For World Faith

tions advisor, will speak on "a Re-
igion for Today" 8 p. M, Sunday,

the beautiful Bahai Temple in
Chicago, which has been erected at
a cost of more than $1,500,0O0.
There are over million Baha'is in
the world in over 80 countries.
Mrs. Kenny declares no econOm-
ic and political plan of the states

less it is divine in origin sand effects

F|NLEYWL SON H|R|LLS CROWD
MANY OTHER ELK DIGN|TARIES SPOKE
AT MORTGAGE BURNING CEREMONY

J.. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted
Ruler of Elks thrills large crowd at
the mortgage burning of the Elks
New Home last Sunday, over which
he presided.
The celebration was staged out
of-doors in front of the building
where hundreds of people gathered
to witness the ceremony.
Finley Wilson, the main speaker,
was preceded by other Grand
Lodge Officers and friends of the
organization.
The singing of America marked
the opening of the celebration, fol-
lowed by Wade Hammond as Toast
Master who was very thorough in
his introduction of each speaker
who appeared on the program.
Other speakers were: Rev. F. D. H.
Mcdonald, Invocation; Greetings
from Mayor Ray Busey, Reverend
Emmett Mclaughlin, o. F. M,
Pres. R. Bentley Strather, Los An
geles, Pacific States Association;
Prof. w. A. Payne, Ell Central, Elks
Educational Department; DIT. Rul-
er Susie Oby and Exalted Ruler
Chas. N. Patterson.
The Grand Exalted Ruler was
introduced by the Grand Esquire
J. Chavis of Seattle, Washington.
Mr.. Wilson, in his most eloquent
and stirring address, spoke of the
wonderful progress the organiza-
ton has made under his "a years
leadership. The Elks, he said, won
the trophy from the U. S. Treasury
Department for purchasing more
war bonds during the war than any
other organization, to the amount
of seven million dollars.
The Grand told Mayor Busey, if
what he had heard of his reputa-
ton of fairness to all races alike
the mayor is a fit subject for Gov
ernor of Arizona-and thence to
Washington as President of the
United States. Men of his caliber,
he said is what the world must
have as leaders before there is ev-
erlasting peace. Mr.. Wilson, had a
word of praise for Pres. Truman,
told his listeners, "altho I am
died-in- -the-wool Republican but if
the President sticks by the recon-
mendation of his Civil Rights Com
mittee 1 will stump the country
from Coast to Coast in behalf OF
his reelection in November"
The Grand Exalted Ruler be-
slowed upon Mayor Busey the de-
gree of Honorary Member in the
VIM. H. Patterson Lodge during
the program.
The highlight of the evening was
the burning of the mortgage by the
Grand Exalted Ruler as he very
eloquently stated that with the
power invested in me as the Grand
Exalted Ruler of the Improved,
Benevolent, and Protective Order
of Elks of the World, I now reduce
this $4,000 mortgage to ashes"

Employment On
Fairly Euen Keel

Job opportunities in Arizona
stayed on a fairly even keel
through the first month of the
new year, as indicated by the
3,742 placements of applicants for
work which were made by the
Arizona State Employment Service
in January, as compared with g.
731 such placements made in the
previous month of December.
These compari son figures
though, do not include the 1,64O
placements of seasonal Iagricultur-
al workers that were made in
January by the new ES Farm
Labor Division.
Attention was called to this
activity by James A. Rork, who
was recently appointed State Di-
rector of the Employment Service
by the Employment Security Com
mission of Arizona.
Handling of farm labor jobs was
taken over by the Employment
Service as of the beginning of this
year and for that reason no COM
parison with former periods can
be made at this time. The Arizona
State Employment Service is work.
ing closely with local farm groups
in the setting up and operation
of an effective farm labor pro-
gram.
At the end of every month, the
manager of each local ES office
operating in the state makes a
report on the activities of that Of
flee. It is from the assembling of
the figures contained in these re-
ports that the employment trend
for the month is determined.
In the Phoenix local office, ac-
cording to the January report by
H. c. JohanSon, the manager, there
were 1903 applicants for work
placed in jobs other than seasonal
and of the number so placed, 452
were veterans.
In the previous month of De-
cember, this office made 1,349
usch placements of applicants for
work.

spectively, urged support of the
campaign. Contributions will be
converted into urgently needed

clothing.
The drive of the American
Overseas AidUnited Nations Ap-
peal for Children is popularity
called the Crusade for Children" I"
It's slogan is "Save Child-Save
