The destiny of this city, of its future and above ALL
that of the children will be in the hands of the people
of Coolidge when they go to the polls next Wednesday
in the election to determine whether not Coolidge
shall become an Incorporated city.
We who property in Coolide and those of us who
will become property in the future have in
children the most compelling reasons why must have
the safeguards and security which Incorporated COM
munity affords. They the primary reasons why
need the planned progress as a community which
only with Incorporation Their interests de-
mand that they grow to adult men and women up
right and respectable citizens integral part of
community of which they may we'll be proud to call
HOME and that can only come IN an Incorporated
community with administration to
civic stability and their future.
For this fact beyond dispute we should vote for in
corporation.
And to there is another cogent reason why incor
poraton of Coolidge is imperative.
Hundreds of our young men have left Coolidge
during the which has just ended Some of them
have died for Others of them have shed their blood
and encountered almost uncomfortable hardship
all have given of their time they have sacrificed their
schooling, their family life and their financial
interests.
To these men Coolidge owes debt it never
fully repay But for them can try and make Cool
idge the most attractive city in Arizona and, by ncor
poratng NOW, be ready to share in the post war
building and improvement projects which to
be offered to EVERY INCORPORATED town or
city thoughout the land.
And for this fact, also beyond dispute, we should
vote for incorporation.
