A postgraduate school on cancer
research is scheduled for inaugural

thorities on cancer, and DR.. David

known Nogales, Sonora, physician.
Installation of the two largest
radio therapy machines in Mexico

ject was facilitated by waving of
export-import regulations on the
costly radio equipment, it was said.

group of cancer specialists among
Arizona and Sonora physicians. This
group will receive special training
in cancer diagnosis, DR.. RoSenthal
said, and only those cases recon-
mended by the group will be treated

Veterans Swarm To Arizona; 10000
OF World War And $4,000 OF
World War II Now Residing In State

in the boundaries of the state.
More than one-third of our vet
eran population has migrated from
other states since leaving military
service" the report states. "These
veterans and their families are po-
tentially great assets to the state.
However, their absorption into our
economy creates problems that call
for considerable patience on the
part of the veterans and plenty of
serious planning on the part of the
community leaders"
The article goes on to point out
that the newcomers need employ
ment, and to offer jobs to several
thousands of them requires Gin
vestment of several hundred million
dollars, one way or another" 1t
adds that the present labor force
as compared with prewar days
shows many of the veterans have
obtained work.
1t estimates the states labor
force now is at least 250,O0O men
and women, as compared with $780,
900 in 1910. In the prewar year,
10000 we're gainfully employed;
10000 were employed on public
works, and 10000 listed as unem-
ployed The present work force
breakdown shows 225,OOO or 100000
gainfully employed.
''Thus it is safe to say that I'M
employment, although rising is
both numerically and proportion
ately less serious at present than it
was in 194O," the report concludes.
Many more people probably would
elect to live in Arizona than now do,
if they could find satisfactory en-
ployment."

Two Graduates At
Outfitters Outing

People from all over the county
gathered at the Little Outfit in San
Rafael Valley Saturday to enjoy the
annual outing and witness the ranch
schools closing ceremonies, during
which two students received their
eighth grade diplomas.
The afternoon was spent in sports
competitor, including riding, racing
and a rifle match. Presentation
of awards and graduation services
were held at sundown.
A delicious pot-luck supper was
followed by the annual show in the
natural amphitheater behind the
school,
"1947 Folly was minstrel with
Ned Hutchinson as interlocutor, and
Fritz Burns, John Chinook, Tony
Colfelt and Tim Nuveen, endmen.
The show was composed of songs,
skits and dances, including come
dy ballet number starring Mrs. Buel
Hutchinson. The most hilarious bit
were the unrehearsed antics during
the finale of Leonard Hardell, six
year old student, who thought him
self unobserved by the audience and
gave vent to yawns and other ex-
pressions of boredom as any young
ster, exhausted by a trying day, is
liable to do.
A dance with music by Hummel S
orchestra, ended the festivities.

Organization Meet
Gou. Osborn
Will Return
To Hospital

PHOENIX, May 22-Gov Sidney
P. Osborn said Wednesday he will
re-enter the University of California
Hospital in San Francisco next
week.
The chief executive, who spent
almost the entire month of April in
the West Coast Hospital, said he
would remain there only about three
or four days this time.
When first admitted to the ho-
pital, the governor was given an
extensive checkup by specialists
seeking to determine the extent and
nature of a muscular atrophy which
has sapped his strength and rem
dered him crippled.
DR.. Robert Aird, who administer
ed a special red dye to the governor,
said on April 20 that it would be
several weeks before it could be de-
termined whether there was any
great change in Mr.. Osborn's con-
dition.
When the governor .re-enters the
hospital next week, DR.. Aird and his
assistants will presumably make an
other checkup of his condition and
see what success the special dye has
had in correcting or at least arrest
ing the crippling disease.
Since his return from San Fran
cisco April 27 the governor has been
advised by his physician to conserve
his strength as much as possible.
Despite this advice, the chief ex-
-cUtive has insisted on keeping up
with the affairs of his office, al
though he has confined his office
visits to the afternoons.

We always have fun out at
Knagge's arena as we just rope
until we give out. It's a good soft
arena and shade trees for cars to
park under. Mike and Helen had
free beer for the ropers. Mike
hopes to have his sprinkler hooked
up by next Sunday, which will help
settle the dust. A few good rains
like we had Tuesday night will help
a lot too. There will be another
roping out there next Sunday al
400 pm. I'll see you there

K. w. Burnham, long time pres
ident of the Jackson County
Board of Supervisors and one OF
the county's top civic leaders for
more than a quarter of a century,
announced this week that he will
not be a candidate for reelection

A member of the board for %

jor improvements were inau-
gurated during his tenure of Of
flee including the unprecedented
era of prosperity resulting from
the locating of the ingalls, Ship

major industries here.
MI. Burnham makes the follow
ing statement to the voters of
District Two:
Il wish to announce through
this newspaper that, after care
full consideration, | definitely will
not be a candidate for member
ship on the Board of Supervisors
in the Democratic primaries this
year.
II have had the honor of serv-
ing you in this capacity for %
years and, during my terms of Of
flee, | have witnessed the great
progress made in our county. |
will always look back with pride
in my part in helping to inaugu-
rate and bring into completion
these various improvements and
enterprises, all of which are ben
eficial to our county. In declining
to offer again for this, | feel a
twinge of sadness when l reflect
on the happy years spent with my
co-workers in the interest of our
beloved county.
81 wish to thank the voters of
District Two and the entire citi-
zenship of the county for the
many honors that have been be-
slowed upon me and to express
my heartfelt appreciation to the
members of the board both pres
ent and past for having elected
me their president for six terms.
This is indeed an honor for which
l am grateful.
While | am giving up my work
on the board, / nm not by any
means losing interest in the pro-
gress of our county.
Nov as 10 my successor, I hope
the voters will weigh all the mer-
its of the candidates that may Of
fer for this office and without
prejudice, select the man best
qualified for this important office.
l call on you to apply the Jeffer-
sonian test: as he honest? Is he
capable? Is he faithful"
"If all of the county's voters
will use this standard in select
ing all officials that offer this
year, we will have leaders that
will carry us on to even bigger
and better things"
Respectfully submitted,
K. w. BURNHAM
