According to reports from the border at Nogales,
shipments of fresh vegetables from Mexico are run
ming nearly so per cent above last years importa-
tons This increase is no doubt DUE in large part at
least, to the lowering of the tariffs imposed on this
class of exports from Mexico It has been estimated
that approximately 5000 cars of Mexican vegetables
will cross at Nogales this season as against 5000 last
year
L The Mexican winter vegetables, including green
peppers tomatoes and peas, arrive at time when
domestic truck is not available, and thus afford a
welcome opportunity for American housewives to
supply their families with fresh vegetables Acting
ON the selfish demand of Florida growers congress
few years back hiked the import duties on Mexican
winter vegetables to point where their purchase by
families in modern circumstances was out of the
question. Importations dropped off sharply The
Florida growers not able to supply the eastern
demand much less that of the west where their prod
ucts seldom appear on the local markets. The net
result of that mistaken action by congress was that
western consumers were deprived Of green winter
vegetables and easteers had to pay greatly ncreas
was removed.
Only the consumers suffered
We hope the action of congress in reducing the
lmposts on Mexican vegetables pressage the time
when they will be abolished altogether The econom
les OF the situation fully warrant such procedure.
We hold that free and unrestricted importation
OF Mexican winter vegetables would constitute
practical demonstration Of friendliness that would
accomplish more toward the Improvement of relations
with neghbors to the south than reams of owe1y
words.
Words are cheap; actions count. (Arizona Fax

A ic-Spirited Citizen

If someone asked us to name the most public
spirited citizens of Santa Cruz County among names
that would come to mind Immediately is that of
R. T. Frazier, member of the county board Of super
vsors and for many years manager Of the local stage
office
natural-born civic worker he is always doing
things toward betterment of the community.
Highlighting all his efforts, in opinion his
most outstanding work has been in behalf OF the
youth of this city He is true friend of boys and
girls and always has smile and kind word for
children. He has probably done more than any other
local citizen in arranging for transportation by bus,
train, and private car, of high school marching
unit and athletic groups numerous trips, giving
freely of his time and money to to it that "the
boys and girls got there"
One of the most successful community drives
ever held here was managed by Frazier. That was
the salvage campaign of few weeks ago. He was
county chairman and under his direction, and ably
assisted by R. c. Blabon, Jake Rochlin, Ben Wilde
and others, Santa Cruz County made record far
exceeding that of any other county of it's size Ill the
state and surpassed some counties larger than
Santa Cruz
A strong advocate Of city beautification R. T.
Frazier has in his yard on Quarry street veritable
sea of hundreds and hundreds of beautiful flowers,
and, too he is doing his bit in the victory garden
movement for amid those flowers is planted various
kinds of vegetables ready for the table, and
all of this result of many hours of work the part
of Mr.. Frazier and his charming wife and daughter.
"R. T., as Mr.. Frazier is better known to his host
of friends, is outstanding civic worker Of A1i

loyal friend

life is very pleasant, too. We al
ways have some sort of entertain
ment brewing. For example, this
weekend we are going to house
party which is being given by our
sorority, Delta Kappa Phi, at the
summer home of one of our sorority
sisters in Mississippi. We are now
full-fledged members Of it, having
been formally initiated last week.
School ends the latter part Of
May, so we'll be home sometime in
June. 1t will be nice to be home
again after being away for nine
months without seeing our family.
We don't believe there are any
Nogales boys stationed down here
as we have never seen one familiar
face. Last November we saw Bob
Dawson and Bill Underwood on
their way to Alabama. We had a
very good time together.
Thank you again for the paper.
We will be seeing you soon We hope
you succeed in getting rid of all

Dear Mr.. Pottinger:
Inasmucn as it appears that my
turn in the draft is imminent, I
would like to again remind you of
my present whereabouts in order
that I may receive the notification
without delay.
My status in the draft classifica-
tions remains the same. I am still
married, have one child age 3 and
am not engaged in deferable &C.
cupation.
My mother sends me the Nogales
international occasionally and I
have thus been able to keep up with
Nogales news. was sorry to learn
that Wally Smith left and thovoht
that your editorial effort in his be-
half was fine example of the
straight-talk policy the country
seems to need at the moment. I
suppose Nogales has had quite a
change since left, but if there is
still anyone around who remembers
me give them my regards.
Very truly yours,

Dear MI. Pottinger,
Please excuse us for not having
written to you sooner, but you know

come to the realization that weeks

complished what you set out to do.
You sit down, determined to get all
that letter writing finished, and
before you know it you're engaged
in conversation with someone who
dropped into your room, ETC. That's
the way it goes!
First of all we want to thank you
for your kindness in sending us The
International every week. You can't
imagine what a great source of en-
joyment it is for us. We really look
forward to receiving it. It's like an
old familiar face or voice, which
instantly brings thoughts of homf
to our minds. Were it not for the
paper, it would be impossible for III
to know much of what is going OF!
in our home town, as letters from
home can't possibly include every
thing that is going on.
I suppose you are wondering what
our impression of New Orleans is.
! know you won't be surprised when
we tell you that we're crazy about
it, as New Orleans is famed for its
beauty and charm. We loved it
