N. A. HOME ECONOMICS
FOLK HERE LAST WEEK


Representatives of the home econ
onlics vocational work in the northern
part Of the state met in a district
conference Friday and SATURDAY. at
the Flagstaff high school. The meet
iferences in Arizona, the Others being
held at Phoenix, Stafford and Bisbee.
The Flagstaff seasonal meetings as
conducted by Miss Ruby T. Coffin,
state supervisor Of home economics
vocational work for Arizona, proved
to be worth while and interesting.
The discussions were in the nature of
follow-up work from the state con-
vention in Phoenix last November,
and there was much interest shown in
the progress and reports Of work
done in the various schools since that
time.
The work Of the home economics
department of our local high school,
llndef the supervision Of Miss Gladys
Culver, was praised by the state sup
lsrvisor as ranking high in compari-
son with the various schools of the
state. Much credit is due to the
splendid equipment and working condi-
lions supplied in the new high school
building, as well as to the interest and
personnel Of the home economics
classes.
Girls of the home economics classes
acted as hostesses in making prepara-
i;ons for the conference. In addition

S. Kimball of Stafford, Representative
M. F. Murphy of Globe, H. S. McClus-

own cars, Bill Conley and Earl Sisk
went with their cars to help in trans
portation, as did truck of the Light
ming Delivery Co.
It was believed that the party would
get back to Flagstaff last night. It
is certain that those who belong to
the legislature will return for the
opening, on Monday, of the adjourned
session.
The visit of the commission to the
canyon dam sites in this county, 1t IS
announced by members of the commits
sion, will line up first hand over
whelming proof that from an econom-
ical and every other standpoint dam
ming of the Colorado river should be-
gin upstream, at either Glen or Mar
BILE Canyon, instead Of downstream at
Boulder Canyon, as the California and
Nevada proponents of the SWING
johnson bill insist.
The commission members returned
to Flagstaff Tuesday night, all but
Mr.. McCluskey going on to Phoenix
that night and the latter remaining
until next morning.
Mr.. McCluskey said both the Glen
Canyon site and another in Marble
Canyon mile west and down the river
from the site of the new Colorado riv-
er bridge were visited.
To transport materials to the Glen
Canyon site, Mr.. McCluskey said,
would involve widening the dugway,
ferrying them across, then taking
them east across the Paria river and
up big grade to the top of the mesa.

FIREMEN WILL GIVE
THEIR FIRST ANNUAL
DANCE MONDAY NIGHT

It's going to be d hot time for this
town Monday night if it has q fire
and the reason Is that the firmen are
going to be in attendance at their
first annual dance.
OF course, fate couldn't be so cruel
as to tear the boys away from their
social duties, and so the whole gang
are looking eagerly forward to a
whale of time entertaining the
citizenry who attend the Easter dance
at the Elks ballroom.
We don't know just where to place
the blame for this lack Of attention to
our fire hazards, but Claude Phelan is
general chairman, and it's the chair
man who is usually instigator. But
Regardless, let's dance! Music is
going to. be furnished by that we'll
known orchestra of Doc Williams and
tit is going to outdo itself in giving
everyone d real time.
And, boys, that isn't all. A splendid
program of speciality numbers is being
arranged by the committee and while
they refuse to divulge just what, they
give out the information that they are
going to be different" Favors and
punch will also be part of the enter
tainment.
The whyfor Of this fireman's "hop"
Is TO buy chemical outfit for the
small fire truck. At present the only
utility Of that unit Is Q hose carrier.
nr'hs boys want To make ii more rse-
Tgl and It will cost IN the nsighbor-
| hood Of $500. At a dollar and half
ticket, it is going to take about
800 pasteboards to cover the expense
Of the dance and get that new equip
ment. And if the boys say they need
the equipment, why they just natural
| " have got. to have it. Let's go and
show our appreciation for what the
fire laddies are doing for the town
And, Oh, yes, this is to be an an
nual affair hereafter, according to
information from headquarters.

 The structure was begun as a courthouse in 1872. but when Cory - don was chosen as the territorial capital the building was made the seat of government. A general as Sembly met in the cdifice and peti- toned congress for statehood in 1915, and the oath was given there to Governor Jennings. first state executive. in 1916.
 Indianapolis was made the capita in 1925. and ever since the old statehouse has been the courthouse of Harrison county. William Henry Harrison, appointed terri torial governor of Indiana in 1900 when the capital was at Vincennes. bought land here and named the town of Corydon Harrison county was named for him.
