The State Supreme court this
week decreed that Governor Os-
borns unemployment compensa-
tion commission violated the law
and played politics with the merit
system in it's recent custer of G.
B. Donaldson, executive director
of the commission. The unani-
nous opinion was written by Chief
Justice Alfred c. Lockwood. Mr..
Donaldson will receive his salary
back to Feb. 2S, the date of his
dismissal.
The decision, it is said, is ex-
pected to have an important bear
ing on the commissions Difficult
ties in ironing out disputes con-
cerning the dictatorship as well
as complying with the federal gov
ernment regulations and the new
law, which becomes effective June

ing, impression upon administra-
tionists.
Despite the activity of c. P.
Flynn, secretary of the Arizona
Federation of Labor, in lining up
with Governor Osborn's custer of
two state industrial commission
ers, number of labor leaders are
in sharp opposition to the attempt
ed removal.
They point out that the COVER
nor, aided by Flynn, is attempting
to remove a man who has carried
a paid up union card for more
than 80 years-Commissio Lynn
Lockhart-and replace him with a
man who has been a peace officer
for 80 years.
Mr.. LOckhart is a member of
Dewey Lodge, Brotherhood Of
Railroad Trainmen. He Joined in
Tucson more than 80 years ago,
and since his retirement has kept
his card up to date. He exhibited
his card for June, 1941, to this
column. All of Mr.. Lockhart's
work on the rails was in Arizona.
While Commissioner L. G. (Carl)
Holmes, another intended victim
of the gubernatorial custer, isn't
union man, it is further pointed
out that for many years prior to
his acceptance of an industrial
commission post, he was large
employer of labor. The governor
would supplant him with another
peace officer, who has been neith-
er a union man nor a large en-
ployer of labor.

With Arizona's state tax rate
threatening to be slightly upwards
of 50 per 800 Of assessed valua
ton, it is likely considerable at
tention will be given by taxpayers
to the preparation of local bud
gets.
Calculations on current govern
mental needs and the probable
1941 assessed valuation of the
state place the forthcoming rate
at s2.053, which probably will call
for s2O6 rate, according to sta
tistical experts.
This computation anticipates re-
version OF social security board

"A terminal reservoir site essential

Frequent mention was made of

site. John c. Page, reclamation
commissioner, said a power plant
at Bridge Canyon could produce
from 100000 to 100000 kilowatts.

Some of those watching the DO
lltical parade at the statehouse,
including the columnist-c colonel
William Turnbow of the Phoenix
Gazette are becoming skeptical
over the possibility of special
session.
Despite all the public state
ments made by the governor, in
which he limited at special ses

there's call coming up until his
excellency actually issues it.
A lone report, however, emanat

for June 8, or at least for the fol

The Coolidge Examiner,
Coolidge, Arizona
Dear Mr.. Wrenn:
In our business, like most others, it is
seldom we know when a product we sell
does a remarkably good job and, quite to
the contrary, we practically always hear
loud and long about the occasional prod
uct which fails to satisfy.
For these reasons we are taking this
opportunity of writing you to tell of the
very fine results we obtained from Exam
iner advertising in the sale of Goodrich
Tires, Tubes, Batteries, Bicycles and Ra-
dios during our May sale which ended Sat-
urday, May 81.
Our results and sales were very graft
flying and for the first time we believe we
reached through the Examiner nearly 100
per cent of the buying public residing with
in the trade area of Coolidge and you may
rest assured that your newspaper is going
to receive our 100 per cent support.
Very truly yours,

NEGRO LIKES SMALL
CHANGE FOR HIS CAPITAL

Picked up by sheriff David Ran
dolph, on West Main Street, Elkton,
Md, on suspicion of being a fugitive
from justice, young negro man who
gave his name as Alfred Williams,
of Pittsburg, Pa, is still battling the
authorities. On Williams person was
found over SAG in cash, all in dimes,
nickels and cents. Upon being ques-
toned all the negro would say that
he got part of it in a crap game and
part of it from playing the number
game. The authorities, however, be-
lieve he might have broken into some
road house. Several such places in
Delaware and Maryland are known
to have been robbed recently. The
Delaware authorities have been to
see if they could identify him with
being connected with any robberies
in that State, but without success.
Unless something more is learned
about the prisoner in a few days, he
will probably be released.

COLCHESTER COMPANY
AGITATING NEW FERRY

Officials of the Colchester Com
pany were in Chestertown on We'd
nesday of last week in the interest
Of establishing a fast ferry service
from Colchester to Bay Shore. The
officials stated that the company has
purchased the ferry boat Howard
Jackson" to be used on the route
which would be a run of less than
an hour allowing at least four round
trips a day. Their proposal is for
the company to establish pier at
Bay Shore, using the pier formerly
used by the Rock Hall ferry, do nee
essary dredging, furnish the ferry
boat and make alterations to the Toll
chester pier. They request the State
to grant subsidy of $4,000 a year
for the next two years, build road
to the pier at Bay Shore and alter
the approach to the Colchester pier.
A number of Chestertown business
men signed their petition. The Toll
chester Company is now receiving a
subsidy of $4,000 a year.

CHICKS BUYERS
ARE WARNED TO
WATCH PRICES

Prospective purchasers of baby
chicks are warned to watch the price
tag, because the old adage, "you u.s.
ually get what you pay for" is just
as true in buying baby chicks as it is
with any other commodity, according
to Charles Williams of the University
of Maryland Poultry Department. He
says that too many poultrymen place
price before quality-to their regret
later on.
Mr.. Williams points out that a
quality chick is one which is strong,
sturdy, Matched in sanitary surround
ings, free from pullorum disease and
produced by bred-to-lay stock. Chicks
of this type are produced from we'll
shaped eggs, weighing "a ounces per
dozen, and come from parent stock
that is vigorous, pullorum-tested,
true-to-type, and bred for production.
Advantages. of high quality chicks
are that they have higher Inability,
make more rapid growth, have less
mortality in the laying house, and
have greater egg production and lar
ger eggs.
Mr.. Williams recommends buying
chicks from a breeder or hatchery
man who describes his birds modestly
and does not try to impress his GUS
toner with a glamorous catalog. He
also recommends buying from local
producers and from those whose
flocks are under the supervision of an
official state agency. Do not be too
impressed by a low price-good
chicks usually sell for from to 18
cents.
Names of hatcherymen in Mary
land who are producing high quality
chicks may be obtained from your To-
cal county agent, instructor in voca-
tional agriculture, or the University
of Maryland Poultry Department, Col
lege Park, Md.

4-H CLUB GIRLS
IN A BRAND
NEW ACTIVITY

Mothers, aunts and grandmothers
all remember the adage about a
stitch at the right time. Well, it's
gone modern and this is the new YER
sion: "Sew, crochet and knit to look
ones best-and fit" And that's
what All Club girls in this State will
be doing in brand new activity-the
National All Clothing Achievement
competition. to be directed by the ex-
tension service.
The new program promises to keep
the girls keyed up with high interest
as it teaches them to coordinate skill
and art in designing, cutting and sew
ing garments through use of the very
latest practices. 1t also helps them
to dress appropriately and BEAUTIFULLY
within the family budget, and to en-
courage making wearing apparel by
crocheting, knitting and other needle
craft arts.
The girls also will be given credit
for making exhibits and participating
in public demonstrations of their
handiwork, as we'll as Judging that
of others. The program thereby af-
fords clubsters, in addition to the
chance to win county, state and ma
tional awards provided by the Spool
Cotton Company, the opportunity to
earn money through sales and dis
plays of their work.
County winners will receive gold
medals and each recipient Of state
honors will be given an all-expense
trip to the National All Club Con-
gress in Chicago next November, to
participate ip the finals. Six educa-
tional scholarships of 5000 each will
be presented to a blue award group
comprising one winner from each ex-
tension section and two at large.

Boys Harder to Rear

Most parents of boys and girls
seem to think boys are the harder to
rear. Psychologist Peck studied ia
problem boys and 81 problem girls
who had such problems as lying,
stealing, gambling, swearing, drink
ing, bullying, inattention, restless
ness, tattling, stubbornness. The
average number of these problems
among the boys was Ala per boy
and 81 per girl. However, more
than twice as many boys as girls
were badly maladjusted and tangled
up in their behavior.

Price Of Gasoline Is Raised In Waterbury
Local Gas Stations Increase It By One Cent; Stations Will Close on Sunday Afternoon at p. m.
 Until Next Morning

Local gas stations today began placing a one-cent price increase into effect ard were preparing to ex- pertinent with Sunday afternoon closing, as voted last night at a meeting of the Waterbury Gasoline Retailers association. The stations will close from 1 p. m. Sunday to 2 8. m. Monday. beginning this week. end. At another meeting to be held soon after Labor Day the dealers will decide whether to continue the Sum- day afternoon shutdown or to close all day Sunday. At the meeting last night, considerable sentiment was voiced for an all-day sales ban on Sunday but the afternoon closing was voted as an experiment.
 The dealers voted price scale of I9 cents for regular gas and 2l.5 for premium gas. Some stations had not put the boost into effect, to day, but George F. Gaughal, association secretary, said they would probably do so very soon.
 Supplies Dwindling
 Station operators reported that their supplies are rapidly dwindling and expressed fear that major short ages may develop before Labor Day, Sept. 1, to hamper the weekend plans of many motorists. One sta ton was selling only two gallons to a customer, while another was lim- iting its sales to three gallons. 9th CTS may have to follow suit.
