WAS a stranger and ye took me
in" We are perfectly willing
L in one sense of the word to
take in" everyone who comes our way
but are we. as a city, as hospitable -
the stranger within our gates as we
might be- OF course, the majority OF
ms will Immediately start talking about
orr famous southwestern hospitality

ful Of newcomers as we might be?

that these five were themselves new
corners here One instance such as tndl
could rightly put a damper upon any
