Drivers TO Get Patrol Aid On Traffic Code

The entire Arizona Highway
Patrol will be alerted to help Ari-

Greg o. Hathaway, patrol super
intendent, said Saturday.
The date will mark the first day
of adoption of the states new high
way safety code and it is hoped the
first "a hours under the code will
pass without accident.
Patrolmen will be ready to help
law-abiding drivers "drive it right"
and by the same token they'll be on
the alert to make some erring driv-
ers sorry they didn't "drive it

"We believe most drivers will CO.

"But there will be those who
are not fully acquainted with the
new rules, and these are the ones
we'll be ready to help.

Insurance High
On Poor Buildings

Insurance on barns IN poor cOn-
dition costs so percent more than
insurance on barns in excellent
condition, says A. B. Ballantyne,
rural sociology specialist for the
Agricultural Extension Service at
the University of Arizona.
BY putting those fire-traps in top
condition, insurance rates can be
reduced. Some of the cost of repair
ing barns can be paid from the
saving in insurance premiums.
This also can be applied to your
home. Fire loss rates on dwell
ings considered in poor condidition
were IS percent higher than those
in excellent condition. Fire insur-
ance companies ecognize the
greater risk of a poor conditioned
building by imposing higher insur-
ance premiums.

drivers who obviously think laws
were made for everyone else to
obey but them"
Hathaway suggested that Ari-
zona newspapers, after "drive it
right" day, publish the names of
drivers who are cited for violations
contributing to accidents.
The superintendent said traffic
law violation is a contributing fac
tor to virtually every accident.
The new traffic code, he pointed
out, makes it legal requirement
that every driver operate his
vehicle in such a manner as to
avoid colliding with any other
vehicle or any object on the high
way.
He urged that motorists famil-
iarize themselves with the codes
requirements and provisions and
cooperate by obeying the law in
all respects, thus helping to insure
attainment of the goal of fewer
traffic fatalities.

Editor Explores
Political Fields In
Northern Arizona

D. F. Benson, editor of the Ari-
zona Sun, in his official capacity
as Grand District Deputy of the
I. B. P. o. of Elks of the World,
holding semi-annual elections in
Yuma, Winslow and Flagstaff,
took time out from his lodge du-
ties to explore the political situa-
ton among Negroes.
He found working conditions
among Negroes improving, more
work, higher pay; and that they
are buying homes and improving
their property in greater numbers
than ever before.
He also observed that citizens
were more conscious of their po-
litical duty as well. They are ask
ing who is who and why in the
race for State political office. Not
knowing much about these candi-
dates they wanted to know how
each stands on the Negro problem.
The Editor promised he would
collect all available data on candi-
dates seeking office and relay it
to them through the columns OF
the SUN, which they are looking
forward to during this campaign.
In his short visit many new ac-
quaintances were made with fine
and interesting citizens of he
towns visited. To mention some OF
the cNic-minded people met, it
would be impossible to. overlook
Mrs. Lucille Coleman of Yuma, who
is the elected treasurer of the
county Parent Teacher Associa-
ton and sponsor of the N. A. A.
C. P. young peoples program there
with the assistance of Mr.. j. Rain
water.
In Prescott you will. find such
substantial citizens who own their
own homes, fine automobiles, as
the Lloyd Porters, the Burkhart
Brothers and the Tulles- citizens
who are respected by all.
In Flagstaff, city situated
among the tall pines has its quota
of solid citizens, too. Among the
many, there is the leading pastor,
Rev. S. Thornton of the First Bap-
tist Church, who has done much
for his people. His first step. after
taking this charge was to vouch
for better employment for Negroes.
He made sale for church prop
erty belonging to his church in the
business district of Flagstaff for
$4,000, and bought the present
church, paid for it with valuable
rent property in connection. He or
ganized the first N. A. A. c. P.
branch there and is still president.
There are other worth mention
ing citizens that space won't al
low. Not only in Flagstaff, Yuma
and Prescott, but Winslow, Nc
Nary and Globe, as well.
All of these people are becom-
ing political conscious-want their
vote to go where it will do the
most good for their race and COM
munity.

Don't Build Cesspools

DON'T ASK US HOW to build
cesspool, as we dislike to tell you
how to put in something which is
dangerous to the water supply and
which is sure to prove troublesome
after few years.
A cesspool is simply cistern like
hole walled up with loose brick or
cement block, with the idea that the
liquid part of the sewage will soak
away into the soil. 1t does for a
few seasons if the soil is coarse sand
or open gravel or if it is of rock
with open seams; but usually only
for few months where the soil is
rather close. This is because the
soap, grease, and other solids soak
into the soil openings and soon clog
them.
The only remedy is to fill the old
hole and dig new one. The filthy
and dangerous seepage from a cess
pool may be carried rs to 100 feet
in sandy soil and even for long
distances where it escapes into rock
crevices.
Building cesspool usually costs
more in the long run than a septic
tank. Counting present labor costs
and considering the larger size need
ed, the first cost is only slightly be-
low that of septic tank, and. it
must be done over again, whereas a
good septic tank should last life
time with little or no upkeep.
If you can put in only part OF
a sewage system, use a septic tank
so planned that you can connect the
additional units as they are put in.
This probably will call for a tee and
plug where you now would need
only an elbow.

1t Is Worth Preserving

The "Old Stone House" on M street in
Georgetown is supposed to be the oldest pre-
Revolutionary structure now standing in the
District 1t has always been in private ownership
and its demolition for conversion of the property
to other uses was certain until Congress ap-
proved, last week, a bill to purchase 1t for the
National Park System and preserve 1t as a
memento of the past.
Bills providing for such things do not just
happen. While this legislation, now awaiting
the Presidents signature, is very small thing
compared with the great events of the day,
future generations may have cause to be CRATE
full to a determined group of women who
decided that it would be a shame if this old
house were destroyed, and having made their
decision, gathered the support in and out of
Congress that finally brought action
Eventually, restored to something approx
mating it's appearance and interior arrangements
when it was built appropriately furnished and
equipped as it was then with the conveniences
of the period it will become museum-and
incidentally a modest memorial to unknown
citizens who built 1t, lived in it and dreamed of
future which has already become hazy past.
