Hello. How you doin’? See you.
Sometimes the conversations in
iryan-College Station neighbor-
loods are much longer, sometimes
hey re shorter.
The reason? Well, most people say
ither they or their neighbors just
aoved in or that they plan to move
iut of the area soon. They didn’t
in p t ' r fo r , v lave a chance or don’t think it’s
' ^ rorth it to start a more permanent
jelationship.
As a result, there’s a chance of

THE MANOR EAST MALL sur
vey results hinted that area residents
would like to know each other bet
ter. Forty-four percent in Bryan, and
34 percent in College Station said
they’d like to exchange favors more
often. However, some respondents
who exchange favors several times a
week felt that was too often. The
majority of them lived in apart
ments.
The demand for local control and
returning power to the people in the
community may one day come to
Bryan-College Station. It will take an
activist to get things started; some
one who can devote the effort in get-
unity
ting transitory residents involved.
Next time, you might think about
being neighborly -— it may keep your
home safe and your streets paved.
FOR DECADES, successions of

Its the old way. And still
the best.
At Cuervo we know that there is only one way to make
Cuervo Gold perfect. The way we've been doing it for more
than 180 years.
That's why people still nurture our fields of Blue
Maguey plants. And why mules are still used to bring
these precious plants to our distillery. Fbr tradition is still
the most important ingredient in Cuervo Gold.
This is what makes Cuervo Gold truly special. Neat,
on the rocks, with a splash of soda, in a perfect Sunrise or
Margarita, Cuervo Gold will bring you back to a time when
quality ruled the world.
