idge were awakened the other
morning by low-flying planes which
were crop dusting yet com
plant was made against students.
School instructors at Coolidge
Flying Service forbid low flying

are taken with yiolators.
ARIZONA NATIONAL
guard plans are In the making
and its time for Coolidge TO get
its oar In the water II We want a
national guard armory and a Da-
tional guard unit stationed here.
Certainly the city Is sufficiently
large 10 maintain a unit OF the
guard ana surely the
need OF a citizen army need not
again be- sold" 10 the people.
The national guard has always
been the nations second line OF
defense aud many national guard
regiments have made outstanding
war records This Is particularly
true OF Arizona's l5Sth infantry
which became the l5sth combat
team and gaze su,h a fine account
a0 Itself in the south Pacific
against the Japs To this organiE-
lion belonged a good many cool
idge men anyone OF all Of whom
could form the nucleus of a guard
unit for Coolidge
REPRE- ESENTATIVES OF
the two major political parties IN
Arizona met IN Phoenix early this
week and drafted their platforms
"A silly. futile aud time wasucg
procedure. Isn't IL? Eyeryone
knows these state platforms are
meaningless. Here Ia Arizona
where all the democratic nOmi-
nees are elected to office
we'll. practically every one d.
precinct committeeman meet and
choose delegates TO the county
convention and the county con
ventiOn selects delegates to
the state convention. And at the
state convention the governor des-
ignates the chairman and a plat
form Is presented. NOT. mind
you. TO the democratic legislative
and executive nominees. but TO the
delegates
NOW THESE DELEGATES
adopt a platform which is either
completely disregarded when the
democratic legislature conyenes or
witch Is so impossible that CON
currAnce by elected officials Is
Impossible. II isn't only the dem
ocrats. IThe republicans do the
same thing although only In the
hope that someday the nation will
20 republican again and they'll
need a national committeeman TO
pass out the patronage.
DESPltE NE NEW
OPA Law prices are going to rise
some OF them rather high.
Here's why, In a few days In
creases will come which were plan
ned before oPA was allowed TO
expire al the end of June. Then
in about 80 days will come in
creases permissible under the new
Law these will be dealers
increases mostly on automobiles
and farm machinery. Then In the
faIl we may expect manufacturers
boosts with consequent retail rises
which. all In all. win account for
a fun 20 per cent rise in living
costs for the fellow on a fixed
salary not SO high for those
who have had money enough TO buy
better grades OF merchandise.

1T HAS RECENTLY
been determined that evidence has
been found that the virus OF infan-
tile paralysis can be abundantly
spread in polluted water by i'm
proper disposal of human sewage.
This from an Illinois public health
officer. II true every mother and
father in Coolidge should never
have another good nights sleep
until an adequate sewer system Is
installed. That's the number one
Job for Coolidge and II should
never be out of our minds for an
instant
