the first undefeated season since
Coolidge high has had football
team.
Coach Edgar Ford states that
his proteges are in fair shape for
the game, but that he expects as
tough competition as the Bears
have faced this season in view OF
the fact that Casa Grande has
been improving in every game
while Coolidge has had some close
calls with their latest opponents
except Ajo.
The Valley conference champion
ship has been clinched regardless
of the outcome of the game at
Casa Grande, but Coolidge cannot
lose to Casa Grande if it expects to
claim the undisputed title in the.
East Central conference standings.
A victory for Coolidge or even a
tie will give the Bears a clear
claim to the championship. A loss
to Casa Grande. will result in a
tie for first place with the
Cougars t.f.f ~ a1'
Scoring in the first two minutes
of play the Bears led 7 to 0 at
halftime in their game at Chandler
last Wednesday night, and then
played on even terms during the

Fire inspection
Starred Here To
Aid Department
Herman Libkind Prepares
Inspectors Report For
Hazards

Striving toward further effici-
cency in the work of the
Coolidge Volunteer Fire depart
ment, a survey of Coolidge busi-
ness houses and residences will be
started soon
The three members of the de-
partment who are authorized by
law to make inspection for fire
hazards are Chief J. R. Snider,
Assistant Chief Kye Mcmillan and
Capt. Herman Libkind, who is also
the chief fire inspector and who
probably will do most of the in
specting.
Mr.. Libkind interviewed the fire
department at Tucson pertaining
to methods of surveying fire
hazards in a community, and has
prepared a fire inspectors report
which each business man and resi-
dence owner or renter will be
asked to fill out. This is expected
to aid the department considerably
in case a fire breaks out.
A surprise fire drill for mem
bers of the department brought
them out at 8 am. last Thursday.
The fire company rushed to the
scene of the blaze in northwest
Coolidge to find it only a vacant
lot bonfire, started as means Of
seeing how quickly the department
could act.
This fire, the farthest run the
department will have to make,
was reached in II minutes. The
boys had to lay $50 feet of hose,
which is also maximum amount
from any fire hydrant to a pos
sible fire in Coolidge.
At the fire meeting Monday
night the question of how far the
department is authorized by law
to make a run was brought out,
and this detail is being studied
so the department will know
definitely the jurisdiction in which
it can legally operate.
