Arizona Lovely , SpotTo Vacation Is A Picturesque SUte Although Part Of It la A Desert. Dear Editor: It Is now vacation time In Ari zona. People are Hocking to the mountain* with their fishing tackle, tents, and kiddles. The family car look* like a cross between a hard ware store and a gypsy wagon, with fishing poles, tent poles, frying pans bedding, etc., sticking ail over. But hubby has a smile on his face and friend wife is showing her new gold tooth, and the kiddies are all a'gig ?!e. The mountains show In a distance. There will be plenty of shade and bright trickling water in the streams What a relief from the desert grind and strain and noises of the city. Soon there will be fried trout, melt ed butter and stale bread and the wife will get sunburned and start to complain and the mosquito bites will have to be doctored, and the clog will get some new ticks and everything will be wrong again and we will start back "to the. city through long desert stretches and dry roads. A tire will blow out on rtoea the last spare and we will de clare that we will never take an other vacation as long as we live. The kids will all be cross and want to stop at the most expensive roadside Inn where chicken dinners are advertised for $2.00 per plate, end we will pretend we did not hear. Pretty soon we will reach the city and turn In on the little side street where stands the little bunga low. and It looks good even though the yard Is unswept and there are reveral days accumulation of news papers and spoiled milk left two days after we left. But Its home Find we are glad to see it. And the next morning bright and early we ere back at the office in the same old grind, seeing the same old faces nnd hearing the same old line of talk—all hoeey, but Its life and we are glad to be alive, and we wish that another vacation time was rear. A Wonderland. Arieona. with its artificial lakes, rational parks and play grounds rnd scenic wonders. Is Indeed the wonderland of the world. No one has ever seen anything worth while until they have viewed the Grand Canyon of Arizona, spent a night In the Garden of the Gods, near Prescott, and seen the Gran ite Dells, travelled for miles through j the pines near Flagstaff or Williams -nd then looked on the Petrified 7orest and seen the Painted Desert r,nd a hundred other places of In terest in the state. No other state in the Union is more picturesque. There are so many things of Interest to see that -ven many natives have never seen them all. Don’t Be Afraid. .In Arizona, the Indians will not aalp you. The two gun men will not 'hoot you, the wild steers will not -ore you, the homed toads will not horn you, and the rattlers should not rattle you, but there are many things that will sting ^ou, bite you nd stick you, and especially the Cholla Cactus, otherwise known as the Jumping cactus. Beware of them and stay your distance and don’t be afraid of road runners, they will not run over you. Just how birds can light on the Giant Cactus without injuring their *tny feet has always been a mys tery to me, and I haye seen wood neckers bore holes into the Sahuara ractus and climb around through the needle-like stickers wl^out the -lightest concern. But let a man touch one and he will not only get stuck but will perhaps have to see a doctor to get the stickers remov ed. With all these little disadvantag es. Arizona Is wonderful at this time of year, and the air Is pure and healing and has given many a new lease on life. Fighting Their last Battle. Frequently In the late afternoon rnd evening I drive out through Prradise Valley starting ten miles north of Phoenix and extending for over twenty-five miles northward rnd stretching between the hills to a radius of about sixty miles, and visit with my sick comrades of the World war, who In litle shacks are fighting their last battle. Many of these boys win the fight and are rble after a time to return to tneir homes almost completely restored to normal health, but many of them rylll never leave the desert alive end realize It. The desert air has some what prolonged their life, but Ger man poison gas and exposure In the trenches done Its work too well be fore these men ever heard of the desert, or of Arizona’s climate. In some instances the govern ment is at fault. Had these men been sent here years ago., they would have been well and home long -go, and the government would not hrve them to worry about. (If Its oossible for a government to worry about anyone), but they were kept <n eastern hospitals fighting the battle of governmental red tape un til all hopes of recovery had van ished: then in some Instances they -.ere sent here, or allowed to come here, but most of these men paid their own way and some of them are not yet receiving benefits from their government. Ti'-oco who ere receiving govern-; ment compensation have a better chance of recovery as they do not have finances to worry about as much as those who, through red tape, and Inefficiency of the vet erans bureau, have not yet been able to establish their claims to the satisfaction of the powers that be. The law Itself governing these mat ters Is fair enough, but those In charge of Its administration are In capable and unfair to the veterans as a whole and there Is yet entire ly too much red tape. Not Down muMI, One would naturally suppose that the great majority of these men are downhearted, blue and despondent. It la not so. While some of them realize that the end la Inevitable, that they will never leave the des ert alive, they are cheerful—far more so than you would suppose they could be, and that fighting spirit can be seen In their eye. That determination that brought the war to an end two years before the great French generals thought pos sible. Those of us who are able to be about and wOTk everyday, pven though some of us will not live an other ten years, we should be very thankful that we are as well off as we are and that we do not have to lay on our backs all day and all night and for months and years in these little desert shacks waiting for the end that we know will sure ly come. Life, Itself, even though Just a spark Is sweet, and especial ly to us when we attain middle age In life to the stage Just where we should learn how to really live. While many ef our congr fmen and many of our senators and oth ers In high office will tell you that the government Is taking care of Its disabled veterans and they will point out the ample laws to you to prove It. But it Is not. Travel over Arizona’s deserts. Not only in the Paradise valley but anywhere In Arizona where they have gathered and you will find a large percent age of them who have not yet prov en their claims and many of them die without ever having a chance of proving them. No doubt many have starved to death and some have died from want of proper medical attention. 1, - The laws are liberal enough but the red tape Is too abundant, and were It not for the American Legion and other service organizations the conditions would be still worse. Give many men a job to do a certain thing and they will do it well for a time and then they will begin to lag and this applies especially to a gov ernment Job in the Veterans Bu reau. The trouble Is they have kept the men In charge too long. If they would fire the executives of the bu reau every eighteen months, or oft ener better results for the veterans would ensue. The Republicans have controlled the situation too long. Their appointees have begun to feel too secure and they care very little for the sick veterans while they can draw their own fat pay checks. But the spirits of these veterans who have died for lack of proper care and attention sfeould haunt these pie eaters to their grave. Sincerely, RAMBLIN’ BILL. Phoenix, Arizo, June 6, 1931.
