SIGNED: PREFACE This study was undertaken to analyze factors associated with the success and with the failure of attempts to establish public junior colleges in two large, sparsely populated counties in Arizona. Since much of the analysis was based on case studies of the two counties, an important aspect of the study was the presentation of the political history of the attempts to establish junior colleges in Cochise County, Arizona, between 1961 and 1962, and in Pinal County, Arizona, between 1961 and 1963. For their contributions toward the development of the study and for their specific suggestions, grateful acknowledgment is made to Dr. Lloyd E. McCann, Dr. Jerald L. Reece, and Dr. Marsden B. Stokes. Acknowledgment is also made to Dr. Oliver F. Sigworth and Dr. Alan E. Craven for their suggestions and cooperation. A special debt of gratitude is due Dr. John T. Greer for his important contributions to the design and development of the study, for his will­ ing cooperation under difficult circumstances, and finally for his constant encouragement. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter F>aSe LIST OF TABLES i* ABSTRACT xi I.

Supervisor Anthony Smith was absent. Call to Public Barry McCain, Arizona City, appeared before the Board and expressed his satisfaction with the Board of Supervisors and stated that they have served the people well. David Coward, Gold Canyon, addressed the Board regarding Highway 60 and the fact that it is designated the Jefferson Davis Memorial Highway. He asked that the Board consider taking that designation off the highway. Chairwoman Chase asked staff to look into that and Supervisor Rios recommended to staff that they relay the request to the State. U.S. 60 is a state highway and comes under the jurisdiction of the State of Arizona. Tom Bean, Casa Grande, appeared before the Board regarding an article wherein the County Attorney stated marijuana dispensaries hurt Pinal County. Mr. Bean feels medical marijuana dispensaries help Pinal County and when opened, you have less of a criminal element. He does not feel the County Attorney is helping the Board make correct decisions.

  • History of FPC the First 120 Years, by Bill Heinle, 2016 in 1896 the Community of Casa Grande Numbered About 350 Souls, and on May 3Rd of That Year It Was Official
    History of FPC The First 120 Years, by Bill Heinle, 2016 In 1896 the community of Casa Grande numbered about 350 souls, and on May 3rd of that year it was official. Casa Grande and Arizola had their very first Protestant church, named Endeavor Church. It was the eleventh Presbyterian congregation to be organized in the Arizona Territory. Dr. Augustus E. Marden, a well-known physician, and L. C. Butler, an agent for Southern Pacific Railroad, were the first two elders to be ordained. The Arizona Republican stated at the time, “We believe a large future opens before this church, which starts out well and comes at a time when interest of the community is aroused on matters of religion and the advantages of having a church organization in their midst.” Two years before, Rev. Henry A. Thompson, began laying the ground work for a new church. He had a circuit of preaching spots at Arizola, Casa Grande and Maricopa all along the Southern Pacific Railroad main line. He traveled from one point to the next via handcar. The first meetings of the church were held in the first adobe schoolhouse First Adobe Schoolhouse located near present day Elliott Park. The first church building was erected in 1899 at the southwest corner of Florence Street and 1st Avenue from an icehouse that was disassembled in Florence and reconstructed into a two-room church building dubbed “The Little White Church.” There was one good sized room where services were held and a smaller supply room. There was no electricity in the building until many years later.
