have your very nice telegram of

gratulationS upon the fact that the
Arizona Legislature has approved
the contract between the federal
government and our state for the
delivery of Colorado River water for
use in Arizona, Internationally rati-

conjunction with and assist the
Bureau of Reclamation in making
the necessary plans to utilize the

five million acre feet from the Colo

Eddie Soto, GIN sc
somewhere in italy
Oscar C. Soto: Army Air Corps
Gilbert Soto, Marine Raider
Battalion, S.W. Pacific
and all the other Sotos.
Dear Eddie, and the other
so-and-so Sotos:
Received your letter Eddie from
somewhere in Italy, Sure, we
know you miss the old burg, but
for Pepe's sake and mine too, don't
miss any of those Nazis. Same goes
for you guys in the South Pacific.
Eddie, in your letter you ask, rs
the old gang still laround?" Brother,
that's about all that's left-the OLD
gang. Yeh, sorry to tell you there
are several Gold. Stars on that
monument Let's hope that there
won't be any more.
AS for your application for the
corner of Morley and international
to sell apples when you come back.
No soap and no corner for you
either AS a matter of fact, that
corner has been reserved for the
Tomateros. What with the rain,
frost, etc.; we poor guys will have
to sell tomatoes on that corner
That's about as far as some of these
tomatoes will carry anyhow.
Of course few of these tomato
guys are lousy with money (some
of them are lousy without money!.
One of them that has made ton
of money in the last few years was
strutting up Morley. avenue the
other day and I sez to him, IT sure
am glad that you are in the real
money. How about loaning me fifty
dollars? mol" sez he emphatically.
''Well,' I sez, I'll say this for you:
success hasn't changed you any,
All the gang sez Hello" to you.
Pepe, of course, sez more, and to
Gilbert and Oscar he sez more than
I can tell 'em.
That's about all, fellow, except
that the wandering barber George
Januel returned last week from
Pearl Harbor. Same old George,
same old razor-more hicks in that
razor than there are Nicks in
Greek coffee house.
Went into the barber shop the
other day to get a shave I drew
Pete Vale as the barber Pete
seemed kinda jumpy. 1t made me
nervous.
I asks, What happens if you
accidentally cut a customer-does it
make the boss sore?''
I'll say it does" sez Pete, Ito
make us be careful, he makes us
pay a dollar to him every time we
cut a customer But I should care
I won five hundred in the lottery
yesterday"
Best regards,
MARTY
P.S.-Notice your "P.S." which
reads, do not send me an absentee
ballot" Don't worry!
