Coolidge Band Will
Soon be Organized

Considerable activity has been
going on the past week the purpose
of which is to form a band. Any
one interested, or any one that has
ever played a wind instrument, or
beat a drum, or can help with
suggestions, or has been a band
leader is urged to send their name
to the Examiner. There is nothing
like a band to put pep and en-
thusiasm into the various com
munity gatherings, and ball games,
and concerts and there is no doubt
that there is plenty of talent in
Coolidge to have a first class band
The main thing to start is to get
the names of everyone that can
contribute something in the way
of organizing a band so if interested
send in your name and this means
everybody, men, women, boys and
girls.

Cove Ranch Show
Place of the Desert

Mr. and Mrs. Jess Taylor who
have resided at Cove Ranch for the
past Is years have built and land
scaped their place from the raw
desert land into one of the show
places of the desert. Besides many
hundreds of fine Citrus trees, which
by the way, Mr.. Taylor told us Of
picking 70 grapefruit off one limb,
they have any number of beautiful
flowers. The sweet-peas, pink,
purple, lavender, red, white, some
with four blossoms on a single
stem are a wonderful sight to see.
We are not the only ones who have
heard of this beautiful sweet-pea
garden for all day Sunday the
Taylors were kept busy entertain
ing and showing the people who
stopped to see the flowers which
abound the place. The hospitality
of Taylors is even more famous
then the beautiful flowers they
grow, and we can safely say that
they are quite the most obllglne
people that we have ever had the
pleasure of knowing.

American Legion
Ball Best Dance
Of the Year

The American Legion Dance
held on st. Patricks Night was a
grand success and those who failed
to attend missed one of the best
times of the year The crowd which
assembled came from all the near
by towns and as far as Phoenix
and everyone that attended pro-
nounced it as the best dance of the
year. The proceeds Of the dance
are to be used for building a
new home for the American Legion,
and if the st. Patrick's dance can
be any criterion the dances in the
future should be we'll attended. The
American Legion has been sponsor
ing a series of old fashioned dances.
The next one will be held on Sat
urday night the 25th. The price is
only so cents and everyone should
attend as the cause for which the
money is to be spent is a worthy
one. and--by> giving dances in about
the only means that the Legion
has to get funds. Support the
American Legion by attending its
dances, for it is an organization
that has the best interest of the
community as its main objective,
and we are sure that everyone feels
the need of a new hall here in
Coolidge.

Congressman Muir
dock Fights Curtail-
ment of Funds for
Reclamation Projects

Arizona and other states in the
far west offer vast possibilities of
industrial and agricultural expan-
sion through the development of
reclamation and power projects,
Congressman John r. Murdoch of
Arizona told the House in his
successful fight against curtailment
of funds for the ella project and
others in Arizona and the nearby
area.
Congressman Murdoch pointed
out that the appropriation for the
ella project has been of great con-
Germ to Arizona for years. Hereto
fore, there usually has been a
desperate fight to reduce or eli
inmate entirely this item.
This year, Congressman Rich,
Republican, Of Pennsylvania listed
the ella project among those or
which he contended the appropria-
ton should be reduced so per cent,
and led a determined fight to have
the entire Interior Department Ap-
preparation bill recommitted TO
committee with instructions to re-
duce all items by as much as %
| per cent.
Congressman Murdoch opposed
this effort, and contended against
all attempts to alter the project
! in Arizona or affect the appropria-
ton in any way.
The Arizona Congressman also
successfully opposed move by
Representative Gilchrist of Iowa to
strike out a 100000 appropriation
for further survey of the Colorado
river basin, explaining that expert
scientific study was one of the
prime essentials for the continued
development of the resources OF
the west.
''I know positively that the great
West, the Rocky Mountain region
from which I come, is a com
paratively undeveloped portion Of
our country, and even we who live
there do not know adequately the
facts and resources and posi-
bilities of that region he said
Pointing out that at the present
time Arizona has to import butter
eggs, flour, and all the necessary
foods from outside our border

Phoenix Tuesday night. 1t was open
to the public without charge and
Mr.. Dodge talked on the Develop
ment of the National Park Monu-
ments, tracing the development
from 1882 when Congress first set
aside certain areas to be known as
National Parks. Mr.. Dodge has be-
come quite famous for his interest
ing lectures on National Parks and
for the beautiful films that he has
taken of Desert plants and animals.

GAS it Appears To
Your Congressman
By John r. Murdoch

Congressman John R. Murdoch
of Arizona was one of the commit
tee of Congressman who waited on
the President Monday morning,
March goth to request his con
sideratiOn of an increase in the
budget for flood control for the
next year. The budget estimate is
l$110,000,000. The army engineers
believe they could use properly
$195, 000,0 900 for the coming year.
Accordingly these congressman felt
that the flood control approprid-
ton should be raised $S5,00O,OOO.
After listening to several mem
bers, President Roosevelt indicated
sympathetic attitude by calling
attention to the enormous increases
in public expenses for all such pur'
poses and also the mounting ma
tional debt. He thought it unwise
to go beyond the total budget esti-
mate to the extent of $85OOO,OOO
or to any extent whatsoever and
suggested to the Congressman that
if they could find $S5,000,000 by
taking it from something else,
that such might be the proper
course of action, as he was fully
aware of the damage done so
frequently by floods.
Before the Congressman left, the
President indicated that the gov
eminent had been doing more and
more for various parts of the
country, paying for the same out
of the federal treasury without the
substantial justification on the
basis of immediate returns to the
treasury. AS an illustration he
pointed out that much federal
money has been spent to improve
rivers and harbors for navigation
with help to users but only nebul-
Gus economic benefit for the entire
country. He thought that Congress
men. might do we'll to figure out
some tax method by which such
public improvements could be made
to pay for themselves, or at least
a part of their cost, over a long
period of years.
Congressman Murdoch OF Arizona
reminded the President that the
large expenditure for public roads
was paving for itself, that the ex-
penditure for reclamation was Ie-
imbursable and was coming back
into the treasury, and the Congress
man from Arizona would be willing
to see an attempt made to have
navigation and harbor projects like
wise made subject to the expense
of the users and the communities
benefiting therefrom. However, Mr..
Murdoch told the President he
thought flood Control projects were
in a different class and that flood
control was an immediate RESPONSE
bility of the general government.

Redistricting of
Pinal County Still
A Live Issue

In spite of the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce in sending
delegation to the Capitol to do
what they could in getting the bill
out of the Committee room for aD-
proval, the legislature adjourned
without taking any action. The
supervisoral arrangement in Pinal
County is not a satisfactory ar
rangement as it stands and it
seems to us that the County Board
of Supervisors have the power to
redistrict the county when it is
necessary without any law COM
polling them to so. This result can
be brought about if we all keep
working with this end in view.

additional competition with them

products.

He pointed out that ARIZONA

causing the delay. 1t is now set

When Warmers decided to make a
film OF the successful Broadway
play, Yes, My Darling Daughter, )"
I wondered how the movie version
would sidestep the plots main
spring-an unmarried boy and girl
going away together on a week end
Jaunt-unchaperoned. At the pre-
view the audience was astonished
to find that not only did Priscilla
Lane and Jeffrey Lynn spend the
week end alone together, but that
nearly every one else in the film,
with the exception of Priscilla S
father-who was made to appear
silly and Observation-Disclosures abet-
ted and insisted they should.
The result was that the New
York Board of Censors banned the
picture. Lucky for Warmers that
the Board Of Regents gave belated
okay, or the studios little brush
with unlicensed adolescent love
would have cost them $25O,OO0.
Gone With the Wind" has already
reached $3,OO0,OO budget and will

dividuals, liked this swing version
of classic and then 1t was hoisted
up and heaved to Broadway.
It comes here to be greeted, un-
doubtedly, with considerable dissen-
sions from the audience. Gilbert
and Sullivan fans are very talkative
and they will have plenty to say
about such swing trif1ing with
classical numbers like 'The Flowers
That Bloom in the Spring, Ira La"
and "Titwillow."
(To save argument, it should be
interrupted here to remind that
there is another swing version OF
THE Mikado" arriving on Boardway
later in the season with Bill Robin
son in one of the leading roles.)

Evening star., 1939-03-05

If one is e swing enthusiast, then
"The Swing Mikado" is an exciting
experience. Undoubtedly Gilbert
and Sullivan fans, the orthodox
ones, will have complaints to make
about the liberties taken just as
there would be considerable means
If one tried to swing Victor Herbert.
But the result Of Gilbert and Sui
Ivan is that some of their songs
will definitely lend to swing and
some definitely will not. This has
tuneful cast of unknows and is
something that may achieve the
success on Broadway that 1t already
boasts in Chicago. The Gilbert and
Sullivan lyrics are not particularly
fitted to the tongues of the Negro
cast, so their chance Of success
really depends upon the rhythm
they can get from the swing and
hep and such nonsense Of tunes.
