RAY GOVERNMENT Arcadia has a good plan of government. One comes to this idea after looking over our Pasadena neighbor, Dr, Munro's books on "Municipal Government and Administration." Arcadia would gain nothing by going in for fancy ideas in government, such as a city manager or a commission of retired business men. Dr. Munro says, page 407: 1. Government is not, in a strict sense, a business.

2. Government is a combination of--- Government Business Philanthropy. And what as to taxes? He says, in a progressive community taxes will go up, because citizens demand More Service Better Service. Avcadia seems to have a kind of government not mentioned in Professor Munro's big books on government; a better kind of government than appears in his many Arcadia's government ia-- 1. Friendly 2.

Sympathetic 3. Responsive. That is the case, from the congressman to the engineer and chief of Poultry Service Club Meets Here Southern California Organization Hears Interesting Speakers Thursday The Legion clubhouse provided the setting for the meeting of the Poultry Service club of Southern California, which was held last Thursday night.

Grabel of the poultry pathological laboratory of Los Angeles. Dinner was served by the members of the Legion Auxiliary. William Atkinson Claimed by Death Former Arcadian and Author Passes at His Home in Pasadena William Walker Atkinson, long time resident of Arcadia, who has more recently made his home in Pasadena, passed away early Wednesday morning at Pasadena after a lingering illness, at the age of 69 years. Although the well known Arcadia man had been ill for several months, it had been believed by his family that he was improving, but early this week his condition became alarming and he failed to rally. Funeral services are being held this morning from the chapel of Ivcs und Warren of Pasadena.

Surviving Mr. Atkinson are his Margaret B. Atkinson, and a son, William Atkinson, who has made Ms home here for many years. The latter recently joined the statr of the Arcadia Tribune. Mr.

Atkinson, inc. made his home in Arcadia for wi-ven years. he made a large circle of friends. He was an a of note and had gained prominence through contributions to the world of literature. Raise $3,250 in Community Drive Full Quota Expected to Be Be Raised by End of Campaign Here Indications that Arcadia will reach its quota in the community relief fund drive which has been in progress the past two weeks are most favorable, according to G.

J. Hamilton, chairman of the committee which is directing the canvass. Already $3,250 has been pledged or donated, reports at the luncheon meeting of the committee last Monday revealed, and it is possible that the city will even go over the top in the drive. About sixty persons, all members of the teams who are conducting the campaign, were present at the luncheon at the Legion clubhouse. Motivated by a spirit of unselfishness, these men and women of Arcadia volunteered to assist in the campaign to raise funds for the welfare work, the character building organizations including the Y.

M. C. the Boy Scouts, and that "greatest of mothers," the Red Cross. Significant of the general attitude throughout the drive, it is stated, was the ready and willing donations made by those who have themselves felt the pinch of poverty and the depression. Although many in affluent circumstances gave generous donations, it was revealed, some of these failed to assist as well as was expected.

The fortitude displayed by the needy of the community is remarkable, states Mr. Hamilton, and if the fortitude of those who help will continue as great, the situation will be met here. Although the required sum is nearly raised, it should be remembered that the need is greater than ever, said Mr, Hamilton, and it is hoped that the community will remain "welfare minded" as long as the need exists. There been surprisingly little crime here as a result of the unemploymnt situation, it is said, and the welfare contribution plays no small part in keeping crime here at a low level. The drive probably will terminate this week.

Several persons not found at home heretofore still remain to be contacted, and it is hoped that the campaign will close with its total of or better realized. Donations of used clothing and other articles are always needed at the Thrift Shop, however, as a part of the work, and persons also are reminded that any usuable article is acceptable there. Local Contractor Is Awarded Highway Improvement A contract for grading three and one-half miles of general highways through the Sequoia National Park has been awarded to John Gist, local contractor, residing at 130 Bonita street.

The immediate residents in the neighborRood of tht- institution, it is said, favor allow.

ing the Pattersons Ut operate i such time as are able to dispose of their property without due loas, hence the petition. When questioned yesterday by a Tribune reporter about the mutter, Mayor Richard Krebs said ne had not seen the petition. "As to granting an extension of time." said the mayor, "there has been on permit for operation, therefore there can be no extensinn of time." "The real action rests i people of the neighborhood directly affected. If they are willing to allow the home to operate further and voice no complaint, I personally would not object to its continuance for a time. However, if any objection it made, the ordinance mint bt enforced.
