To Examine 125
For Service In
Florence Sunday

Selection of Pinal county regis
trants for service with the army
was stepped up to a definitely ac-
celebrated pace this week as orders
went out for 125 men to report to
Florence Sunday for physical ex-
animation.
The selectees, all of whom pass
are expected to receive their orders
this month, will be examined by
a number of doctors from Phoenix
because four of Pinal county's
doctors are at present out of the
county.
Increased demand from army of
ficials for more and more men to
swell the ever growing ranks of
the nations armed forces is re-
sponsible for the order for mass
physical examining Sunday.

40 MILE WAR
SPEED SET on
STATE ROUTES
Pearl Harbo,

Pinal county motorists have been
asked TO drive their cars and
trucks at a speed not exceeding 40
miles per hour by the state high
way department which early this
week posted large signs reading
War Speed, 40 Miles" throughout
the county.
Members of the highway patrol
and other law enforcement officers
are expected TO issue warnings al
first TO those who violate the re-
quest for reducing highway speed
In nationwide cooperative move
ment TO conserve rubber and gaso-
line.
This does not constitute the set
ting of a state speed limit of 40
miles per hour" said w r. Hutch.
ins. state engineer I'VE are go
ing to see how these signs are
observed first.
These signs are warning signs.
They are being erected with the
approval OF the state highway
commission which was given some
two weeks ago.
"A 40-mile speed limit, or any
rigid speed limit is something
which has to be studied carefully.
Busses cannot cruise at that speed
and make their schedules. be-
lieve if trucks carrying war sup
plies were held TO that speed there
would be proper protest from those
charged with the success of the
war effort.
From my observation, traffic
is slowing itself down. | have had
word from neighboring states that
their officials urgently have asked
motorists to cut their speed in the
interest of conserving rubber and
gasoline, but few states anywhere
are setting a rigid 40-mile or other
similarly restrictive limit"
The signs currently being posted
are temporary in character, made
of heavy composition wood.
