Edgar Bergen,
Ventriloquist,
Visits Nogales

Edgar Bergen, famed NBC VEN
triloquist and aide to Charlie Nc
Carthy, announced here yesterday
as he paid Nogales flying visit In
his new Stinson "105" cabin mono
plane that he is setting up a ma
tional Edgar Bergen Aviation Foun-
dation to train advanced civilian
pilots in the interest of national air
defense.
Six blind flying students al
ready are enrolled under a Bergen
scholarship in an advanced Civil
Aeronautics Authority school at
Glendale. Calf, and six more will
be trained every six weeks at an
average cost of $500 per student, the
"boss man. of Charlie Mccarthy
disclosed.
Bergen, a flying enthusiast who
only recently made his solo flight
and has II solo hours to his credit,
was accompanied on his local visit
by Al Larry, his pilot-instructor from
the Stinson sales office in Glendale.
Charlie Mccarthy failed to make
the trip.
Somebody had to stay home to
look after the phone numbers, said
Bergen. "The numbers in Holly
wood are all private and even
Charlie can't keep up with the
changes"
Bergen told Nogales newsmen h'
is backing the training of ad""'H"''
student pilots without adequate
means of carrying on their studies
because he believes air defense is
absolutely essential" to safeguard
American ideals of democracy.
while the students I am back
ing are being trained for CONNER
cial flying on Airlines," said Ber-
gen, they will also help from the
flying backbone of Americas air
defense"
The NBC star said students from
all over the country will be eligible
for his foundation. All they need is
a recommendation from one of the
major Airlines and a guarantee
from the Airline that a job will
await them if they pass the neces-
sary qualification tests after fin
ishing their courses.

I shall approach the duties of that
high office with the same degree
Of care and caution required in man
aging any other vast and import
ant business.
First of all, I shall insist upon
an independent and unbiased audit
of all departments of the States
business. Before economies can be
effected, the sources of the leaks
must be determined. I shall use this
audit as a. basis for an economical
but adequate budget which I shall
ask the various departments to
adopt.
IT shall recommend to the Legis-
lature such reforms, shown by this
audit, to be best calculated to re-
duce the enormous expenditures of
the State government:
"a: BY consolidation of over
tapping agencies;
"b: BY elimination of ununces-
sary red tape" in the function
ing of the various departments;
and
&c: BY avoiding the political
patronage basis" in the selection
Of personnel
II shall insist upon the immediate
development Of all water resources
ava1able to the people of Arizona.
Whatever can do, 1 will do, to
bring about for the benefit of the
people of Arizona the utilization of
the 100 900 hp. of electrical energy
at Boulder Dam which has been
allotted and is now available to our

Location Is Important

The ALLEGATION of $25,OOOO0 to the Blue
Ridge Cold Storage Cooperative by the
r F. A. to build a combination freezer
locker and cold storage plant here marks
another milestone in the march OF pro-
gress that is taking place in Ashe county,
Of course $25, 100000 is not vast sum OF
money for such project, but at least 1t IS
large enough for beginning. AS the SER
vices of this plant grow, more funds Tor
constructing additions to it can no doubt
be obtained without any difficulty
The important thing now is the selec-
ton of proper location and the construc-
ton of a building that will best suit the
needs in this section.
To be a success, the plant must be erec-
ted. close to the shopping center and be-
readily accessible. It is also advisable to
have the facilities of a railroad available.
The officers and directors of the Co-ope-
rative have the welfare of the county
keenly at heart and their interest in the
cold storage plant is not at all selfish.
Therefore, we feel sure they will exercise
good judgment in the matter Of location
and building plans.

Noted Minister
Is Vacationing
In Ashe County
DR.. r. T. Caldwell, Retired
Presbyterian Preacher, Is
Staying At Springs.

One of the most outstanding
Presbyterian ministers of the
west is DR.. R. T. Caldwell, OF
Cheyenne, -Wyo., who together
with his wife, is spending the
summer at the Bromine-Arsenic
Springs hotel.
DR.. Caldwell served As years
as a Presbyterian pastor before
retiring. He was born and reared
in Kentucky. Among his many
accomplishments is the fine rec
ord of having been the leading
force in the erection of five beau
tiful church buildings, one of
which probably cost million
"This is truly a beautiful coun-
try and Tam enjoying my stay
here immensely" the 76-year-old
servant of the Master, told a Post
reporter last Saturday.
Besides his ministerial work,
DR.. Caldwell is a noted civic lea
der, and now, has the unusual dis
tinction of having a lifetime hon
orary membership in Kiwanis In
ternational.

turally the apple Of the eye" of world
conquering dictator. A defeat of the United
States would also mean defeat of all the
countries of North American and South
American hemispheres.
Today Democracy is on trial through
out the world. Can it protect itself from
within and at the same time become so
powerful as to protect itself from without?
France had what was thought to be the
best army under the sun, but look what
happened Internal strife, more than any
thing else, caused a tragic collapse of the
great French nation.
Are we going to be the victim of the
same disease? Are we going to allow seeds
of Nazism, Fascism and Communism to
spring up in this country while we argue
against national preparedness?
Every free institution in this country
should see the light and start shouting pa
triotism from the housetops. Preachers
should start preaching it, for downfall of
democracy will also mean downfall of
Christianity. One of the great troubles with
religion in this country is that Christianity
has been more or less buried beneath
towerhouses of sectarianism and denomina-
tional prejudice. The present defeat of
Christianity in Europe and Asia should be
sufficient warning to the danger that
threatens this nation.
We have had an overdose OF freedom IN
America and too little realization of the re-
sponsibilities of liberty. AS the adage aptly
states, "eternal viligence is the price OF
freedom"
Every American who loves the Aneri-
can-way of life - government Of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people -
freedom of speech, freedom of worship,
freedom of assembly and freedom OF the
press - should be awakened to the lurch-
ing disasters from abroad and have a new
birth of patriotic fever.
We need to evidence our appreciation OF
these precious things that we ENJOY. we
need to talk to sing and to shout this ap-
nreciation. We need more Of the old time
Fourth of July oratory. We need OLD Glory
flving from every housetop and IN the
hearts of every true American.

ACrying Need

Entirely too many Americans are still
looking with complacence upon the events
that are occurring with phenomenal ra-
pidity overseas, in the belief that lit can't
happen here"
Strange as it might seem, many leaders
of the largest Christian denominations in
this country are still condemning the ma
tional defense program that is being pu-
shed forward with all possible speed, but
maybe too slowly.
Fanatic lovers of peace are contending
that there is no cause for being alarmed,
that by preparing for war we are treading
in a road that will lead to war and to dicta-
torship and totalitari anism.
Those who hold these conceptions are
unquestionably sincere, but the sad part is
that they are blind. It is now an obvious
fact that Hitler and Mussolini, if not Rus
STA and Japan, are out to conquer the
world
The zero hour for mighty invasion of
the British Isles is near and it will be
miracle if England can successfully defend
her borders In less than five months time,
ten peace-loving Democratic nations have
fallen before the onslaughter Of great
mechanical force of might, and now the
great British Empire is threatened with de-
struction.
After England what next? America, OF
course. The richest nation on earth is ma
