DR.. G.. S. SMITH REPORTS
ROADS TO MEXICO CITY
IN VERY GOOD CONDITION
Highways All Paved Except For Sixty Seven Miles
Fog And Slides Make Driving Difficult
In Mountainous Sections

Mexico City,, DR.. Smith stated.
During our trip we saw cars from
38 different states and one from
Canada"
It is never necessary to change
gears on the mountain roads, ne
said. The rock base has been placed,
crushed and rolled, and the high
way is we'll patroled by motorcycle
officers and soldiers.
"There are two things, however
DR.. Smith stated, that the Mexl-
can government can never over
come - the heavy fogs and the
slides on the roads in the Sierra
Madre mountains.
"About 100 miles of the road IN
the mountains is a very hazardous
and nerve-wrecking proposition. IL
is necessary to drive with your
lights on and the Windshield wiper
going constantly as the fog IS SO
thick. Much of the time your vlsl-
bility is limited to 100 feet and part
of the time to less than this dis
tance. Then there is also the con-
slant fear of running into boulo-
er which may have dropped from
the mountainside.
Three Day Trip
A person can drive from Nogales
to Mexico City in three days very
easily. DR.. Smith said. There are
ample hotel, garage and gasoline
facilities along the highway.
He advises anyone contemplating
making the trip to make it a two
dav affair from Laredo, stopping the
first night in Victoria where good
hotel accommodations are available
Expenses incurred on an auto trip
to Mexico City are the same as Tor
a similar distance in the United
States.
DR.. Smith reports that Mexico
City is experiencing a building boom.
There are several new hotel build
ings under construction. and all no.
tells are filled to capacity.
DR.. Smith who was accompanied
bv his wife and two children, was
gone for two weeks.
1--WE made the trip without any
trouble and will long remember it as
a highly interesting one. In spite OF
the wonderful and interesting
things we saw and in spite of the
fine hospitality and many courtes-
les extended us, I have no desire to
ever again cross the Sierra Madre
mountains in an automobile because
of the fog and the Sides" DR..
Smith said.
