a new all-time high in 1943 for the
fourth year in succession, President
A. T. Mercier revealed today in a

nation putting the state back on
Mountain Standard Time, which
is identical with Pacific War

The state has been on Mountain
War Time since shortly after the
japanese attack in December 1941.
Governor Osborn based his pro-
clamation on the contention that
the purpose of war time-saving of
electricity-is being defeated in the
winter months in Arizona, and that
school children and industrial work.
erS have been compelled to arise
before dawn.
Politically speaking, according to
Col. Bill Turnbow, Phoenix Gazette
columnist, the Governor scored a
bulls-eye with his decree placing
Arizona back on Mountain Standard

and foes alike" the Colonel said,
as an exceedingly popular move
perhaps, the most popular act of
Mr.. OSborn's gubernatorial career"
There has been a popular demand
for the time change, dating back

The Nogales High School Apaches
won their third straight cage victory
here Tuesday night by literally
slaughtering the basketball five
from Patagonia by a score of 48 to
Is.
The entire contest was rather one
sided, for the locals maintained a
safe lead until the final gup sound
ed. The Apaches showed basketball
fans that hard practice and drill is
an essential for any basketball
squad, for although the locals came
out on the high end Of the score,
their ragged ball handling showed
lack of practice. They have missed
