SIMPLE FACTS ABOUT nocALes

From a civic development
standpoint, Nogales has had a
beautiful start during the first
month of 1923. From the stand
point of civic activities we can
challenge any city in Arizona.
This morning the Arizona Good
Roads Association convened in
the civic auditorium and over
100 delegates were present with
more expected. Yesterday the
% representative secretaries
from the cham bers Of commerce
and advertising organizations

their two days convention. Yes
terday a great airship sailed
from the new civic airport that
was officially dedicated on Sat
urday for one of the first avia
ton trips to the West Coast of
Mexico, and is expected back
with Governor Topete of Sonora
as passenger.
What other city in Arizona can
boast of such interest and &C
tivity in the few short days since
we bid adieu to 1927? What cities
in Arizona have such a list of
improvements mapped out for it
for the coming months as this
growing town? We have our
great new half million dollar
hotel opening up in the middle
of next month, we have the whole
street paving program, the new
water system, the installation of
lighting system. and the COM
pletion of our already splendid
airport to look forward to during
the next season.

 Elimination Of aircraft for Europe in offensive warfare is one thing but quite different thing for defensive warfare in the United States" he said.
 England is surrounded by Eur opean countries that are building strong air forces They can reach London through the air in few hours of darkness and there is prac- tically no defense against attack from the air except offensive in the air against the enemy.
 The United States is protected from air by distance and therefore our air forces are being built for defense and not for attack. Armies and navies will in the future be blind without aircraft and Presiden Coolidge's five year aircraft pro- gram is mainly to provide the army and navy with eyes"
