The Best Time To Go
Ask George Billingsly, hos
pitable, goateed manager of
Taxco’s Hotel de la Borda,
when the best time is to vis
it Mexico and he’ll' tell you
“Anytime is good time, but
I think I’d pick November if
I had to make a choice.”
In. the fall the rains have
ceased and the vegetation is
lush. All of Mexico becomes
a tropical wonderland of gre
en valleys presided over by
snow-capped mountains.
The hotel here is as inter
esting, historically, as it is
comfortable withimodem con
veniences and excellent food.
It is located on top of a hill
from which more silver has
been taken than from apy
other mine in the world. It
overlooks the city of Taxco,
100 miles southwest of Mexi
co City
Jose de la Borda was a Fr
enchman who discovered the
rich silver lode more than
200 years ago. It has been
mined continually since then
Nobody knows how many
million pesos worth of sil
ver_has been taken from the
mine.
State-Wide Livestock
Market 'Posting' is
Launched by Ag Dept.
On July 1, members of the XL S. Department of Agri
culture responsible for enforcing the Packers and Stock
yards Act, began a state-wide “posting” program in the
Stkte of Pennsylvania,
Posting of a livestock mar
ket by the USDA gives no
tice to the owners and to the
public that the market is sub
ject to the jurisdiction of the
Packers and Stockyards Act.
The P&S Act is a fair busi
ness practice law applicable
to those engaged in handling
or marketing livestock, mea
ts. and live poultry moving
m> interstate commerce.
The state-wide posting pro
gram announced today is the
result of expanded jurisdic
tion under the law prescri
bed in an amendment passed
by the last session of Cong
ress.
Prior to that time, livesto
ck auction markets having
less, than 20,000 square feet
of space were not subject to
the-'P&S Act.

market operators are being
asked to cooperate by filling

Packers and Stockyards Br
anch, Livestock Division, Ag
ncultural Marketing Service
USDA, with necessary infor
mation.
When a market is posted,
the operator will then be re
quired within 30 days to re
gister with the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, file a bn
nd based on the volume of
his business, and to file a sch
edule of his rates and char
ges for all services.
Silver City
Taxco (pronounced Tasco)
is in many ways a silver city.
Silver built its lovely red
tile roofed homes and the
gold and silver decorated
Santa Prisca church, one of
the most magmficient in all
of Mexico.
Silver not only is mined
here, but is refined and for
med into beautiful jewelry
by some of the finest silver
smiths in the world. Their
craftsmanship attracts tour
'ists ami other buyers from
many nations.
