When I think of The Fam- T’s Ts ily of Rotary, I don’t just think of the fellowship and camaraderie (Tom’s Thoughts) that we as Rotarians enjoy at our meetings and while working together on projects. I also think of the interaction we have with each other’s fam- ily members at special events. This is particularly true during this wonderful Holiday Season where we start by giving thanks for the many material blessings we have and finish optimistically looking forward to the expectations of the new year. One of the primary reasons people join and continue to stay in Rotary is because it is fun and informative. Remember that everyone is busy and they probably have other things to do with the time they By Tom Burns, District Governor spend on Rotary unless they enjoy their Rotary activities more than whatever else they could be doing.

  • The Superstition Mountains: What Future Use Will Best Serve Arizona?
    [c. 1962] THE SUPERSTITION MOUNTAINS What Future Use Will Best Serve Arizona? A Special Report By Rep. Morris K. Udall The population of Arizona is increasing by some 60,000 people every year -- equivalent to the 1960 populations of Flagstaff, Prescott, Yuma and Safford combined. By 1970 our population will move well beyond 2,000,000. Additional land for commercial and residential purposes will be required. Existing facilities for every public need, including recreation and parks, will feel increasing pressures. Those of us entrusted with present day leadership in Arizona affairs ought to peer ahead now and then, as best we can, and take a long-range view. This report is an attempt to fulfill part of that responsibility. The press of population and our nation's diminishing recreational resources throughout the country have made Congress and the President anxious to undertake a long-range program of resource planning. If Arizona has any aspirations and needs in this field, the next few years will be the time to act. I expect that more new national parks, monuments and recreation areas will be created in the next 5 years than in the last 30. By 1964 a new National Recreation Area will come into being around Powell Lake behind Glen Canyon Dam. The 87th Congress has established Cape Cod National Seashore; it is considering and will probably establish new national parks at Point Reyes, California, Padre Island, Texas, and the Utah Canyonlands within the near future. The Wilderness Bill, a central part of this bi-partisan effort, has already passed the Senate and should pass the House before adjournment.

Findings, information, and recommendations are those of students and are not necessarily of Arizona State University. Student reports are not peer reviewed for statistical or computational accuracy, or comprehensively fact-checked, in the same fashion as academic journal articles.

As the inaugural community partner for the program, we could not be more pleased with the relationship the city has developed with the students, professors, instructors, and Project Cities staff. This semester we were fortunate to have the opportunity to work with over 70 students on four projects that engaged five university professors and classes. The students and professors brought fresh perspectives and unique approaches to their work. On behalf of the City Council, we can say that they are impressed with the relevant project work, and we are sure that it will help make Apache Junction a place people love to call home.

  • Arizona, Pre 1930, White Border Post Card Collection Section 8
    Arizona, Pre 1930, White Border Post Card Collection Section 8 — Phoenix 2782 to P By Al Ring Early and Pre 1930, White Border: (Around 1898 to 1930) Pioneer Era (Pre 1898) — Most pre-1898 postcards share a few common traits: The postcard of this era is characterized by an undivided back (no line going down the center of the back of the postcard), and many con- tain printed lines on the back for the name of the addressee and his address only. Private Mailing Card Era (1898 to December 24, 1901) — On May 19, 1898, by an act of Congress, private printers were granted permission to print and sell cards that bore the inscription “Private Mailing card.” Cost of postage reduced from 2 cents to 1 cent. Undivided Back “Postcard” Era (December 24, 1901 to March 1, 1907) — The use of the word “POST CARD/POSTCARD” (as one or two words) was granted by the government to private printers. Writing was still not permitted on the address side. Divided Back Era (March 1, 1907 to 1915) (Golden Age) —Postcards with a divided back were finally permit- ted on March 1, 1907. The address had to be written on the right side of the back of the postcard while the left side was reserved for writing messages. White Border Era (1915-1930) —After WWI printers of view postcards, to save ink, a white border was left around the view, thus we call them “White Border” postcards. The higher cost of post-war publishing com- bined with inexperienced labor caused the production of poorer quality cards.
