TOVREA SENDS
FOOD MESSAGE
THRU NEWSPAPERS

"The largest single newspaper
advertisement from the standpoint
of size and coverage is being print
ed in practically every daily and
weekly newspaper in Arizona the
weekend of December 25th." stat
ed Mr.. Charles Mitten. president
Of the Arizona Newspaper Associ-
alton. The vitally important sub
iect matter of this advertisement
released by the Tovrea Packing
Company makes this advent all
the more significant further stat
ed Mr.. Mitten. Il was so inn
pressed by the confidence Mr.. Phil
Tovrea had expressed in the
newspapers ability to reach the
majority of the people of Arizona
with an important message that |
interviewed him in this connec-
ton. Mr. Tovrea stated that at
the present time he felt that it
was imperative that the general
public, as well as the farmers and
ranchers of Arizona, be fully ac-
quainted with the pending food
shortage due to the lack of farm
production which faces the people
of this state and that the quickest
and most impressive manner that
he knew for presenting the facts
of the case was through the med
ium of Arizona's daily and weekly
At the same time
Mr.. Tovrea, stated that both he
and his father, the former Ed A.
Tovrea, the founder of the pres
ent company, were and always
had been strong believers in the
use of Arizona's newspapers when
it was important to reach the
people of Arizona with. any mes
sage.
'T feel that the confidence shown
by the expenditure of a large sum
of money in the newspapers of our
state is the finest compliment that
could be paid to the newspapers
as one of the vital and indispen-
sable factors in the development
of our state"
Mr.. Mitten continued, 81 also
feel that this is an opportune time
to bring to everyone's attention
this wonderful example of a local
spending its money in
the state whether it be in the pur-
chase of equipment, raw mater
ials, livestock, advertising space
or payroll. The majority of the
money expended by our local busl-
ness firms returns for continuous
in all parts of Arizona
and to benefit directly or indirect
ly everyone in every section of our
State"

On u. S. Army Life

Private John l.. Sims. Sheppard

sriend letter this week, that will
be of interest to many here who
now him. Private Sims is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Sims,
Randolph farmers. His father was
for many years warden of Arizona
State Penitentiary. during the re
5ime of Governor Hunt.
There are many phases of the
present mobilization that | would
enjoy telling you about from per
sonal observations, but do not
consider it wise putting them in
writing - so they will have to
wait until l see you. On the
whole. and much TO my surprise,
like army life and am enjoying
myself. so far. have certainly
made no sacrifices and in the
main have had a thoroughly good
time. AS Dad has no doubt told
you, am going to technical
school. learning to assemble and
maintain gliders. Since they are at
present used purely for invasion
purposes it is not unlikely to be
supposed that | will soon find
myself far from Coolidge. Natur-
ally. | look forward to this and
perhaps soon. as my school is out
December 27th, and if my grades
hold up, am cinch to graduate.
This camp is near Wichita
Falls and believe me, I'll never
again mention being born in. Tex
as. The people are o. k, but this
,orth Texas climate - hot one
day and cold the next, is really
omething.
Private Sims says that he has
been we'll treated by every officer
With whom he has come in con-
tact since leaving home and, as
ne wrote his mother, 1.-The Ameri-
can sense of humor will win TINS

laugh at their own foibles they
are in good shape. Nearly every
day something happens that Is
really, unintentionally funny ana
of course there are some sao
things too. but the spirit is to see
it from the humorous side and Oh
course, that spirit makes most eV-
erything bearable."

Sergeant Ashcraft
Expects To Gross
The Pond Soon

One of the incest Christmas
cards that came to the Coolldge
Examiner office this week was
from Sergeant Calvin M. Ashcraft'
Weapons Troop, Sth cavalry, Fort
Bliss. Texas. Sergeant Ashcraft
is evidently a camera enthusiast
for his card included scenes OF
cavalry life at camp, horses load
ed with equipment and bearing
their mounts as they made their
way over dusty trails, cavalry
troops charging, at attention, and
at rest. The card was unusual,
and in addition it bore Christ
mas message.
81 am sending you a card OF
thanks for sending me the Exam
iner," Sergeant Ashcraft wrote.
"You really don't know how much
| enjoy reading it and hearing
about everyone in Coolidge, al
though | have been gone two and
a half years now +. | sincerely
hope we won't see another year
like the one just passed. My mot
to is, Buy bond and lots of boys
won't have to cross the pond e.
/ have a fairly easy life here, al
though at times it is pretty
rough. We ride about three hours
a morning, and have foot drill in
the afternoon. can't tell you the
kind of weapons we use, as it is
restricted; but can say one thing
the weapons we have, the boys
sure know how to use We are
hoping to go overseas in the near
future, which l am pretty sure of
doing. You can use what l have
written if you wish, as nothing |
have said is restricted"
Calvin Ashcraft is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clinton Ashcraft,
who make their home on ranch
northeast of Coolidge.

Wallace Twins
Among Coolidge's
First Residents

Thurston and Thurman Wal
lace. whose pictures appear on
the cover page of our home town
greeting to service men, are the
twin sons of w. r. Wallace.
Thurston is at present with the
armed forces in Australia. but
Thurman's destination Is known
only as overseas"
The twins were born in 1916
on "the old family homestead"
near Noble. Oklahoma. Their
mother died when they were little
more than two years old and
there followed a period when the
boys. both frail. were cared for
by an older married brother in
Norman, while their father kept
the rest of his family together as
best he could.
When the twins were about 10
years old their father gathered his
family together and came to Cool
idge where they made their home
in a large tent house in the Sea
goe addition. II was not long be-
fore the older sisters married and
moved away, leaving the twins
and their father to keep house
alone. In the meantime the r. C..
Wallace family moved to Coolidge
and were also living in Seagoe ad-
dition. The two families of boys
(cousins) had great times togeth-
er. Their fathers were both in
the hauling and trucking business.
The Wallace twins did their
own housework, washing and
cooking, but never learned to
make biscuits. And how they low
ed them! One of their favorite
boyhood pastimes was trading
store bread for biscuits"
They attended Sunday school
and grammar school here and
"are known by all Coolidge pio-
neers." Their high school educa-
ton was completed at Norman
Oklahoma, during another OF the
family's later stays there.
Thurston joined the army IN
1898 and his father and twin
brother Thurman returned to
Coolidge. where Thurman joined
the army in 1910 with his cous-
ms. Raymond and Dan Wallace.
The three were sent TO Fort olil
together and have been together
much of the time since.
