Two letters regarding Arizona: DEAR BARBARA: We spent a month in Scottsdale, Ariz. this winter and are surprised that you didn't mestion the terrible air pollution. It's no place for people suffering from any chest ailments. Nearly every day of our stay, advisories were broadcast telling people to remain indoors if they suffered from asthma or any other chest disorders. Phoentx rates with the top 10 American cities with the worst alr pollution due to the tremendous amount of traffic and the fact that it's surrounded by hills. There's not enough wind to blow the smog away. ANSWER: I guess we were just lucky — the air was fine during our week in Phoenix and absolutely marvellous further south in Tombstone and Bisbee. [I don't have by Barbara McCreadie much use for big cities for more than a few days stay so I'd still heartily recommend both these Southern towns — especially to people with chest problems. We listened to the car radio every day during our stay (December 12-21) and didn’t hear any warnings. You can be sure that people you meet in tourist- related jobs aren't going to corner a travel writer and say,"Gosh, are you still breathing?” DEAR BARBARA: On our last visit to Phoenix we were taken to dinner at “Monti's”, a very and herbed buns. Six dollars. Large restaurant, ex- cellent service, no reser- vations but we only waited 15 minutes. ANSWER: Sorry I had to edit your letter for lack of space but appreciate the tip.

He was told that the quota for Argentina was filled and would remain that way until he was an old man. One reader disliked the whole thing as much as I did — but carried the matter even further. He photocopied the column and sent it to Em- ployment and Immigration Canada with a covering letter. Eventually, our govern- ment got around to replying. My reader wrote to me enclosing copies of the replies. Canada's immigration policies baffle me! As far as Pablo's future, it won't be Canada’s concern — he'll be taking his residency in France.
