Arizona Edison Has
Good News For
Coolidge

B. F. Jarratt, manager of the Ari-
zona Edison Co., Inc, at Coolidge,
Is pleased to announce that the
rates on electricity for residential
lighting and small commercial light
ing and power has been reduced.
The increase in consumption
means lower rates. These rates are
particularly beneficial to business
houses and residential customers
who at pres sent are small
users Of electricity. This rate re-
duction will mean a saving of
$2SOO a year in electricity for Ari-
zona Edison customers in this
valley. Mr.. Jarratt has worked
faithfully the past months to get
these reduced rates for the benefit
of his patrons, and we are sure his
efforts will be appreciated by Coo
lidge residents. On another page
you will find the Arizona Edison
advertising their new schedule Of
rates and the everhot Electric
roaster with attractive induce
ments.

Severe Road Test by
Petroleum Engineers

According o authoritative
sources, one of the most compre-
hensive gasoline and motor car road
tests ever made has just recently
been completed by Richfield Engi-
neers.
For 65 days practically every
type of automobile was tested un-
der all driving conditions. The
Imperial Valley region, which is
considered the toughest test on
automobiles and gasoline in the
United States, was used. Also,
tests in freezing tempera-
ture on mountain roads were re-
corded. During all of these severe
tests, performance meters register
ed the car-pulling power and the
efficiency of different gasolines.
According to G. French, Richfield
Sales Executive, the tests were
made to check their new Hi
Octane gasoline against laboratory
test. "To get all-round performance
in a gasoline is a laboratory duty,
but to see # it works out on the
road is the engineers job" states
French.

Poppy Day May 27

Bright red poppies bloomed out
today at The American Legion
Home when the American Legion
Auxiliary received its supply of
the World War memorial flowers
for Poppy Day, Saturday, May 27.
The poppies, hundreds of carefully
made replicas of the famous pop.
pies of France and Belgium, came
from Phoenix, where they were
made by disabled war veterans.
The Auxiliary's Poppy committee,
under the direction of Mrs. Talla,
chairman, is putting in busy hours
counting and arranging the flowers
in readiness for the women who
will offer them on the streets on
Poppy Day, to be worn in honor
of the World War dead. Prepara
tions are being made to cover the
entire city with the flowers, with
the hope that everyone will join in
the observance of the day and pay
tribute to those who gave their
lives in defense of democracy.
Each poppy has been shaped
with painstaking care by some
disabled veteran said Mrs. Peggy
Miller, State Department Chair
man. Each one is slightly differ
ent from the others because they
are made entirely by hand. Some
are more perfect than others, due
to the varying skill of the veterans
but all represent the best efforts
of their makers to reproduce in
crepe paper the wild Flanders
poppy which grow and bloomed
along the battle front in France
and Belgium.
"The idea of the poppy as the
memorial flower for the war dead
sprang naturally to the minds OF
the men in France when they saw
these brave little flowers bloom
ing on the bare battle graves
Colonel John McCrea expressed II
in his immortal poem, and one oi
the first acts of The American
Legion was the adoption of the
poppy as it's memorial flower. The
British Legion also adopted the
poppy and the flower is worn II
every part of the world to com
memorate the sacrifice of those
who fell in the ranks of the demo
cratic powers"

New Year Marks
Start of the Social
Security Payments

The New Year marks the begin
ming of monthly payments by the
federal government under the old
age and survivors insurance pro-
gram of the social security act. An
amendment to the act, passed at the
last regular session of Congress,
advanced the payment of these
benefits by two years.
Eligible persons in Yakima, Kit
titas and Benton counties will file
their applications for these bene-
fits with the Yakima office of the
federal social security board, Leo.
c. Raaberg, manager, has announc-
ed.
These monthly benefits, Raaberg
explains, will be based entirely on
work performed since January 1,
1887 at jobs covered by the social
security act. All lines of CONNER
cial and industrial employment are
under the law. Workers in these
jobs are required to have a social
security account card. They also
pay q tax of one percent of their
wages or salaries from such en-
ployment and the employer pays an
equal amount.
The following groups of persons
are entitled to these benefits:
(1) Workers of age IS or more
who choose to retire and who have
worked at jobs covered by the So
cial security act in at least six
calendar quarters since January /
1887, and earned at least $50 in each
quarter.
(2) The surviving widow and
children of a worker who dies after
December 81, if there is a child un-
der Is or under 10 and in school
The deceased worker must also have
had the six quarters of employment
stated above.
(3) Surviving parents who were
wholly dependent on an unmarried
son or daughter may receive bene-
I fits when each parent attains 65
The deceased worker must have been
fully insured under the law at time
of death. III IT,,
The insurance payments, accord
ing to Raaberg, should not be con-
fused with public assistance to the
needy aged, needy blinr or needy
dependent children. The public as
sistance programs are conducted by
the state and local county govern
! mentS. ~
| The benefits starting with the
New Year are paid to insured
workers or their surviving family
relatives insured person being
