Let Nogales Service Men Cross Line!

There may be good reason for military authori-
ties prohibiting nonresident soldiers and sailors of
Nogales visiting Nogales Sonora, but we can't see
the sense in including Nogales service men in such
ruling.
. Each week Nogales boys in the armed forces
come home on furloughs. majority of these boys
were raised here, many born here, and Nogaes Son
ora, separated from Nogales, Arizona, by only a
boys as is Nogales, Arizona.
Before these youths got into the service they
were across the line in sister city almost daily.
Many have relatives in Nogales Sonora, and all have
close friends in the two cities.
It is keen disappointment for boy to come
home and not be allowed to step across the me. a
Applying such restrictions to Nogaes youths is about
as sensible as telling Nogaes boy he cannot visit
Patagonia.

ton to rescnd the order insofar it Nogales
