Happy New Year Everybody:

Happy New Year Everybody:
Well, this letter winds up this
column, and we will put the column
in moth balls until the next war.
We will also put Bookas in with the
moth balls-and heaven help the
moths
Anyhow, it was fun writing the
letter and we appreciate all the
swell letters we received back from
the kids, so here are few impress
sions:
We like Nogales because =.
Nogales has the friendliest people
of any town in the whole United
States. You wake up in the morn
ing feeling low, sore at the world,
and yeh! maybe with hangover,
too, and walk down Morley avenue
and everyone greets you with a
pleasant, CHEEKY good morning. It's
goodby to your sour-puss by the time
you hit the line.
We like NogaleS because the pref
tiest girls in the world can be seen
on Morley avenue. That is, preJtier
than Hollywood, New York-in fact,
every place except possibly San
Francisco. We will have to with
hold our opinion on that compari-
son until we go to San Francisco
this summer and take one more
look at the beauties on Powell
street. And then we will compare
Figures" that's fun, too.
Our three favorite football teams
are Notre Dame, st. Mary's and
Nogales High, and not necessarily in
that order although we think they G
finish in that order if they played
each other.
Our favoriUe "crooner its
not Bing Crosby and it's not Frank
Sinatra. It's Jack Harris, the toma
tero. He sang "Cuddle Up Little
Closer" to two gold fish in Fresno
and then there were three" That's
putting the old feeling into song
Other impressions
Look -alikes":: Andy BookaS ane
Donald Duck (profile); Gene Sykes
and Donald Duck, (rear view. E
K Cumming looks like ''The Little
King in the Sunday funnies, anc
then Jack Hoyt looks like Jiggs
and the boss at the Concordia look
like Popeye the sailor-and I lool
like hell in a bathing suit.
Ask the first ten people you NEE
on the street to name two Republi
can in Nogales and the first MIN
will say "Sisk and Cumming" ant
the tenth will say Cumming ant
Sisk."

RC.-Recently ! purchased a
home here in the North where
have beer for the past few years
Would it be a good idea for me L
sell my home in the south and pay
the money I get from it on the
home I have here or continue pay
ing taxes there and trying to pay
off the notes on theone up here.
Ans: There is every indication
that you intend to make your home
permanently there where you arc
so why not sell your other place
and clear up the Indebtedness on
the new investment. You Will
probably realize more steady mon
ey from the old home now than you
ever will again. The rent you are
receiving from this place is barely
enough to offset the taxes and ex-
penSe it requires to keep it up.
