Sfanfieid District
To Request Federal
Aid in Program

Landowners ready TO start profec-
five work need verificafion ct
program to insure correct run
off Of flood waters of Santa
Cruz and Santa Rosa.
Farmers of Stanfield soil con-
servation district. meeting for the
second time within month. at
Casa Crande court house decided
Tuesday night to request federal
aid from the soil conservation
service of the department of agri-
culture in making a survey of
lands along the route of pro-
posed run-off for flood waters OF
the Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa to
prtvent erosion OF farm lands in
the district.
AT the first meeting of landown-
ers and officials on October Is,
the group empowered the district
board OF supervisors TO investi-
gate possibilities or aid. from the
S.P. railroad, the state, and fed
eral government.
State and railroad authorities
agreed that the problem must be
worked out, but could promise no
aid otEer than making their re-
spective programs fit into the
farmers and the county's pro-
gram.
State corservationist A. F. Ken
nison and Dudley Love, OF the
f!cod control section in the Albu-
querque office of the service, ex-
planned to the group that the serv-
ice was set up by congress primari-
ly to aid the states, and state or
ganizations with soil erosion prob
lens and to determine economic
feasibility OF control programs.
Louis Fiscel. county engineer,
speaking for the county and the
farmers said the railroad and
state could offer little assistance
at present, and the county also
was unable at this time to put a
crew in the field surveying the
land.
Several farmers, feeling that ac-
tion on flood control and preven-
ton of erosion must be taken be-
fore the danger of winter or
spring rains, were ready to start
individual work. but needed final
verification of the specific plan
before work could start.
Newton Cooper, Stanfield board
of supervisors, made the motion
requesting federal aid TO facilitate
operations before the dangerous
rainfall period.
Progress was made in develop
ments, the group noted, in that
some of the landowners have
signed group agreements to CO.
operate for mutual benefits with
their neighbors in any control
work they might attempt to pro-
tect their property.
Among those present at the
meeting were Rex Anderson,
chairman of Stanfield board of su-
pervisors; Allen Rogers, member
of board; Jack Kleck and Leroy
Kleck, landowners; Lynn Morrill,.

owner; Dick Sturgeon and Her.

Training For
Foreign Mission

Especial to Nogales InternationaD
PHOENIX, Nov. 27-Out on the
desert west of Phoenix, close to 300
young American men and women
are training for peacetime roles in
inter-American trade at Thunder
bird Field-the huge, picturesque
installation which during the war
graduated some of the army's ace
airmen.
One of these young students is
Owen K. Mercer, who is a graduate
of Nogales High School.
Mercer, who was navy "Seabee'
during the war, started on Oct. l a
nine-month-long study of the cul-
ture, customs, commerce and lang
uages Of the Latin American ma
tions-a course being given by the
newly-established American Insti-
tute for Foreign Trade.
He and his fellow students are
taking the course to supplement
their general education with specific
knowledge about Latin America
the land where they will seek bust
ness careers.
All of the campus activities of the
students have a Latin American fla
vor.
Dances. with the accent on the
Latin American terpsichorean fa-
vorites, are held regularly. Even
menus, at intervals, are tuned to
Latin America with popular dishes
of the south of the border" nations
replacing the regular American
styled fare, and although students
are not required to become mata-
dorS or toreadors, they are trained
to be intelligent spectators at such
Latin American sports events.
1t Gen. Barton K. Yount, re-
tired, who actively supervised the
training of more than a million
Army Air Forces members during
the war, is president of the Insti-
tute. The dean is Dr. Robert w.
Bradbury, former state department
attache in Latin American coun-
tries, and a former foreign trade
professor at Louisiana State Uni
versity.
