Relatives Urged
To Register
Soldiers

Dan E. Garvey. secretary of state,
this week appealed to relatives of
Arizonans qualified to vote in the
coming primary election, to make
sure members of the armed forces
get an opportunity to vote.
This law in permitting registra-
ton by proxy and requiring the
county recorder without application
to mail ballots to registered electors
in military service, places the re-
sponsibility for voting by persons in
the military service on those of us
who remain at home,' he said.
Because of the nature of the law,
he explained, this responsibility
primarily rests on the relatives of
members of the armed forces, be-
cause no ballot can be mailed I'M
less:
/. The relatives see to it that
the member of the armed forces
is registered to vote.
2. The relatives of all members
of the armed forces, whether reg
istered or not, see to it that the
county recorders have the service
mans full military address and
full home address.
In connection with the first re-
quirement, Mr.. Garvey explained
that many members of the armed
force, although registered voters
when they joined the services. have
lost their registration because they
were unable to vote in the general
election two years ago.
In connection with the second, he
explained that, although the serv-
iceman is properly registered. the
county recorder has no way OF
knowing he is in the armed services
or his military address unless that
information is supplied.

Somewhere in the Pacific.
Dear Butch:
Glad you enjoy the letters and I
appreciate the letters I get from the
fellows.
Cleaning out those JapS is a
tougher job. know, than your dry
cleaners job here was, but we know
you'll deliver the goods as you al
ways did here
Yeh, there are still lot of guys
here that drive Harry Conner nuts
because their suit wasn't back from
the cleaners in 80 minutes. To
some of them the pressing job on
their pants is about the most i'm
portant pressing engagement in the
world. At least you are away from
that. I imagine you would rather
put a crease in some Jap's pants
with that bayonet.
! Not much news, except that sew
eral of the hard working tomato
men we're in the Montezuma Bar
the other day, and-as usual-argu-
ing about tomatoes The guys that
owned them thought they were too
cheap, and us guys that buy them
thought they were too high. So
back and forth. pro and con.
You know we have a ceiling on
everything now, so one tomato
man sez, THE ceiling amt high
enough"
Then one of the buyers slammed
his fist on the bar and hoIlered.
1.-THE ceiling is too damn high and
I'm going to wire Washington to
drop the ceiling!"
Just as he said that. there was a
loud "BOOMr' and about ten feet
of the plaster fell out of the ceiling
right smack on the bar. Unfortu11-
ately it did not hit any tomato man.
We'll" sez the tomato guy, Ill
say this for those guys III Washing
ton: they give you anything you
ask for. :"
Best regards,

RED ROSS WAR FUND FAR
IN EXCESS OF QUOTA SET
FOR COUNTY; TOPS $4,000
Santa Cruz County First In State To Reach Quota Of
$15200 National Record Believed To
Have Been Established Here

Completing in less than three
weeks time the largest and most
successful drive for funds in the
history of Santa Cruz County,
Robert Marcus, county chairman
of the 1914 Red Cross War Fund,
announced yesterday that Santa
Cruz County was officially the
first county in Arizona to reach
its goal of S15,2OO and that funds
are still coming in and to date is
in excess of $4,000.
A complete financial report will
be published as soon as possible, to-
gether with the names of those who
gave so much of their time and
effort to make this drive such a
success. Marcus said.
II believe we will have established
a national record of the number OF
participants per population in this
drive. have never seen such
spontaneous response and willing
ness on the part of all to make this
campaign a success as was shown
by our citizens. The Red Cross does
not have to be sold to the citizens
of Santa Cruz County Without the
whole-hearted cooperation of every
citizen. to have reached this quota
would have been an imposSibility.
We have had a large decrease Of
population, no war industries or
war boom, but we do have citizens
who know and appreciate what the
Red Cross means and is doing for
the approximately 1900 boys from
this county in the armed forces.
IT wish at this time to express my
sincere thanks to the Nogales Inter-
national and Herald for the pub
licity given, to Miss Betty Wooddell,
publicity chairman; Mrs. Harry
Wilson, women's committee chair
man; Demetrio Kyriakis, chairman
Greek Committee, The Junior Red
Cross and the entire school system,
the committees from Patagonia and
all outlying districts, our numerous
friends and neighbors in Mexico,
and especially to the produce indus
try, under the Craftsmanship of w.
E. Urick, which Notwithstanding
adverse conditions was instrumental
in reaching our quota-and to the
many workers not mentioned here
Every man, woman and child
cooperated as we'll as all business
firms. city, county, state and gov
ernment agencies, clubs, churches,
cattlemen and ranchers.
II aln sure that this news of our
accomplishment will be happily re-
ceived by the boys from this county
who are now scattered throughout
the world and will let them know

Europe sSma|I Nations
Cannot Stand Alone,
Hore-BeIisha Says
By the Associated Press.


LONDON, Dec. 16.-Leslie Hore-
Belisha, war secretary In the former
Chamberlain cabinet, said today in
speech marking his 21st anniver-
sary as member of Parliament
that the present conflict had proved
the small European nations cannot
stand alone.
He asserted that unless the great
powers were prepared unitedly to
guarantee Europe new constitu-
ton based on single federation Of
number of federations they were
working in an anachronistic medium
in an age of airplanes, wireless and
mass production.
1.-The prescription of the sovereign
independence of the states with
which the statesmen of Versailles
sought to stabilize Europe will have
no more curative effect in Is years
after this war than it had in rs
years after the last" he declared.
Nor are the peoples of emanci-
pated countries likely to feel that
in such formula-howeve demo-
cratically presented-will they find
security either in their individual
or national lives" he continued.
''The revolutionary resistance move
ments such as the Fam in Greece
provide a focus and outlet for the
unsatisfied aspirations of millions
of Europeans"
Predicting general disharmony
after the end of formal hostilities,
Mr.. Hore- -Belisha asked.
What hope is held out to hui
manity in any of the events unfold
ing in Europe that the great powers
are going to act unitedly as there
is no evidence either in Italy, Bel
gium, Greece or Poland that they
have planned an accord?
There can be no end to global
wars unless some better constitution
than the prewar system is found for
Europe"
