Thousands Back To
Work On PWA

Although the dead-line for start
ing projects under the 1888 Public
Works Administration program is
still fifty days away, approximate
" 81, 500 men already have been
put back on paying jobs as re-
suit of more than 81 percent OF
the new construction being under
way thus early in this region.
According to a statement, issued
today by j. w. Bournier, Acting
Regional Director, about 5000
formerly unemployed workers have
been re-employed on the sites of
the various PWA projects now be-
ing constructed in California, Ari-
IONA. Utah and Nevada, compos-
ing this Far Wester region.
Sine it has been established Of
ficially that for each man hour of
work provided on project site,
21b hours of such work is neces-
sary in the production of materials
and transportation of them, this
means jobs have been created for
22.5O0 additional men.
There were about 1000 men at
work on PWA projects in Califor-
MA alone today. AS a large share
Of the materials being used in this
construction is produced in this
state. it was estimated this meant
that the ranks of the states un-
employed had been REDUCED by
nearly $4,000 by the current Public
Works Administrator drive for re-
covery.
In Arizona there are 1900 men
at work on new PWA projects. In

Benefit Payments
Less in Pinal County

PHOENIX, Nov. 7-Better bust
ness conditions for Pinal county
during October were reflected by
a 40 per cent drop in job insurance
benefit payments for the county, ii
was reported here today by stat
isticians of the Arizona Unemploy
ment Compensation commission.
The total amount of unemploy
ment benefit paid in the county
last month was $S,253 compared
with the September total of $13,.
$50 Benefit payments throughout
the state declined 4 per cent dur
ing October, totalling $160,618,
During September the sum OF
$167,516 was paid from the unem-
ployed benefit fund.
F. H. Stapleton, commission ex'
ecutive director, stated that bene-
fit claims are slowly declining,
while improved business conditions
are acting to build the unemploy-
ment benefit fund back to the
level attained at the beginning OF
1898.
The Arizona fund for paying job
insurance benefits stood at $685.
549.30 at the close of business Oct
ober 81, he stated. Increased by
employers contributions for the
preceding three months, the fund
on that date showed a distinct rise
from the total of $1,S37,9 1924 at
the end of September.
Statisticians estimated that ad-
ditional collections for the third
calendar quarter of the year would
bring the fund to the two-million-
dollar mark, approximately even
with the total in January, 1888,
before payments were begun.

Another Pioneer
Retiring

The Coolidge buying public, as
we'll as the citizens of Pinal coun-
v in general, have reasons to re-
ret the unexpected recent news
If the selling of the Hamilton
Lumber Company to the O'Mal1ev
lumber Company, a state wide Or
TanizatiOn with headquarters in
phOenix, not that the people Of
his town and county will not
welcome this substantial firm to
ioin our progressive business con-
oorns, but the regret enters in the
fact that we are to lose one of
he most respected and substantial
business men in P. w. Hamilton
from the business life of Coolidge.
The Hamilton Lumber Company
IS the oldest concern to enter that
field in Coolidge, having establish
"a the business in October 1927.
p w, as he is familiarly known to
his host of friends, entered into
the business as well as the social
and civic life of Coolidge at a
period when the spirit of real pio-
neering was the ruling factor. Mr..
Hamilton won and maintained the
confidence and respect Of the
public from the very beginning.
Mr.. Hamilton's retirement from
the business life of Coolidge leaves
a decided vacancy and his many
friends and acquaintances wish
him we'll deserved rest, also a
prosperous future for his worthy
successors.

For it is dedicated to our noble

Baha'i Assembly
Hold Services Here

The Phoenix Bahai Assembly
held the first of a series of public
meetings at the Coolidge Woman S
Club building on Sunday, Novemb-
er 9Th. Mr.. Edward Ruppers, cha
irman of the afternoon opened the
meeting with a brief statement
of the objects of the Baha'i Faith
and presented the following pro-
gram:
Vocal solo "The Lord is Mindful
of His own" Paul A. Schoeny.
Accompanist, Clarence Iverson.
History and Principles of the
Baha'i fairth" was given by Lois
Humphrey, a member of the Phoe-
nix group who said in part "The
Cause of Baha'u'llah is the same
as the Cause of Christ. 1t is the
same temple, the same foundation.
Both of these are spiritual springs
and the seasons of soul-refreshing
awakening and the cause of the
renovation of the life of mankind" F"
Reality is not divisible; it does
not admit multiplicity. All the holy
Manifestations Of God have pro-
claimed and promulgated the same
reality. They have summoned man
kind to reality itself and reality is
one. The clouds and mists of i'm
itations have obscured the Sun of
Truth"
In his discourse upon "The Crea-
tive Word of God" Clinton H.
Bugbee called attention to the
scriptures of the Great Religions
of the world recording the teach
ings of those prophetic founders
such as Moses, Buddha, Moham-
med and Christ whose word has
been accepted by millions OF
adherents as infallible and that, II
so. must have been of Divine orr
gin as no word is infallible save
the Word of God, the prophet be-
ing the human mouthplece to
convey the great message to hui
manity. The words of these great
prophets regenerated the lives OF
those who accepted them thus
proving their creative value. Ba-
hal is believe Baha'p'llah to be the
prophet Of this day and age.
Mrs. Zahrah Schoeny in speaking
on "The Goal of a New World
Order" enumerted the various
kinds of unity to be established in
the world under the new order as
including language, religions, rae
es. nations and mankind in gen
eral thus laying the foundation for
the establishment of Universal
Peace, by the elimination of pre-
judices. In closing she quoted
Shoghi Effendi, recognized head
of the Baha'i faith as follows: 'Tt
is toward this goal, the Goal of a
New World Order, divine in origin,
all-emhra cling in scOpe. equitable
in principle, challenging in its
features-that a harassed humani-
ty must strive"
The meeting was closed with a
vocal solo, "Benediction," written
by Shahnaz Waite.
