BAD ROADS

MANY OF THE roads of the Island are in terrible con-
dihon, SO much SO that tourists who have been stranded on
them have become discouraged, and whatever little pleasure
there was in the tours, vanished. The roads around the north
side are disgraceful, to say the least, and unless something
is done, and quickly, permanent damage will result. AS every
one knows, the road leading to La Vallee, both over Canaan
and around Salt River, are winding and steep, and rains will
naturally do more damage to these than to others. Allowed
to continue in this terrible state, these roads develop ruts
and bitches, sharp stones stick out, the top soil having
been washed away.
WE REALIZE that the Public Works Department has
its hands filled; that it is doing everything it can with the
limited funds alocated to it, and that it attempts to spread
its work over all quarters. However, realizing the seriousness
Of the situation, it might be possible to focus attention on
this matter, and through the Council, make satisfactory ar
rangements. When the great public works program was an
nounced years ago, many Of us thought that roads would be
among the first projects attacked, and that the great bulk of
these most frequently used would be surfaced, both to save
them, and to make travel easier and more encouraging. This
has not been done, and the roads are getting worse with every
rainfall
WHILE EXTENSIVE repairs may not be possible at the
of the great attractions will be the scenic beauty Of this place,
and this can be enjoyed only by travelling to several quarters
of the Island. But with roads in terrible condition little travel
can be expected.
WHILE EXTENSIVE repairs may not be possible at the
moment, the Public Works Department might find it possible
to carry on at least such work as will save the roads from get
ting to the place where only a major, about Job can correct
the situation, 1t is a matter well worth careful thought and
immediate attention.

Adjustment To
Reality
By The Philosopher

1t is well to be adjusted, but we
should see to it that we adjust our
selves to reality.
In order to get along everyone
knows that he should adapt HIM
self to circumstances and to other
people. The way of the crooked
stick is hard.
Most of the practical happiness
in the world is obtained by adjust
ing ourselves. Those who are most
successful are they that adapt
themselves most perfectly to what
conditions they find.
The most popular statesman is
not always the one with the best
ideals, but is usually the one that
can accommodate himself to exist
ing political factors and circum-
stances.
This is the sort of a thing that
is the basis of what we call morale.
The most efficient man in the COM
munity, at least the most influen-
tial and popular, is the man who
best fits himself to the community.
The law of the survival of the
fittest means that that living or

The Children Were Told To Attend
Another School 80 Miles Away
Especial to the SUM

A cross was burned and shots
were fired in an attempt to force
the Earle Randolphs of Duncan,
Arizona, to keep their children
from attending the public elemen-
tary school there. These Dixie
crat tactics occurred on last Sep
tember third and fourth.
The Randolphs, who have seven.
children, five being of school age
late to enter school, however, Mrs.
Randolph and white friend went
to the school on September second
to see Mr.. Douglas Brubaker,
school principal, concerning the
admission of the children to the
elementary school this year. Mrs.
Randolph and her friend were told
that the children could be taken to
the Clifton school, 80 miles away.
The Randolphs went to Clifton,
found that students were not Sc
gregated there because of race, but
that the school would not accept
the children because they lived in
the Duncan district.
A cross was burned on a hill near
the Randolphs home and a shot
was fired following their visit to
night revolver was fired into the
home of the Randlphs. An appeal
was made to the Tucson branch of
the N.A.A.C.P. who retained Attor-
ney Steward Udall to inquire into
the situation. Attorney Udall, con-
tacted the Arizona Council for
Civic Unity to aid them in the fight
to get these children in school.
School officials of Duncan were
contacted, protestant, Catholic and
Mormon church leaders have also
been active in an attempt to clear
up the situation.
The state superintendent of in
Mr.. Brubaker, the Duncan school
principal who stated that the Ran
dolphs were leaving Duncan. A
special investigator was sent to
Duncan and found out that the
Randolps have not moved nor will
they move unless physically forced.
The investigator also found out
that the farmer for whom the Ran
dolphs work have no intention of
discharging them.
Plans are being made to file
court suit to force the school trus-
tees to admit the children to the
Duncan school. The Tucson N.A.A.
C.P. and the Arizona Council for
Civic Unity are pressing the
charges.

Rookie Of 1040'
To Don Newcombe
BY RODMARLO

NEW YORK Don Newcombe
has been elected Rookie of the
Year."
The husky right handler whose
blazing fast ball has kept the
Brooklyn Dodgers in the thick of
the pennant chase since he joined
the club in June was the over
whelming choice of the nations
sportswriters.
The official tabulation of the
baseball writer's votes was an
nounced Oct. 5.
Newcombe came to Brooklyn
from their Montreal farm club
when the Dodgers pitching staff
began to fall apart.
Ralph Branca after an impress
sive start with an 81 record fell
apart and could hardly get the
side out.
Rex Barney on whom Manager
Burt Shotton had depended for a
20 victory season proved undepend-
able winning several games with
his blazing fast ball, but was al
most never able to put two good
games together.
Paul Minner proved dud.
Joe Hatten had good days and
bad days, mostly bad.
Of all the staff only Preacher
Roe showed consistent to perform
ance, but the fragile Southerner
needed several days between games
to rest UP.
Owner Branch Hickey and Shot
ton thought that Newcombe need
ed another year in the minors but
out of desperation were forced to
call him up.
Since then Newcombe has car
ried an unbelievable load, pitching
often with only two days rest and
has four shutouts to his credit with
16-8 record.
Brooklyn fans showed their ap-
probation with a Newcombe night
and gave him a new auto loaded
with expensive gifts.

The background sketch of Joe
Lutcher who is dubbed as zone of
the greatest little bandleaders" in
the country, began at an early age
when he decided to abandon the
piano, in favor of some lighter
weight instrument which he could
"tote" around wherever he went.
Little did he dream that he would
become one of the greatest sax vir-
tuosos and have a band of his own.
Joe arranges and writes lyrics,
his band plays swing, bebop, jazz
and sweet music with equal ability.
It was his famous "Mardi Gas"
which made Joe an overnight SEN
sation and skyrocketed him into
national prominence.
Joe Lutcher is twenty-eight years
old, has a twin brother, is one of
seven children. Members of his
family are all musically gifted. One
of his sisters is the "real gone gal, "
Nellie Lutcher. He is married to
