Crowd Jami New Pay Lew Store The picture at top
shows part of the crowd that jammed turnstiles and con
gested aisles when the new Pay Less drug store opened
Friday. Browsing housewives found the household depart
ment (center picture) especially interesting. Shown below,
first-aid supplies. The two lower pictures were made before
arrival of the crowd.
You could get into the new
Pay Less drug store when it
opened for business at 9 o'clock
Friday morning if you were pa
tient. If you were athletic, all
the better.
But to get out you had to have
guidance.
It was that crowded. When the
doors in the Oregon building,
location of the store, were open
ed at 9 a.m. a large crowd was
already waiting on the State
street sidewalk.
They poured In when the doors
were opened, jamming the turn
stiles and congesting the aisles.
But they were well taken care
of by the store's personnel.
"This store," said Manaeer
Lee Coleman, "it a place where
people will like to come and
browse. We think we have set
up a store here that will help
bniem and help the other busi
nesses. We are going to do our
part to keep shopping In Salem,
But the people who thronged
the store Friday were doing a
lot more than browse. Those
cash registers were busy all the
time.
New Mexico Town Shrinks
Under Drought Devastation

over the worn counter and pointed across the road to a dry
stream bed.
"See those four pine trees?" he asked. "See how they've died
frnm not eettin' any water? I've lived here 30 years now, and
1 never sawr mav uciuic.
This mountain hamlet is near
ly out on its feet, and the few
folks still hanging on know it.
It's the drought. Dow esti
mates Chilili, located 39 miles
southeast of Albuquerque, is
only one-third its former size.
And it's not just this commun
ity which is against the ropes.
Farmers over a wide area in the
Estancia Valley of the Manzano
mountains are having it tough.
Dow thinks 50 per cent of the
residents hereabouts have moved
away in the last few years.
"This isn't the first time we've
had dry weather," the store
keeper explains. "A lot of folks
have just been squeezing by for
the last seven or eight years. It s
tough to make a living around
here."
Only 47 families are left.
There were 104 families here
six months ago. Another 67
families found things too rugged
and pulled out, mostly for larger
towns and cities, during the last
eight years.
'The Albuquerque garbage de
partment has a lot of our men
now, Dow remarkea. "Most oi
the others are working off and
on. Only about half a dozen don t
have any work at all."
Like its neighbors, this Is a
farming community. Most of the
people are Spanish-American.
There are two stores, a gas sta
tion and a school. That's about
all. Except for some empty stone
houses.
'We had only about an inch
or two of snow all last winter,"
the storekeeper said. "The first
rain we got was on July 6. Since
then we've had six or seven
good showers, they were too late,
though."
Some farmers are going ahead
and planting row crops now.
They don't dare put in pinto
beans, their mainstay, because
autumn frosts come early in these
parts.
Help has been promised bv
the state welfare department.
Food from the federal farm sur
plus program will be distributed
next week.
"The folks who are left talk
a lot of moving to town," Dow
said. "I don't know what I'll do
If they all leave. Guess I'll pro
bably just stay another 30 years
and make out as best I can."
