" HIS Dan McGarry is engaged to his girl
Kitty for five months, and he is seeing

dinnertime, at her house. So after all this time
it is only natural that he thinks he knows her
pretty well. He is not one to probe around

her eyes and looks down her nose like she is

Kitty's being Jealous of big timer like
Mona is not as out-of-line as you'd think,
because Mona is local girl originally and a
real good friend of Dan - if you can call a
pug -nosed kid who makes faces at you in the
school playground good friend. Dan is very
proud because he is in sixth grade with
Mona, and he tells so often how he once rubs
her oomph face in the snow and snaps
rubber band at the back of her oomph neck,
that Kitty gets tired of hearing it. But it is
only when Mona is to make her triumphant
visit from Hollywood that Kitty sounds off

Dan sticks his neck way, way out. "Oh,
it isn't just her face" he says.
Kitty does some lip-biting. Il suppose you

From what l read, you'd better keep an

Dan is only half right about the crowd at

instead of five. including the Commissioner,
himself, batting for the Mayor because His
Honor is sick. 1t is quite an occasion, with the
Commissioner in his silk topper and striped
pants and the crowd milling around with
their autograph books. When Mona and her
gang are spotted coming along the carpet
from the train, the big push begins, and there
is such noise you cannot hear the Com

j. J. Bugg Announces
For Reelection

The announcement of the can
didacy of John ]. Bugg for re-elec-
ton to the office of County School
Superintendent appears in the
column of political announcements
on another page of this paper. In
making his announcement, Mr..
Bugg's statement is brief. He said:
This office is one which there
should be no consideration other
than the welfare of the schools.
What might be said about my
candidacy is unimportant but
what has been accomplished dur
ing my tenure as school superin-
tendent is of extreme importance
to every parent and taxpayer in
the county.
For that reason it seems proper
at this time to omit personal mat
ters, and campaign promises, but
during the weeks 10 come, as tne
opportunity permits, information
will be given to the voters of the
county relative to the progress
made in the county's educational
system and the present status of
our schools. At this time, however.
the public's attention is called to
the fact that all records of the of
flee are open for inspection and
all interested citizens are invited
to examine them.
"It is a genuine pleasure to
serve Pinal County in this capacity
and | should like to express my
appreciation for the confidence
shown me in this place of trust
and the liberal cooperation of one
and ALL"

Provides Entering
Wedge For
Greater Reservoir

The Interior Department appro-
priation bill, including $60,S37, 900
for reclamation projects in western
states for the year beginning July
1st, was signed by President Ro-
osevelt June II, and makes avail
able 100000 for the Indian Bureau
to investigate the feasibility of the
proposed s9,OO0,00O Buttes Dam on
the San Carlos Project Is miles
east of Florence The Buttes dam,
when completed, will impound
thousands of acre feet of irriga-
ton water now flowing on down to
the Colorado and on to the Gulf
of Lower California. 1t will make
the San Carlos irrigation project a
richer and more productive area,
and will be acclaimed the saliva
ton of the poject.
During congressional hearings on
the item, Albert L. Wathen, Indian
bureau irrigation chief, testified
preliminary studies indicated the
dam was "both feasible and de-
sirable."
He said the proposal was to con-
struct the dam on the Gila river
below the confluence of the San
Pedro river and the Gila.
Largest single item was $23,6OO-
600 for the Central Valley project
in northern and central California.

Workers May File
Old-age Insurance

Workers can file claims for old
age and survivors insurance at age
SIS or any time thereafter whether
or not they plan to retire, Manager
Stuart Anderson of the Social Sc
curity Board 8 Tucson Field Office
said here today.
He explained however, that in
surance payments will not be made
to any worker as long as he is
employed-that is, the worker will
not receive an insurance payment
for any month in which he earns as
rnuch as SIS on a job covered by
the law. Manager Anderson ex-
planned that workers age 65 or
older who are planning to file
claim for insurance payments
should consult the field office on
TWO separate points. First, the
employee may not have worked
enough tO De ciiS loi CSA
but If he continues to work he may
gnalify later. Any worker VINO
plans to retire in order to get his
insurance payments should inquire
whether he is eligible before
quitting his job.
The second point on which MI.
Anderson advises workers of 65 or
more to consult the local office IS
concerned with the amount OF
workers benefits. He explained
that the amount of each EN-
plovee's benefit will be determined
I bv the monthly average of wages
he has received under the system
prior to the time he applies for
benefits, whether Or not he con-
| tinues to work. In some instances
where the employee continued to
work, the amount of his beneflt
would be increased if he waits ana
files his claim later In other
cases where the employee Is
j working at lower wage than
formerly, it might be to his ad'
vantage to file his claim at once.

Safeway Markets
Will Offer Prize
Winning Beef

PriZe-winning tender beef from
1O4 Arizona granted steers, fat
tened by the University of Ari-
zona Farm in the Valley of the
Sun, will be offered to the public
for sale at all Safeway Markets
throughout the state during the
week beginning July 1. it was an
nounced today by Mr.. |. E. Jag
gers, district manager of Safeway
Stores. The steers were purchased
by Tovrea's for Safeway at the
University Farms annual public
auction. After being processed,
these blue ribbon beefs are being
thoroughly aged in the Tovrea air
conditioned coolers.
Each year the University or
Arizona selects 90 head of steers
from each of the the best private
ly owned herds in all sections OF
the state. The best ten out OF
each 90 are then shipped to the
University Extension Farm and
put on feed. The type of feed and
rate of grain. and other factors
connected with the fattening OF
beef cattle, are carefully record
ed. When the steers are ready to
be processed, they are sold at
public auction. This year the en-
tire lot was purchased for Safe
way.
The growing recognition extend
ed nationally to the quality and
tenderness of Western Grain-Fed
Beef. is a tribute to home pro-
duct which admits of no superior
in the nation and of which the
people of Arizona have reason to
be proud.
ut is because of the high quail
tv of this Arizona Grain-Fed Beef
that Safeway is willing to make
its famous 'Money-Back Guaran
tee -, says Mr.. Jaggers. I'VE are
so certain that this is the bes'
beef money can buy that we re
fund the full purchase price un
less the customer is completely
satisfied"
One of the principal industries
of Arizona, live stock producing in
wolves thousands of ranchers
farmers, professors and market
men. There seems to be no reason
today why Western Grain-Fed Bee
bred by Arizona ranchers and fec
on Arizona grain, should not take
, its rightful place for quality anc
tenderness at the very top II
comparison with beef produced
anywhere in the United States.

School District WPA has been
almost year in working out
these two school projects.
The following shrubbery has
been purchased to be transplant
planted around the new school:
White. yellow, pink. and yellow
red Lantana have been purchased
TO provide the border for the front
walk entrance way. This will be
supplemented by two Italian Cy-
press planted on each side OF the
entrance and by a Myrtle hedge at
the side of each fan of the walk
and two arborvitaes.
Along the wall between the win
dows will be planted Cassia, Con-
toneaster, and Italian Cypress. Be
meath the window ledge will be
planted dwarf Myrtle and other
dwarf shrubbery that will not grow
higher than the window ledge.
Along the walls at the end OF

lawns.
on the eastern end of the play
ground will be planted Rudis
Eyucalyptus trees. At the north
entrance way will be planted two
silk oaks.

Peat moss is being substituted to
hold the moisture around the root
systems. Fertilizer will be mulch
ed in from the top thus prevent
ing heating around the roots OF the
plants.

pole is of sufficient height that it
may be seen from the street
entrance and it is also in posi-
tion to be ssen by all children as
