MEXICALI March 30-Residcnts
OF inland Imperial Valley communi-
ties are beating trail to the border
these days but in most cases it isn't
the glamour of gay Old Mexico thas
draws them it is juicy, thick
steaks and other solid food that
they fail to obtain in satisfying
quantities in their own home towns
Night clubs and regular eating
houses of MeXicali--even to tiny
taco stands-report doing land
office business to Americans during
The last several month.
ASKED POINT BLANK
Asked point blank what he at
trihuted his greatly increased buSi-
ness to, the owner of one of Mexi
calls most popular cafes countered
With a terse: Food shortage in the
United States"
Although the demand has been
extremely heavy, restaurants con-
tinue to serve large. appetizing
steaks with all the trimmings and
nc shortage is forecast. Where the
quantity of food per order has not
diminished a slight upward swing
in prices has been noticed. The
advance has not ben great. how
ever. and restaurant owners state
the increase is occasioned by high
er wholesale prices and an in
creased cost of items they use from
the Unitd States.

registered has pcrtaincd TO prices
being charged by drivers OF taxi
cabs. They report that such rates
are not uniform and that cabmen
are taking advantage of the fact
that many visitors do not drive
their cars across the line. In most
cases, it is charged, taxi operators
charge their clients according to
what they think they can extract
from them. MeXicali authorities
have received complaints concern
ing cab rates.
Tourists expect little less atten-
ton these days but most of them
admit Mexicali service tops that
found in most inland cities.
As a result of the huge crowds
the border attracts because of its
ample supply of food, night clubs
and saloons are enjoying bumper
business. owners of these eStab-
lishments frankly admit that they
we're seriously worrid when the
gasoline rationing edict was an
nounced and they feared they
would lose the lucrative tourist
business.
STILL CROSS
Great numbers of valley residents
still find that Mexicali isn't far,
however, and can easily be reached
on their "A" ration of gasoline oc-
casionally. Then. too, many per-
sons take advantage of business
trips and stroll across the line for
satisfying meals.
