Organization plans for con-
Quoting the United War Fund
in Santa Cruz county, are rapid
ly being completed, according
to James III. Price of Phoenix,
state campaign director.
In acquainting his campaign
leaders with the purpose of the
United War Fund drive, Mr..
Price declared: ''All OrganiZa-
tions participating in the Fund
aid American fighting men and
their allies. These are services
vital to the winning of this war,
and they must be financed by
American citizens.
This one campaign to finance
them all is the efficient answer to
our patriotic desire to help. Multi
pie campaigns tire everyone out and
are not good for public morale
Mr.. Price briefly explained the
function of each participating
agency, pointing out that United
China Relief provides medical and
surgical supplies, equipment, food,
clothing, shelter and personnel for
'heroic Chinese who have been
fighting our fight for over five
years, and holding at bay million
savage Jap troops
Funds granted the USO, Mr.
Price also pointed out, will follow
Arizona fighting men wherever they
are-from Coast to Coast and in
many Western Hemisphere bases CT
the United States armed forces.
Over 1915 service units now show
our boys that folks back home
don't forget them"
Allied War Prisoners Aid pro-
vides rehabilitation work for the
disabled, supplies athletic equip
ment, musical instruments, games,
books, writing materials, handicraft
supplies and necessary personnel
for war prisoners who would other
wise face "stagnation behind barbed
wire" Mr.. Price said that this
service was conducted by Interna-
tional Y.MC.A. secretaries from
neutral countries who visit some
900 prison camps regularly. The
service operates on basis of inter.
national reciprocity.
War Emergency Service of the
Y.W.C.A., Mr.. Price continued, aid:
women in work here and overseas
providing emergency help and vel
fare programs. The American So
cial Hygiene association conducts
an intensified educational program
tc protect the health of our armed
forces and defense workers, by pre-
venting the spread of social dis

Nogales Still
Has Hopes OF
Getting Airport

Despite press dispatches from
Washington announcing con-
struction of % airport projects
in 13 states, including those at
Nogales and Wilcox, Ariz., has
been stopped by the War Pro-
ductiOn Board to conserve ma
teriaIs for essential war work,
NOgales has not given up hope.
Vigorously protesting against the
action of the WPB, kilograms were
sent Monday to Senators Carl Hay
den and Ernest w. Mcfarland and
Congressman Richard F. Hairless
and John R. Murdock by the Santa
Cruz County Board Of Supervisors.
The county, the kilograms said,
has already gone to an expense OF
$40 900 as a preliminary step to ac-
tual work on the Nogales airport
which was to cost $650,00
The Senators, in reply to
the telegram from Nogales, wired
the Santa Cruz County Board of
Supervisors they were immediate
ly looking into the matter, it was
announced by Louis Escalada, chair
man of the county board.
Supervisors Escalada, r. I.
Frazier and A. B. Sorrells, and
other parties, have spent much
time getting things in shape for
work at the airport and if the
city fails to get the project, it's
, going to be keen disappOint-
ment to the public in general.
incidentally, NOgales, so far,
hasn't received a single national
defense project since the war
started.

The special wage board which
heard testimony of local shop girls

bers of the wage board representing

ers.
H. S. McCluskey of Phoenix was
attorney for the Industrial Com
mission; Attorneys Duane Bird and
Nasib Karam represented the en-
ployers; and Attorney Ruffo Espi-
nosa represented the employees.
Federico Gutierrez Pastor, Mexi-
can Consul stationed here; and Miss
Carmen Gonzalez, attache to the
Mexican consulate, were the two
persons who initiated the proceed
ings when they went before Gov
ernor Sidney P. Osborn and men,
bers of the Industrial Commission
at Phoenix informing them of the
labor conditions existing in NogaleS.
The testimony of shop girls dis
closed that some girls were earning
$25 90 monthly after having two
years experience as salesladies and
that others earned $4,000, $65.00
and as high as $12500.
The testimony of employers was
to the effect that living conditions
on the border are such that the two
border cities are, in effect, one and
that, as a consequence, the cost of
living here is not as high as in
other cities of the United States;
that there is little to divert en-
ployees here; that rents are low,
that food prices are low due to low
priced Mexican meats and vege-
tables obtainable at the market in
Nogales, Sonora. One employer
stated that although several of his
shop-girls were competent, many
of them were inept for the work
and that many did not speak Eng
lish. This employer also stated that
he had no American girls working
at the present time.
The case was submitted by At
torney Ruffo Espinosa for the en-
ployees and by County Attorney
Nasib Karam for the employers.
Testimony and documentary evil
dence presented by the employers
was studied, argued and deliberated
for five hours; the testimony Of
p-girls, presented by the em-
ployees, was also considered. At
7:15 pm. Wednesday the decision,
by a majority of the wage board,
was announced as follows:
The Decision
/. That NogaleS would hereafter
be included within the provisions of
the minimum wage law applicable
to women and minors in the retail
trade;
2. That women and minors en-
ployed in the retail trades would be
subject to the minimum wage estab-
lished for the State of Arizona
which is $3.50 for learners, $14.0O
after learners have had six months
experience, and $1,000 after en-
ployees have had one years expert
ence.
This decision of the local wage
board will be submitted to the IN
dustrial Commission at Phoenix for
final determination, but, it was re-
liably stated, this recommendation
will be matter of form only.

WAR PLANT PAYROLLS
AND INITIATION

WORKERS IN WAR PLANTS are
given increases in wages until their
income is at least double that of
normal times. They want to spend
that increase but there is a de-
crease in the commodities they can
buy. Such a condition causes in
fation. Abnormal wage scales have
meant excessive prices for war
products, a doubling up of the cost
of war. That calls for increased
taxation and an increased issue of
government bonds The taxation and
purchase of bonds have fallen hard
est upon those who have not profited
from increased wage scales in war
plants or increased profits from the
production of war necessities. The
increased wages in war plants has
thrown the whole economic machin-
cry out of gear and produced the
conditions out of which initiation is
born. The place to have controlled
imitation was in the war plant pay
rolls.

At the age of IL, he is still just

There was one big difference. In
those days Yale, Harvard, and
Princeton only had two hard games
a year-in their own circle. Today
seven or eight tough games is a
general average.
Winning Sires
The conversation among the horse
men at Belmont switched to the ages
of winning sires recently.
Some one brought up the point
that The Porter, at the age Of 28,
still had winning colt in Alorter
who recently shipped off rich
stake.
Also that The Porter had grand
son running by the name of Dart
away who had worked out mile
in 1884, AS.
There is Man O. War still produc-
ing winning colts and Big Red is
now 26 years old.
Kingston at the age of 26 was the
proud father of the star entry
Novelty.
By this time the autumn air at
Belmont was replete with debates
concerning the age where sires
turned out their best colts.
John Partridge, with more than
40 years experience to back him UP
in the training game, named the
winning average between 8 and 10.
Ben Jones and Make Hirsch dis.
agreed slightly.
''It might be from 6 to a." Ben
Jones said. Nobody can tell. Man

''Why don't they say something
about the greatest damS?" John
Partridge asked.
"What about them?" I put in.

HERE is A MAN
WHO KNOWS FARM PROBLEMS

l do not believe there is any man
In America who has a clearer con-
ception of the big and little prob
lens of American agriculture than
Wheeler McMillen. He knows the
needs of the dirt farmer through
having been one and he is still op-
Grating a farm of that character.
As organizer and president of the
Chemurgic council, he knows the fu-
ture possibilities of American agri-
culture.
He has been directly instrumental
in providing new uses for farm prod
ucts. His urge is for greater farm
production and in that increased
quantity he sees the future of Amer
lea. His value to the American farm
is far greater than those who seek
temporary makeshifts to increase
prices of farm products. His ef-
forts are to create increased perma-
nent markets that will provide prof
table prices. He is safe and prac-
teal type for agriculture to follow.

CIVILIAN ACTIVITIES
IN GOVERNMENT

SENATOR BYRD'S COMMITTEE
tells us the increase in the number
of civilian employees of the federal
government in the first six months
of 1943 amounted to something like
100000 new names on the payroll,
that, despite all the efforts of the
committee to reduce the cost of the
civilian activities of the government.
They say withholding appropriations
does not accomplish the desired pur-
pose as the employees are simply
transferred from the departments
for which there is no appropriation
to others for which appropriations
have been made, even though to do
this economies must be made in 9TH
er than personnel lines. 1t is to be
regretted that congress cannot find
a way of exchanging the white col
lars of government desk jobs for
uniforms of the armed forces or the
overalls of war production plants.
Such an exchange would help to
solve the manpower problem.
