German Move Seen
Warning 10 Nations
OF Central Europe
Coup Loid to Aim to
Dissolve Czech Army,
Take Over Gold
By PERTINAX.

PARIS, March Is (N.A.N.A0.-
For the second time, Czecho-Slo-
vakia has been placed upon the
surgical table, and nobody knows
whether brutal annexation of the
country will not be, after a few
weeks, the outcome of the per-
formance.
Leaving aside that possible de-
velopment, how can it be explained
that the German government should
have gathered such powerful mil
itary forces against the Czecho-
Slovak rulers, who, no doubt. were
ready to comply quietly with all
the most drastic terms devised by
Hitler and his advisers and would
not even have refused Slovakia full
independence?
To that question, a two-fold an
swer can be returned.
Firstly, the Nazi government is
determined to do away, once for all,
with the Czecho-Slovak army, i'm
pose enforcement of anti-JeWish
legislation. and transfer to the
Reichbank one-fourth. If not more,
of the gold reserve of the Central
Bank in Prague. The Fuehrer and
those near him had suspected for
some time that the Czecho-S -Slovak
governments were little by little
getting over the feeling of help
lessness which oppressed them last
autumn, that they were setting new
hopes upon the firmer attitude of
the Western powers, and that they
sedulously endeavored to elude Ger
many's requests and gain time. Now,
at one single stroke. the renascent
spirit of the country is being
crushed.

BERCHTESGADEN, Germany
Adolf Hitler can rise above the
clouds whenever he wants to.
He has had constructed for him
self an aerie the like of which no
other living human being can boast.
A teahouse, perched upon noun
taintop and accessible-except for
chamois-only by an elevator on the
inside of the Kehlstein Mountain,
affords the Fuehrer of Germany an
opportunity to enjoy absolute soli-
tude in cloudless sky.
Here's the history Of the hideaway:
Before Adolf Hitler came into
power in January, 1893. his sum-
mer home in the Bavarian Alps,
about miles above Berchtesgaden,
on slope of the Obersalzberg, gave
him the secl,lsion and quiet he
Graves as an offset to noisy "heils," !"
tramping feet and trumpets' blare.
Even then any trained observer
could foresee the end of seclusion
in that spot. The writer recalls trav-
cling to the Obersalzberg in Aug
ust. 1882, and finding to his surprise
that a simple Bavarian mountain
restaurant about 200 yards up the
road was peopled with ardent Nazis
who trained their spyglasses on the
house below in the hope of catching
glimpse Of Der Fuehrer.
Mecca for Disciples.
No sooner had he become Chan
cellor than the Berghof. as the OBJ
e-salzberg chalet is called, became
the mecca for disciples of national
Socialism. Reichsfuehrer Hitler
simply had to come out on the We
randa from time to time to salute
the masses fringing the roadside.
Moreover. the "Berghof" had to be
enlarged for visits of statesmen and
party leaders summoned by the
chief of state. The solitude of the
Berchtesgaden retreat was gone.
Der Fuehrer next discovered q
little tea house some distance away
from his home. Here he would often
go in the afternoon to relax. But this
retreat, too, was soon discovered.
Then one Of his closest collabora-
tors suggested that the top Of the
Kehlstein would provide exactly
what the Fuehrer wanted-a retreat
inaccessible to the crowd and hathed
in sunshine at times when the
Berghof was wrapped in gray clouds.

Model Home Opening
Well Attended

A large number of people at
tended the opening of the new
Model Home and expressed keen
delight over it's attractive decora-
tions and the many fine features
and arrangements that were in
corporated in its building. The
home was built for the purpose of
showing the public how many fine
features that were hiterto found
only in the higher price homes
could now be installed in a home
that would fit the income of the
average man. Now that this fact
has been shown to be true the
interest created will no doubt
materialize in many new homes
being erected. The home was de-
signed and built under the super
vision of Ernie Lindemann, the
materials being furnished by Fox
worth -Galbraith Lumber Company.
The home was furnished through
out by the Coolidge Furniture Co.

for work County Supervisor
Walter Smith said that as soon as
it is determined how many are
looking for work that some pro-
ject will be set up under the N.Y.A.
which will furnish part time work
for those who register. Several

this set up and working in the
Court House. Projects that might
be used to furnish the work would
be taking care of the park, beautl-

Petitions Being
Circulated For
Fire Department

A committee met at the Chamber
of Commerce last Friday night
with the result that petitions are
being circulated to get 81 percent
of the property owners in Coolidge
so that it can be presented to the
Board of Supervisors to act upon.
When this petition is passed upon
by the board they will advertise
the proposition and call a special
election at which the property
owners may vote upon the question
whether or not they want their
property taxed to support fire
department The committee de-
cided that it would be necessary
to levy a tax of 5 mills to buy the
necessary equipment and maintain
a fire department that would meet
the requirements of the insurance
companies. The tax would be off
set by the reduction in the insur-
ance rates so that a fire organiZa-
ton could be maintained for what
the property owners are now pay
ing for increased insurance rates
because of inadequate protection.
Four petitions are being circulated.
You will find them at O'Malley
Lumber Company, Chamber of
Commerce, Coolidge Auto Supply,
and Don Paul. Make it a point TO
go to one of these places and sign
the petition. 81 percent Of the
property owners must sign before
any action can be taken and by
taking the responsibility of getting
your name on the list yourself you
can have the Committee a lot of
time and work. If you want fire
department that will meet the re-
quirements of the Insurance Com
panies now is the time to get in
and do little pushing. 1t is just
matter of procedure if everyone is
willing to do his part.

Swimming Awards to
be Given Saturday

Saturday evening at 1880 p. m.
AZ the Waikiki Inn the awards will
be given to those who have passed
TIE requirements in the swimming
course that has been held under
the auspices of the Red Cross. A
large number took advantage of
the free instructions given at the
Waikiki Inn pool, both young and
old, and as a result we can safely
say that there are a large number
who are now swimming devotees
that could not be classed as sucn
two weeks ago. After the pre-
sentations are made there will be
a big melon feed in the patio, the
melons and refreshments to be
donated by the Coolidge business
men. The swimming course has
proven so popular that no doubt an
effort will be made to give the
same course again next year. Mr..
Earl Hicks, chairman of the Red
Cross deserves considerable praise
for his efforts and responsibilities
connected with the giving of this
course, and Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
Smith a thank-you from the whole
community for the donation of the
use of their pool which made 1t
possible for the Red Cross 10 pro-
mote this beneficial pastime.

Convention To Be
Held at Coliseum

The opening session of the 21st
national convention of the Ameri-
can Legion, Monday September %,
will be held in Chicago's most his
toric auditorium, the Coliseum, in
which three presidents of the Unit
ed States have been nominated.
This was made possible as the re
sult"of an agreement completed be-
tween Philip w. Collins, Executive
Vice President of the 1889 Ameri-
can Legion Convention Corpora
tion of Chicago, and Charles R.
Hall, veteran manager of the Chi
cago Coliseum Operating Company.
The Coliseum has a remarkable
history. Believe it or not. but the
walls of the Coliseum at one time
surrounded Libby Prison at Rich
mond, Va. The prison was torn
down and moved to Chicago in
numbered pieces to be rebuilt as
war museum for the Worlds Fair
of 1898. After that Fair, Chicago
remodeled the museum into a Coli
scum with a seating capacity of 12,-
900 persons. The old Libby Prison
walls were retained for the Colise-
um.
The first convention held in the
Coliseum was a national conven-
ton of the Grand Army of the Re
public.
Six national political conventions
have been held in the Coliseum
in 1904, 1908, 1912, 1916, and 1920
Three presidents nominated in the
Coliseum were Theodore Roosevelt
William Howard Taft, and Warren
G. Harding.
! The American Legion will meet
in the historic Coliseum for the
first time in it's 1889 national con
vention.-Southwest Veteran.

Growth of Tourist
Business In State
Stressed at Meet

The tourist industry in Arizona
is larger than either the mining or
the agricultural industries, Walter
r. Bimson, chairman of the ma
tional advertising committee of the
Phoenix Chamber of Commerce,
declared in an address at the week
ly luncheon meeting of the Phoe
nix Kiwanis Club Wednesday in
Hotel Adams.
There was time, he said, when
the mining industry was the largest
IN the state, and at its peak pro-
duced more than $100,000,000 in
metals in year. Later, he pointed
out, the agricultural industry also
became large. At the present time,
he said, the tourist trade brings in
more money than either mining or
agriculture.
Last year, he said, the tourist
trade in Arizona was valued at
more than $70,000,000 and this
year, it is estimated, the tourists
will spend more than $S2,000,00O
in the state by reason of the two
world fairs. Organized efforts in
the state, he said, to promote and
foster this industry is meager, and
the amount spent in advertising
the state is trifling compared with
what other states and other COM
munities are doing in that line.
Last year, he said, Phoenix spent
$26,00O as compared with $4,000
spent by San Antonio, Tex; s30.-
600 by Ell Paso, Tex; and $77,500
by San Diego, Calf. A great deal
of the advertising of Arizona to
the tourists is done by private en-
! terprises, he said.
| Mr.. Bimson estimated that about
half the money tourists spend In
| the state eventually finds its way
into Phoenix and the Salt River
valley. He said there is little citi-
zens of the state could do to in
crease either mining or agriculture
because so many factors having a
direct bearing on the prosperity of
either are beyond the control of
the people in the state. That is not
true of the tourist industry, he
said. 1t lays within the power Of
the people to promote its growth.
He enumerated four things he
said the state needs in promoting
tourist trade: better roads, more
money for national advertising,
better organization and planning,
and more education concerning the
value of tourist trade, particularly
education of the people of the state
as to what Arizona has to offer
the tourist. Most of the things the
state has to offer, he said, have
not cost the people one cent.-Ex

Department of Education and will
enter his new work July 1, 1889.
Mr.. Mangun is a graduate Of the
University of Arizona with a
Master of Arts Degree in Educa-
ton. He did his undergraduate
work at Arizona State Teachers
College, Flagstaff, Arizona, and
DePauw University receiving the
Bachelor of Arts Degree in Mathe-
matics from the latter institution.
In the summer of 1885 Mr.. Man
gun came to Coolidge from Bakers
field, California and organized the
newly created high school. The
new high school operated during
the first year under the handicap
of temporary quarters, but due to
the efficient management of Mr..
Mangun the school was given Glass
B rating the first year. The second
year the schools rating was raised
to Glass A, and the third year the
North Central Association gave the
school full recognition thus placing
it on par with the best schools of
the state and making her graduates
eligible to enter any college or
university without entrance ex
animation. This same high rating
has been renewed for 1910.
The Coolidge Union High School
plant, now recognized as one of the
very best in the State, was planned
in its entirity by Mr.. Mangun.
Through careful planning and con-
facts that have brought State and
Federal aid the District now has a
plant valued at $131,O0O.OO, while
the bonded Indebtedness incurred
was only s5S,OoO0O. The District
is in excellent financial condition
and will close the year with a
surplus.
Mr.. Mangun has been active in
civic affairs of the community. He
is member of and has taken active
part in Masonic and Scottish Rite
activities. In 1888 he took a lead
ing part in the organization of San
Carlos Lodge No. 80 I. o. o. F. in
Coolidge, and was the first Noble
Grand of that order. He is a
charter member of the reorganized
Coolidge Lions Club. In 1888 he
was a delegate from Coolidge Club
to the Lions International Con-
vention held in Oakland, California.
AS chairman of the Better Roads
Committee of the Club he was
instrumental in initiating the pro-
gram that led to the building OF
the miracle Mile" of highway in
Coolidge now under construction.
He is also chairman of the Sight
Conservation Committee of the
Lions Club, and in that capacity
has assisted in carrying out pro-
gram whereby all the children of
Coolidge and vicinity with defective
sight have had their eyes tested
and thirty-two have been provided
with glasses. He is a member of
the Protestant Episcopal Church
and has taken active part in the
local affairs of that organization.
Mr.. Mangun's new position of
State Textbook Accountant will
bring him into direct contact with
the schools throughout the State,
and will greatly widen his field OF
activity and usefulness. His absence
from our midst will be greatly felt
and the Examiner joins his many
friends in wishing him well in his
new field of endeavor.
