The Rotary Balita no. 669 (April 19, 1951).

Have you bought your sweepstakes tickets? If you have not, it is not the fault of the numerous vendors who pester you everyday and everywhere. You become vexed at their persistence and at their impudence in monopolizing the crowded and already inadequate sidewalks. In that respect they are no worse than the shoe-shine boys and other peddlers who block your way whenever you try to enter the stores of established merchants. You perhaps sympathize with all those annoyances believing that by that means they are earning their living, and perhaps help to support their families, just like the jeep drivers and cocheros whose rudeness is equally annoying. The cigarette vendors and newsboys dodging around in the heavy traffic in their eagerness to make sales appear no less to endanger their lives than troublesome to auto drivers. Watch-your-car, and wash-your-car boys are also numerous; but perhaps it is better to have them hustling around on the streets, than to be interned at Welfareville, Boys Town, or, even worse, out in the bar with the Huks.
