The Patagonia Road Dedication

Nogalians who drive to Patagonia Monday night
to attend the ceremonies dedicating the new stretch
Of oiled highway between that community and the
east boundary of the Circle Ranch will see con-
crete example of the results of civic work corporations
For years residents Of Nogales and Patagonia
have fought for good highway between their re-

crowned with first-class oiled route that makes the
drive between these two points possible in less than
half an hour
New trade will come into Nogales from Pata-

ed trade from Nogaes The drive from the border to
Patagonia is of the most scenic in the entire state
and scores of Nogaans will find delight in visiting
that picturesque little community each month now
that an excellent oiled highway connects the two
points.
Civic and governmental groups that worked for
the oiling of the route, namely the Chamber Of Com

continued efforts we certain it will not be long

A Witness For Immigrants

In times Of crisis, feeling against immigrants
rises in the United States It is rising today despite
the fact that numerically there haven't been any i'm
migrants to amount to anything for more than 10
years.
Leaving aside the fact that all Americans are
immigrants or the descendants Of immigrants it is
we'll to consider with unusual care in times like these
whether the renewed prejudice against immigrants
has any basis.
Aside from the obvious examples, the Thomas
Manns, the Albert Einsteins, the Senator Wagners,
the Caudette Coberts, the Judge Pecoras, who come
instantly to mind it is worth noting that the "most
heroic family of 1941," picked by the Chicago Union
League Club, was that Of George Cascno. Coming to
America as youth, Cascino reared family Of five
highly successful children laborer's pay which
was often only $95 month, and kept them clean and
respectable though he had to them in blighted
neighborhood The clubs citation of the Cascinos is
rebuke to all who harbor undue prejudice against
immigrants 1t was:

By-Products In Our Preparedness
Program

War has been described as international waste,
because of the destruction involved In men and ma
terial.
However, there going to be by-products in
our preparedness program that may in the end prove
to be an excellent dividend payer well the big
gest insurance deal this country has ever known.
America was startled the other day when Presi-
dent Roosevelt made public reports from the War
Department to the effect that fifty per cent of the
young men drawn for military service found to
be unable to meet the far from eXactng specifications
for soldiers. We have always had the idea that
American youth a picture of health, athletic
prowess and strength of all Sorts Yet here on the
first test find that million youngsters are not up
to standard Some of the disabilities are severe and
acute, some are trfling After preliminary survey
it was Indicated that some 100000 of these physically
unfit lads can be reconditioned within few weeks
It might be matter of mere attention by dent1st,
simple operation or few doses Of medicine that is
required In other cases rehabilitation might be a
matter of months
The Army naturally cannot afford to enlist in
valids either present or prospective Army routine,
though it puts no impossible burden trained sol
diers is far too strenuous for those with physcal
flaws collapse by these involves disqualification in
War Department institutions which in turn demands
the services of the Orderes nurses, etc. so the plan
has been adopted to have those slightly deficient
treated by their dentists doctors under the SUI
pervison of the Army Medical Boards, The Govern
ment will pay these private practitioners for the ex-
pense involved which is calculated to be far less than
what it would be if the Government itself undertook
the conditioning The final result goes further than
the mere curing of the individuals directly concerned
though putting hundreds of thousands of young men
back into physical shape is in itself small national
asset.
The disclosure of the huge percentage OF alllng
people who, IN many cases even did not know tney
were ailing starts study of health conditions that
will correct this vast amount of physical deficiency

careful attention should be gwen to the arrangement of the major equipment, the refrigerator, range, sink, and the dishwasher. These units have a definite relationship to one another and, in conjunction with storage cabinets and work sur- faces, form complete kitchen. Around each enc of these basic units the grouping of cabinets and counters makes complete division which forms a work center.
 A Kitchens Work Cepters
 The three work oenters of the kitchen are the storage and prepa- ration center, the cleaning center and the cooking and serving cen ter. Surveys have been made of the steps and motions required ir the preparation of thousands os receipts and menus and this has re suited in determining the wisest arrangements cf these work centers The storage and preparation center surrounding the electric refrigerator is most convenient if it is placed along with the refrigerator near the service entrance to the kitchen, fo. food is brought into the kitchen and stored at this point. The clean ing center, with the sink and elcc- tric dishwasher as it's hub, should Ee placed adjacent tc the storage center since water is required fo~ most food preparation. This center has dual purpose since it also is used for dishwashing and garbage disposal It is recommended thal the sink, flanked with work sur faces, should be placed between the refrigerator and the electric range The third major work center of the kitchen is the cooking and serving center, with the electric range at the focal point, where dishes may be assembled for table service. This center should be near the entrance tc the dining room. By following this general sequence, kitchen may be designed that will reduce to minimum the number of steps necessary in preparing and serv- ing family meals.
 Arrangements tc be Desired
 There are several desirable ar engagements for kitchens but the ideal enc is the U-shaped plan. IT. many cases this arrangement can- rot be worked out due to the loca- tion of doors ana windows. The L shaped plan is also recommended and here two walls at right angles of each other are lined with equip ment. the one-wall layout is ad- visable in many kitchens Like the assembly room in a great factory. the ideal kitchen is now being plan ned 5tos reduce waste motion and to facilitate the logical routing of necessary tasks.

Bedspreads AreAIways
 Welcomed

A Christmas gift for the home is for many kinds of peo- ple-particularly for newly mar ried couple For these, nothing can be quite so appropriate as beau- tiful chenille bedspread All col- ors imaginable are available in these attractive pieces as well as a variety of designs The spreads are available in several qualities.
 An active youngster who would just as soon jump on his bed as sleep on it will be pleased to find an attractive rough-finish spread cn his bed. There are many oiffer- ent color combinations in hand woven type finishes with stripes. floral designs, and various stylized patterns.
 If you have young daughter or niece who wants to have a very feminine bedroom, give Ter a quilt ed spread. These spreads are made of floral designed cretonnes with yellow, blue, or pink back grounds. The part that covers the bed is quilted in an attractive de- sign, while the skirts falling over the edges are gathered for attrac- tive fullness.
 It's fun to give soft, warm blan- ket for Christmas, but the all-wool ones are too expensive for many budgets. Why not, then, give a rayen and wool blanket? These are available in soft colors, some with designs worked into the nap. All have we'll finished satin bind ings.

MANY TABLE STYLES FOR
 YOUR HOME

A particularly appropriate gift for a family whose home is de- signed in the eighteenth century style will be mahogany finished muffin stand. These are all made with three shelves and handle for carrying Various styles are available; among them is a very attractive stand with three clover shaped shelves all the same size.
 A smokers table which would be attractive anywhere is low round enc with mahogany finish There is a round, raised center which holds generous-sizeo ash tray with plenty of room left for smoking ac- cesseries and wood or china ani- mai from the homes collection.
 For the very modern home, noth- ing is so useful as a low utility table with a shiny glass top. Water fall edges add a smooth finish which is still quite modern, but a pleasing variation from the sharp edges often seen.
 A utility table which really lives up to it's name is an ideal gift for any home-loving family. A particu- larly useful one has smooth surface which is just the right height for table lamp Then 1t has several tiered shelves for va riety of magazines, a shelf under heath for more magazines or books, and a cupboard with all the room a smoker needs for his parapher- nalia.
 For the thrifty young lady on your Christmas list buy corner table which will fit snugly into any square corner which needs atten- tien. This type of table is just right for the modern house, for it is straight and plain with beau tifuI walnut finish.

CHRISTMAS SEASON
 CELEBRATED BEFORE CHRIST WAS BORN

Strange as it seems, the Christ mas season was celebrated long be- fore Christ was born Of course, it wasn't called Christmas then, but many religious and pagan ceremo- nies were held during the Christ mas period.
 This period is celebrated by the Jews as the Festival of Lights or Dedication. According to Jewish history, a large force of Maccabees defeated an army of Syrians in l65 iB. c. The victors began the work of purifying the desolate Jerusa- lem, completing their task on De- cember 25. The Jews have cele- brated the eight days previous to December 25 ever since that time
 The proximity of Christmas to the winter solstice caused many pagan ceremonies to be held during that period, In Scandinavian countries, great fires were kindled in the middle of December to defy the Frost King
 Centuries before this, the an- cient Druids of England observed this season in their roofless tenn pies. Torches blazed as strange ceremonies were performed, deal- ing with the cutting of the mistle- toe.
 Several accepted Christmas cus- toms of today originated with the old Roman celebration of Satur- nalia. The higher class of free Romans exchanged presents with their friends. Inside houses, can dles were lit and the rooms and halls adorned with laurel and green trees.
 These festivals in honor of the god Saturnus were started before that great empire. The pagans cell ebrated from December IT to "A in honor of their sun god. Among the slaves and lower classes, the cele- bration was transformed into un- restrained orgies.
 Even the ancient Egyptians cele- hrated the Midwinter festival Nea : the end of December they rejoiced over the birth of Horus, son of the gcd Isis.
 The last religious celebration to be held on Christmas day ap- peared in the middle of the fourth century A. D. At this time various dates assigned to the birth of Christ were examined; and the Catholic Church in Rcme proclaim cd December 25 to. be Christmas.

The water provides needed moisture and the sugar nour'shes the needles. giving them strength to hold longer.
