Red Cross Sponsors
Swimming School

Mr.. Earl Hicks, chairman of the
Coolidge Red Cross, informs us
that a swimming school will be
sponsored by the Red Cross. In
previous years there was a school
at Casa Grande and Florence but
this will be the only one conduct
ed in Pinal County this year. This
will be something new for the chill
dren of Coolidge and since the
Red Cross is going to considerable
time and expense in offering this
course to the children it is hoped
that they will all take advantage
of it. The course will contain
everything from the beginning up
to an advance course in life saw
ing instructions. This is a real
break for the boy scouts and they
should take advantage Of this
course that will teach them all
there is to know about swimming.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Smith, have
very kindly donated the use of the
Waikiki Inn pool to the Red Cross
for this course. For the information
of the parents this pool is extreme
ly sanitary, rigid health require
ments being maintained since the
opening of the pool a year ago.
Every child entering this school
must have a health certificate
signed by local physician. All
the doctors in Coolidge have Of
fered their services to the extent
of giving free health examinations
and certificates to all children. The
place of registration and time the
course will be given will be an
nounced later. Those desiring
further information may call Mr..
Earl Hicks.

Grammar School
Building Receives Of.
ficial Stamp of
Approval

Wesley Kirby was informed this
week that the Grammar School
building has been o. KID in Wash
ington and as soon as the Phoenix
office receives the confirmation
work should commence Immediate
ly. According to the blue prints
shown to us by Mr.. Kirby yester-
day the building is designed to
give the maximum in efficiency
All angles have been considered
in the designing the building es-
pecially in considering the childs
health and in furnishing we'll light
ed class rooms, so much so that
the architect says that block just
south of the Hi-School Grocery
and will set far enough back from
the highway so that the noise and
hum of the traffic will not inter
fere with the class room work. Mr.
Kirby is at present busy beautify-
ing the grounds of the old Gram
mar School and is having cement
walks built around the building, a
much needed improvement from
the dirt carried in by the children
can be reduced to a minimum.

A. S. M. Q. Seek
New Bill

The Phoenix Council of the All
zona Small Mine Operators Associa-
ton is sponsoring a new type of
bill to provide for exemption from
assessment work on unpatentod
mining claims. The bill has been
drawn up as a substitute for the
assessment moratorium law which
has been in effect for a number
of years, but which Congress fail
ed to approve for the current year.
The bill, which is being sponsor
ed by Representative John R. Muir
dock would exempt an owner of
unpatented mining claims from
assessment work provided that he
has spent at least $500 on work
and improvements for each claim
he holds, and further provided that
he is entitled to exemption from
payment of a federal income tax.
The committee of the Phoenix
Council working on this subject is
headed by Harry j. Valentine and
has presented a number of strong
arguments supporting the proposed
law. Among them was the asser-
ton that the government has been
willing to grant absolute title to
mining claims by issuing patents
when $500 worth of work has been
done. Valentine stated that there
are many small mine operators
who might qualify for patents on
their claims, but who have not
patented them because attorney
fees and surveying are prohibitive.
Communication regarding the
proposed bill have been sent to all
councils of the Arizona Small Mine
Operators Association.

Coolidge Boosters
Play Phoenix Team
Here Friday Night

The Coolidge Boosters will play
the fast soft ball team from Phoe-
nix Friday night representing the
Arizona Sash and Door Co. The
field has been equipped with a
meter and lighting facilities and
in addition the San Carlos Theatre
Sound Truck will be onhand so that
everyone will be able to hear just
what is taking place. All Coolidge
should turn out and support the
boys who aspire to win the league
championship. This is not league
game Friday night but the boys are
playing as many games as possible
before the opening of the season
on July 1st. Last Thursday they
defeated the Casa Grande team 10
to and Sunday night played
Globe in an exciting game which
was won by Globe to 8. The home
team was some what handicapped
however due to the fact that they
were forced to play with an
unseamed ball which is about u
of an ounce heavier than the Off
cial ball and also because of a
rule enforced not permitting steal
ing home. Davis was credited with
7 strike outs, walked 2 and allow
ed 5 hits. Remember the game Fri
day night.

Chamber of Com
merce Elect
New Officers

At the Chamber of Commerce
meeting Tuesday night Kenyon
Harris was elected President to
fill the vacancy left by Mr.
Ketchersid's resignation to accept
his new position at Prescott. Mr..
Fl. R. Moag was elected vice presi-
dent to fill the vacancy left by Ben
Jarratt when he took over his new
dlties at Miami. 1t was decided
that the Chamber of Commerce
would sponsor u. s. Highway SO
Association, with headquarters in
Kingman, and get an organization
of this association here. This is
Transcontinental highway link
ing Canada and Mexico and
shortens. by 100 miles, the trip to
Boulder Dam. A report was given
on the fire department to the ef-
feet that il would be delayed
several months. 1t will be necs-
sary to get registration of the
tax payers in the proposed fire
district and then get a petition OF
81 per cent of the tax payers which
will be presented to the Board of
Supervisors for their approval. A
srscial election would then be
called for a vote as to whether the
tax payers wanted fire depart
ment. It was pointed out that the
reduction in insurance rates would
greatly offset the few mills that
would be levied in order to have
adequate fire protection.

Vah-Ki Inn Pool
Popular Haunt

With the thermometer lowering
around 107, Coolidge can be thank
ful that they have one spot that
is an inviting and cool as any they
could wish for and that is the
swimming pool out at Waikiki Inn.
A large number seeking relief
from the heat have found their
way out to the cool clean water
TO enjoy a refreshing swim, judg-
ing from the swimming parties that
have been given at the Inn the
past few weeks. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith who own the Waikiki Inn see
70 il that the water in the pool is
always clean and fresh, which
makes it one of the finest places
to swim that a person wish for.
The shaded patio to the right OF
the pool is an ideal place to enjoy
these lazy hot afternoons. The pool
is we'll lighted at night so that
those who do not wish to leave the
vicinity of their cooler until the
sun beats retreat can still be
able to make use of its cooling
facilities. Refreshments in the
form of soft drinks are available
so all in all this is one spot we
are sure everyone will enjoy. With
a long hot summer looking US in
the face it seems to us that swim
ming parties are the only form OF
entertainment that will bein vogue
for the next few months.

Coupled directly with Prescott's
52-year old rodeo celebration -
Frontier Days-the gigantic-scale
spectacle will show highlighted
history of the city's growth from

The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

Business in the U. S., it sure has
a strong constitution, and instead
of being dead and buried, as you
might expect, from taking every
concoction that anybody ccould
think up, it still totters around.
And every day, business, it has
been on the operating table. And
they have taken out or re-designed
its whole inwards. And how 1t has
kept on functioning, will go down
in history as the eighth wonder of
the world.
from ocean to ocean they have
administered castor oil, hot baths.
cold baths. and used the stomach
pump. And every time business
showed a flutter of the eye-lid, they
operated again-with, and without
Grasshoppers, they may be
problem in certain places; boil
weevils in other Places; plump
ladies in sailors pants in others.
But our chief problem and menace,
it is this new crop of Economists
and they been living on the fat
of the land.
But the rest of us-our belt, it
still goes around times.
Yours, with the low down

FAIRBANKS MINERS OPPOSE
AFFILIATION OUTSIDE UNIONS

FAIRBANKS = Adoption of re-
solutions opposing the formation in
Interior Alaska of any unions that
would be affiliated with labor or
CARNATIONS in the States, and an
nouncement of plans for a local
union of mine and mill workers that
would be independent were the out
standing aspects Of a mass meeting

The gathering, including numer-
GUS women, taxed the capacity of
the hall, every seat down stairs and
in the galleries being occupied.
At least 200 persons were crowd
ed into the standing room space In
the rear. Many could not gain en-
trance at all.
The resolutions which were pre-
sented by Dawson Cooper, who is
cashier of the Independent Lumber
Company, and was chairman Of the
meeting, were adopted viva voce,
without a dissenting vote just be-
fore the meeting closed. They were
signed by hundreds of persons al

1t is said that with the signing of
these contracts, white fishermen
may be employed by the two can
neries only ON an associate member
ship permit, issued by the proper
officers of the Indian organization.
A. R. Brueger and W. T Hale, To-
cal packers, are expected to return

lieyed they will bring word of sew
eral developments in the Wrangell

the meeting to be held by the local

will possibly decide whether that
plant would open for the early sock
eye run on the river.
Trap Curtailment
The trap curtailment program
adopted by the ASPSU has small eff
feet in the Wrangell district except
for the Diamond K Packing Co.
which has traps listed for elimina-
ton. 1t Is believed by union mem
BeFs that this is the factor which
will determine whether the Diamond
X will operate this season. Neither
the ARB Packing Company nor the
Wrangell Packing Company are af-
fected by the trap elimination pro-
gram as neither companies are trap
owners at sites marked for elimin-
alton.
Should the Diamond K attempt,
however to operate those traps listed
on the curtailment list, it is expect
ed that the ASPSU and affiliates will
proceed to adopt the picketing pol
icy adopted by the fishermen in
Ketchikan.

Additional Equipment Provided
For Two Fairgrounds

son, president of the Civic Club,
action was taken that will result in
additional playground equipment
for the younger children as we'll as
assistance in carrying out plans for
recreational facilities for the young
people of the town.
In connection with the tennis
court which is in process of con-
struction, the Bevier committee will
furnish the necessary net and posts
for enclosing the court; new back
stop will be provided for the ball
field, and more swings will be ar
ranged for on the school play
ground and on the tract next to the
city hall which was bought with
Bevier funds also. The latter swings
will be placed where they will not
interfere with ample space for the
skating pond which will be available
by next winter.
A splendid start is thus in sight
for a recreational program for
Wrangell which will be second to
none in the Territory. Other i'm
provements will follow, according to
those interested. The wading pool
at the park is already being visited
by mothers and younger children
who are finding safe place for
wholesome play, thanks to the ef-
forts of the Forestry department,
and by united effort on the part OF
the community Keeping children
off the streets and providing them
with areas where their natural en-
ergies can find the proper outlet
will not be the problem that it has
been in the past.

Representing interested persons
in the building of the tennis court
under School Grounds WPA Pro-
ject, VIM. Eastaugh, Mrs. George
Moran and Mrs. H. B. Thornquist
were present at the city council
meeting last night.
Mr.. Eastaugh explained to the
council that the dimensions of the
concrete court, according to the
measurements in the specifications
were not standard size and, there
fore, the objective in constructing
the court would be lost unless the
size is corrected.
The additional expense, to make
the court standardized, Mr.. East
augh said, would be the cement nee
essary. He also pointed out that the
wire netting around the court was
not high enough. The corrections
it was said, would increase the
towns share of the cost by one
third to one-half.
The desirability of bringing the
court to standard was not ques-
toned by the council, the problem
being entirely a matter of the
towns ability to finance the add
tional cost.
1t was suggested that the tennis
committee enlist the aid of the
Bevier fund committee to assis
with funds in its possession which
the council members held to be /,
proper expenditure.
