C. William. AFi20aa state soil con-
servation commissioner, for hear
ing on the proposed Stanfield Soil
Conservation District. to be held
Wednesday night at eight o'clock,
March q, in the city hall at Casa

their area. Both Williams and
Lynn Anderson, assistant state soil

pected to be at the hearing. 1t is

interest has resulted in the nomina-
ton of five men for a three mem

Cooperation Asked
AS Limited Garbage
Collections Begin

Town officials are asking the CO.
operation of Coolidge residents in a
limited garbage pickup schedule
starting this week While funds
are not available TO start a regular
garbage collection system at this
time. the town council has hired a
man with a truck who will make
the rounds as often as his time
permits.
In order that these rounds may
be made as quickly as possible resi-
dents are asked to leave only wet
garbage out for pickup and TO
place this in small containers. If a
large amount is to be left it is
requested that it be placed in a
number of small substantial con-
tainers rather than one large one.

Bears Drop 1O-1
Decision To Mesa

The Coolidge Bears baseball nine
played their first game Of the sea-
son Tuesday and were definitely
out of the groove. They took a 10
to / drubbing from the Mesa Jack
rabbits. Handicapped by only four
days of practice the Coolidge team
rang up more errors than hits and
the Rabbits, who collected only six
hits, cashed in on the boners.
Coolidge twirlers George Acton
and Jimmie Davis were erratic, is
suing six walks between them. Ac-
ton, occupying the mound for the
first four innings struck out three
and walked three and Davis famed
five and passed three.
Jackson, Mesa hurler, struck out
seven and walked none. Jack Pret-
ger and Acton shared the catching
chores for the Bears.

Plans For Federal
Housing Project
Are Abandoned
Survey Finds Few Homeless
Veterans In c coli d z e.
M ore Dwellings To Be
Available

Convinced that the acute house
shortage which has faced returned
Coolidge eX-servicemen during the
past few months has greatly i'm
proved, the town council decided
this week to abandon plans for a
projected federal housing enter
prise.
A survey last week, in which
American Legion officials and
others acquainted with local hous-
ing problems were questioned, in
dicated that few. if any, Coolidge
veterans are homeless. Two months
ago, when the council ordered it's
first survey of the dwelling short
age, it was estimated that 54 ex-
serYicemen, many of them with
antilles, were unable to find a
place to live.
Last weeks canvass of Coolidge
vets shows that virtually all of the
"a have found homes or apart
ments. This, combined with the
tact that as many as 90 new apart
ments are expected to become
available within the next GO days,
convinced the council that it would
be unwise to undertake the ex-
pense of installing a housing prof.
ect in which most of the units
would probably go begging.
Following their vote to cancel
the project a wire was sent Tues
day notifying the federal public
housing authority that the emer-
gency units were no longer needed,
and the town is seeking to termin-
ate lease on property located on
Wilson avenue, originally selected
as the site for the project.
The project originally called for
the installation of 20 units. Besides
securing the land the town was to
have provided sewage facilities,
manage the units, and tear down
and dispose of the buildings, foun-
dations, etc, when the units were
no longer needed.

More Than 1000
Pinal Servicemen
Get Discharges

Approximately two-thirds of Pi-
nal county's inducted servicemen
have received their discharges, and
by late summer it is estimated that
practically all of them, except those
who have re-enlisted, will be home.
According to B. F. Thum, clerk
of the county selective service
board, 2,129 members of the armed
forces from this county had re-
ported to the board up to last Fri
day. The county's total servicemen
numbered at the peak close to A.
900, Thum estimates. of which g.
262 were inducted. The remaining
700 enlisted prior to registration.

Spring Slips In

Ross E. Kimball, Independent candidate for Labor Commissioner this morning issued a statement thanking all Alaskans who sup ported him in Tuesdays election.
 Kimball, who was released from the Army only a week before cleo tion, had only a few days in which to campaign but boiled surpris- ingly large number of votes as an Independent candidate without party support.
 He stated that he doesn't regret running, even though losing, be- cause of the opportunity he had for meeting the many Alaskans he would not otherwise have met.
 Kimball will leave soon for Mis- souri to visit his mother and fath- CT whom he hasn't seen for 10 years, and plans to be back in Ju- neau when the Legislature meets in January.
 Kimball said he anticipates being acquainted with 90 percent of the Alaskan populace before next elec- tion.
