With score of years of safe fly

After years of trying to figure
out how the jigsaw puzzle pieces
of Nogales are fitted together
along streets built at odd angles
to follow natural arrOyos, curiOsi-

From a height of a thousand feet,
Nogales is utterly beautiful In the

hues of color photographs showing
picturesque foreign cities in travel

read the signs on store fronts where
you trade, and if you're quick at
recognizing landmarks you can
catch fleeting, unfamiliar glimpse
of your own home.
Bill Beatus is a persistent man
in a nice way. Always trying to
win converts to aviation as sport
and time-saving mode of travel, he
had for months been issuing cordial

Day Navy Leave

SIG Virgil E. Allen is home OIL
a 3O-day leave following one and

He served on the 2,100 ton des-
troyer U.S.S. Remey when she led
the powerful 9th Fleet through the
heavily mined waters of MutSu Bay
on the north coast of Honshu, for
the occupation of Ominata Prefec-

The Remey was playing an old
role. She was the first us. man

teries at Saipan but lodged the fire
and silenced the batteries in a few
minutes.
The Remey also spearheaded a
torpedo attack against the japanese

Nogales To Be
On Air Line To
Salt Lake City

Nogales is to be on an air line
running from the border metrOpO-
lis to Salt Lake City and serving
Tucson, Phoenix, Grand Canyon,
Boulder Dam, Winslow, and other
points.
The line, over which flights are
scheduled to start not later than
April l, is result of an agreement
made this week by William Beatus
of the Nogales International Air
port with Arizona AirwayS, Inc, a
subsidiary of Transcontinental Wes-
tern AirwayS.
On the new line, which will be a
feeder for TWA, will fly two-engine
Lockheed Saturn 14-passenger ships,
capable of a speed of 1913 miles per
hour. Three such ships, costing
$85 600 each, have already been or
dered, and there will be two sched-
ules per day to the North and two
arrivals daily. The planes will make
Phoenix in one hour.
The new line will also take care
of air mail and air express from
Nogales.
Jack Frye, president of TWA,
with which Arizona Airways is con-
nected, is very much interested in
the development of Arizona and will
spend $1,000, 900 advertising Arizona
to the world and plans to give the
state complete air service, Mr..
Beatus said.
Beatus added that Frye proposes
to spend as much for Arizona as
did Eastern Airways in advertising
Florida.

Nogales Soldier
Sees Surrender
|Of' Yamashita E

WITH THE 32ND INFANTRY DI-
VISION ON NORTHERN LUzON
Oct. 25-Pfc. Vincent. R. Meza OF
Nogales, Ariz., participated in one
of the major historic events which
marked the close of the Pacific war
Pfc. Meza was member Of the
honor guard of "a enlisted men who
received Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita
Supreme Commander of all Japa-
nese forces in the Philippines, when
the Jap general emerged from his
lair in the Caraballo Mountains to
pass through the lines of the 32nd
Cred Arrow Division on his way
to the official surrender ceremonies
at Baguio.
The lieutenant in charge of the
guard greeted the smiling Tiger OF
Malay" at a rendezvous point on a
hill near the Cagayan Valley. Eleven
high ranking Jap naval and army
officers gave themselves up at the
same time.
Meza and the rest of the escort
platoon led YamaShjta over closely
guarded mountain trail to the native
village of Kiangan where this i'm
portant prize of the war was turned
over to the custody of the command
ing general of the 32nd Division.
For Meza and his buddies, the
surrender of Yamashita and his
staff terminated long period of
doubt and tension. Until the Jap
general appeared in person at the
forward outpost of the 32nd, no
Red Arrow man was certain that
the war was over in this sector, as
everywhere else. The time between
the Victory announcement and the
actual surrender on September End
were days of strain and SkepticiSm.
Pfc. Meza entered the 32nd Divi-
sion in April of this year and par
ticipated in the vigorous mop up
action on northern Luzon which
stopped only with the unconditional
surrender of the Japanese.
IT never expected to get in on
anything like that" said the No
gales doughboy about the Yamashita
deal, "and I shall never forget the
experience.
