Balboa Was Prominent Red Haired SpaDiard
Hel ped Greatly To Make American Maps Useful

~ LBOA was a prominent. red
haired Spaniard who made liv-
- ing by discovering places which
were not on any map. Several hundred
years ago our maps were practically
useless to the tourist who wanted 30
make a trip around the world They
did not show the automobile roads
or the best hotels and could not be
relied upon for any length of time,
for no sooner would somebody issue
a new map IN three colors than It
would be necessary to add a few
hemispheres or a couple of saltwater
oceans that had been overlooked. As
a result, nearly all OF the mapmakers
of that period died in extreme pow
erty with a puzzled and chagrined
look
Balboa was q very successful dis
coverer. Everything he ever discov-
cred remained where he found it. His
greatest and most unexpected discovery
was the Pacific Ocean. which he seized
In the name Of Spain by walking out
In Il UP to his chin in a dark blue
flannel shirt. For a long time after
this thoughtful act on the part Of Bal
boa Spain treated the Pacific Ocean
as II IL were her meat, but for sew
eral years past she has been paralyzed
In both hips and has not been able to
get out much.
