oath is unusual"
Scores of Nogales shoppers were
caught in the rain on the 23rd and
not since the historic launching Of
the NogaleS navy by Louis Escalada
and Ben White during the great
flood of several years ago has there
been such CONSERVATION.
Good Ship "MescaI'
For the benefit of those who may
not be familiar with the historic
cruise of the good ship "Mescal,"
which constituted the entire fleet
of the Nogales Navy, we review the
deeds of the two navigators who
in their youth challenged the
seething waters of the great flood.
It seems Louis and Ben had spent
the afternoon in a serious business
conference" and were so absorbed
in the business at hand that they
were wholly ignorant of the tor
trential downpour until the surging
waters entered the office" where
they were in conference" They
decided to go to their homes and
being unable to wade the swift cur
rents which filled the streets COM
mandeered a large wooden mortar
used for mixing concrete. After
suitably christening the ves sci the
navigators set sail for home. At the
corner of Morley and Park the
good ship "MescaP' went aground
on debris SO the embryonic Vik-
ings charted their course for Grand
avenue.
AS they raced past the city hall
water was several feet deep inside
the building and police and fire
men standing on de- ks tried to per-
Suade the navigators to unship by
shouting commands in language
underl TODD by sailors from ali part )
of the globe But Admiral Louis and
Commodore Ben were determined
to ride out the storm. At point
near the light plant Louis decided
he had unfinished business On dry
land and 'baued out Ben had
no choice but to seek harbor. Near
the site of the present civic center
the good ship ''Megcar' turned
turtle in the surging waters and
for several thrilling minutes Bel.
had serious doubts about the fu-
ture. Just as he was on the verge
Of being drawn into turbulent ar
royO a rising crest of the flood
Surged around him and carried
him to nearby pole to which he
clung until a party Of landlubbers
recruited by Admiral Esscalada came
down and rescued him just as the
clouds cleared away and once more
the kindly Arizona sun beat down
on the highways and byways. But
of the good ship ME- cal'' nothing
was ever found-the last greet
surge of the flood evidently carried
the worthy vessel on down the val
ley-and perhaps on to the sea
where, maybe even to this day the
Nogales navy bears the colors "puot
wanted.

Citizen Groups Hit
Low Flying Over
City Areas
Resolutions Drown Up
After Recent Crash
That Killed Two

Renewed protests against low
flying planes of commercial and
Army ownership over portions of
Washington have been made by vari-
GUS civic and fraternal organiza-
tions as a result of the plane crash
in Southeast Washington November
8, In which two lives were lost.
A resolution passed by the Mich
igan Park Citizens Association asked
the Civil Aeronautics Authority to
investigate and maintain vigilance
over the activities Of planes operat-
ing from the Queens Chapel Air
port, in nearby Maryland. John J..
Hurley, president Of that association,
declared the planes fly extremely
low, especially on Sundays. and are
regarded In the Northeast sector as
a menace to the safety Of the citi-
zens.
Southeast Council Acts.
The Southeast Council condemned
the practice OF low-flying as viola
ton of the regulations and danger
to the lives and property Of the peo-
pie.
The Lions Club and the South
east Business Men have also ex-
pressed themselves strongly in favor
Of more rigid enforcement Of regu-
lations governing the altitude to be
maintained by planes traversing the
heavily populated sections of the
city. The citizens Of the Southwest
section Of Washington have been
particularly aroused because Of the
recent fatal crash.
Adelbert w. Lee, president Of the
Randle Highlands Citizens Asso-
ciation, expressed himself as strongly
in favor of closer control.
Army planes, operating from the
Boiling Field base. and commercial
airliners, are constantly flying over
Southeast at an altitude that cannot
be within the law. Why, the boys
playing football in Fairlawn Park
have had to stop their games an
several instances because they could
not hear their signals for the noise
low-flying airplanes have created"
1rec OHppeO Ou.
Another instance of the continu-
GUS violation of the regulations was
cited to me by woman from the
Congress Heights area who stated
an Army plane few so low last week
that it clipped nearly foot Of foil
age from the. top of trees on her
property. She also said the vibra-
tions are constantly rattling the
china in her cupboards.
If something is not done to curb
these violations, another crash may
result in the loss of the lives of citi-
zens on the ground as well as Of
those of the aviators. Randle High
lands will take the matter up and
bring all the force at its command to
see that these violations are halted" :"
The Civil Aeronautics body and all
adjacent air-fields will be notified
of any action taken by the Randle
Highlands Association.
Protests will also be lodged with
the authorities concerning alleged
experiments with the various pitches
Of propellers at Boiling Field. which
have caused annoyance to the citi-
zens of the surrounding areas.

Naming the Bridge After Sousa
To Be Pressed VIGOROUSLY,

10 De freSSeQ vigorously.
President Adelbert w. Lee of
the Randle Highlands Citizens
Association. who is also vice
chairman of the Board of Trade
Committee on Bridges. has
named committee to put on a
vigorous campaign to line up
civic support of the legislation
required to name the new Penn
sylvania avenue bridge over the
Anacostia River in line with
Pennsylvania avenue after John
Philip Sousa. The chairman of
this committee is B. F. Dixon,
jr.. of 2248 Minnesota avenue
Sc. Chairman Dixon is a ma
tive of the District, a musician
and an ardent admirer of the
March King" and his world
popular compositions. He lives
just about two blocks from the
bridge and promises to do his ut
most to help put this project
through.
Many citizens, it appears, are
under the impression that the
new bridge has already been
named after Sousa, one of the
Districts most famous natives,
but this is not so. A bill intro
duced by the late Senator Royal
. S. Copeland of New York was
reported favorably by the Senate
District Committee despite an
unfavorable report by the Com
missioners. The bill is still on
the Senate calendar and will die
with the Seventy-fifth Congress.
1t will be introduced in the new
Congress and will require civic
support both by organizations
and individuals if it is to be
passed.
Chairman Dixon desires to ac-
cumulate all of the Endorsements
of this legislation he can get,
both from organizations and in
dividuals. He wants one copy for
the Senate and one for the House
of Representatives. They should
be addressed to the Senate Com
mittee on the District of Co.
lumbia and the House Commit
tee on the District of. Columbia
and mailed at once to Mr.. Dixon
at his address given above. This
legislation will not require any
expenditure and therefore will
not burden the taxpayers.

schools being located within the
extensive dry areas covering the
residential districts were further
protected by such location.
When the 18th amendment was
repealed and Congress got busy
framing a new liquor law, in
great haste, the requests Of the
civic forces that residence Sec
tions, schools and churches be
protected were ignored. These
civic leaders were, however, by
legislators assured that the law
was so framed as to clothe the
Commissioners with very broad
powers as to the making of regu-
lations to take care of all such
details. Civic groups have urged
the Commissioners repeatedly to
enact such regulations, but their
pleas have gone unheeded.
Those who have studied the act
believe that the powers given the
Commissioners are broad enough
to enable them to give the Dis
trict fairly good and protective
liquor law. AS the Commission
ers have failed to give the resi-
dental sections, the schools and
the churches the protection de-
sired there is a strong and grow.
ing sentiment favoring amend
ments to the law which will give
projections which were given by
earlier laws.
Nearly all, If not all, of the
neighborhood organized bodies
have been confronted by the
problem Of preventing the grant,
ing Of liquor licenses in residen-
tial and school neighborhoods.
1t has been to a large extent
one fight after another. New
applications keep on being filed.
This opposition to the granting
of licenses in such neighbor-
hoods is not confined to total
abstainers and prohibitionists,
for there are many drinkers who
have taken pronounced stands
against the licensing of such es-
Establishments in their own neigh
borhoods.
Some of the organizations, it
is understood, will include in
their legislative programs an item
for drastic amendments of the
A. B. C. Act. They want to re-
duce the discretion of the A. B.
C. Board. relieve the Board of
Education of this troublesome
business and withdraw from the
Commissioners the enlarged pow
ers which they fail to exercise in
the interest of the community.
