La Celebration Del 5 De Mayo

La fecha gloriosa en- que ell ejercito Mexicano Sc cubno de gloria
al defender la integridad nacnnal, luchando por hacer desalojar ell terri
torio al invasor frances, nuevamente ha legado y, con clio, un motive
mas para que nuestro coraz6n Sc sienta enorgulecdo al recordar ess
gloriosas epopeyas que hablan muy alto del herOfsmo de nuestros soda-
dos, de la abnegacion de nuestros juanes que, mas an en- aquelos ITEM
pos, uchaban Embellishments no solo contra ell enemigo, sino tambien,
contra las necesidades corporales, podemOs decir, va que carecian no
solo hasta de armas iguales con que enfrentarse al enemigo, sio tam
bMn de vestimenta y muchas veces hasta de aimentos.
La vida para enos, no tenia importancia, morfan gusosos, ostentanto
en- sus labos sonrisas de aiento para los que vivian, los que, lejos de
desmayar, con mayor denuedo y valor atacaban al enemigo hasta
hacerlo retroceder.
Ano pr ano, en- cualquer parte en- donde habtan hijos de Mexico,
la fecha que recordamos es siempre celebrada, es siempre recordada
con respeto Y nunca es objeto o motive para lucro. Sc despierta ell
patriotismo, 81, pero Sc lie desperta por patriotismo tambien; por

Pero aqul, en- Tucson, triste es decnlo, por distanciamientos o por
falta de voluntad, los que debian preocuparse por celebrar tales
fechas, las dejan pasar en- ell divide y son otros los que Sc ocupan de clio.
Pero de que manera!

The question OF picture framing Is an

with regard 70 the pictures that are To

Old picture frames that may be found
IN attics, or sometimes bought for pre-

often we'll worth obtaining Mid-V!cto-
rian frames Of oval shape are often
most appropriate for prints of the same
date. Square and oblong frames can,
you know. be cut down. 50 the fact that
the frame does not fit the picture you
want to frame makes no difference,
Old frames that have become slightly
nicked can also be touched up. You
may be able TO do this yourself with
paint or lacquer. Then. too, an old
frame OF good shape may be entirely
repainted 10 give good results.
Usually the frame should be fairly

because If I don't my readers always
