stration of life saving was brought to our attention at Lake Quassa- paug, when one of our Waterbury Girl Scouts rendered prompt, cour- ageous and trained assistance in rescue work.
 All Girl Scouts are potential life savers. They are trained in self discipline, developed in courage and become naturally alert, For these and many other reasons the Girl Scouts deserve, and am confident they will receive, the cordial support that they ask"
 Rev. John 0. Walker: "It is a pleasure to endorse the work of the Girl Scouts and to commend them to the generosity of the community.
 We know from our observation and experience how much they are doing for the girls of Waterbury and we hope that means can be pro- vided for greatly enlarging theil work. Personally am the more ii1. terested in them and the more pleased with their work, because they draw together in fellowship and service girls from 50 many dif- ferent and diverse backgrounds.
 All success to your efforts"

In an effort to obtain a general view of conditions, officers of the three large local factories were called today, but only one man, Rodney Chase of the Chase Brass and Copper Company, could be reached for @ statement early this afternoon.
 The Chase executives remarks bore out the truth of the fact that there have been serious curtailments in work hours per day and work days per week. In regard to impending "lay-offs" at the Chase Company and Its local branches, however, MT. Chase said there had only been a small number to date and that none had been planned.
 Retaining Men
 Tt Is true that we have had to cut down hours and days" said MT. Chase today, but we have spread out the work, so to speak, in this fashion in order to retain as many men as we can until there Is a pick" up in general business conditions,
 John H. Goss of the Scovill CoM- pany, at which plant there have been rumors circulated in regard to the "lay-off" question, was in con- ference today and could not be To- cated. Clark s. Judd of the Ameri- can Brass Company could not De reached either.

96O Acres Cotton
Up And Now Being
Chopped Near Eloy

Looking out over a 960-acre field
of young cotton, and observing
more than fifty choppers busy re-
1ucing it to a stand, was the
privilege of The Examiner last
Tuesday morning.
The crop is owned by w. T. Nc
Kinney, who invited The Examiner
and Boyd Smith of Coolidge, to go
with him to his farm five miles
south of Eloy. The trip of 2S miles
was made in Mr.. McKinney's
Studebaker in less than 25 minutes,
the car on the best stretches of the,
road clipping off 80 miles per hour.
Arriving at the farm The EXamin-
er found Sam Mckinney, son of
w. T. perched on his pinto pony,
Jiggs, for which he refused $3.50
during the rOdeo here April 25,
overseeing the chopping, ably assist
ed by Pat Murphy, who, The FIX
suspects, must be at least
of Irish descent The fifty men
cotton on the Mckinney
farm are making from 50 to $5 per
day, the senior Mckinney stated.
To plant the $50 acres of cotton
! equired fourteen tons of cotton
seed that cost $40 per ton, and to
get the tract ready for planting
cost upwards Of So per acre.
This is the second year the tract
has been under cultivation. Some
of the land last year produced two
bales to the acre, and Mr. Mckinney
figures that he will gather 1,5OO
bales of cotton from the tract next
fall. 1t is irrigated land. There are
three wells on the tract, each 600
teet in depth, and the current toy
propel the motors for the pumps is
bought from the Salt River Valley
Water Users Association.
The rows are half a mile in length.
The cotton is up to a good stand all
over the tract. Mr. Mckinney and
Mr.. Smith, practical farmers, both
stated that they never saw a better
stand.
The whole country around Eloy
is seeded to cotton or will be by the
end of another week.

Funeral For Boy
Who Met A Tragic
Death Held Sunday

Citizens in this community were
shocked early last Saturday morn
ing when word was brought to Coo
iidge that Mack X. Dunnam. two
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. C G..
Dunnam, had met a tragic death at
the family home eight miles south
west of town at 7:15 o'clock that
morning, May 8, inst

The Dunnam family and the casket
bearing the body Of their only son
to Flagstaff, where the Dunnams
resided before coming to Coolidge

Upon their return to Coolidge
Mrs. Dunnam stated to The EX-
aminer that no one really knows

band got into the Union high school
bus to drive into Coolidge to con-
vey some high school boys and girls
to Tempe for some sort of educa-
tional program that little Mack. was
taken into the family home. Mrs
Dunnam said the child evidently
returned to the yard unobserved
Just as the bus was being driven
away and ran into one Of the roar
wheels" Mrs. Dunnam said the bus
wheels did not pass over the body
of the lad. AS soon as it was dis
that the boy had been in
iured his parents brought him to
a doctor in Coolidge, who pro
nounced the boy lifeless upon his
arrival here.
The father Of the lad who met
such an untimely death in such a
tragic manner, has been driving
the Union high school bus for some
time and has a host Of frie IDS
among the students and faculty
whose sympathies go out to him
and his wife and their two daugh-
ters, Betty, 8, and Lora, 7. Besides
