COUNTY Fun NEWS 12 Wednesday, December 1, 1943 AMAZING SIGHT OF VOLCANO MIDST FIELD OF CORN TOLD Redlands Visitor to Mexico Returns With Belief Vast Market Exists to South An eye-witness account of the amazing volcano of Paricutin, Mexico, that suddenly burst forth from the midst of a cornfield last February, is being given Redlands friends by J. A. (Bert) Marks of Park avenue, just returned from several weeks in the southern republic. "The volcano is easily reached from Mexico City by car or rail by way of Uruapan," he said. SHORT DISTANCE "From Uruapan it is a short disiance to San Juan Parangaricutiro and then by mule or horse to a hill which affords a good view of what is said to be the only volcano in the world in continuous eruption.

The heat keeps spectators at a safe distance. While it is a striking sight during the day it is amazingly impressive at night. There seems no tendency for the volcano to abate its force since it first broke through the surface last February." Most of the people Mr. Marks talked with in Mexico appeared sympathetic with the allied cause in the war. "From Vera Cruz on the Atlantic to Acapulco on the Pacific all responsible Mexicans are proud of the fact that they are shipping us much war material," he said.

"I was fortunate while in the capital to have dinner with an official of the Mexican railway. Typical of the general feeing he said, 'Before the war we of the Mexican railway were proud that the Mexico City to Vera Cruz trains were always on time. Now we are more proud that they are late, due to increased shipments of supplies essential to the war SEES GOOD MARKET Mexico will prove an excellent market for the United States after the war, Mr. Marks believes. "It seems to me we will have a vast market after the war south the border.

There are 000,000 people in the 20 Latin American countries. They have (shipped us more raw materials we have been able to return in finished goods. Consequently, they have built up a surplus of dollar exchange. This, coupled with the fact that education is rapidly developing a higher standard of It living should should mean to a ease good the market. prob- serve lem of unemployment in the war era."
