Last year Charles Gordon, pro-
prietor of Gordon's Shoe Store,
1876 E. Pennington, got so lone
some for his hometown of Brook
lyn, that he transplanted "tree
that grew in Brooklyn" to the
back of his store. Lately the tree,
which Gordon calls a ''zoona"
tree, has not been growing well,
so Gordon wired his son, Joseph,
that when he came to Tucson, to
be sure and bring a jug of water
from Brooklyn. The tree wasn't
responding to Tucson water, and
maybe it was lonesome for some
thing from Brooklyn, too, he
thought.
Joseph arrived last week and
sure enough he brought along
some of the precious water from
the East. Gordon and his good
friend, Jake Weinberg, are telling
Joe just where to pour the Brook
lyin water so that not a drop will
be wasted.
According to Gordon, all for
mer Brooklynites are invited into
his store any time they want a
free look at the ''tree that grew
in Brooklyn"

HAZEL
EYES
BY Hazel Bronnon

This week October 1-8 is being
observed as National Newspaper
Week.
For So weeks In the year q
newspaper spends its energy and
its space in promoting first one
cause then another for the bene-
fit of the public in addition to
lending its columns to presenta-
tions Of those vital things in life
such as births, weddings, deaths
disasters of all kinds and other
items which are or should be OF
interest to the people OF the area
in which the paper circulates.
A newspaper usually is pretty
representative Of the community
in which it is located and circul-
ates . for a newspaper thrives
and prospers on community sup
port. When you see a paper
filled with advertisements and
lively news items you usually can
tell it's published in a good busi-
ness town.
Quite often you find a better
newspaper than the town it's
printed in-but very seldom dc
YOU find a town much better than
its newspaper.
At this particular week OF the
year we always like to express
our personal appreciation for the
many kindnesses extended us by
our thousands of readers IN
Holmes county.
We have today the largest cir.
culation in the liz years OF his
tory of the Advertiser and we ge'
lots of bouquets to offset thu
brickbats some of you throw.
When / get in low cotton ant
have a feeling Of disappointment
that / have not been able to &C
complish nearly as much as X
like / always console myself b,
thinking that, after all, ! am onl.
here for a short while and thu
sum total of any contribution
can make is small indeed whel
considered over a span OF time. .
and believe it or not, ! don't TAX
myself too seriously.
At any rate this newspaper an
its personnel are here to serve thi
community and Holmes county I
the best of our ability. We hav
always tried to do this in tn
past and we expect to ccntinu
this policy.
Any time you know a way W
can serve this community or coun
ty-if we IN not already doinI
so-we would appreciate YOU
calling it to our attention.
