A telephone repairman
knocked on a customers door
not long ago and heard a
screechy voice say: Come in!"
He entered, but soon came
out again, looking pretty flus-
tered. There was no one home
except a parrot!
We're afraid there's still quite
a lot of talk on telephone lines
that doesn't mean any more
than that parrots invitation.
Idle talk may be all right in
normal years, but these are
war-times. Telephone lines
are crowded with vital war
calls. New equipment can't be
obtained.
So we ask you-for the dura-
tion-to make no unneces-
sary calls and to keep all calls
brief. The more easily war
calls go through on telephone.
lines, the sooner our fighting
forces will be through at the
battle lines! The Diamond

TT, like the eagle, you could look down on
i the amount of railroad equipment it
takes TO move a single armored division,
here is what you would see Is trains!
Many passenger trains, many freight trains
all required TO move just one division. For
a division takes all its equipment with it
tanks, jeeps, armored cars, supply trucks,
tractors, snti-aircraft guns, many things.
And its men, numbering about 10000,
need berths in which to sleep!
What's more, when this division moves by
rail, il moves as a unit-that is, trains fol-

Yuma Chief TO Be
Stripped Of Power

Yuma city councilmen this week
moved to strip Chief of Police Ike
Polhamus of power because he was
found guilty in San Diego of con-
tributing to the delinquency of a
minor girl.
The council was restrained from
declaring the office of chief of
police vacant pending hearing on a
temporary injunction Polhamus OBJ
tanned. The petition declared that
Polhamus had not been guilty of q
violation of his official duties. The
hearing will be held next WedneS-
day.
Nevertheless, Mayor Walter S.
ingalls, instructed Police Sergeant
Harold Breech not to obey orders
from PolhamuS, to pass that order
on to other members of the police
force, and take possession of a
police car Polhamus had been using
FolhamuS was sentenced to Jail
for four months but granted per-
mission to be in Yuma several days
each month to carry on the duties
of chief of police.
