We don't believe We'll have

WILMINGTON BASKS
IN WARMEST DAYS
SINCE SEPTEMBER

You folks who took off your
coats and rolled UP your shirt
sleeves yesterday did the right
thing.
Because yesterday was the
hottest day Wilmington has
cooked in since September 20,
1915, when the thermometer
registered 81 degrees.
The temperature yesterday
zoomed to Sc degrees, one de-
gree lower than the latest high
mark of last year.
The all-time high for April
is SO degrees, registered back
in 1925. But March, that unpre-
dictabIe "black Sheep" has an
all-time high of "a degrees,
recorded in 1907.

come first before higher educa-
ton. Also, would like to say
that this trouble comes at a time
when the entire country is trou-
bled, when every faction is at
tempting to reestablish itself in
its own ideas arsi in which there
are frequent clashes. The fact
that little old Key West is getting
all hot and bothered on this edu-
cation question is not matter for
reproach, but rather praise that
at last many of our insular handi-
caps are being done away with
and we are getting sensitive to
the national scene. There is much
in our insularity which is fine,
such as a type of friendliness and
hanging together, not often seen
elsewhere; good way of living
and much hearty fun, but there is
another type of narrowness bred
by little contact with the outside
world which is not good and
which handicaps our lives and our
work. 1t is good that this latter.
is being done away with. 1t is a
sign that we are using the valu-,
able experience of other sections
of the country to improve our
community.

The Republican of Mexico con-

and the Federal District. The es-
timated population in 1888 was
19,464,55 Mexico City, with a
population in 1910 of 1,464,556, is
the center of the national life of
Mexico and the seat of govern
ment. 1t is located on the Pan
American Highway.
Merida, the chief city of south
eastern Mexico and an important
distribution center. for agricul-
tural products, is the port into
which ferry service from Cuba
will move. From Merida the
Pan-American Highway will en-
able motorists and tourists to
travel through the heart of Mex
leo.
Climatic conditions vary great
ly in Mexico. Generally the
coastal areas are tropical in char
acter. A temperate climate ex-
lists at attitudes between 5000
and 5000 feet. A cold zone ex-
lists at attitudes in excess of 5000
feet. Motorists on the, Pan
American HighWayawill have an
opportunity to travel through
nearly all of these zones.
The monetary unit of Mexico is
the peso. The sterilization agree
ment between the United States
and Mexico, dated November 26,
1941, in which the peso was es-
tablished at 485 pesos to one
United States dollar will enable
tourists from the States" to trav-
ell with q minimum amount of
currency difficulties.
Americans, the greatest chew
ers of "chew gum, will when
travelling there have the oppor-
tunity to see for themselves how
the basic ingredient of chewing
gum, chicle, is gathered. Chicle
is the dried sap of the sapote tree
and is produced and exported in
great quantities from Mexico.
AS of January. l, 1941, there
were 1904 United States citi-
zens. living in Mexico.
Travelling from Mexico, motor
lists, if they desire to see Central
America, will have the same open
road reckoning them southwark
that took them through Mexico.
The same highway will enable
them to travel as far south as the
