From The Santa Fe New Mexican:

September 9, 1910: Editorial — A strong movement for statehood for Hawaii has been inaugurated and Congress will be pestered at its next session by Hawaiian statesmen who will promise the adoption of a safe and sane constitution in return for statehood.

Tomorrow the New Mexican will enlarge its form because of pressure upon its advertising columns and to make room for more reading matter. It is the custom of practically every newspaper to convert increase of patronage into a bigger and better newspaper.

September 9, 1960: Santa Fe public schools are faced with the possibility of having to trim their maintenance fund by about $168,000 — which would be equivalent to closing one of the larger elementary schools and firing all the teachers, janitors and clerical help in that school — if the Atomic Energy Commission and six uranium firms win a suit seeking refund of sales-tax money paid to the state of New Mexico and if the Legislature does not amend the present school tax law.

September 9, 1985: A 13-year-old Clovis girl was in critical but stable condition Sunday after a necessary heart transplant on her birthday Saturday. Nona White and her twin sister, Dawn, suffer from a congenital heart condition called familial cardiomyopathy — enlargement of the heart and diseased muscle tissue. Doctors say Dawn also eventually will need a new heart. Nona's condition was diagnosed in March and progressively worsened.
