Change of Coolidge
School Time Proves
Disappointment Here

The new Pacific Coast time
schedule recently adopted for
Coolidge schools during the win
ter months has not been found
TO be the comfort for early risers
that was expected.
II is better for the rural school
children who use busses, said w.
ID. Kirby. superintendent OF
Coolidge schools, but not for the
teachers. who find themselves
rising at the previously accustom-
ed hour of Mountain time and
thereby working an hour longer
each day. However, Pacific
coast time has not been put to a
real test here yet. Mr.. Kirby be
lieves. THAT will come when
our weather turns cold and rainy"
he said.
Attitude toward the time change
was much the same at Coolidge
high school, although it does not
effect the older children as much
as grammar school pupils, ac-
cording to r. w. Taylor, priLci-
pal. At the United States In
dian Service office, now operat-
ing on Pacific Coast time, it was
also said that the personnel had
not yet adjusted itself to the
change.

the miles that separate us, we viii
surmount the distance in heart
and mind.
We want to include in this edi-
tion as many of the service mems
pictures as possible, so old fam
iliar faces will greet them as they
open the pages. We have a num-
Der of their pictures-but not all.
There are over 230 men on our
Coolidge Honor Roll. So bring
their pictures to us between now
and December 1st, which is the
last day we can receive them for
the Christmas issue. We cannot
use snapshots, because they do
not reproduce for newspaper pur
poses, bu if you are doubtful
| (and have no other picture) bring
it. and we will see what can be
| done.
Coolidge wants its men in th'
service to share this Christina
day with their folks from home
and they can, if you will help.
