Sunspots And The Weather

THIS Winter so far in many parts of the World has
been the most trying for several years. In Florida
six frosts before the middle of February are it must
be conceded unusual weather. to put it mildly The
North has altenated between torrentia rains sharp
freezes with the thermometer dropping to record
lows, heavy SHOWS and gales on both coasts Europe
has been having much the same experience.
The Weather Bureau at Washington declines to
blame the freaksh weather on sunspots but astron-
omers point out that the past few weeks have been
Ia period of violent magnetic storms the suns sur
face. That sunspots are the cause of the aurora
boreals and of electrical disturbances and manifes-
taions of various kinds in the Earth's atmosphere
scientists have proven concusively 1t seems reason
able therefore, to blame other freaks of the weather
ION them.
There is other topic about which people talk so
much and do so little the weather Sunspots at Nest

Calamity Howlers

NOGALES, unfortunately like all communities has
it's quota of calamity howlers-
Calamity howlers are persons who try to put a
damper community projects If they are not
Fundamentally for or lukewarm toward project,
they maintain ''it can't be done," and they never
lift hand to do their part.
A calamity howler Or pessimist seldom gets very
far in life. booster, optmist, usually makes the
grade.

good enough sport to lay off the knocking 1t costs
nothing to encourage the few persons who usually
are compelled to do most of the work toward making
project success. -

Kangaroo Courts

IF you have watched the Phoenix and Tucson papers
the past couple weeks you we'll aware of the
fun that Phoenicans and Tucsonans have gotten out
Of the kangaroo courts held as prerodeo features in
those cities.
Pictures Of stockades erected in the two towns and
carts, hauling to the kangaroo Judges persons who
failed to dress western for the rodeos appeared in the
papers.
Nogalians visiting Phoenix and Tucson saw thou

towns with the proper kind of community spirt-get-
ting kick out of the fun.
There has been a similar kangaroo court in No
gales prior to the Frontier Fiesta here each year for
the past two years. That court and the kangaroo cops
provided lot of amusement. True some persons who
didn't like it, were fined, but did those fines hurt
much? We don't think so. Most persons who objected
to such things usually object anyhow to everything
list should be kept of all persons opposed to the
kangaroo court, then have the kangaroo cops forget
those individuals and refrain from shaking them
down for nickel, dime, or whatever the amount of
the fine.

Community Spirit

WHAT community spirit will do for Nogales and
F" other towns is shown by the following editorial
appearing in the Arizona Republic while the annual
rodeo was under way at Phoenix few days ago:
"Shortly before leaving Phoenix yesterday after
conducting campaign here, Capt. "Gipsy' Pat
Smith, evangelist lecturer, and world traveller, prais
ed Phoenix for it's excellent community spirit lie
cited the Championship Rodeo as example Of the
wonderful community spirit which exists in the city,
and the willingness Of the citizens to join in making
the event success.
"Captain Smith declared that one Of the most Won
derful things in the United States the community
spirit which exists everywhere and which, he sald
he believed was more predominant in Phoenix than
in any other American city in which he had been. He
said many other nice things about Phoenix, but it is
of this community spirit in relation to the rodeo OF
(which we write.
"The rodeo is being held under the auspices of the
Phoenix Junior Chamber of Commerce, organiza-
tion of the younger businessmen of this city, which
we believe is without peer in the nation for its
thusasm and it's civic spirit The accomplishments of
this body OF young men are too numerous to outline
It's projects many though we believe the rodeo is
one OF its latest acquisitions.

The all-inclusiveness of the

Gordon said, will extend from the

run under streets and connect
with homes. Some of these streets
are without water and ungraded,
he said, and the Water and High
ways departments will have to
work with his office jointly in this
phase of the project.
Service sewers are to be con-
structed as WPA projects with
Federal money for labor and mu-
nicipal funds for materials. The
