The Examiners Indian printer,
Clarence Norris, who has filled an
important role in this papers
publication for several years, was
laid up with a siege of flu for
several days this past week, but

that we appreciate our helpers
even more when we are without
them.
Father Patrick ]. Murphy, pastor

church at Casa Grande, wishes
and is working hard to give Coo
lidge a church worthy of it and
something of which the community
can be proud despite any diff

Father Murphy says: "The
Catholic church is open to all at
all times and the priest is always
there TO serve all no matter what
their creed or nationality. The
motto is: AN things to all men

A voter in Clifton was so
definitely Willkie and anti-Roose-
welt that he made it plain on his
ballot. He put an X in front of
Willkie and an X behind Willkie.
Opposite Roosevelt's name he
wrote H no." Several bal
lots were spoiled because the
voters checked all the names in
all party columns; others were
spoiled when the voter drew a
line through the Prohibition party
column. apparently assuming he
was preventing the return of pro-
hibition.
William r. Mathews. publisher
of the Arizona Daily Star, gave an
excellent Armistice day address
here Monday. His speech was
anything but rosy as regards the
international situation and United
States involvement therein are
concerned, but nevertheless one
can't help but give him a hand for
his direct and analytical approach.
Mathews has correctly forecast
about all the European develop
meuts in the last two years, so
one can't sit back and call him an
alarmist.
Talk about lucky timing, Just
ask Carl Anderson of the us. ir-
rigation service here. Mr.. Ander-
son returned to the office about s
O'Clock Saturday evening in time
To scare away a would-be burglar
who scurried off leaving his tools
in front of the safe. Had Mr.. An
derson entered the building sooner
he might have been a target for
the thug attempting to escape.
Had he returned later-well the
service could have lost a little
more than a dollar in cash on
hand. Mr.. Anderson declares. The
man entered the building through
the basement window.
The Days of '49" suffered a
cold weather setback Sunday and
Monday which put a damper on
the celebration to a certain eX-
tent. According to the news it
was really cold back in the mid
west what with snow drifts and 5S
mile an hour winds and people
suffering, so we should consider
ourselves fortunate even though
the attendance for the big days
was cut down.
| came to Coolidge about five
weeks. ago, and during that time
have made the acquaintance of
many local people. However, it
appears that | will have to get
acquainted over again with the
men | have met since the Days
of 40" boards are being shaved
off and the men are wearing diff
ferent faces
Dan Dulin thinks it is more
profitable to serve chicken than
TO fight 'em. His favorite cock

molished in Sundays fights. From
