Park Service De-
velops N. NJ. Sands

"Surf- board" riding over break
ers" in the sanddunes; and golf
played with dark-colored balls that
can't be lost on the nine-hOle
white-flaked course, are unique
sports developed at the White
Sands National Monument, near
A1amagordo, New Mexico.
The crystalized gypsum of soft
but glossy smoothness affords an
ideal spot for tipping along, in the
tow of an automobile. There are
thrills, with safety, on the boards
that are similar in design to those
used behind motor-boats.
The golfer has no fear of losing
his ball. The black pellet against
the white sand, looms up like a
beacon, in the distance.
This area, under supervision of
the National Park Service, and
embracing over 175,O0O acres, is
the only one of it's kind in. the
world. The white sands" are
crystalized gypsum, in constant
process of making. Underground
water brings the gypsum to the
surface, in solution. When the
water evaporates, the snow-white
crystals are left. Wind piles these
in rippled dunes, sometimes as
high as 100 feet The entire body,
along a 30-mile front, is moving
toward Alamogordo at the rate of
approximately eight inches year.

BREAK DIRT FOR H.S.
BUILDING NEXT TUESDAY

The important hour for which
the people of Coolidge have been
anxiously awaiting for considerable
time will have arrived next Tues
day when the crowd assemblies on
the high school site to break the
first dirt, with fitting ceremony,
for the new Coolidge Union high
school building, the 4 instruction
of which will be carried on to COM
pletion. Plans for this building
were started less than a year ago,
and application made to the PWA
for funds to carry out the project,
following an election to form the
Coolidge Union high schoo1 dis
trict, which carried overwhelming
iy. When the applications for
PWA projects were approved, the
application for this building was
not approved, tho the district had
voted the required bonds to carry
out the program, to be supplement-
ed by PWA funds. For some time
despairing clouds hung about and
disappointment threatened, but the
hope and persistence of the school
board and others interested, the
interested attitude of some PWA
officials, accompanied by subse-
Quent conditions, the project met
with favorable consideration, and
was finally approved. Then fol-
lowed the drawn out task OF ar
ranging details. Bonds must be
issued and sold; bids advertised
for and contract let ETC., having
to meet all specific requirements
before final approval. All Of this
has been complied with, and now
the signal is "Fullspeedahead."
The dirt-breaking ceremony on
the school ground Tuesday will
take place at 11:00 a. m, and
promises to be an interesting
affair. After the ceremony the
crowd will adjourn to the basement
of the Methodist church where the
banquet table will be awaiting
them. A number of distinguished
guests, who have been invited, are
expected to be present on the oc-
casion with appropriate speeches.
Prominent among those who are
expected are, DR.. o. K. Garretson,
high school inspector of Arizona;
J. w. Clarson, dean of School of
Education of University of Ariz..
Howard Reed, PWA administrator
for Arizona; Orville A. Bell, archi-
tect who made the specifications;
and John ]. Bugg, Pinal county
school superintendent. The Cool
idge Lions club is sponsoring the
banquet.

Mr.. Max Williams,

Mr.. Max Williams,
Editor Coolidge Examiner.
Dear Editor:
AS a man who has travelled
throughout the West in the Capa-
CITY of an auctioneer, newspaper
man, and other lines, | feel 1t
duty as we'll as a pleasure to ex-
press what | believe is the sentl-
ment of the average traveller in be-
half of the best country and the
best town with the greatest future
I have ever yet encountered.
Flashing back over thirty years
of my life and travel, recalling
MANY towns and country I have
seen come up from the raw, (many
of which | have helped to pro-
mote), and taking into considera-
ton the foundation from which
they sprung, l draw a vision just
a few years ahead of a land stud
ded with homes of strict modern
hue, fertile fields of golden grain,
orchard groves and gorgeous gar
dens. Highways such as none
other than Arizona can have, and
in their midst-not town but a
City. throbbing with life such as
cannot be found only in the hlb
of a land so we'll possessed, where
everyday is a life worth while, and
where the spirit of the west is at
it's zenith, the home of contented
hearts and prosperous souls.
This, my dear Editor, is my
mind and vision of the present
and future Coolidge, Pinal County,
] Arizona.
Very truly yours,
Col. E. G. Snider.

ball game Saturday, March 2S

a score of II.
Hayden had a very good infield
but their pitcher didn't seem to
function against our batters. Har-
old Jackson made the only home
run of the afternoon. The Hayden
team couldn't hit off Joe Dobson
the Coolidge pitcher.
Hayden held Coolidge down un
til about the third or fourth inning
when Coolidge opened up and held

vited by the Arizona Republic to
turn time backward half cen
tury" by attending their 18th

day, April Is.
Pioneers have met as guests of
the Republic at a gala get-together
once each year for the past 16
years, except once in recent years

events of the opening day will be
the old time pioneers barbecue al
noon in Riverside park, after a
morning meeting in the Riverside
ball park grandstand.
The second days outstanding
feature will be the gala pioneers
ball. 1t will conclude the reunion
in Shrine auditorium.
The great number Of pioneers
who year by year take advantage
of the Republics invitation to en-
Joy the entertainment-m thar
1000 are expected to attend this
year-precludes the possibility o1
visitors attending except during 6
specified period.
At this time, between 4 and

EVERYTHING SET
ALL-STAR FIGHT
CARD TONIGHT
CONTESTANTS WOUND UP
TRAINING YESTERDAY AFT
ERNOON; PROGRAM WILL
BE HELD AT NAVY FIELD
(By OSCAR PITAl

with all contestants winding
up training yesterday afternoon
the stage is all set for the All
Star boxing match scheduled for
tonight, at the Navy Field Arena.
The boxing card, headed by
Young Flgucredo and Mario San
tana, two of the classiest light
weights to hit this neck O. the
woods i'll many moon, is draw
ing more attention than had been
anticipated.
Both boys, in tip-tOp shape, arc
confident they will win. Figuerc-
10. who has been out of the r,ng
for sometime, is being somewhat
moderated by boxing followers
who claim Santana has better
chance of winning because of his
more activity in the ring during
the year. The local butcher will
find a difficult mark to hit in the
fast moving Santana.
The semi-windUp offers a main
bout in itself. Young Fernandez
and Bobby Waugh are scheduled
to trade punches in this bout
The pair of veterans have not
met before but Waugh always
puts in some complaint against
the decision. Tonight Bobby will
have the opportunity to prove he
is a better fighter than Fernan-
dez.
A bout that will be packed with
excitement and thrills will be that
of Rogelio Vargas and GRASS"
Bradley. Vargas is 4 hard-hitting
boy and this Brass is nobody's
fool, either. He can sock and
sock with plenty steam. Which
one can stand the most punish
ment will be a determined factor
tomorrow.
Young Sharkey, who comes
back to the ring after a lay-off
of several years, will open the
show with a Gix-rounder against
the Tampa Tiger. In his first
comeback attempt the old fight
ing laundryman made good i'm
pressions against Bobby Waugh
but chances are that his hopes will
be shattered when he tangles with
the Tiger. The Tampa lad is a
hsrd-hittin9 aggressive fighter
and that is enc thing that an
noys our old-timer. Sharkey hates
to be crowded or rushed.
The bouts are being staged by
the Recreation Department Of the
WPA, under the supervision of
Glenn C. Price and under the aus
pieces of the American Legion
Post.
The first bout is scheduled for
$50 P. NJ.
