WE HADN'T PLANNED

10 revive JNlS column from the SUM-
mer malady and inertia which has
beset it until next month but We
find there is need to say well
done" to those folks who have done
a grand job in cleaning off weeds
within the town which obstruct the
view of vehicle drivers at street
intersections.
THERE'S LESS DEATH
lurking the weeds now and
much good has come from the an
nual ditch cleaning operation on
3rd street sponsored by the leaders
of the grade school district.
BUT SOME is NOT
enough . there are still many
dangerous blind spots where even
a giraffe could not see what is
coming on the next cross street
yes, death still turks behind
the tall weeds of many of our
streets and the pity of it is
that as a community we can do
nothing about it because we are
not INCORPORATED we have
no organization or authority to
manage our own affairs.
WE ARE JUST
a group of neighbors gathered to-
gether to live and conduct our
business and to progress the best
we can in the handicapped manner
of the giant of the fairy tale who
was bound to earth by the tiny
strings with which the small fairy
folk had staked him in the
manner of all unincorporated
areas.
OUR ATTENTION HAS
been called to an ably written ar
ticle from the pen of Sam Cohen,
brother-in-law of Ben Mirkin of
Coolidge and Mesa business man,
which appears in another column of
this weeks Eaminer and which,
apparently, is concurred in by a
good many citizens who believe
Mr.. Dewey not quite able enough
TO succeed Franklin Roosevelt as
President of these United States.
WHEN THE PLAN
to add all of the justice court work
of Red Rock justice precinct is
added to that OF the Eloy precinct
we wonder if the board of super
visors will find it in their hearts
TO increase the compensation OF
the already overwOrked justice of
the peace in Eloy. Once there
was little enough for justice of
the peace to do but Wen wager the
trainers of the law creating justice
precincts back during statehood
days little realized how much JUS
tice work would accrue in a COM
munity where thousands of timer
ant farm laborers gather for a few
short months each year.
THE CHEERS IN
Paris echo in Coolidge every
old soldier who was in France on
Armistice Day, 1918, knows what
is now taking place in Paris
that is he knows how wildly
ecited and happy the civilian pop
ulation must be to see American
soldiers march down the Champ
Elysee and American tanks roll up
the Rue Septembre E. he can hear
the distant echo of the million-fold
cheers of a liberated people . :.
those cheers echo in Coolidge . :.
they echo, not in our ears, but IN
our hearts.
BECAUSE THOSE CHEERS
in Paris mark the first great low
ering of the curtain of uncondi-
tional surrender by the hated Nazis
and the closely approaching end
of the European war let us now
prepare for the great day when the
war in Europe is actually brought
to a close let us complete all
arrangements for celebrating that
day and it is to be hoped mem
bers of the American Legion will
accept the task and assume lead
ership in completing arrangements
for a fitting celebration of that
great day which may not be many
dawns away.

 Our personal nomination for the title of Holder of Yard s-Most-In- teresting-Job goes this week to the delightful little character en- ployed down in the Victory Yard as chief schlink -taker-oute for Shepard's test gang. AS person ally explained to us by said schlink-remover, Schlinks occur during tank testing when the in- fernal pressure of the Finnegan l bar exceeds that of the futer- stick, which in turn caused the oil under test to spiral rapidly counter-clockwise through the feeder-pipe which had been screwed in clockwise, therefore causing the emergence of peculiar misconcentric twists in said pipe, known professionally as schlinks.
