I AM A (jANbfijATE FOR THE IMPORTANT

and he told of some of his
experiences.
“Not only do we inspect
collections that are transport
ed across the border of Mexi
co, Canada and other places,
but we examine and appraise
all imports,” he said. “We
perform laboratory tests on
contents of different products
to see that all is there that is
stated on the label.”
One big problem is the
smuggling of narcotics, opium
and heroin. Since poppies are
grown in .Mexico, and easy to
obtain, the task of enforcing
the law against bringing the
stuff into the country is a
difficult one. Another prob
lem is watch movements be
ing shipped from Switzerland,
put into other cases to escape
the payment of duty.
Visitors for the meeting
were Max Daniels, Ken Pan
ton, Joe Farmer and Mrs-
Langford.
