main attraction was the dancing

helped light candles in yellow
pumpkins. The first grade held a
contest to see who could put the
tail on the cat. The prize was
won by little Miss Lille Pearl

expansion of the Al plant and
product distribution.
And expand it has. In 1941, the
year preceding Lanser's purchase
of the company, only $4,000 barrels
had been marketed by the firm.
Last year, 10000 barrels of Al
beer were distributed.
With the recent completion of
the company's new, modern, half
million dollar brewhouse, the fin
iShing touches were put on the last
unit in the brewery's 100000 pro-
gram of overall plant moderniza-
ton.
The Arizona Brewing company's
place in its regions economy today
is shown by the fact that last years
gross sales of Al beer amounted to
more than $4,30O,OOO and year
round employment was provided
for more than 130 persons, with an
annual ayroll of more than
$5O0,OO0.
Chief beneficiary of the COM
pany's established and growing
sales volume is, of course, the fed
eral government.
If the Arizona Brewing company
should utilize only half of it's now
more than 100000 barrel capacity
during next years operation, as it
might well do, Lanser pointed out,
combined federal and state taxes on
production alone would amount to
more than the entire cost of the
firms S2.0OO,OOO expansion.

the district commissioners through
the flood control plan, hope to re-
duce materially the water and
soil loss from this area. 1t is ex-
pected that the bottom soils, when
properly drained, will furnish the
necessary row crop land.
Due to the fact that about one
of every eight acres is not being
used; that much of the land now
in cultivation is not suited to
row crops, and that woodlands are
not being managed to best advan-
tage, it is hoped that the farmers
will take an active part in estab-
fishing and maintaining the flood
control program, Mr.. Coca said.
Through application of flood
control measures, the district an
ticipates increased production
from the row crop land and a bet
ter livestock program made pos
sible by controlled grazing Of the
woodlands, improved pastures,
better crop rotations, perennial
legumes, and adequate stock wa
ter. The establishment of flood
control methods within the desig-
mated areas should lead to a mark
ed reduction in loss Of both soil

of their one and-one- half story
home in a Washington suburb.
That was the beginning of the
strange story of Roland and his
poltergeist.
A poltergeist is NOISY ghost

that both the minister and family

Roland. At first, the boy took it
calmly. But when furniture began
mysteriously to slither around the

rooms, the family sought out the
clergyman, he said.
After hearing scratchings, which
could have been caused by the boy.
the pastor said, he asked permis-
sion to have Roland stay at his
home overnight. 1t was here. the
minister said, that two inexplica-
BILE phenomena occurred.
The clergyman seated Roland
on a large, firmly based armchair,
his knees drawn up under his chin
and his arms wrapped around his
legs. The chair began to tip over
with slow, regular motion until
it was completely off balance. then
crashed to the floor, the clergy
man continued.
Then the minister spread a

Roland to lie on it, and covered
him evenly with another blanket.
