Nogales Meets
Patagonia
Here Tonight
(By BILL TITCOMB)

Coach Johnny Herrera's twice
beaten Nogales Apache basketball
team is taking the court tonight
against the Patagonia Lobos at 8
o'clock.
A preliminary game has been
slated for seven with the High
School Braves going against one of
the city league teams. The team
has not yet been picked, but by all
reports the Braves are a greatly i'm
proved quintet and no matter which
team they meet, it should prove to
be a close fracus.
Nogales has defeated the Nogales
Amvets and dropped their only
interscholastic games to st. David
and the Glendale Cardinals. Due to
the fact that the Apaches have put
on fairly good showings against the
larger schools, they are rated as
slight favorites to stop the Lobo
cagers.
Bolstered by their fast moving
forwards, the Apaches should get
off to fast start against the Pata-
gonia team. Armando Preciado and
Dick Myers will be under the basket
on the rebound and Octavio Salgado
is expected to sink few of his long
throws. These three cagers have
taken turns in the high point honors
of each game and are the eagle eyes
of the Apache squad. Bobby Lopez
and John Logan will be the guards
that see the most action.
Patagonia has encouragement in
the fact that they have height over
the local club. The Lobos are not
to be underestimated and there is a
possibility that they might hand the
tribesmen their third loss of the
year.
The Apache hoopsters hit the road
tomorrow afternoon for Tombstone
where they are to meet the Yellow
jackets at eight o'clock.

Mexico On Verge OF Huge Industrial
EXPANSION And Needs All Kinds
OF Equipment, Says Phoenician

Foreign Trade Committee, said here
following his return from the inaug-
uration of Mexico's new president,
Miguel Aleman.
"And they're going to arrange
proper credits, through the Export
Import Bank, to pay for purchases
of American made equipment, .
Tade said. 1.-THE cordiality shown
me and other Americans during the
Inauguration would indicate that
Americans will have the opportunity
of getting their share of the business
to be generated"
Tade, who has business interests
of his own in Mexico, attended the
Inauguration ceremonies as the rep
resentative of the governor, the city
of Phoenix, and the Phoenix Cham
Der of Commerce. He came back,
he says, with the feeling that Amer
lean businessmen, particularly in
Arizona, should awaken to the great
trade potential which exists next
door,
High government officials in
Mexico assured me that the road
from Nogales to Guaymas would be
completely paved during the coming
year." he said. "This road un-
doubtedly will be great aid in slim
ulating trade, which should be bene-
ficial to both Arizona and Sonora,
but will make that state more easily
accessible to tourists which, of
course, would help Arizona, too.

Tough luck again this week-had
to work so missed the big show at
Tucson last Sunday.
Richard Merchant and Otho Kins-
ley sponsored the $4,000 matched
steer roping between Ike Rude of
Oklahoma and Carl Arnold of Ari-
zona. Winnie reported large
crowd. Carl Arnold used three
beautiful horses - Pepper, Peanut
and Big Red, and Rude used three
good horses-Nigger, Tony and
Blue.
Both Arnold and Rude made the
best time of the afternoon on their
first steers-Arnold 20.2 and Rude
23.2. When they had roped five
steers apiece there was only nine
tenths of a second difference in IA
vor of rude. Through their ninth
steer there was a difference of seven
seconds in favor of Arnold. Arnold
total time on IL steers was 412.2
Rude's time on II steers was 395.(
SO he had to tie his 18th in 17.2 te
even tie Arnold on II steers. Rude

MIR. Craig Pottlnger
Collector of Customs
Nogales, Arizona
Dear Mr.. Pottinger:
I have been instructed by the
Board of Directors to bring your
attention to the fact that the heavi-
! est travel Of the year over our in
ternational border occurs now, when
tourists are doing their Christmas
shopping. After observing the ter
rible congestion at the border this
past week, we must protest that no
steps have been taken to relieve the
situation.
Our town lives on international
trade and is one of the important
ports-of- ENTRY along the U. S.-Mexi-
can border. However, nothing has
been done in any way to facilitate
the passage of tourists and goods.
We would say that every other town
along the border has better traffic
planning than Nogales. This con-
dition will finally harm business to
tremendous extent. We hear COM
plants on all sides from people who
must remain in long lines at the
gates, whether they have anything
to declare or not.
If the United States government
has taken the stand that economy
dictates no improvement here, we
shall take it upon ourselves to col
lect funds and pay for this work
Naturally, we will solicit the ap-
proval and permission of the govern
ment for making repairs and i'm
provements which are within thei1
jurisdiction.
We hope that this appeal will re-
ceive the attention that it merits
Please advise us what disposition
has been made of it.
