Mrs. Harry O'Neil has a deluge of
birthdays in her family this month
and as a result gave two birthday
parties this week, with others to fol-
low. The first one this week was
that of her son Clarence who cele-
brated his twelfth birthday by allow
ing his friends to come in and COM
pletely surprise him Wednesday eve
ming. His mother probably was in
on the secret but the surprise did not
keep the crowd from having a Won
derful evening. Those who did JUS
tice to the entire affair were: Ruth
Marshall, Ina and Georgia Harris, G.
L. Cochran, Leslie Perkins Robert
Jones, Robert and Richard Dillon,
Lester McCormac and Aisle, Marfiaret
Harry and Walter O'Neil. The next
party on the list was that for little
six year old Margaret who asked in
her friends from to Friday after
noon. Those who enjoyed this party
were Bobby Seabridge, Bobby Wilson,
Lindel, Jack Brown, and Elsie O'Neil.
For the first time in several weeks
the fire department was called out
shortly after noon Wednesday to ex-
tinguish a blaze in the roof of the
house on eastern end of Railroad
Avenue. The fire was supposed to
have caught from q spark falling on
/ the roof No damage was done. The
property was owned by Mrs. Jessie
Quijada. m
Mr.. and Mrs. E. r. Byers and
daughter Ruth Lea left Early Satur-
| day morning for Phoenix, from where
they visited the pageant at the Casa
| Grande Sunday and visited the state
| fair on Monday, returning to their
home on Tuesday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin left Friday
for Phoenix where they will remain
Tor about ten days on business and
pleasure combined. They were ac-
companied on the trip by Mrs. Sid
Terry who will visit for few days
| with her niece, Miss Agnes Britton
who is attending the Gregg business
college in Phoenix.
Mrs Marquis, recently from the
Grand Canyon, and formerly from

Thursdays Rotary meeting was
unique in the fact that two men of the
club were picked as Jews and asked
| to proceed with the program, one
man seemed to be selected from the
community at large to join the ranks
of Jews. However the joke was car
ried out the men proceeded to deliver
| most decidedly interesting PROGRAM
for the day. Mike Duffy was chair
man of the program and called on
| Alfred Skeels for the discussion on
sWhat the paving Of the Highway 66
and the Grand Canyon approach road
will eventually mean to Williams. In
/, a brief summary Mr.. Skeels said that
there would first of all be an increase
of Is to of travel on the Old Trails
route when Sc is paved from coast
to coast and the travel on the Old
Trails route would be doubled once
the Canyon approach road is paved.
He added that Williams must prepare
itself for this influx of population
various ways and gave few sugges-
/, tons along that subject before the
next speaker, w. B. Dillon was called
upon. Mr.. Dillon comes from the
| forest service office and surprised
his friends greatly in his talk on
aviation when he said that aviation
/ Was .HOtillli6 HSWt Iii1C ~ uoeCo DdSh
to Adam and Eve and told how Eve
ate of the forbidden fruit and in
reaching for it she jumped in the air
to get it and after she got it she put
Adam in the air and has kept him
there ever since. Thus making his
point that Eve was the first aviator.
President Kimball made a number of
announcements among them being

18th. Visitors for the day were M.
J. Pilkington and ]. A. Stallings of
Flagstaff and W. B. Dillon of the
