guests and speakers at Coolidge
Rotary club yesterday noon.
Mr.. Southworth, former engi-

creased appropriations for irriga-
ton purposes in Arizona while
Mr.. Giordano told of his activi-
ties in bringing playground facil-
tiles to the Resettlement project
east of Coolidge.
A demonstration of what future

Cowboy Will
Live Due To
Spartan Courage

Woodrow Gordon, Florence cow
boy employed on the Wayne Tay-
lOr ranch, who was so severely
burned July 18th that doctors de-
SPARED of his life, now has bet
ter than an even chance of re-
covery, they state.
His is a story of personal cour-
age rare in the annals of medical
experience and is spoken of with
Sincere respect by those who
have witnessed his battle for life.
Gordon was refueling one of the
several gasoline pumps used on
the large ranch to pump water for
cattle when a sudden explosion
drenched him with flaming gas.
Miles from a ranch house or hut
man aid, Gordon dived into the
cattle tank and afterwards, hor-
ribly burned, retained conscious
ness through sheer force of will
and drove 80 miles to the hospital
at Florence, where his agonize1
cries brought assistance as he
reached its doors.
Today, after blood transfusions
and every aid that medical sci
ence can bring to bear, 1t is be-
lieved that Woodrow Gordon will
live.

Inventive KIDS
ERECT MILK CAN
CLUBHOUSE HERE

Palm thatched huts may be all
right for South Sea Islanders, but
the children of Coolidge believe In
sturdier constitution, as evidenced
by the neighborhood clubhouse
they are building in Mrs. T. B.
Nelson's back yard on Borree
Avenue.
The walls of this unusual edi-
flee, which is two-thirds complet-
ed, are made entirely of milk cans
laid on their sides with the small
resultant spaces filled solidly with
adobe. Milk cans are used be-
cause these are opened with two
small holes, leaving the cans 9TH
erwise intact. The thickness of
the walls correspond to the length
CT milk can laid on its side and
the effect achieved, both inside
and out, is that of hundreds Of
silver discs shining in uniform
rows against an adobe back
ground.
The door frame is up and two
window frames have been set In
tc the structure, that is approxi-
mately eight feet square. Dis
carded automobile seats make
benches along the wall and. some
how, shelves have been firmly at
tached to the wall to hold the
clubs china. A tarpaulin at pres
ent covers the top Of the club
house, but a permanent roof is to
be put on as soon as the builders
get that far, and the adults have
promised to furnish them proper
glass windows.
1t all came about, Mrs. Nelson
says, because a house of adobe
was being built in the neighbor-
hood and the youngsters decided
to make one of their own, but dug
such large holes in the back yard
that she simply had to devise
some way to stop it. The milk
can clubhouse, of which her four
teen year old son James is fore
man of construction, is the re-
suit.

dominating were placed on the
table before her.

Hines and Fisher-Flsher-
men. That's the new title per-
sonaIly bestowed upon two d.
cipIes of Isaac Walton who re-
turned to Coolidge early this
week from an angling trip on
one of the forks of Blue river
deep in the heart of the White
Mountains.
while they tell tall tales OF
so many fish it became neces-
sary to MOIST them high with
block and tackle and back
truck beneath them for loading
and photography they still re-
turned sans fish despite most
convincing photograph to prove
their stories.
The intrepid fishermen, Jim
nv Hines and Karl Fisher
swear -hey Iured the finny den-
liens of the White Mountains
with nothing more than persu-
avie tIys, gracefully cast up
stream to be fIoated by their
unsuspecting prey. But, con-
sidering the size of the fish

somewhat skeptlcaI and, after
listening to their stories and

New Back-Lighted
Reptile Panels Are
Installed AT Ruins

Replacing a half dozen preserv
ed snake specimens in the Casa
Grande National Monument mu
scum. a back-lighted panel of nat
ural color photograph Transparent
cies of reptiles was installed this
week. The old specimens were
badly faded whereas the photo
graphs show the reptiles in their
true colors.
MANY persons are interested In
snakes and lizards" said A. T.
Bicknell custodian of Casa Grande
National Monument, "but very
few people know much about them
and a lot of what they think they
know is wrong. Many eastern
visitors to Arizona are afraid 20
go out into the desert because
they have heard that it is swarm
ing with rattlesnakes, Gila mon.
sters and other poisonous crea-
lures. Although our monument
preserves the remains of prehis-
toric ruins, and our work is main
ly to protect these ruins and to
tell our visitors the story (as far
as we know it, of the old build
ings and the people that made
! them, We also try to answer visi
tors questions about the many
other interesting things that are
present on the monument. The
preserved snake specimens in The
former reptile display in the mu
scum, besides being faded, proved
unpleasant to many people who
are naturally squeamish about
snakes. These difficulties have
been overcome by the natural-col
or photographs which will give Us
an opportunity to explain to visl
tors that the majority of the des
ert reptiles are harmless, and that
the poisonous varieties are not
numerous. The exhibit also ex
plains how the poison mechanisms

The new transparency panel is
the work of the National Park
Service Museum Laboratory at
Berkeley, California, and was
made up from natural color photo
graphs taken by Assistant Natur
alist Matt N. Dodge of the South
western National Monuments
Headquarters staff. Snakes are
hard to photograph because they
won't "stay putt, so Dodge slows
them down by cooling them OIL
for an hour or two in the refriger
ator before posing them in front
of the camera. There is no ad
mission charge to the Casa Grande

COUNTY HOSPITAL ONE OF MOST
MODERN IN STATE SERVES PUBLIC

One of the finest "surgerys" in
the state of Arizona is to be found
at Pinal County Hospital, COM
pleted February q, 1889, at Flor
ence. This cleaning operating
room with its modern, shadowless
cp-ray light, that defects the rays
from six overhead angle mirrors
to the particular point upon which
the surgeons attention Is center
ed, is only one of the latest gifts
of science made available to local
patients at Pinal County Hospital
OF which DR.. G. B. Steward is SUI
perintendent.
During the fiscal year ending
June 30th, 1871, the county hospl-
tai, under the administration OF
DIR. G.. B. Steward turned back to
the general fund of Pinal county
$18,S78.46 received from private
patients and if the value of hos
pital and medical services had
been charged at the regular rates
to county patients the institution
would have returned a tidy profit
to the county.
The walls of the operating room
are tiled in green halfway, that
ends in a contrasting border from
which the remainder of the wall
and ceiling blend in tones OF
ivory. Light pours into the room,
softly, through sectional, buff-pan-
ed glass that forms the entire up
per half of the west wall. Clean
| ing instruments are in spotless
glass cases and shining metal ac-
coutrements are in readiness near
the adjoining sterilizing room.
A tour of the hospital with Mrs.
Beatrice H. Davis. superintendent
of nurses, who has been on the
county hospital staff eight years,
takes one past the nursery, where
visitors look through wall of
glass at the newly arrived babies,

rically arrangedl cribs. Every

fingers at this window, but only
the nurses in their spotless uni
forms are allowed inside. There
are nine cribs in the nursery,
where the babies are cared for
the first 10 days of their lives.
After that, if they remain in the
hospital, they occupy pediotratic
beds in the nursery for children
IL days to years. These special
ly made beds give the growing
children room In which to move
about. Babies in the infants nur-
sery, that is kept at a tempera'
ture between 7S and IS continu'
ously, are taken to their mothers
at periodical feeding times.
Four months ago Florence Wom
ans Club presented the hospital
with an incubator, which has been
used on several occasions since
Before that, premature babies
were cared for by imprOvised
means.
The hospital has four Shed
wards with two baths for each
ward, and seven private rooms
Those for two patients each have
connecting baths, and rooms fol
single patients have private baths
The hospital accommodates As pa
tients and has a staff of nine
nurses on eight hour duty.
In every way possible the "hos
pital atmosphere" has been mini
mized through use of bedroom
suites and the carrying out o
color schemes in candle-wick bee
spreads, draperies and pictures

psychology is at its efficient best
here.
The wards are likewise attrac-
tive and even the nurses do not
know which are county or private
patients. No difference is made
in the care or food they receive,
the latter being served from a
modernly equipped hospital kitch'
en- with steam table, electric dish
washer, huge frigidaire and range,
from which the food is placed on
tray carts with shelves accommo-
dating Is trays, to insure delivery
while food is appetizingly fresh
from oven, or ice box.
The nurses dining-room is fur
nished in Monterey with colorfEl
drapes and, when possible, fresh
flowers on the table. 1t is a
room such as one would find in
any home of good taste-a place
in which to relax and enjoy ones
meals.
The hospital is equipped with
Venetian blinds throughout.
There is a surgery utility room
for supplies, an x-ray room, a
special room for clinic work,
where DIR. Steward examines and
treats an average of 80 county
patients a day. In addition, the
hospital has it's own drug room
where doctors prepare immediate
ly needed prescriptions, modern
delivery room, and a much needed
doctors rest room off the surgery,
equipped with showers, lockers
and comfortable chairs in which

The hospital grounds have been
laid out in a spacious lawn, with
palm trees lending a semi-troplcal
air. while flower beds border the
walk and add to the general at
tractiveness of the whole.
Any doctor is welcome, says Dr.
Steward. to bring his patients to
the hospital.

high seas is threatening the life
line between the United States
and its Allies in the defense of
democracy; and
WHEREAS, the President of the
United States has pledged about
aid to our Allies under the lend
lease bill passed by Congress, and
has declared that these supplies
and this necessary equipment will
be delivered: and
WHEREAS, the resumption and

icy of Freedom of the Seas is the
most important matter before the
Government and the People of

and
WHEREAS, there is grave lack
of information and understanding
among our people of the serious
ness of the situation, of this
threat to our country and our in
stitutions, and

positive national policy of elimi-
mating Axis Piracy by whatever
means are necessary.
1t is our hope that our people,
during VICTORY IN THE AT
LANTIC WEEK" will frequently
gather to discuss this important
problem: that they will hold

suppress Axis Piracy on the seas,
To assure the delivery of supplies
to our Allies and to thereby
make certain the defeat of the
enemies of democracy and free
dom.
