Casa Grande Ruins Anticipating
Big Season AS Travel Ration Ends

decline of the tourist season in
May. there will likely be more ac-
tivity daily at Casa Grande Ruins
than when the prehistoric Indian
tribes called it home centuries ago.
For a nominal fee visitors are
escorted by a park service guide
TO the large main building from
which the monument got its name,
and various other rooms and cham
bers. A museum and picnicking
grounds are also available.
Until recently the help shortage
bothered Bicknell considerably and
he sometimes had to run things
single-handed. However, he is now
assisted by Ralph Fowler, of the
national parks service, and in the
near future a former Casa Grande
monument guide, Peter H. Schuft,
recently discharged from the Navy,
will be back to help show the
visitors around.
A former superintendent of the
monument, Charles A. Richey, who
was transferred to Grand Canyon
as assistant superintendent, was
recently promoted to higher jot
in the park service headquarters in
Chicago.
The Coolidge examiner., 1946-01-11

Now that gas rationing is past
history and automobile owners are
liable to get those badly-needed
tires shortly, Casa Grande Ruins
national monument is anticipating
a record season. It's already start
ed, according to Superintendent Al
Bicknell, who announces that the
2,522 sightseers who visited the
ruins during November, 1945, was
the largest number of visitors in
any month since the guide fees
were established in 1889.
During December, 1945, we had
1876 visitors, which made it the
second biggest month" said Bick-
nell. Travel-hungry citizens, who
had to postpone their trips during
the war, have already started to
make up for lost time, and it seems
a great many of them have the his
toric Casa Grande ruins on their
lists of places to see.
Despite the thin tires, the tour
lists came from all parts of the ma
ton. Registered on the big guest
book during December were visit
ors from as states and Alaska. II
new tires are available in any de-
cent quantity before the normal

March Of Dimes
Opens Drive To
Combat Disease

Preparations have been made
throughout the state. as well as
locally. for the beginning OF the
March of Dimes Monday. January
II. The annual drive for funds
for use in the treatment and pre-
vention OF infantile paralysis will
continue through January 81.
The need for funds 10 combat
this disease is greater than ever
before because the number OF cases
throughout the nation. in the state,
and In some of the counties shows
an increase. However. the re-
markable work OF the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis,
working through its state repre-
sentatives and county chapters as
well as nationally. is causing re-
markable reduction in the extent
OF the crippling effects OF the di-
sease. Immediate treatment OF the
most intensive type serves to pre-
vent the AlpSl aOhO ~'@D-~
than half Of the victims now get
well. about 80 per cent are but
slightly affected, and less than 20
per cent remain handicapped.
There were 294 cases OF the dis
ease cared for in Arizona in 1945.
and several counties showed an
increase over the previous year.
Mrs. Mary Jane Bryson, county
Embarrassing chairman. is stressing
the fact that half of the money
raised in this county remains here
for treatment of local cases, while
only one-half goes to national
headquarters for use in epidemic
areas, for research, and for educa-
tion.
Contrary to most fund-raising
campaigns, no quotas are set for
counties or the state. People are
urged only to accept the matter as
their responsibility and to con-
tribute literally to the March OF
Dimes.

Seek Pay Raise
For Blind, Aged
Senator E. w. McF arland To
Introduce Bill To Increase
Assistance.

Legislation providing for a 35 per
cent increase in the federal con-
tribution for old age assistance. aid
10 dependent children, and aid to
the blind will be introduced imme-
diately upon the reconvening of the
congress, Senator Ernest w. Nc
Farland Of Arizona has disclosed
In a statement announcing that
he was drafting the legislation, the
Arizona senator declared that "the
old people are the forgotten peo-
pie Of this country. The cost OF
living has gone up an average OF
80 per cent. more in some states.
We have increased the salaries of
federal employees; labor through
out the country Is demanding and
receiving increases to offset higher
living costs: and yet we expect
old people with no other source Of
income to continue to exist on $40
a month or less"
we seem 10 have money to lend
10 foreign nations, establish in
ternational banks. and aid the hun
cry and cold of many nations. 3"
Senator Mcfarland said. IL am not
opposed TO any of that but | don't
believe that anyone In congress or
in the administration desires to
overlook the problems in our own
land"
"The senator's bill. which would
amend sections 303. SOB. and 1908
Of the social security act. would
increase the present $40 a month
payment for old age assistance to
persons 65 years old or older by a
maximum of S14 per month. The
present social security act provides
for a fifty-fifty matching of feder-
al and state funds to finance the
$40 month payment. The McFar-
land amendment would increase the
federal governments share by 35
per cent or 81 a month but there
would be no requirement for the
individual states TO increase their
share by the same proportion. In
those states which met the in
creased federal share, the total in
crease for each old age pensioner
would be S14 month. putting
present payment at s54 a month.
the senator explained. w h r e
states did not increase, the maxi
mum payment would be SAT per
month.
