In THe Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
One more detail on crossing
the border: Before heading into
Mexico for what will prove to
to be a fascinating experience
you'd better provide yourself
with a moderate supply of Mex
ican money.
You won't be sunk without it
as would be the case in almost
any other part of the world
j except Canada but it will come
in handy.
A MERICAN money is accepted
readily enough in Mexico,
but there are problems in the
way of change, especially if you
proffer as much as a SI 00 bill.
Besides prices are quoted in
terms of pesos, although they
are called dollars on the price
tags.
Anyway, it will be well to
begin to think in terms of pesos
as soon as you enter Mexico.
In any foreign country, it is
advisable to think in terms of
the money of the country.
In order to think in terms of
pesos, you need to carry pesos
in your pocket and pay your
bills with them.
Washington Home owners in
the United States have increased
71 per cent in number since 1940,
and from 1940 to 1950 the num
ber of renter-occupied units in
creased by only 5 per cent.
rpHE official rate of exchange
is 12 pesos for one Amer
ican dollar. Mexico's economy
is quite stable, and , the official
value of the peso and its acutal
value in trade in terms of
American dollars show very lit
tle variance.
One presently buys pesos in
Nogales at the rate of 12.4 to
the American dollar. There are
no bla'ck markets in Mexican
exchange. You buy your pesos
with complete confidence, un
worried by the thought that
maybe if you knew a better
place you might get a better
bargain. '
"JlTEXICAN money is simple and
easy to understand because,
like American money, it is based
on the decimal system. There
are 100 cents in an American
dollar. There are 100 centavos in
a Mexican peso.
The thing to remember is that
at present rates of exchange a
peso is worth eight American
cents. A centavo is therefore
worth one per cent of eight
American cents which is a small
er unit of value than an Amer
ican can imagine.
So, being an American, you
will come early to think of
centavos as xhicken feed that
isn't worth, considering. But it
does no harm to watch your
centavos in Mexico as you watch
your pennies in the U.S.A. One
accumlates quite a few of them
in the course of a day.
Besides, they are useful for
paying off the Mexican young
sters who descend on you in
swarms to shine your shoes. They
are such engaging little devils
that you can't help patronizing
them. As a result, your shoes
shine like an automobile head
light all the time.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVB
7"OUR first need will be to
establish a unit of value in
your own mind. If you're no
mathematical wizard and get all
snarled up every time you try
to multiply something by eight,
you will find it good enough
for all practical purposes to
think of a peso as a dime. If
you'll follow that rough and
ready system you'll get back in
change a little more than you
expect, which will keep you feel
ing happy. j
It's always wonderful to be
happy.
YTBEN you buy your money at
the border, you'll get the
bulk of it in 50-peso bills. When
you make your first stop say
at Hermosillo or Guaymas, if
you're coming in from Nogales
and are given the news as to
the cost of your motel or hotel
accommodations and find it will
take at least a 50-peso bill to
cover it you'll get a sinking feel
ing in the pit of your stomach.
This thought will cross your
mind: "Boy, at this rate I'll
have to hock the car about day
after tomorrow to get money
enough to go home on."
But when you count up on
your fingers that after all a 50
peso bill is only four bucks
you'll come back to life and the
sun will shine again. That's what
I mean by getting adjusted to
the new standard of money val
ues. 1
ALLi THIS, of course, leads
up. to the cost . of accommo
dations in Mexico. Of that, more
anon. Suffice it to say here that
balancing what you get against
what you pay you'll find the
cost of food and lodging here not
too greatly different from the
U.S.A. ' " '
The great flood of 1927 when
the Mississippi broke its levees
and spread over 20,000 square
miles caused extensive property
losses which 'wjere estimated to
be almost $300,000,000.
