Covered Garbage Pails Requested Town officials issued a warning to residents of Alamogordo this week with the expressed hopes that residents would comply with ordinances that request covered garbage pails, now available to all, as a health measure. Garbage service, installed last year throughout the town limits, was expanded to include also a special truck for this service ami all are asked to comply with the ordinances governing this health measure. Separation of wet and dry garbage and refuse is asked by the city, if an open container is used, but if wet is placed outside it must be covered, they request. Ben Rutz, manager, recommends use of a wire incinerator for burning of any inoffensive refuse thus making it easier to cover the remaining garbage until picked up.

11-35 victory over the smooth Pall-handling Las Cruces Bulldogs In the other finals game the Las Cruces team used their fine teamwork and ball handling to outscore a fighting Cloudcroft 58 to I but they could not stop Luevano, tournament shooting star, who scored 29 points against Silver City of 33 his team made and 15 against the superior Las Cruces five. Alamogordo, advance predictions not withstanding, advanced over Deming in their first game by a neat 11-29 victory, pulling away in a final drive after letting this team from the west side catch up after a driving start. In their second game they were not pushed by Cliff, first round bye and rode it out easily to win 36-i9, but against Las Cruces the Tiger kittens of Bosco Jordan, almost tossed away an early lead of 20 points in the first quarter. As tho game progressed into the last half the Tigers started to foul out and almost came up victims of some steady, consistent shots by Fierro and Ramirez, two tournament stars. Anthony had won their first contest on Friday afternoon, tournament opener, by a rousing last half drive to win 35-21, but did not look more than a match for Silver City, winners of the third Friday game.

However, Anthony came up with a real tournament brand of hall on Saturday morning and snowed Hot Springs under, 42-15, advancing to their semi-final spot against Cloudcroft, who had eliminated favored Silver City. Following the tournament Superintendent W. Burnie Caton presented cups to the Anthony and Las Cruces team, donated by the Alamogordo Schools, and a letter of presentation and victory of the Myrea Co. revolving trophy Duncan Promotes Benefit Grady Dungan, with the cooperation of a group of townsmen and Airmen from Holloman Air Force Base, pulled a one-event blitz against infantile paralysis here last Sunduy iii a burro-base- hall crowd pleaser at the bali park.

Alexander McNabb. police department is sponsoring a benefit dance, the Police Charity Ball, on Saturday night at the community center from 8:30 to 12:30 This dance Joe Moffett, chief, says is for the start of a fund to aid indigents and unfortunate travelers enroute through Alamogordo at times when other established relief agencies are functioning or are un a vail a I e. For this dance the police department has secured the Swing Kings dance orchestra, popular local musical group, and tickets may be secured at the town hall or from any member of the department, at $1.50 each. The police chief pointed out that many travelers are detained overnight if not aided immediately with funds for a few gallons of gasoline or other small items of aid that would be on their way elsewhere and need less aid here. The chief and fellow officers hope through this dance benefit to build a small fund out of which to aid this group of travelers.

Relief agencies, he said, normally take care of many travelers and needy stranded here during office hours and at all regular times and it is not the intention of his group, he stated, to interfere with any of their functions or actions in any Way, hut if possible, lighten their off-hour interruptions and calls.

Mabry to become effective to authorize the board of directors of the New Mexico School for the Blind, here, to issue bond sufficient to erect a new administration building and a superintendent's home. The senate measure was passed by the House and sent to the governor on Tuesday and was passed by the Senate a ago.

It authorized issuance of some $300,000 for the school building program. All plans except preparation of call for bids and details have been worked out by the board of directors and this is a renewal of a request granted in 1941 and postponed because of wartime conditions. In 1941 the state legislature authorized the expenditure but it not deemed advisable then to attempt the structures. The administration building will be a two-story affair built on the site of the present administration edifice hut it will he larger in length and breadth instead of a three story affair as now. This central building was erected in 1906 and is deemed at tDis time to be inadequate an I at present the music department and braille library are handicapped by lack of space and location, the board states, one being in the basement and the other "housed inadequately and Erection of the residence, which plans locate to the south of the primary building and adjacent to the cottage, will permit the resident superintendent to move his living quarters from the present administration building.

This will be a two-ntory, three-bed room structure. Both new structures, plans designate, are to be of brick so as to blend into the general landscaping of the entire group of School for the Blind now in use.
