Social Security
Workers Needed

Announcement, has been made of
examinations to be administered
by the Merit System Council of the
State of Arizona. These examina-
tions will be for positions in the
State Department of Social Sc
curity and Welfare, Employment
Security Commission, and the State
Department of Health. They cover
wide range of occupations includ-
ing clerical help, social workers,
nurses, and utility workers. Each
position covered has it's individual
requirements and qualifications,
and all applicants must be citizens
of the United States.
Pinal County has a very urgent
need for social workers, and the
Pinal County Board of Social Sc
curity and Welfare requests that
all people interested in this type of
work apply Immediately to take
the examinations. The closing date
for filing applications is November
25, 1914, and they must be filed
with the Merit System Supervisor,
Room Ali, Home Builders Building,
Phoenix, Arizona or the County
Welfare Office, Box 107, Florence.
A circular listing the job descrip-
ton and salary ranges together
with the qualifications required for
the various jobs are posted in the
Post Office in Casa, Grande and the
Women's Club in Coolidge, and
everyone is urged to read it. Rough
ly speaking, however, social work
ers must have either four years of
college training or else two years
of training and two years of expert
ence in a public field. At the pres
ent time they are required to have
Arizona residence; however, an ef-
fort is being made to eliminate this
requirement as a result of the in
ability of the State Department to
recruit sufficient workers within
the state. People without Arizona
residence who are interested in the

made to get it into the Sixth War
loan drive, with banking circles
strongly recommending face-to-
face canvassing of prospects for
subscriptions.
The war advertising council has
launched a campaign built around
the slogan-"Plan your spending;
plan your saving" - which is de-
signed to direct the peoples think
ing toward holding on to their
money now for less prosperous
times
Although the advertising coun-
cips campaign will line up with the
Sixth War loan drive, it will be
continued after the latter has ended
to keep the thought of assuring fu-
ture security fresh in the public
mind

ers will be able to purchase the 2h

War Bond Sales
Stop Initiation
Comment Bankers
BY AL JEDLICkA

ITO many people now getting
more money than ever before in
their lives investing in war
bonds =. simply means taking dol
lars at "a time when they come
easy and putting them away in a
safe place, against the time when
the need may be greater and the
dollars harder to get"
Thus commented the National
City bank of New York in discus
sing the Sixth War loan drive,
scheduled to get under way next
week with a goal of $4,000, ,0O0, 900,
with $4,000, 100000 to come from
individuals.
In the Sixth, as well as In the
five previous war loan drives in
which approximately $4,000, ,000,-
900 were raised, patriotism, of
course, will be the guiding theme,
with civilians asked to make some
small sacrifice to back up the much
greater sacrifices of our fighting
men on the far-flung world fronts.
But in the Sixth, as well as in
preceding war loan drives, the tre-
mendous personal advantages to be
gained by investing in government
securities are apparent. Not only
will such investments build up nice
nest-eggs for future use when the
war boom tapers off, as the Ma
tional City bank pointed out, but
bond purchases now tend to head
off present inflationary forces with
all of their danger to the price
structure.
Peak Circulation
AS of November /, money in cir
culation stood at an all-time peak
of $24 ; ,409, 900. 900 rising to S193, ,000,-
600 in one week partly because of
election betting and campaigning,
and going up approximately $685.
100000 from the same period last
year.
With this huge volume of money
in circulation reflecting the pros
porous state of the nation, and
with rationing and the restriction
in production of civilian goods
limiting expenditures on ordinary
staples, many people have found
themselves with a surplus of in
come.
Large investments in govern
ment bonds, and large savings,
have absorbed much of these sur
pluses. In connection with savings,
a recent study made by University
of Illinois economists showed that
farm families are among the most
conservative regardless of the in
| come level. In 1912, for example,
it was found that when disposable
income for farm families under
study averaged at a high of $4,390,
expenditures were kept down to
$1,S91, with the remainder being
available for savings.
Despite the large investments in
war bonds and savings, however,
much money is being spent on lux
uries. Best evidence can be seen
in heavy transportation traffic, ho-
tells, theaters, night clubs and cock
tail bars. it was pointed out.
Also emphasizing the availability
of a lot of easy money, it was
said, is the heavy volume of gam
bling taking place, with some es-
Inmates placing the figure at over
81, 900, 100000 in New York state
alone for six months. Of this sum
$300,000,000 was wagered at race
tracks, with the rest bet on the out
side.
With all of this easy money
around, concerted effort will be

Today and Tomorrow
CANCER
By DON ROBERTSON

CANCER -. -. ordeal
| spent last night with a close
friend of mine who has been told
that, within a month or two, he
will probably die of cancer of the
lungs.
For many years l have read
about the curse of cancer and have
known several people who died
from it after going through months
of excruciating pain. But l never
quite realized, until now, how that
dreaded disease can so suddenly
reach out and demand life with
out the medical profession being
able to offer any means of defense.
To know you are going to die
within a specified short time and
be able to do nothing about it is
certainly one of the most frighten-
ing ordeals a human being can
face To contemplate a month or
more of intense suffering and strug-
gle, with the final verdict already
having been written against you,
is undoubtedly one of the worst
possible forms of mental torture.
OF course there are many cases
of cancer which can be cured by
radium treatment, by X-ray, and
by surgery-but there are others,
such as this one, where even the
experts admit their helplessness.
LIVES 100000
1t seemed to me to be a little
more than coincidence when i'm

suppose l have seen such signs
dozens of times before. | have
seen urgent advertising messages
in newspapers and magazines car
rying the same plea. | have half
listened to messages about cancer
over the radio And | have realized
that there are many organizations
in this country set up to sponsor
reasearch on cancer and to educate
the people about cancer
But somehow this nationwide
campaign never got under my skin
until saw those signs last night.
Having been made so personally
aware of the dire need for knowl-
edge on this mysterious disease,
realized, for the first time, how
shortsighted the wealthy American
people are in letting lack of funds
interfere with progress toward
eliminating this scourge which
takes an annual toll, in our coun-
try, of over $50, 900 lives a year

LIFE STORY OF

 NOW kT CAPITOL

The period following the close of the war between the North and South has hitherto been neglected by movie producers as material for screen plays.
 Now M-G-M has remedied this oversight in it's new historical drama, tennessee Johnson" The result leads to the question as to why this fruitful page of history has been so long overlooked.
 The picture, seen at the Capitol Theatre, tells, in a sound, impress sive and powerfully dramatic story based on the life of Andrew John- son, illiterate runaway tailor's ap- prentice, who becomes President of the United States. following Lin- coln's death, in one of the most turbulent political periods in our history.
 The stars are Van Heflin, Lionel Barrymore and Ruth Hussey. trio of top-drawer screen artists charged with the responsibility of making three historical characters true-to- life human beings; Johnson as the struggling politician who became President; Miss Hussey as his faithful wife, and Barrymore as his political enemy, Thaddeus Stevens, who sought to have him impeached.

ter to MT. Noble, chairman of the Twelfth Regional War Labor Board who is presiding at the hearing in Seattle:
 Please extend my cordial greet ings to the representatives of labor management and government agen- cies assembled at the wage confer ence which you have called. I re- gret that the pressure of official duties in Alaska makes it impos- sible for me to attend the confer ence much as I would like to have been with you, for the conference deals with matters of vital import ance to Alaska.
 T desire, however, iis this mes sage to stress the fact that Alaska conditions are entirely different from those in the states, and that these conditions in turn differ widely in different parts of Alaska It should be constantly borne in mind by those dealing with our Alaska wage scale, that the cost of living is substantially higher in Alaska than anywhere in the 4S states and that a fair wage policy should and must fully recognize that differential.
 up to the minute figures on what those differentials are are not available. But we may assume that the differentials disclosed in an authoritative survey made by the Alaska Federation of Federal En- ployees three years ago are still reasonably accurate. If anything the cost of living in Alaska as compared with the United States has risen since that survey was made, due to the substantial freight and pas senger rate increases established by the steamship companies imrned- lately after the outbreak of the war.
 
 However, that study showed that as compared with Washington, D. C., the cost of living was 35 per- cent higher in Ketchikan, approxi- mately 50 per cent higher in Ju- neau, 75 per cent higher in Cordova, 88 per cent higher in Anchorage reaching a maximum of 1l6 per cent in Fairbanks.
 Wage rates established for AL aska ought therefore to take these into consideration and should vary with the region in AL aska where employment is offered. Of course, if the conditions of en- ployment include food and lodging, the cost to the employee is thereby diminished and this can be taken into consideration.
 Tn conclusion, I wish the con- ference every success and trust that next years conference, should one prove necessary, will be held at the place where meeting dealing wholly with Alaska matters pro- perly should be held, namely, in the Territory's capital, Juneau"

"AnOld American
 Custom"

A friend of mine, the head of prominent advertising agency, has a most interesting hobby. For many years he has been collecting topical advertisements SO that he can look back at the thinking and the planning of periods that have passed.
 The other day I had the good fortune to take peek at one of my friends scrapbooks. What wealth l discovered!
 Here was a full page advertisement of local committee of nationally known relief organization, in New York newspaper on September6, 1923 ...just little over twenty years ago. Here is the first paragraph:-
 ITO THE CITIZENS OF
 GREATER NEW YORK"
 ''One Of the greatest disasters *s
 history has fallen swiftly on
 large section of the Jopdnese
 nation. Earthquake and fire haue
 destroyed their homes and stores,
 obliterated their communication
 and transportation, andhate left
 the living helpless in q scu7ed
 ard seayed land. They are in
 stark need, and unless relief tn
 tremendous Uolume is hurried to
 then, they must perish by thou
 sands from hunger, thirst and
 sickness. The task of succoring
 them IS SO tremendous that tt
 becomes the Uorld's task in
 which the United States, en-
 doved witb plenty, quickly
 should do her f,ltl share"
 Needless to remind you that millions of dollars were raised and sent to Japan to assist in relieving her distress.
 Almost twenty years later, to show her gratitude, one of the most das- tardly acts of depreciation was com mitted by Japan at Pearl Harbor while her grinning ambassadors were meeting with our State Department in Washington. For this she will be punished as no nation has ever been punished before the punishment will fit the crime! In other words plain English words--we are going to lick the tar out of her in a manner she will never forget! And while doing it her skies will be emblazoned by her own fires with the one livid word REMEMBER
 The years will go on. Time. the great healer, will do his work; towns and cities and nations will be rebuilt because progress can be retarded, but it cannot be stopped. New genera tions. we hope, will have new, whole some philosophies; >but hurricanes and earthquakes and holocausts will come again. And Uhen they come, and Uhere they come, will make no difference.
 America will always answer the appeal for help, because that's |. AN OLD AMERICAN CUSTOM. P.S. But, let's lick Japan frst- Now! Back the Attack-Buy War Bonds!
