deserted tomorrow night when tn
local high school football team
and its followers travel to Cas-;

season. The Bears have wor

expects to blot this perfect record
Coolidge has a good chance tC
come through with a clean slate
and we're expecting the boys to
but not without playing their best
football of the year.
Speaking of football, every
team, high school, college or uni
versity has its grudge opponent
dating back to the ancient Har-
vardYale series when the victori
Gus side carried it's enthusiasm
home along with the goal posts.
The Harvard-Yale game, although
there are teams ranking higher,
still is a great contest. That is
proved by the many Harvard
Yale clubs who meet all over the
nation to listen to the annual
radio or telegraphic broadcasts.
Last Saturday was included in
this group, meeting in Tucson at
the Santa Rita as the guest OF
Joe Golden of Coolidge. who
earned his Harvard sheepskin
with the class of 81. Joe wants
it known that Harvard won, %
to 0.
Business has dropped off at the
jail here and it is attributed to
better behavior, not lack of law
enforcement. Kye Mcmillan,
deputy sheriff, says last Saturday
was the first Saturday during this
time Of the year that the Jail has
been empty in five years,
Maybe it looked crazy to some
folks to call the fire department
out at am. Thursday to ex-
tinguish a mere bonfire blaze, es-
pecially with Thursday being
Thanksgiving and most of the
boys looking forward to that extra
sleep they were going to get. Even
though the department functioned
efficiently, several noticeable de-
fects in the drill were pointed out
by the leaders who claim that
such a drill under pressure will
help them improve their technique
for use when it is really needed!
Perhaps they were not intentional
violators of the law, but those
who drove cars across the fire
hose are subject to a $50 fine,
and are urged by the department
to observe this regulation next
time.
Mrs. r. d. Huston, Examiner
correspondent from the Resettle-
ment Camp of the Casa Grande
Valley Farms, Inc, had to give up
her work on this paper for lack
of time. Mrs. Huston was good
correspondent and we appreciate
her work; also her securing a
capable successor, Miss Ruth
Wright. who will carry on with
the news of our neighbors on the
east.
Many from all over the state
will be here Sunday for the dedi-
cation services of the st. James
Catholic church. Coolidge people
are invited to attend any or all
of the services even though invi-
tations were not mailed to local
people. Father P. J. Murphy is
taking this means of inviting all
to attend.
