SPITE his bewilderment and


SPITE his bewilderment and
sense of foreboding, JEFF Irs-
i caught himself whistling
tly as he urged Pacheco's palo-
no mare across the desert the
.xt morning.
He hadn't realized until this
moment how much he had missed
the vast uninterrupted distances
of Arizona's wasteland, the gaunt
saguaro cacti with its tortured yet
peculiarly human shapes, the
feathery blue of smoke trees and
sotol hugging the arroyos that
crosscrossed the road. Seeing it
all again was like quenching your
thirst after long parching pc
Rod of drought.
It was good too to be wearing
your own loose cowboy clothes
instead of a civilian suit that four
years of soldering had made too
small for you, good to be riding
your own silver-trimmed saddle.
Pacheco had kept them both in
condition.
AS he neared his old home
Jeff's keen inquisitive eyes, as
black and cleaning a. his hair,
stared ahead, watchful for the
changes that time and strangers
might have made.
The cottonwood tree by the
spring loomed up a good twelve
feet taller than he'd last seen it,
its thin silvery leaves futtering
together in the faint morning
breeze. That seemed to be all.
The small squat adobe rancho
with its long low covered porch

most seeming a part of it; a thin
blue wisp of smoke drifted from
the chimney.
From the shade of the porch a
sleek black and brown hound dog
came to greet jeff. Even care and
feeding couldn't hide the fact. that
he was a badly-shaped pariah dog
of uncertain pedigree. He gave a
few sharp barks to announce the
strangers arrival then capered
back to the shadows and sat
down, his tongue lolling in a
foolish grin.
JEFF. dismounted and took the
three steps to the porch in one
long stride. He was about to
knock on his own door when it
opened suddenly and a gill came
out. 1t seemed to JEFF that she
took unusual care to close the
door tightly after her. She smiled
up at him. =.
Mephisto isn't much of pro-
tector but at least he lets us know
when we have visitors"
"Mephisto?"
She pointed to the hound. eve
called him that because. he was so
black and raised the devil when
we got him, His hearts pure gold
though--he's almost too friendly"
AS she talked jeff studied her
interestedly. She had a trim little
figure. clad now in a blue and

L|DpUT ON
 SCHOOLS BY
 BOARD ACT
Public Groups Must Gei Authorization Before
 AIIofed Any Dates

At it's last meeting the Juneau Public School Board took steps to clarify the rules regarding the use of the school building by public groups. It authorized the principals of the two schools to require writ ten agreements signed by an off cer of the organization desiring to use school facilities.
 The major requirements of this agreement are the recognition that the right to assign or terminate the use privilege rests entirely with the school; that no group of less than 10 persons may use the fac ilities; and that the enforcement of the no drinking or smoking regulation and the liability for damage is the responsibility of the group using the building.
 The requiring of such an agree ment is felt necessary due to the increased use being made of the buildings. Since the first purpose of school property is its use as a school, and no infringement on this purpose will be allowed
 The permission granted to all groups now using the buildings has Leen terminated until such times as they execute an agreement with the school.
 Groups desiring to avail them selves of school facilities, hence torth. should have one of their of ficers see the Superintendent of the school for approval of their application.
 The principals of the schools will make the assignment of time and space desired if it is avail able. No telephone requests will be accepted.
