Old Postmaster Began
As Express Rider AT IL
(By Associated Press)

BENSON, Ariz., June Is
Leonard D. Redfield recently
started on his 45th year as post
master here.
Redfield actually began his
postal career as a pony express
rider at the age of IL. He was
originally appointed postmaster
by President Grover Cleveland
on March II, 1896.
When Redfield was IL, his ia
Their resigned as postmaster at
Redington in Pima county (Ariz)
to handle, at the request of the
government, pony express mail
from Tres Almos to Riverside,
now both extinct. The distance
was 2l8 miles and trips were
made twice weekly.
The elder Redfield found that
grown men riding his speedy but
sslight-built steeds were killing
them off and putting a nick in
profits which he anticipated from
the governments contract. So
he drafted his son for the job.
Redfield admits he was scared
aplenty" in crossing the rough,
unbroken country in the old
days.

JUST PLAIN DAD
By ALBERT G. ROBERTS

The war in Europe has devas-
tated millions of dollars of mate
rial wealth; but more significant
is the fact millions of men lie in
mud soaked battlefields. AS yet
they are not American boys, but
nevertheless, they are our fellow
men. 1--WE are our brothers
keeper.
Today, how many children
with eyes red from weeping,
stand and beg for just a crumb OF
bread? Our hearts are torn with
emotion for these little ones, be-
cause even when the peace is re-
stored these waits have no family
provider.
In America we still have
peace and we are rushing our de-
lenses to provide security. May
your Dad, mine and every one
else's Dad awake the acute threat
lowering over our shores. The
moment one of his children be-
comes i'll or is threatened with
dangers he will spring to the de-
Tense. To the Dads and fathers
on this day we plead for their
common-sense guidance through
the war-hysteria sweeping our
nation. To the fathers who went
through the hell of 1917 and 1918
l ask are you waiting to see your
son snatched away to some for
eign battlefield You would
curse that son if he refused to
give his life for the good, old
United States, but is he to give it
to the blunders of European pre-
miers, chancellors or prime min
listers? Sherman said. ''War is
HELP, but he had not seen the
bombers of today. There is no
battle front today.
We listened to assurances of
non-intervention. We passed en-
bargoes, we assured our mothers
and fathers our boys were safe,
but the road is open now. Bomb
ers, planes of all types, rifles, can
non and even rumors of wartime
destroyers to follow and God only
knows when our youth will fol-
low.
This country should be like
France; the members of the
Chamber of Deputies go to the
'front.' possibly if the men who
declare war had to go they would
be more considerable.
Fathers, give your energy to
providing for an impregnable ma
tional defense but the youth of
America, your sons. plead with
you to help them from foreign
battlefields in Europe. On this
day, resolve that your flesh and
blood will fight and die only for
American Democracy, its ideals,
institutions and tradition. To you
"Just Plain Dad, we make this
plea.
