Nat Dodge Shows
Pictures At
Waikiki Inn

Tuesday night before a goodly
crowd of towns-people and the
guests of Waikiki Inn, including Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. Baker, from Phila-
delphia, and Mrs. Chas. Pozer, from
Washington, D. c., Nat Dodge
showed three reels of films Of the
National Parks Of Arizona and New
Mexico, and reel of film showing
the art of basket weaving and
pottery making as done by the Pima
Indians. This fine art Is fast going
out of existence and if more films
could be shown like the one pro-
duced by Mr.. Dodge, a new interest
would be revived and a market
created for this kind of basket work
and pottery that would save what
will soon be lost art.
The pictures of the different
National Parks, which were shown
in colors, were beautiful and Mr..
Dodge, who Is born lecturer with
a grand voice, added greatly to the
entertainment by explaining the
different scenes flashed on the
screen and the work that was being
accomplish in preserving these old
land marks of civilization from
vandalism by the establishing of
National Parks under the super
vision of the United States Govern
ment.
MIR. and Mrs. Walter Smith were
right on hand to see that everyone
was acquainted and obtained a
good seat to view the films. After
the movies an enjoyable hour was
spent over coffee and delectable
cakes served by Mr.. and Mrs. Smith.

Recreational Director
Appointed for
Coolidge

Mr.. George Marich, who Is a
graduate from the physical educa-
tional department Of Tempe College
arrived in Coolidge the first Of the
week and will take over his duties
here in supervising playground
activities and promoting interest in
ont door sports by staging tourna-
ments and different contests. Mr.
Marich is employed by the WPA
Recreational Department and he
hopes before so very long to have
a lady assistant who will hep him
in getting the ladies interested in
some out door sports. What work
has been done along this line in
the past was done by that sport
loving fan Ray Lindemann who is
quite happy over the fact that he
now has this long looked for help
from the WPA Recreational Depart
ment Mr. Marich is an all around
athlete and pitched ball for his
college team. He has very win
ming personally and will no doubt
have many interested in some sort
of sport before so very long.
There have been several new
additions to the playground equip
ment lately; Fred Elledge donating
a pool table that has been convert
ed into a ping pom table; Judge
El,edge gave a cable to fence in
the grounds, and loaned his
cement mixer 80 that putting
course can be made; Lumber for
the different apparatuses was do
mated by the O'nalley Lumber Co.,
Foxworth- Galbraith Lumber Co. and
the Stapley Company; and the
fence enclosing the tennis court was
donated by the Community Church.
Some of the attractions of the pay
ground are three regulation size
horse shoe courts, two for the men
and one for the women; a Badmin-
ton court; croquet grounds; and a
tennis court which has proven so
popular that another one will soon
have to built to accommodate those
wishing to play. Volley Ball can
also be played on the courts at the
High School.
