STREET LIGHTS BY
the end Of this year will come TO
the people OF Coolidge as an ade-
quate Christmas gift certain
~ they will give Us street light
ing where We have had none and
bring Coolidge a long step closer
toward becoming an attractive
city 10 this rich. agricultural val
ley Of Arizona.
NOW THAT THE CITY
fathers have signed an engineer
Ing contract as a prelude 10 call
ing for bids to give Coolidge a
sewage disposal system there are
some who will become impatient
for completion OF the project. Ac-
tually there are several months OF
engineering work to be completed
before an accurate estimate OF
costs can be made. Then comes a
period OF advertising for bids SO
that all interested contractors
may be notified. All in all there
seems little likelihood that all
construction INCIDENT TO the in
staIIation OF sewers and a disposal
plant will be completed before the
end OF Is47.
ONE WOULDN'T CALL
a cigarette lighter a lethal weap-
on nor even a dangerous one.
True. OF course. when In the hands
of adults or even children OF high
school age. But when they become
playthings OF six and seven year
old boys cigarette lighters are
definitely on the blacklist. A
group OF small Coolidge young
sters OF first and second grade
stature were found one day this
week earnestly concentrating while
filling a lighter one Of the more
adventurous had filched pack OF
cigarettes while another had

helping another boy light a Gig

THESE BOYS HAD
purchased the lighter and q can
OF lighter fluid. But one of the
bows had a can OF volatile clean
ing fluid for use In the lighter
which would probably have caused
serious II not fatal burns had the
boys succeeded in using II. Store
owners can help a lot IL they'll
refuse sales OF this and similar
merchandise 10 these little fellows
who. at 6 and 7 and s years can
see only daring and adventure IN
their juvenile experiments with

LITTLE DROPS OF
water make the mighty
ocean" might well be applied 10
the little bits of salvage fat from
the nations kitchens. Rural areas
especially have an opportunity to
save waste fats because of the
butchering and fallen animals
Households profit In soaps, cloth
ing and equipment by turning fats
into commercial channels. There
is an emergency today that must
be met IL we expect TO buy soap
in quantity. commercial fats ana
oils. We have done without many
items and may feel that peaceume
should find a return OF normal
living needs. Our cooperation Is
necessary 10 make this possible.

making their own soap from the
waste fat which Is another drop to

EDUCATIONAL LEADERS
OF thirty nations have recently
met and united In the plan for ed
ucating for peace. There Is the
suggestion that large numbers of
scholars be exchanged in foreign
schools and colleges, covering also
outside subjects OF the nations
music. literature, art and books.
There would be a very strong in
ternational teachers organization
TO serve in this world education.
Strengthening teaching in each
country they would unite the pu-
pil and instructor. One asks how
nations can cooperate when no
two have the same set Of text
books. Prejudice has made the
same subject entirely different
