Will Present Bill To
Regulate Racing

Plans for nter-cOmmunity COOP
eration-especially between Phoe-
nix and Tucson-in drawing up
suitable bill to present to the 18th
legislature i'm january to regulate
horse racing in the state are being
discussed here by the Racing Regu-
lation Committee of the Phoenix
Chamber of Commerce.
The committee, of which David
|P. Jones, Phoenix attorney, us
chairman, seeks legislation pro-
viding for the proper regulation Of
race meets and fixing limitation
on the number of days of racing
permitted annually.
Melville H. Haskell, Tucson,
chairman of the racing committee
of the Southern Arizona Horse
Breeders Association, attended the
last meeting of the group, and it is
expected that representatives OF
the Tucson Chamber of Commerce
will be invited to attend later
meetings.
The breeders association has
prepared a bill, similar to that
passed by the legislature two years
ago but vetoed by Governor Os-
born. The measure was rejected
at that time because of the proce-
dure it set up for the appointment
of racing commission members.
The proposed bill covers only
horse racing and would eliminate
the almost unrestricted racing that
prevailed in Phoenix and Tucson
after wartime bans on racing were
lifted until only recently when the
state supreme court gave the tax
commission greater leeway to ex-
ercise judgment in. the issuance
of race meet permits.

GENERAL EISENHOWER SEND CHRISTMAS
MESSAGE ToIRoop5 THROUGHOUT GLOBE

You, of the United States Army,
are now engaged in a mission
whose essence is the establishment
and maintenance of conditions in
which may prosper worldwide ex'
tension of the Christmas spirit.
Wherever you are stationed and
whatever your task may be, all of
you are guardians of peace. You
strive so that, at this and every
Christmas to come, we may be able
to celebrate the good tidings of
this season, seFenely secure from
the sacrifice and terror of war.
Though accomplishment means that
you must perfect yourselves in the
technical, disciplinary and mental
processes of war, your basic pur-
pose must always be its preven-
ton rather than its waging.
To all who serve or have served
in our country's Army. I extend
my warmest greetings and sincere
good wishes. My thoughts are es-
pecially with those whose duty re-
quires them to spend this Christ
mas away from home and loved
ones. The present sacrifice you
make is a real contribution to
Christmas peace.

Prohibition A Disaster,
Soys Lost Weekend Author

Return to the days of prohibition
would be one of the worst disasters
that could befall the United States,
Charles Jackson, author OF the
best-seller, 1.-THE Lost Weekend"
warned on December 5, 1916, the
18th anniversary of repeal.
In a message to the United
States Brewers Foundation, Inc,
Mr.. Jackson said:
"I most certainly believe that
the record of thirteen years of Ii
cenSed sale is vastly superior to
the horrible record of prohibition,
and in fact can think of few great
er disasters to this country than a
return to the days of the Volstead
act"
His appraisal of the values of
moderation contrasted to the evils
of prohibition was echoed by lead
erS in many walks of life. DR.. W..
Gerry Morgan, past president of
the American Medical Association,
said in a message to the Founda-
ton:
God grant taht we escape am
other disastrous period of prohibi-
ton! No intelligent person having
opportunity for widespread obser-
vation can honestly deny that thir-
teen years of licensed sale of beer,
the beverage of moderation, is ov-
erwhelmingly less injurious to the
public health and morals as whole
than the thirteen years of prohibi-
ton.
Paul Hunter, publisher of Liber-
ty Magazine, wired the Founda-
ton:
"What contrast between thir-
teen years of legal beer and thir-
teen years of bootleg beer in pro-
hibition! Gone are the beer barons,
the shootings and killings, the hi
jacking, the corruption of officials,
the brow-beating and the intimida-
ton of little people. Beer, the bev-
erage of moderation, today is a
legal and respected business prOvid-
| ing jobs for workers, markets for
farmers, revenue for government
and wholesome refreshment and
relaxation for all of us. No fair
minded citizen would want to go
! back"
DR.. A. J. Carlson, Chairman
Emeritus, Department of Physiolo-
gy, the University of Chicago, told
the Foundation:
| Prohibition was a fiasco. Prohi-
bition did not eliminate the chief
har mfrom alcoholic beverages,
that is, compulsive drinking. The
vast majority of Americans use
alsoholic beverages in moderation
and without individual or social in
jury. Good beer aids sobriety by
dilution."
DR.. Bernard L. OSer, director of
the Food Research Laboratories,
New York, was another of those
whose medical and scientific re-
searches have convinced him that
the record of licensed sale is far
better than the evils of prohibition.
He said:
"I welcome the opportunity of
congratulating the brewing indus
try whose self-imposed controls, of
the licensed sale of beer have aid
ed SO materially in eradicating the

LOvELAND, OHIO Washed
by the Miami river, this typical
midwest farming community with
a population Of 1000, is different
from thousands Of other rural
towns. It is the place where q
hard-bitten businessman has real
lied an ideal "a large-scale,
small community industry.
Joe, not Joseph, J. Marx is the
man. A typical small-town urchin,
he began earning his first pennies
by buying a magazine for three
cents and selling it for nickel.
His family was constantly on the
move and it was tough job for
Joe to get regular schooling.
Eventually, Joe got a job with an
advertising agency.
He learned rapidly in this
tough, slick, highly competitive
and cosmopolitan business. He
founded his own agency in Gin
cinnati and opened Offices in Chi
cago and New York. But he
wasn't happy. The cooped-up feel
ing Of the city, noise, hurry,
tenseness, nervousness didn't
"gee" with him. He was still q
small-towner at heart. Somehow,
he wanted a business in the coun-
try. Something which the resi-
dents of a rural community could
participate in and profit by.
Solo Works, Inc. is the busi-
ness of which Joe dreamed,
changed and improved upon as it
grew so that it is today, in real
ity, more of an ideal than it was
when it was merely an idea.
The business now makes 88 diff
ferent household items, such as
all-purpose CLUES and cements,
pot and pan members, rubber
overshces, and rubber mold and
casting outfits, Solo COMA, a
Malayan fruit solution that
makes meat tender, and the orig
inal product, Solo, the rubber
mastic to spread on worn shoes
@The largest manufacturer in
the United States of such items,
Solo produces them in long,
rambling, white-painted build.

The 1947 March of Dimes, spark
plug of the never-ceasing battle
against infanti1e paralysis, will be
held January 18th to 30th, it was
announced by Basis O'Connor,
president of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis.
The need for funds, Mr.. O'Con-
nor said, has never been greater,
since the nation has just emerged
from the worst epidemic of infan-
tile paralysis in the history of the
National Foundation, the >organiza-
ton founded in, 1888 to spearhead
and coordinate the battle against
this disease.
United States Public Health
Service figures show" said Mr..
O'Connor, "that the 1916 polio epi-
demic is second only in severity to
the great epidemic of 1916, which
was the worst in recorded history.
This means that not only was the
Foundation called upon as never
before to supply expensive equip
ment, personnel and every other
aid known to modern science to
the stricken, but it is still being
called upon to assist those who
have not yet achieved maximum
recovery. And there are more Of
these than there have ever beer
before.
"The National Foundation alst
spent millions Of dollars during
1916 in medical scientific research
to find the cause of infantll'
paralysis" Mr.. O'Connor went on
''It will continue to do so, unit
that cause is discovered and rem
dered harmless.

What Kind of
School Attended?

What kind of school does the
boys and girls of your commun-
ity attend? Are you interested in
the environmental factors that
have much to do with the comfort
and protection OF your child?
Mr.. George Marx, Sanitary En-
gineer for the State Department
of Health, today asked these ques-
tions of the parents of Arizona. He
stated that dangers of traffic have
important bearing on the location
of school. The school grounds
should be well drained, the play
area smooth and free from glass,
nails, and other hazards. The
building should be fire proof, or at
least have adequate fire protec-
ton.
Mr.. Marx said that safe drink
ing water should be available. If
the school has running water the
fountains should be ones that
throw water to one side, rather
than the bubbler type which re-
tains water that has touched the
lips. Any fountain in any school
which allows the children to cover
the bubbler with his lips is dan
gerous to the health of the school
child. If there is no running water
in the school, Mr.. Marx said, indi-
vidual cups should be used and kept
clean and hanging where they dc
not drip one on the other.
He stated that the average
school does not have adequate IL
Elimination and gave as an example
an elementary school i'm one of Ari.
zona's larger cities which has nc
electric lighting. In many schools
he said, there seems to be need fol
artificial illumination.
Clean toilets, handwashing equip.
ment, comfortable seating, ventila'
ton, and cleanliness, are all i'm
portant to the health of the schoo
child.
Mr.. Marx said that many Schoo
buildings in Arizona lacked proper
sanitation facilities and that such
schools are a constant menace tx
the health of the school child ant
even to the health of people wthir
a community. Improvement OF olt
school buildings and construction
of new buildings are primarily the
responsibility of the people withir
| the community. Schools today arr
overcrowded and children do no
receive the benefits of the whole
some environment which Shoult
be found in any school. Mr.. MARI
said that many school administra
tors were aware of this need, but
were unable to carry out an ade
quate sanitation program because
of the lack of funds and lack o1
cooperation from the people with
in the community.
The schools, Mr.. Marx pointed
! out, have contact with more of the
children and youth for longer per
iods of time than any other public
agency. No other agency, he said
except the home has such an op
portunity to give them significan
instruction and to develop within
them a wholesome attitude towart
health. The school which provides
adequate, safe sanitary facilitie
contribute to both the physical ant
mental well-being of the schoo
