Governor Appeals To Employers OF
Guardsmen To Grant Them Time
To Undergo Training January All

Gov. R. T. Jones this week ap-
pealed to employers of young men
who are members of the Arizona
national guard to grant them time
to undergo field training from Jan.
4 to II.
The governors message was as
follows:
''The personnel of the national
guard are naturally and largely en-
ployees of corporations and bust
ness houses of the communities
and some are in colleges and high
schools.
Deemed Important
I'm view of the directions of the
federal government, and realizing
the chaotic conditions Of the world
today, this additional training is
deemed most important to the Of
ficers and enlisted men of the
guard. It is such type of training
which fits the officer to take care
Of and provide for the men of his
command, and that these men,
generally, may learn more thorough
ly to care for themselves under con-
ditions which may at any time call
them into the service of the state
or nation"
1.-The call for this type of training
at this time comes to me from the
federal government, through the
War Department and the adjutant
general of the state. 1t is realized
that every state in the Union will
undergo similar training and as the
national guard of our state is, un-
der the federal law, a part Of the
army Of the United States, it is
necessary that Arizona conform to
this directive"
Strong Appeal
GAS Governor of the state and
commander-in-chief of the national
guard in times of peace" Jones con-
tinued, II appeal most strongly and
sincerely to the employers of the
young men. members of the ma
tional guard, interested in the pro-
lection of our state and nation, to
cheerful:y and honestly make every
effort to grant their employees con-
cerned the time necessary to un-
dergo this training. 1t is unfor-
tunate that at times situations
arise which may disrupt the normal
activities of business; yet, such hap
pens and in view of the necessity
to have well trained force COM
petent to afford the protection OF
our homes and business, the stu
alton at present calls for sacrifice

Mexico Builds
Big Reservoir
On San Juan Riuer

MISSION (TexO Dec. 29-The Ell
Azucar Dam which the Mexican gov
ernment is constructing on the San
Juan River, 70 miles south of here,
is the second largest project in Mex
leo. When completed it will provide
storage for sufficient water to ir-
rigate more than 100000 acres OF
land.
The reservoir will cover $4,000
acres and will have capacity OF
2,100, 100000 cubic meters of wa
ter.
MANUAL LABOR
Practically all of the work on the
dam is being performed by man
power. More than 1000 men have
been constantly employed for the
last two years on the big project.
To provide homes for the en-
ployees and their families the town
of Gonzales, which contains more
than 5000 people, has been created
by the government near the damsite.
1t is distinguished from other towns
in Mexico by the fact that it has
no saloons and no churches.
1t will take another two years
to complete the dam and the main
canal and laterals of the irrigation
system, it was stated by engineers
of the project.

he had thrown the big house open

Everything was there to make the
