Arizona Supreme
Court Confirms
Boards Decision
Custer of County Treasurer
Griffin by Pinal County
Board of Supervisors up
held by states highest
court.

The Supreme Court of Arizona
handed down a final decision Fri
day in upholding the Pinal County
Board of Supervisors in the
appeal of Mrs. Ethel Griffin
from an order made by the Board
of Supervisors of Pinal County on
January 5, 1943, suspending Mrs.
Griffin from the office of county
treasurer of Pinal County pending
an adjudication of charges made
against her. At the time of the
making of the order of suspension
the Board of Supervisors was COM
posed of j. w. Spray, chairman,
Robert Denton and EMS Thurman,
members.
The action of the Board of Su-
pervisors grew out of the conduct
of Mrs. Griffin in accepting three
checks dated October 81, 1912, in
the amount of $4,2SS09, in payment
of taxes, although such checks had
not been paid or presented for pay
ment as late as December 81, 1912,
when her account was discovered
short. The order of the board was
also based upon the failure of Mrs.
Griffin to furnish a bond and file
the oath of office for her second
term as treasurer, to which she
was elected at the November cleo
tion of 1912, within the time re-
quired by Arizona statute for filing
bond and oath of office.
Soon after her suspension Mrs.
Griffin brought suit in the Pinal
County Superior Court against the
members of the Pinal County Board
of Supervisors contending that the
action of the supervisors in sus-
pending her from office was un-
lawful. From ruling by the Su-
perior Court upholding the action
of the supervisors, Mrs. Griffin ap-
pealed to the Arizona Supreme
Court.
The decision of the Arizona Su-
preme Court vindicated the suspen-
sion made by the supervisors and
held that the board did not exceed
the jurisdiction vested in it by the
Arizona statute regarding suspen-
sion of public officials and that its
order suspending Mrs. Griffin from
office was in conformity with pow
ers conferred upon boards of SUI
pervisors by Arizona law.
The members of the Pinal County
Board of Supervisors were repre-
sented in the action before the
Pinal County Superior Court by for
mer County Attorney Ronald ].
Ellis and F. Preston Suit, deputy
county attorney. Tom Fulbright,
present Pinal County attorney, and
Chas. H. Reed, special attorney fol-
the Board of Supervisors, argued
the case on behalf of the Board OF
Supervisors before he Arizona Su-
preme Court. LewkowitZ and Weln
and Jacob Morgan of Phoenix rep
resented Mrs. Griffin in the litiga-
ton.

Wild Quail Domesticated Lead
Family Life In Rancher's Home

The raising of wild quail in cap
tivity is thing it took scientists
many years to work out-but the
spontaneous response of mother
instinct toward a helpless thing
takes small account of science, and
sometimes accomplishes swifter
and more unusual results. 1t was
through the latter means, in which
tragedy and kindness mingle, that
a pair of wild quail are now raising
their brood in the George Kinne
ranch home.
The story dates back to the
spring of 1912 when nest of wild
quail pecked their way out of their
shells into a strange new world
that they looked upon from clump
of brush in field on the Kinne
ranch. Quail always nest on the
ground and there was no reason for
the mother bird to believe that the
spot she had chosen so carefully
was destined for tragedy-until she
saw a great steel monster approach
and plough directly over the place
where her babes lay newly hatched.
There was nothing the mother
could do and the tractor driver,
who stopped to investigate, found
all the quail but one badly injured.
Nevertheless he gathered up a
handful and took them to the ranch
house.
You may remember the story of
one of that brood, reported in these
pages in 1912. AS Mrs. Kline
watched the small things die she
determined to save the one that

Young Marine
Is On His Way
Home To Stay

The long silence through which
Mr. and Mrs. @. e. Nowlin, Flor
ence, awaited news of their son,
Pfc. Roy Nowlin, 10, u. S. Marine
Corps, was broken at last by a let
ter from the South Pacific written
by "Gray Lady" Their son was
wounded, she wrote, while fighting
on an (unnamed) island in the
South Pacific. He got a piece of
steel in his leg, which had to be
amputated above the knee. He was
in an overseas hospital, receiving
the best of care, and would write
his mother as soon as he was able.
That letter. and one from their
son, reached the Nowlins at almost
the same time.
In his letter Pfc. Nowlin strove
to tighten the sorrow of his family
and to assure them that he himself
looked toward the future with cour-
age. He is being sent back to the
United States where it is believed
his convalescence will be more
rapid.
Mrs. L. ]. Arnold, Nowlin's sis
ter, has made her home in Coolidge
for the past four years. Nowlin
was living with the Aronld family
and working at Boswell gin when
he was called to service in Novem-
Der of 1943.
The Nowlins came to Florence in
1889 from Russellville, Arkansas,
where Roy and his twin brother,
Troy, were born February 6, 1925.
The boys attended Florence schools
and worked at Morehouse dairy be-
fore Roy came to Coolidge to work
for Boswell gin.

and l am confident that Coolidge
will go over the top in the pur-
chase of E, F and G bonds by indi-
viduals before the end of July. All
sales of these bonds during the rest

Fifth War Loan-a record that we

j. E. Refsnes, executive director
of the state war finance committee.
sent out a special appeal this week
to all people in Arizona to con-
thue the drive to increase the
sales of War Bonds to individuals
as the U. S. Treasury has not met
its quota in this classification al
though total sales of all types of
bonds has exceeded the total quota
established for the nation in the
Fifth War Loan.
"We hope that when the last
purchase is tabulated on July 31st,"
said Refsnes, "it will show that
Arizona is over the top In all re-
spects and in every classification"

at home. Those who were not able
to purchase as many E Bonds as
they wanted to before, still have

When an automobile collides with a pedestrian, and the oper- ator is penalized. that is hardly news, but, according to William M. Greene, director of the Con- necticut Highway Safety Commis- sion, when a pedestrian is charged by police with "colliding with motor vehicle" and is success fully prosecuted in court that certainly is new" if not news.
 In Greenwich, according to a report filed with the Highway Safety Commission by Chief John M. Gleason, in connection with the pedestrian safety project sponsored by the Safety group and conducted by the police de- partments of the state, a pedis- trian, resident of Portchester. N. Y., was arrested recently, charged with reckless use of high ways through collision with a mo- tor vehicle and fined $l0 for the offense. He was also fined for being intoxicated; all of this at- ter being hospitaliZed because ot injuries sustained ill the "col- liSion".
 State police, according to MT.
