McF FarIand Offers
Terminal Pay For
Enlisted Veterans
Many Enlisted Men And
Women Would Get 500
To $500 Bonus After Serv-
ice

Senator Ernest W. Mcfarland
has introduced a bill in the Senate
for himself and Senators Edwin G.
Johnson Cd. Colorado). Burnett r.
Mayhank. ID. s. CD and Dennis
Chavez Cd. n. M. The bill pro-
vides terminal leave pay for en-
listed personnel and includes a ret
roactive clause 10 pay discharged
enlisted personnel in lump sums in
lieu Of terminal leave pay.
The bill is of Importance TO en-
listed personnel. presently in the
service. and TO veterans who served
ia an enlisted capacity. IL will do
away with the present unfair prac-
tice of making terminal leave pay
ments To officers and prohibiting
such payments TO enlisted person
mel. Senator Mcfarland said.
Many enlisted men and women
who have been discharged. viii now
receive either one or two hundred
dollars TO compensate them for the
lack OF accrued annual leave pay,
hich would have been paid them
had the law been in effect at the
time of their discharge" The per
sons now serving in an enlisted ca
pacity will receive their terminal
leave pay at the time of discharge,
This bill Is a revised version OF
bill introduced earlier by the
Arizona Senator. Mcfarland said
that investigation had revealed that
enlisted personnel who had served
overseas usually had six weeks oil
two months furlough time due al
the time they were returned to the
states and discharged. The boys
and girls who served wholly within
the United States received more
furlough time so had less due al
time OF discharge.
II is believed that payment will
bmade upon presentation of Dis
charge Certificates to any army fl
nance office or naval installation
or recruiting office. Payment viii
be made direct 10 the veteran in
volved and record OF such payment
will be stamped upon the dis
charge certificate.

For Precinct

The people of Maricopa have pc
titioned the Pinal County Board OF
Supervisors for assignment of
voting precinct to that district.

OUR SLIPS SHOW

and show in the pittiless light OF
the written word. Every other busi-
hess can make mistakes and only a
few know OF them. We in the
newspaper business, and especially
those OF US in the smaller fields OF
American journalism, make our
mistakes where everybody can see
them. Yes. our slips show but,
honestly, we try quite diligently
to prevent them Last week we
placed a business house two blocks
further down the street by simply
printing a 5 instead OF a 3 in an
address. And then we Inadvertently
changed the name of the Surety
Title and Trust Company OF Flor

these slips are quite persistent. We
recall one particularly stormy
month when in four successive is
sues we made a mistake in adyer-
tising copy for one single merchant.
We were yanking hair out by the
roots before we hit the groove
again. But we try And well gladly
make correction when our slips

ia the community life OF Florence

for those who live in the two
towns. Not only have the bust

relations with the men who have
come and gone during the past
three years but personal ties have
been knotted which will last as
long as any OF us live. Close
friendships have been made. Fam
ily re attonsh ips have been
strengthened through marriage.
Some OF our girls who wed sol
diers have moved TO many eastern
cities. Soldiers whose original
homes were IN the east now live
