Silent Sentinel towering in arid

Bathed for centuries with rain and

Awake in the dawn of the crimson

Asleep in silence when the day is

Guardian over valleys and plains

Forever crowned by the Heavens at

Often hidden in clouds and mist

Without concept of boundaries to

The records of men are nothing to

In the foothills of life they lose

Draped with fern and forest, and

The life of the wilds is safe in your

Arizona Barring
Drunk Drivers
From, Highways

PHOENIX, April 4-Careless
and drunken drivers are being bar
red from Arizona streets and high
ways at an average rate of more
than $50 a month.
Although the accident record is
still appalling, officials feel sure
that it would be even worse if it
were not for the policy adopted by
the State Highway Department Jan.
/.
This policy is to suspend for
varying periods, the licenses of all
offenders convicted of two vehicle
in-motion violations.
Every court sends the Highway
Department a complete report on
its traffic cases and the timer
hears promptly. He is always given
an opportunity to come to Phoenix
and have a hearing.
In February there were ia sus-
pensions, compared with 126 in
January and % in February of 1945.
There were 81 revocations of license.
These were mandatory under the
law relating to drunken driving, but
63 of those up for suspension ap-
peared for hearings.

Railroads And
Shippers Wage
War On Waste

Shippers throughout the Western
states have joined the 10th annual
perfect shipping campaign of the
Regional Shippers Advisory Boards
to be conducted throughout the
nation during April in an effort to
reduce losses which last year reach
ed 100000
With retail stores and customers
clamoring for the scarce goods of
Americas industries, E. w. Powers,
superintendent of freight protection
for Southern Pacific, said the pur-
pose of the campaign on the part of
the railroad lines will be to intenSi-
fly interest of shippers, carriers and
freight receivers in improved pack
ing, loading and handling of mer-
chandise in transit.
Perfect shipping is the concern
of the entire community" Powers
said. 1.-THE waste from careless
packing, marking and handling of
valuable and scarce materials has
reached tremendous figure, and
the wits of all are challenged to
reduce this loss to the minimum.

Study Provided
For Veterans

SCRANTON, Pa, April 4-Inter-
national Correspondence Schools has
completed arrangements for direct
enrolment of veterans under the
CT. Bill of Rights, Ralph E. Weeks,
I. c. S. president, announced today.
More than 400 courses of study
are thus made available to ex-ser-
vicemen who are entitled to the
educational benefits of that law,
Mr.. Weeks said. The majority of
these courses are in the field of
technical training for positions in
business and industry although the
list includes all the regular high
school subjects.
"A veteran may now enroll in the
usual way and bring his l. c. s.
course under the provisions of the
G.I. Bill by simply presenting a
Certificate Of Entitlement, Mr.
Weeks said. HE can obtain the
certificate from the nearest office
of the Veterans Administration"
Those who enroll under the GIL.
Bill receive exactly the same service
given to students who enroll indie
pendently, Mr. Weeks explained.
That includes not only the text
books and other materials but also
the personal service of the instruc-
ton staff and the field force The
instructors correct and comment i'll
detail on every lesson paper sent in
by student, while the field force
provides continuing personal con-
tact between school and student
throughout the duration of a course.
Mr.. Weeks said that there has
been a strong demand for cores
pondence study from veterans who
want to take jobs and continue
their education at the same time
Now it is possible for them to enroll
directly with l. G. S. under the GIL.

School Districts
Voting Bonds For
New Buildings

PHOENIX, April 4-School dis
tricts are voting bonds in Arizona
to put up buildings to relieve almost
desperate congestion. But one al
ready has found construction costs
out of reach and the same hurdle
may block other projected improve
ments.
All bids for new lunchroomS and
home economics buildings in the Os-
born district, just north of Phoenix
were rejected. The lowest, 100000,
was $4,000 more than had been
allotted for these purposes in the
bonds recently approved. Although
the trustees still have the matter
under consideration, the final out
come may be indefinite postpone
ment.
Property owners of Phoenix know
all about swollen costs, yet they
approved by a vote of 727 to 65 an
issue of ST, ,750,000. Two new schools
are to be erected, one for colored
children, and two sites are to be
bought for future use. Practically
ali existing buildings will be enlarg-
ed.

west of Phoenix, has voted $3.50 O0(
in bonds to expand it's high school
Yuma has approved $250,000 issl,e

A sure sign that spring is approaching-the April Perfect
Shipping Campaign. Once again, for the tenth year, shippers
and transport agencies are joining in a month-long effort to
reduce damage to goods in transit.
Last year at this time there was a desperate urgency to
move freight as quickly and with as little damage as possible
Items damaged or lost by faulty packing or rough handling,
or by improper addresses were detrimental to the war effort.
This year the war is ended, but the need for perfect ship
ping is as great as ever. Everything possible must be done to
speed up civilian production quickly to level off the explosive
demand for goods. Efficient shipping is an important part of
the distribution job that must accompany high production.
Public cooperation is essential if the goal of perfect ship
ping" is to be reached. The public as we'll as members of the
shipping agencies and transportation industry, must help be-
cause it is the biggest shipper.
Most goods are transported in a box of some kind. Of
course, safe delivery depends upon the selection of the right
kind of box, but the shipper should know what will happen in
side the box. 1t is Of little use to have a fine, strong box
in which the contents can rattle themselves to destruction.
Every precaution must be taken to safeguard the goods by
proper inner packing, such as liners, partitions, wrappers,
cushioning or other material. After proper packing, proper
addressing is next in Importance. A lot of common sense and
a little care are the principal requisites needed for perfect
shipping.
A national safe shipping campaign may not seem of great
interest to many persons at the moment, but if they will recall
it's message the next time they ship, they may be saved dis
appointment and inconvenience-and one phase of the camgaign
will have served its purpose.

aVans no longer had to take the
long overland journey through Iran
from India, and Tabriz lost it's i'm.

ancient times, has fallen to 219, 900
today, although it is still Trans Sec
