Chambers Request
To Retain Hospital
Facilities Refused
Conversion To Vets Hospi-
tai Impractical, General
Bradley Says

The Coolidge Chamber of Com
merce this week received word that
request. supported by the cham
ber, to retain hospital facilities at
the Florence Prisoner of War Camp
for use as veterans hospital, has
been refused.
Several weeks ago the chamber
wrote letter to the Veterans Ad-
ministration. setting forth the ad-
yantages of keeping the camps
hospital facilities intact after the
post was closed. II was pointed out
that veterans hospital located in
this area might thus be set up at b
low cost, using buildings and equip
ment already on hand.
The chamber received an answer
this week, however, from General
Omar n. Bradley, head of the Vet
eran's Administration, who stated
that the request was being declined
due to the fact that prisoner of war
camps do not lend themselves prop
erly to conversion as veterans hos
pitais and because Of an insuffi-
cient number of doctors and nurses.
The chamber has been advised
that the OPA office at Florence
will not be supported further by the
Florence Chamber of Commerce,
and that If the department were
moved to Coolidge the Florence
chamber would not be able to help
pay the office rent as 1t has done
in the past.
Members of the Coolidge board
of directors voted to support q
measure which would add one cent
to the gasoline tax. Moneys raised
thereby would be used for further
construction and maintenance OF
state highways. Rev. Joseph Kam-
phuis. member of the board, told Of
action taken at a meeting of Ari-
zona chamber of commerce road
committees recently in Phoenix, to
request that the tax addition be
made.
A proposal of the u. S. Chamber
of Commerce that ownership of
federally owned lands be transfer
red to state and private ownership
was voted support by the Coolidge
chamber
]. j. Jones submitted his resigna-
tion as secretary and the chamber
named Raymond Sroaf to succeed
him.

bitterly disappointed, since the

By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
Try and visualize an owl no larger
tnan an English sparrow standing
beside horned owl, the giant of
the clan.
Elf owls have personality and IN
dlviduality Some of them wear a
brown uniform at the time their
mate and offspring are clothed in
gray. This is known as dichromatic:
Having two phases of color, in
dependently of age, sex or season."
They always select the highest
Woodpecker hole in the tallest giant
cactus for home. Elf owls are
nocturnal hunters. They break
their slumbers at noon. sitting in
their doorway in the bright sun
shine.
Whether these night workers wear
a gray or brown suit they are almost
invisible. Over the ground color
are numerous bars, spots, splotches
of pale brown, gray, white or buff
all blending with the desert.
closeup reveals an alert fell
low with large lemon-yellow eyes,
over which are large white eve
browns" startling in their contrast.
He wears no ear tufts and his crown
is we'll decorated with irregular spots
OF cinnamon brown and buff. Stiff
bristles jutting out like scanty whis-
kers spring from the base Of his
horn-colored beak. On the back of
his neck, a narrow brown collar is
interrupted by many white or gray
spots. Instead of soft feather leg
gins, his slender legs are clad in
stiff hairs And whether his tail
be square or roundish it will be
crossed by four or five narrow
broken bands of light gray.
Elf owls are abundant over South
ern and Lower California east to
Southern Texas, south over the ta-
bleland of Mexico and Puebla. They
are successful hunters of grasshop-
perS, beetles and ants.
Woodpeckers on the desert rarely
find hollow trees or branches to
meet their need. Giant cactus
trunks with their candelabralike
branches are drilled full with their
nesting holes. The sap quickly oozes
out and hardens. Permanent
smooth-walled, gourdlike rooms re-
suit. These homes offer ideal ac-
>commodations for elf owls.
Twins, even quintuplets are born
to these high towers. They wear
a much darker brown than their
parents. Early in their life they are
expert hunters.

The bidding:
North. East. South. West.
IA Pass. "a Pass.
~ Pass. Pass. Pass.
Partner, you bid a new suit.
didn't think I could pass" Partner,
thought I had to show you six
card suit" These expressions indi-
eating a distinct popular tendency
were heard with great regularity
around the room when this hand
was played in tournament some
time ago. 1t seems almost incon-
ceivable that such an apparently in
nocent hand should have caused so
much trouble among a group of
players who may be regarded as
above average. Just another in
stance where failure to apply the
rudiments of common sense was re-
sponsible for the taking of a need
less loss.
North opened the bidding with
one spade and South's response of
two clubs is about as well as he can
do with this collection of cards.
North naturally bid two hearts, at
which point all the players who held
the South hand should have been
gratifieo that the scene had been
changed from spades to hearts, and
have abandoned any idea of going
places.
The desire to rebid the six-card
club suit should have been sup
pressed. If partner has a number
of spades and hearts it is not very
likely that he will be interested In
South's clubs. Furthermore, in max
ing the two-club response, there can
hardly be any doubt that South did
at least his full duty by the hand,
perhaps more. Any further action
would almost surely tend to head
the partnership toward trouble.
One player went so far as to bid
two no-trump at this point lin order
to show the diamond support
That's the sign of an out and out
exhibitionist. Bridge players should
learn tc subdue the infantile desire
to show everything. Whenever YOU
are convinced that your side cannot
go game and you find yourself in the
best contract, that is the time to
pass.
| There was the mistaken notion
among many of these players that
the change of suit forced South to
speak again. 1t is well for the STU
dent to have this point cleared I'D.
The only person subject to that rule
Is the player who actually opened
the bidding. No other person at the
table is bound by that rule, II
North wishes to force South to speak
again, he must jump in a new suit.
Had North's second bid been three
hearts, South would have had no
choice but to bid again.
To repeat, change of suit forces
the opener to bid again, but it does
not force any one else at the table.
