helped to make the Kenilworth

outstanding in the state. The Ken
ilworth school All Club alone ac-
counted for $21, 200 of the total of
almost $50, 900 that the All Clubs
of Pinal County sold in the last
drive. The county ranked third in
the state in war bond sales during
the drive which was the first war
bond campaign in which the All
clubs of Arizona had been organ
lied to cover the farm ranch areas
of the state.
Upton Wins Bond
Upton won $25 war bond which
was one of the war bonds donated
as prizes by the o. S. Stapley Com

standing All Club leaders of the
state, according to o. w. Dishaw,

leader Just before he joined the
U. S. Navy last fall, and N. Nc
Laughlin who was in charge OF
state publicity during the 5th War
Loan drive and a member of the
Examiner staff.
University Supports Plan
The All plan and method of or
ganization was submitted to Charles
u. Pickrell, director of the Agricul-
ture Extension Service of the Uni
versity of Arizona, who gave full
cooperation and the support of his
organization for the promotion of
war bond sales in rural areas. Act
ing All State Leader o. w. Dishaw
took over the operation and man
agement of the All campaign when
Mckee, who refused deferment for
essential work and family left early
in November to serve in the navy.

dollars with which to buy Bis
bomber, was set for Arizona's Al
Clubs, but, with final reports still
incomplete this week. more than

The main pumping areas are in
Pinal and Maricopa counties, with
smaller sections in Pima and Gra-

FOLLOWING THE

legislative hearing in p h n X

ponents discussed the proposed
state water code covering the use
of underground water it became
apparent there is little likelihood a
code will be adopted by this legis-
lature.

The Coolidge examiner., 1945-02-23
A HASTILY CONCEIVED

water code must of necessity be a
makeshift affair at the best and
we've struggled along here in Ari-
zona for many years with no rule
of law governing the use of under
ground water. Surely the delay of
another year or two could not be
too disastrous even though
proponents of the measure would
like us to believe there will be vir-
tually no water left in another
couple of years.
