each member of the board of edu-
cation. Board President, DR.. Trev-
or Brown said that we are looking
forward to the time when the sta
dunn would be used for great out
door musical events and pagentry.
Rev. ]. H. Payton led the great
audience in a very expressive pray
er of appreciation that Carver was
reaching this point in it's develop
ment.
DR.. David M. Solomon, Teams
physician, who spearheaded raising
the football equipment fund which
enabled the football team to be
well equipped, said, "He saw the

the evening came when Exalted

By John C. Eichenauer iii

At one of the Sunday series of
Baha'i public meetings, Mr.. Walter
A. Brown, of 1921 E. Adams ST., in
an address entitled Americas
Blessings" reviewed a talk given
by 'Abdul-Baha, the leading Ex-
FOUNDER of the Baha'i Teachings,
who visited America in 1912. AT
firming that the spirit of Baha'i
fellowship, without distinction of
race, creed or color is sorely need
ed in the world today, he gave one
of the keys toward lifting ourselves
from today's confusion, as given by
'Abdu'l-Baha: "The greatest at
tainment in the world of humanity
is nearness to God. Every lasting
glory, honor, grace and beauty
which comes to man comes through
nearneSS to God"

ready paying off as an economic
factor in the community by giving
jobs to ambitious young men and
women who could not find like en-
ployment because of racial discrim-
ination.

tor, pointed out that it was the
responsibility of the Board and

the first step by placing the re-
quired securities with the State

respect according to Arizona Insur-
ance laws.

ment of Mr.. Dave Carney, promin-
ent young Phoenix business man

Park, Tuesday, October 26, 194S

Louis Armstrong, who will ap-
pear at Riverside Park, Tuesday,
October 26 is a musician of such
extraordinary ability that he is
above all possible praise. He states
his theme simply, modifying it
here and there with touches that
give the most uninteresting phrases
beauty which transfigures them.
He surpasses all other singers as
he surpasses all other trumpeters.
His vocal style is substantially the
same as his trumpet style.
EARL HINES, drummer, music

During his school days he played
in church and at concerts, fire.

to join Louis and has been with
him ever since.

Burnett had been ailing for some
time, but not seriously, until about
two weeks ago when she had to be
confined to the hospital. Relatives
believe the shock from the death
of her sister which occurred after
Mrs. Barnett went to the hospital
was a contributing factor to her
death.

Mrs. F. A. Bons
Candidate For
Reelection to Board

Mrs. F. A. Bons announces her
candidacy for reelection to the
Board of Education of Phoenix
Union High Schools and Junior
College District. She has been a
resident in the District for the past
twenty-eight years and for the past
fifteen years has served as Clerk
and member of the high school
board. She is the only woman on
the Board.
During her thirty-five years res
idence in the state Mrs. BonS has
been a leader in many civic activi-
ties. She served two years as Presi-
dent of the Maricopa Council of
Parent-Teacher Associations and
later was for two years President
of the State Congress of that or
ganiZation. She served as a mem
Der of the Fact-Finding Committee
in Education appointed by the Gov
ernor to study the state education
al system and make recommends
tions for Improvement Many of
these recommendation have be-
come laws. For eight years she
served on the Phoenix Parks, Play
grounds and Recreational Board
and is now a member of the Phoe-
nix School Lunch Committee. Re
Gently she served on the Executive
Committee of the Charter Revision
Committee for the City of Phoenix.
Mrs. Bons says, Because of the
severe criticism of the Board by
certain members of the 18th Legis-
lature and because of the false
stories spread by printed sheets
and by word of mouth through the
District, feel it is only just to the
patrons of the schools that I make
a few brief statements.
The cirricula of our high schools
and Phoenix College have one mo-
tivation and one purpose-the
preparation for successful living
in a democratic society. On the
other hand free inquiry and inde-
pendent thinking are encouraged.
Several times during my incum-
bency complaints have come to me
that some teacher has expressed
approval of some phase of FasciSm
or Communism. I have in each in
stance passed these complaints on
to our Administrator for inveStiga-
ton. I have had complete conf
dence that he would handle these
matters wisely and justly:
It is the custom of the Board to
rent the several school auditoriums
to outside groups. This often occa-
sions inconvenience to the schools,
but is, the Board feels, an obliga-
ton so long as Phoenix has no ade-
quate civic auditorium. It is the
present policy of the Board to limit
rentals to political groups to those
which have been duly qualified by
the Secretary of State for a place
on the state election ballot. Persons
CONVICTED of membership in To-
talitarian, Fascistic, Communistic,
or Subversive organizations as list
ed by the United States Attorney
General are barred.
Contrary to certain stories afloat,
I am not, have never been men,
Der of, or in any manner whatso-
ever supported any organization
listed by the United States Attor-
ney General in the categories given
above. My work with Russian Re-
lief, Inc, during the war has been
featured. That organization was in
corporated under Federal Author
ity and was endorsed by proclama-
ton by the then Governor of our
state and by the Mayor of Phoenix.
Many warm-hearted generous gen.
erous people throughout the state
aided in sending food, clothing and
medical supplies to the devastated
regions of Europe.

RHODE RETURNS FROM SEATTLE
 FISH HEARINGS

Clarence Rhode, Alaska Director
 of the Fish and Wildlife Service, re- turned yesterday afternoon from Se- attle following attendance at the | final hearings on proposed fisheries regulations for the 1949 season. The majority attending the hear ings in Seattle were representatives
 of the Salmon packing industry and Rhode reported that packers were concerned about the short season proposed for Southeast Alaska next summer. The canneries recommend Jed that the entire month of August ibe open for fishing. The cannery- men stated that their request was based on economic considerations and that they couldn't operate with less than a months season. They
 made no specific recommendat' on- for the conservation of pink salmon. Tie Fish and Wildlife representa- tives stated that they will grant just as long season as there are
 fish, but that their primary consid- eration would have to be the pro- lection of the salmon.
 Discussion was held cn the elimi- nation of the restriction on the use of power boats in the Bristol Bay
 area. The F&WS is proposing to drop this regulation and let the in dustry and fishermen work cut the problem, between themselves. At tEc
 present time, only sail boats are all ! lowed in this fishing area. The service will continue to enforce the
 regulation that no boat can exceed the length of 32 feet
 Tie taking of fish in streams un-
 der the guise of pergonafuo- was at
 tackled at the meeting It was sug-
 eested the regulations be changed
 to state the number of fish that can
 Ee taken and the manner oi catch ing the fish.
