But it is no joke that Mr.. Tru-
man is wedding out a lot of dead
wood personnel and making bu-
reau heads economic on the use
of public funds.
The president is in earnest
about consolidating agencies and
making them perform their max
imum usefulness in the govern
ment. The huge bureaucratic en-
pire left by the late President
Roosevelt after twelve years of
unprecedented government ex-
pansion is due for the sweat-box
treatment.
The latest of the presidents
moves concerns federal funds. In
a surprise memorandum for which
the White House offered no ex-
PLANTATION, the chief executive di-
rected agency heads to take wig
orous disciplinary action against
anyone guilty of misuse of public
money.
Mr.. Truman said there isn't
much evidence of abuse, but Just
the same he wants his memo on
every agency's desk just in case.

Union chiefs contend that wage
adjustments are imperative to

for this argument in Fred Vim

Writes
From Germany

Writing from Germany, Sgt
Douglas Edgell said:
Things are going pretty smooth
here now We are living in a big
school building and have private
rooms, so it is almost like being in
the states
This town we are in has about
1000 population and is really a
pretty place. There is a swimming
pool and plenty of places to fish, SO
when we get any time off, there is
plenty to do.
"They quit censoring our mail to-
day, SO can tell you a few things
that have happened since we left
the states.
1--WE left from Camp Kilmer, N.
j., on the Queen Mary and went
to Scotland, then to England. After
we left there, we went up the Seine
River to Rouen, France.
"As you know, we got here just
as the Germans broke through in
Belgium, so things were plenty
tough. If you remember the obser-
vation outfit that the Germans
slaughtered at Malmedy? Well,
that is where we were then, about
three miles from there.
Then if you remember the town
of Schmidt, Germany, where the
big Ruhr River dam was, we crossed
the river there While we were
there, which was about three weeks,
we were shelled constantly by the
ferries, and sure were lucky because
we only lost one man there-but
believe me, 1 was plenty scared.
After we crossed that river,
everything went fast up to the
Rhine river where we stopped again.
We were at ROmagen, where the
big Ludndorf bridge was. Watched

Beautiful $4,000 Public Recreation
Park Proposed At Buffet-Dinner
Given By VIM. Beatus At Montezuma

zens, was host to about 100 men.
The Nogales Rotary Club, acting
through its post war work pile COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Beatus is
chairman, submitted the park pro-
posal and termed it 'Must Be Done
Project No. L.
For small children there would be
a playground with swings, slides,
bars, rings, wading pools, etc.
For the young folks of school age,
a large, modern swimming pool,
tennis courts, badminton and volley
ball courts and other attractions,
including a baseball diamond.
For the older people there would
be croquet, horse shoe games, and
shuffleboard and comfortable bench
es would be provided as well as
tables for checkers, cards, and other
games.
If the park is built, the best land
scape artist obtainable will be en-
ployed, Mr.. Beatus said, and added
that the park would have it's own
wells and water supply, a water
purifier to keep the water in the
swimming pool clear and clean at all
times.
The Rotary Club desires to CO.
operate with the post war commit
tees of the City of Nogales, the
Lions Club, the Chamber of Com
merce, the county Board of Super
visors, all ex-servicemen's organiza-
tions, lodges, churches, clubs. and
every individual and organization in
Santa Cruz County in bringing
about establishment of the proposed
greatly needed park.
EDITORS NOTE: If a good
"doer and go-getter" committee is
organized and gets busy immedi-
ately it is our belief there would
not be much difficulty raising
$4,000 or more for such a park
through contributions by the peO-
pie of this county. 1t will be
much easier to raise the money
