VOCATIONAL
AGRICULTURE
BY ROBERT M. SPRINGFIELD
Vocational Agriculture Teacher

Vocational Agriculture is grow
ing. Coolidge Union high school,
in inaugurating new department
Vocational Agriculture, is keeping
step with modern agriculture educa-
ton.
For the school year 1936-37, 1000
to 1850 boys in Arizona availed
themselves of the opportunity to
secure vocational training in Agri-
culture Next year boys of Coo
lidge Union high school will have
this same opportunity.
The Future Farmers of America
is an important organization with
in the Agricultural department.
This is the name given to the ma
tional organization of farm boys
studying vocational agriculture in
the public high schools throughout
the United States.
Each local chapter is a part of a
state and National organization of
similar groups of vocational agri-
culture students.
The Future Farmers of America
is a non-profit corporation. Boys
often have a tendency to organize
into gangs" or groups. The Future
Farmers of America recognizes and
makes use of this tendency and
puts enthusiasm and pleasure into
work and recreation.
The boys in Coolidge will have
their local chapter. Everything pos
sible will be done to make it a
well organized club.
Regular monthly meetings will be
held, and the boys will be taught
to conduct their own meetings and
to do things in an organized way.
A program of activities will be
featured for the year. This pro-
gram will be designed for both
pleasure and profit.
One worker in in the United
States is a farmer. There is more
money invested in agriculture than
in our great manufacturing in
dustries and transportation systems
combined.
When the roosters start Growing
before daybreak on the farms of
the United States, they blow the
factory whistles for the creates.
industry of the world.
In the farm youth of today lies
the farmer of tomorrow in his
hands lies the future of this great
basic industry.

ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
By BOB MARKLEY

1t Is considered the plus-ultra in
opportunities when one can take
advantage of the famous education
al facilities of Washington, D. C.
Thousands of people are here sole
ly to absorb the culture generally
supposed to pervade the atmos-
phere at the Nations Capital. It
is almost unbelievable, but nearly
all are studyin law in the score or
more of schools specializing in the
teaching of that subject.
A great number of these students
are politically minded, for without
politics they would not have had
the opportunity to be here They
are living for the day when they
can return home with a distinct ad-
vantage over their less fortunate
neighbors. They will be armed with
diplomas and high-sounding phases
that fit nicely into stump speeches
and argumentative outbursts.
In argument the law student goes
the limit He will argue on either
side of any subject. 1t will be part
of his future work, so he takes the
opposition as a matter of course. It
will make him more efficient, per-
haps, but certainly it does noL
make him a more interesting COM
panion in conversation. He develops
an artificial manner and his keen
desire for polish and silvery
tongue rubs out his individualities.
He dumps out great mouthfuls Of
enormous words in discussing tue
simplest things.
The really interesting people in
Washington are those who come to
see the interesting people. They
are so enthralled by it all that they
forget themselves, (bless them
and are completely natural. They
do not care for statutes and legis-
lation: they come to see legislators
and statues.

TO THE PUBLIC:

There is common feeling among
a large part of the people that evil
is folly rather than a force"
and should be looked upon with
federation. However, with moro
mature judgement, evil is seen as
a very definite force tending to
destroy all that we hold up as good
and desirable. This is infinitely
true in the case of Gambling" >"
Recognized as a major evil for
centuries, legislated against by the
state and generally despised by
decent people, gambling, in all of
its forms, is not folly to be smil-
ed upon, but a desperate force
working against constituted gov
ernment, law and order and
general decency. No one is willing
to be known as an anarchist, but
a person, or persons who carry on
gambling activities, and persons
who permit such activities to exist
in defiance to law, whether they
recognize the fact or not, have to
be included in that class. The re-
admission of the "Slot Machine"
into Coolidge after an absence Of
seven months, and re-admitted
against the will of the majority of
the mature population of our city,
calls for concerted action on the
part of law-abiding citizens. What
difference does it make if other
cities have licensed gambling in
open defiance of state law? We
have our children to rear and We
prefer to have them reared in a
law-abiding community. Can We
count upon constituted authority
or will decency have to rise in its
wrath and Indignation to compel
the imposition of majority rule?
GLENN E. SMILEY.

Frolic, Frivolity To
Mark Buckeye'
Annual Celebration

They won't roll up the sidewalks
nor will they turn off the lights
in Buckeye during the annual 'Dias
Viejos' celebration in Buckeye
which officially opens on Novem-
Der 18th and closes on the 21st
four days later with the crowning
of a Cotton Queen.
Promoted by the Buckeye Cham
ber of Commerce Los Dias Viejos'
annual HelZapopin celebration, Is
the most unique celebration of its
kind in the country. Public spirited
citizens donate every necessary
service. No salaries are paid and
not ont five cent piece is taken
from the proceeds for administra-
tive purposes. All funds realized
during the show which was attend
ed last year by more than 10000
visitors, make up the community
chest of this west Maricopa city.
Situated as it is in the center of
the richest cotton growing district
in the United States Buckeye is
known as the little capital of the
cotton world and it's citizens be-
lieve that it is no more than fitting
that four days be set aside each
year to celebrate the bumper cot
ton crop which averages nearly
two bales to the acre from adjac-
ent lands. Dias Viejos, HelZapopin
celebration, comes at the height of
the cotton picking season this year.
Whiskers, chin, lip side and all
around the face are the order OF
the day as more than 500 men folk
of Buckeye valley are combing and
petting facial hirsute adornments
to compete for one of the grand
prizes of the show. Van Dykes,
goatees, and sideburns are to be
seen in profusion and there are a
couple of sets of just plain whisk'
ers that are combed sidewise la
Ham Lewis.
During the four days of Helzapo,
pin stores in the business district
of Buckeye take on strange sound
ing names of an earlier day when
Arizona was the frontier of young
nation. There will be found the
Bucket of Blood, Ptomaine Tom
my's, Greasy Spoon, Red Gulch
Merchantile Company, and many
similar titles with the spicy flavor
of the old west.

RoNoUNCED SUCCESS

A Halloween masquerade dance
sponsored by the Coolidge Chapter
or the Future Farmers of America
was held Friday night October 29.
after the grid game with Casa
Grande in the High school gym
nasium. The gym was decorated
by beautiful canopy of black and
orange crepe paper stretched
across the top of the room. An
atmosphere of Autumn was broght
by corn fence and hygeria
bundles along the sides. Bales Of
hay were placed at various points.
Refreshments were sold in the hall
by the refreshment committee.
Various types of costumes were
presented and a prize of a box of
candy was given for the best
costume and also one for the
best waltz.
Mrs. Whitlows orchestra of Flor
ence supplied music for the oc-
casion. Everyone present praised
the dance highly and the FLA club
made soma money to help defray
their various expenses so it may
be said that the affair was a sue
cess both socially and financially.

Dodge Truck Arrives
In Alaska; Ready To
B | az e First Trail

Word has just been received of
the arrival in Ketchikan, Alaska,
of the Dodge truck which will start
in a few days on the first trip ever
attempted by motor vehicle from
that country in the far north to
the United States, with New York
City as the destination. This was
announced today by Mr.. Moag,
head of H. r. Moag Motor Co local
Dodge dealer.
Threats of early SHOWS in certain
mountainous regions along the
route loom as retarding factors, it
is reported, but such conditions
have been anticipated by Dodge
officials who planned the event at
this time of the year when weather
conditions are less favorable than
earlier in the season in order to
provide natural obstacles for the
truck Blankets, warm clothing and
a seven-day supply of food have
been taken along.
The truck will haul a capacity
load of potatoes that are products
of the Matanuska farm colony in
Alaska. Upon reaching principal
cities along tn eroute in the United
States, the trucks will stop briefly
for presentation of gifts and good
will greetings from the land of the
midnight sun to the secretary of
the chamber of commerce and the
mayor of the city.
Distance between Ketchikan and
New York City is approximately
400 miles. Part ofathe route pass
es through some of the widest
regions of North America.
The truck will climb the long as
cent to the top of the great
divide" of the Canadian Rockies
and then continue on mountain
roads in that region for distance
of approximately 400 miles. British
Columbia towns in the distant
north through which the truck will
pass will include Port Simpson,
Prince Rupert, Kitwanga, Terrace,
Hazelton, Prince George, Quesnel,
$50 Mile House, 100 Mile House, 70
Mile House, Soda Creek and Spen-
ces Bridge. Next leg of the jour
ney will be from this last city over
the long route into Vancouver.
Driver of the truck win be albert
Radero, the famed safety driver
who last year drove the Dodge
three-nation truck from Mexico City
to Ottawa, Canada.
Dodge officials estimate that the
entire trip from Alaska to New
York City will require approximate
ly 13 days and that the actual
travelling time should not be more
than 130 hours.
The truck used on this unusual
trip is standard 1897 Dodge one
and one-half ton stake model, the
same type of unit that has been
manufactured and sold to thous-
ands of users everywhere.
