LOGAN

Juarez Is a Mexican town of some
size. Irrigating canals run through its
principal roads enforcing the growth or
a narrow green patch on the dusty, bar
rem soil and nourishing long lines OF
fruit trees. High walls of s~un-baked
mud bricks border the roads, along
which the dark-skinned inhabitants in
their gaudy serapes drive the Mexican
burros loaded with mesquit wood. The
streets are in lines of struggling one
story stores. many filled with Mexican
curios. queer little brown cloth or
waxen figures. representing the occu-
pations of the people n miniature
pottery. rude limitations of the cook
ing and drinking utensils of the coun-
try.
From a patio back of one of these
stores on an exquisite moonlight night
came the dulcet tones OF a young girls
voice singing 'Sobre las Olas." The
sound so perfectly accorded with the
silvery night X eemed as though the
moonlight radiated in sweet music. To
the accompaniment of Antonio's guitar
sang Bonita Flores. This lovely Next
can girl was the SOU of music. and
