of our state" said
Secretary Doubleday. "It was a
real pleasure to witness the good
work and to see the excellent quar-

CHICKEN TRIES !
TO STEAL RIDE
BUT is CAUGHT

"''Lady are you going to take that
chicken to Aqua Prieta?" This was
the question customs officer asked a
lady driving big car who started to
cross the border to Aqua Prieta short
ly before midnight Thursday night.
The lady relates that she thought
the officer had lost his mind until he
courteously explained that there Iwas
a fat white hen sitting composedly on
the bumper Of her car. She alighted
and removed the chicken which the
customs inspector kindly agreed to
keep for her until she returned.
The rest of the story is that the
woman lives on poultry ranch north
of Douglas, that her husband works
in Aqua Prieta and gets off shift at
midnight The hen is accounted for
in that she had probably decided at
dusk that the bumper of the car would
make a comfortable roost and roasted
persistently when the car was put in
motion The lady relates that she
stopped in Douglas at restaurant for
some time before driving south but
no one apparently had spied the
chicken until the customs officer in
spected the car.

headquarters for its activity. 1t may
interest Douglas to know that Tucson
has indicated a friendly interest in
our section by asking that we furnish
them with photographs of some OF
our most attractive scenic sections
and that I have arranged TO send
them a group Of nine as fine views
as can be gotten anywhere. These
will be suitably framed with legends
on each photograph and, in my
humble opinion, they will make a
creditable showing in the collection
that will be on view at the Sunshine
Climate clubs headquarters. would
suggest that any ct the Douglas
people who visit in Tucson would do
well to cultivate this friendly interest
by stepping into the club rooms and
making themselves known to the sec.
retary. He gives his entire time to
making visitors feel welcome and one
will not regret the call made there"

CHILDREN PLEASE
PARENTS MOST BY
GIFT OF OWN MAKE

A Christmas gift Ior mother or
father is the only hard thing about
Christmas for a little child. The pro-
'cedure of buying a gift for its par
ents is the most solemn occasion IN
all the world.
Children as rule have very little
money and are reticent about asking
parents for money to buy gifts for
them. s ~.
A census of many of the parents
in Douglas to see just what they
would like best of all from their
children brought almost without eX-
ception the same answer something
made with the child's own hands.
Several parents of three or four
children cited examples of gifts they
had gotten at Christmas time that
were dearest to them, not for its
value buC for the significance. Among
the examples were water color pic
lures framed with cardboard, wooden
broom holder made in manuel train.
ing, blue painted tomato can (for
flowers), a cardboard handkerchief
holder decorated with crayon and
numerous other articles of handcraft
easily made in school,
Asked why they liked these gifts
better than something worth more
money the mothers and fathers of
Douglas said that it represented the
child's own effort and so had a
value beyond that of money. III
According to complete census of
the opinions of parents in Douglas
no, child need be at a loss for a
gift that will be valued by the older
folks. ac @
One mother stated that she cared
hot at all for candy, perfume and
flowers which are oSten the first
.croice of children who love such
things and that the best thing she
liked about her children's gifts was
the surprise part of it. She pointed
out that even now her three children
hold whispered consultations in the
workshop in the rear of their home
and that December 25 will see them
depositing bulky bundles in front
of her.
