Petitions for
Election Close
Saturday Night
incorporation issue will get
vote in early fall, it is be-
lieved. Petitions go to
supervisors on August 6.

Petitions for Incorporation of
Coolidge will be closed to sigma
lures on Saturday night, according
to the incorporation committee of
the Chamber of Commerce. Quail
fled, interested citizens are urged
to sign before the deadline Is
reached.
Qualifications for petition sign
ers are exactly the same as for
any voter at state or county cleo
ton, the committee points out. The
signer must also be an owner of
real property and reside within
the area for which incorporation
is proposed.
Petitions will be filed and pre-
sented to the county board of SUI
pervisors at the boards monthly
meeting on August 6. 1t is be-
lieved that the incorporation cleo
tion may be scheduled for Septem-
Der or October.
At the time that the petitions
were first circulated, the Chamber
of Commerce pointed out that only
10 per cent Of the landowners in
the area to be incorporated are
required to petition the county
board in order to call an incorpora-
tion election. However, Chamber
of Commerce officers believe that
every Coolidge property owner
should be given the opportunity to
sign the petition for an election.
1t Is believed that many land
owners who do not actually favor
incorporation will sign the petitions
to speed the calling of an election
and the decision at the polls.
A vote on this issue has been
delayed a year. In the meantime
the town has continued to grow
and demand for action on the
matter has increased.
|" II Coolidge incorporates, the in
corporation committee of the
Chamber of Commerce states that
the town will be governed by a
town council and an ex officio
mayor who will serve without sal
ary. In this way responsible gov
ernment will be secured at a min
| imum of expense.

election are in the hands of DR..

Coolidge Field
Observes Air
Corps Birthday
August l is 38th anniversary
of Army Air Forces, Great
ed as Division of Aero
nautics.

1t. Col VIM. G. Tesch, Command
ing Officer of Coolidge Army Air
Field, the Ferrying Division, Trans
port Command base for Arizona,
announces that the Coolidge Army
Air Field will be open to visitors on
August 1st in recognition of the
3Sth Anniversary of the Army Air
Forces. Civilians may visit post
from 500 a. m. to 600 p. m.
The Army Air Corps was created
on August 1st, 1907. The order
creating the corps termed the en-
bryo branch of the United States
Army, Division of Aeronautics."
At the time, an air branch of
the Army was an experiment.
Only three men were originally as
signed to the "Aeronautic Division"
A captain and two enlisted men
comprised the entire department.
Today the personnel of the worlds
most powerful Air Force numbers
over 100000.
August 1st marks another mile
stone in the development of the
Army Air Corps. On August 2,
1909, the first flying machine was
purchased by the Army from
Wright Brothers. Early prophets
doubted that the plane would be of
any use. The first plane was
tested July 1st, 1909 and won ap-
proval by remaining aloft one hour,
twelve minutes, and forty seconds,
which averaged 1885 miles per
hour. Today, there is no army air
craft that has even landing speed
near that slow mark. Completely
travel at a rate of 450 miles per
hour.
College Park, Maryland became
the first worlds military airdrome.
In March 1911, congress appropri-
ated what seemed to be a colossal
sum, $125, 900 for military aviation.
Today that sum woaId pay approx
imately half the price of a BIT,
the Flying Fortress.
In 1913 there were 90 officers
and 81 enlisted men and II planes
in the Army Air Corps. When
America went to war April 6, 1917,
total Army aviation consisted of 65
officers, 1887 enlisted men and 55
airplanes, and not one of them
mounted with machine guns. By
March 1918 military aviation had
expanded to 1000 officers and
12O 900 enlisted men. Today, we
speak in figures of millions of men
and more than 100000 planes.
The Coolidge Base is situated on
the southern route of the Ali
Transport Command and is now
being used extensively in the Pac-
ific redeployment of troops and the
| evacuatio nof wounded and sick
from overseas. The ATC is also
ferrying large numbers of aircraft
| to the Southwest Pacific theater OF
operations and has been since the
evacuation of wounded and sick
| The ATC now has bases on Okina-
wa, Saipan, New Guinea and many
other Pacific islands.
