Mrs. Miller Talks
To Her Husband In
Switzerland, Tuesday

Another milestone In the history
of Coolidge was marked Tuesday
morning with the ringing OF the
telephone In the Asa Gardner
home where Mrs. Mary Gardner
Miller and children are staying
while her husband. 1t Richard A.
Miller. is overseas. The call was
for Mrs. Miller from Switzerland
and marked the greatest distance
from which telephone call has
been received through the local
office.
Lieutenant Miller. who is sta
toned in Mannheim. Germany,
planned to call his wife on Christ
mas. Only military calls are being
handled from there, however, so
Lieutenant Miller decided to take
advantage of his leave in Switzer-
land for the contemplated sur
prise. "And it really was sur
prise" Mrs. Miller said. "He has
been overseas more than a year
now. We talked three minutes and
ten seconds. It was wonderful TO
hear his voice"
It took half an hour from the
time of connection before voice re-
ception across the distance could
be made clear enough for Lieuten-
ant and Mrs. Miller to understand
each other. Two precious minutes
of the Miller's allotted time was
lost in an attempt to understand
each other. 'But the last minute
was perfect" Mrs. Miller said. eve
could hear each other as clearly as
if he had been in the States"

Fire Destroys
Alabam Office
Here on Sunday

Alabam Freight Lines office on
South Main street was gutted by
fire that started from an unknown
cause Sunday afternoon. The build
ing. which is owned by Leonard

that it has been wrecked and the
property is being cleared for con-
struction of a new building. Nc
Intyre estimates the loss at approx
imately $500. 1t was not covered

has reached 6S per cent of its
quota.
IF all counties of the state will
continue to sell bonds until the
quotas are made, Arizona will keep
its grand war record. Compared
to some of the challenges people
in this state have met during this
long war service, the one we're
now facing is a push-over." said
Bimson.
Sales of f bonds in Pima county
had reached So per cent of the
quota and in Maricopa 81 per cent
of the goal had been reached as
the states two largest counties,
which account for about 60 per cent
of the states quota, continued sales
efforts right down home stretch.
A report has not yet been made
on Pinal county.
Volunteer workers on many To-
cal war finance committees were
continuing their solicitation efforts
according to drive officials, as all
feel that the drive in their commu-
mites must be completed success
fully. Were all in this battle to-
gether battle for security in
a world at peace and the more
we save for ourselves through our
investment in Victory Bonds, the
better our own futures will be,
Bimson pointed out.
Success of the drive as a whole
depends upon what people who
have dollars stuck back in safety
deposit boxes and bulging savings
accounts do during the next few
days regarding their share of the
Victory Loan quota. For the quota
of each community was based on
the assumption that all good
Americans would buy bonds to the
limit of their ability" accoding to
