The survey, which was submit
ted last week to the Cook Coun-
ty Board, was prepared by the
United States Public Health Serv
ice, and states:
This community probably rep
resents the largest group of sub
standard housing in Cook County

OF 973 residences in Robbins
the survey said, $40 have city
water, A have dug or drilled
wells, and 419 have no water
supply on the premises.
THIS condition can be ex.
planned partially by the fact that
there was an attempt to finance
a municipal water system nearly
twenty years ago which brought
water to only part of the town. y

report declared.
Robbins has no municipal
sewage disposal plant; the efflu-
ent from cesspools and septic
tanks is discharged to roadside
bitches. Limestone, which is less
than 20 feet from the surface
makes the area unsuitable for
subsurface disposal. Consequent
ly, the new wells in the area are
in constant danger of pollution
from septic effluent and the
multiplicity of privies," the sur.
vey reported.

HOTEL AND RESTAURANT
SUPPLY co.

Another tangible sign of the ur-
ban-like character of Tucson is
the Hotel and Restaurant Supply
Co., which Sam Ruben has es-
tablished. 1t is the only local firm
of it's kind which means that To-
cal establishments and institu-
tions now can view and inspect
supply items and secure imme-
diate delivery.
The display room is at 2016 S.
4th Avenue. Here can be seen not
only restaurant and bar equip
ment and supplies but also lounge
and office chrome furniture, of
pre-war quality. And naturally
there is a wide variety of glass
ware, china ware, silver, pots
and pans, together with the null
titude of items used by large es-
Establishments.
Mr.. Rubens has been cognizant
of the needs of guest ranches, pri-
vate schools and rest homes in
setting up his stocks and services.
They make equipment to special
order, such as steam tables and
the like. They offer the technical
skill as well as the equipment for
meeting the individual specifica-
tions and needs of their custom
ers.
Sam Sloan Expands
Sam Sloan, well-known local
operator of Sloan's Service at
1901 N. Stone has expanded, add
ing a new service station and ac-
cessory store. The new, up-to-date
minute station and accessory store
opened formally last Saturday. 1t
is located at 1926 S. 9Th, corner
of Aviation Way, on the Nogales
Highway. 1t is just few minutes
south of downtown.
It is attractive, built expressly
for Mr.. Sloan and he rightfully
boasts it has the best and latest
in equipment. For example, the
fabrication hoist is massive and
allows easy access to all vulner-
able parts of the car for factory
specified fabrication. He carries
three well known tire and battery
makes - Firestone, Gates-Vulco
and Atlas. They feature Chevron
Supreme gas and RPM motor oils.
The station gives the finest in
automotive service and repairs.
The accessory store has every
thing. Mr.. Sloan enthusiastically

CHUNKY'S DATE WITH The STORK

in the neighborhood didn't hear
about it. And Jenny! Shed heckle
the pants off him! Maybe he could
fb little and say that he and Nom
had been sick in the hospital with
the measles or something. He finally
fell asleep on that thought.
AND then events swiftly came to a
climax.
A letter from Bill arrived: Cliff
Brewer had worked for while in a
shipyard in Seattle, then had taken
a job with a construction crew on
the Alcan highway. had been dis
charged and was known to have
taken another job on a defense
project in Fairbanks, Alaska. Bill
was going to scout the cargo lines
for a. fight to Alaska. Two weeks
later telegram arrived:
mo waiver necessary stop Brewer
was killed in accident two years ago
stop flying home soon as weather
clears. Love.
Bill"
Relief, like warm gentle shower,
relaxed all of the apprehension out
of Leath's body. News of Cliff
Brewers death caused her not a sin
gle qualm of regret, for she'd torn
him out of her heart many years
before. Chunky had never even seen
his real - and so unworthy - father,
and she intended that he should
never hear about him, at least not
until he was old enough to under
stand.
But Leath had been afraid, almost
terrified - that Cliff Brewer might
suddenly turn up and cause trouble
over Bills legal adoption of the boy.
Now that the way was clear for
Chunky to have the finest father a
boy could hope to have, she slept
we'll that night.
And then two days later another
wire came. The weather in Alaska,
Bill informed her, was getting stead
lily worse, and no ships or planes
were sailing.
Leath wired back:
please hurry, darling. Doctors
calculations revised. Stork arriving
soon. Love.
Leath"
lW Alaskan weather cleared with
scarcely minutes to spare. Bill ar
rived home about IL 80 one night,
awakened Chunky for sleepy hug
and kiss of welcome, and at S o'clock
that morning he rushed Leath to the
hospital.
Mrs. Webster tiptoed around the
house that morning, so Chunky
would sleep as long as possible. He
stumbled sleepily into the kitchen

She wrinkled her nose at Chunky,
but he didn't respond. He hated to
admit it, even to himself, but he was
getting scared, scared as the very
dickens. He held grimly to Bills
hand.
Then the elevator door opened
and doctor in surgical gown stepped
out.
Hello, papa" he said to Bill.
you're too late. It's all over and
everything's dandy. A fine baby
girl"
For a hushed second. time seemed
to stand still. Then suddenly a
piercing, childish vail split the walls
of the elevator shaft open and lifted
the ceiling skyward. Chunky's face
twisted with Mortified contortions, as
though the miseries of the whole
world we're reflected there. Tears
were gushing from his eyes.
II scon't - won't -" he screamed.
II Von't be a sissy old girl - / sconi

Well, it took the combined efforts
of Bill. the doctor and five nurses to
subdue Chunky's indignant walls.
and finally, patiently. they got to
the bottom of his complaint. Bill did
most of the explaining. with SYM
pathetic word or two here and there
from the doctor, and Chunky lis
tened between convulsive little sobs.
"Well - gee -" he said, Mrs.
Biddle said couldn't be your real
son unless was born to you. and
Mrs. Webster said so too, and -
we'll, gee. Bill - thought -"
BILL exerted a superhuman effort
and kept straight face Some of the
nurses weren't able to do so, and one
laughed a little as she wiped tear
from the corner of her eye.
"You understand now, don't you,
SOM" Bill said. "It was the Judge
who made you my very own son.
just as surely and completely as if
you'd been born to me, and nobody
in the whole world can ever take
you away from me. And the little girl
upstairs that was just born to US, is
going to be your very own baby
sister"
Chunky's damp face looked all
eyes for a moment. "You mean
there's gonna be another kid at our
house?"
Bill nodded. almost breathless for
sign of acceptance.
The doctor put in a word, ''I've
just seen her. Chunky. and she looks
just like you"
She does?" Chunky piped un-
behevingiy. A smile broke out all
over his face. Then l bet she's a
cute little stmker." The Esd

Are you here, Mrs. Webster" he
asked.
"Uh-huh," she said archly, an
excited twinkle in her eyes.
Where's Bill and Mom?"
oh" she said, they've gone
some place"
Chunky came awake with a jolt:
ITO the hospital?"
Nov - now - Chunky" Mrs.

He Gained down, braced one ell
bow against the kitchen sink, and
thoughtfully leaned his head against
his palm.

Bill rushed into the house like an
excited schooIboy. His eyes sparkled,
his cheeks were flushed, and his step
was light as feather.
Hi, som" he said. In answer to
Mrs. Webster's questioning glance.
he shook his head. about noon"

In JUDGE McARDLE's private cham
bers, all of the legal formalities of

Bill clutched the document tightly
for moment, then mist came in
his eyes as he knelt down and took
the boy in his arms.
YOU'RE Richard Davis, now" he
said. You're my very own son, for
ever and ever"
Chunky didn't understand what
had happened, but he knew some
thing momentous had occurred, and
it was making him tingle down to his
toes.
He locked his arms tight around
Bills neck. Then he asked: "Is this
all there is to it?"
Before Bill could answer, a clerk
stuck his head through the door.
Better get to the hospital, Mr..
Davis. They just called"
''Oh, my goshr' Bill stammered,

got out of the coupe and started up

steps, Chunky Jagged, so Bill picked
him up and carried him, then set him
down in the corridor of shiny marble
and hushed sounds and antiseptic
smells.
When Bill pressed the button of
the elevator, a smiling nurse came UP
and said:
Sorry, Mr.. Davis, but you can't
take the boy to the maternity floor.
