Concerning your Health
Health certificates" 1t says in
the book, must be issued by q
physician. The follow
ing form is generally found to be
acceptable:
This is to certify that
M OF -
(addresS) -- has been
examined by me and found to
be in good physical and sound
mental condition. He (she) Is
not suffering from any con-
tagious. chronic or incurable
diseases Of pernicious character.
He (she) is also free from
trachoma and has been vacci-
mated for smallpox within the
past ------ years.
Unless you've had it done within
recent years and can present q
certificate to prove it, that vacci-
nation isn't a bad idea-for more
than one reason. The United
States has some red tape OF its
own, and Federal authorities won't
let you get back home without
some evidence of 1t.

According to a number OF travel
connoisseurs, now is the time to
visit Peru, particularly on the out
skirts of the "City Of Kings" vir-
tually all Of Peru itself
its atmosphere, history. sports
and people. its products, folklore
and fashions. Within the last day
or two the gates have been opened
on a cross-section Of the Land OF
the Incas," just S minutes by car
from the leading hotels.
From now until November II,
the Gran Feria Nacional (dreat
National Fair) gives Lima good
cause for a continuing fiesta.
Besides, says Francisco j. Herman
dez, new tourist hotels, In Lima,
ideal spring weather with never
a rainy day. and q favorable rate
of exchange combine to give the
tourist one of the biggest buys Tor
his travel dollar now available.
Mr.. Hernandez is qualified to
become lyric about the fair. AS
chief of the travel division OF the
Pan American Union. he presents
this gala tourism event as a rather
fascinating excuse for q junket.
Another expert adding some de-
tails is Bill Clemmens, q more
or less mythical character who
flies around on Pan American
Grace Airways planes and sends
back breezy accounts Of South
American doings to prospective
travellers.
Window -shopping-One OF the
outstanding attractions catching
the tourist eye will be the pavil-
lions where typical products OF
the country are on display.
OF special interest. Mr.. Herman
dez points out. are the large and
colorful array Of hand-woven tex
tiles from the Indian villages OF
the Andes, including rugs, pom
chos, dress fabrics, bags and belts;
fine leather goods from Arequipa.
a variety Of silver objects, ranging
from trinkets to candelabras and
table settings; exquisite handwov-
en- straw pieces from the north
and exotic handicrafts from the
far-o6 Amazonian selva.
Such wares as these are dis
played for q twofold purpose: To
show Peruvians themselves the
skill and artistry inherent to the
country and to suggest to al that
they buy. Most American travel
ers know now that, provided they
are outside the country two weeks,
they can return with approxi-
mately s400 worth Of purchases,
duty-free.

tral stage Of the fair is the Campo
de Marie. = broad parade ground
near the Lawn Tennis Club. Sup
plementing this, according to Mr..
Hernandez description, is the
Coliseo de Toros, where the bull
fighting season will be in full
swing; the San Felipe Race Track.
the Municipal Theater, the Ma
tional Stadium and the Municipal
Palace of Lima.
The fair. organized by the Peru
Wan National Tourist Corp. has
been designed to appeal to all
ages and tastes. OF significance
will be an impressive religious pro-
cession in homage to the Lord of
Miracles on October 20.
Bill Clemmens gives this bit Of
background: This colorful re-
ligious pageant dates back to 1851.
when q figure Of Christ was paint
ed on an orchard wall by a Negro
slave. Since then, many miracles
have been attributed to the paint
ing, which today is enshrined on
the altar Of the Church Of the
Nazarenes."
Other Events-With the fiesta
spirit springing from every heart,
the picturesque colonial sections
Of the city will stage diversions
typical of creole days. The Pan
American Unions travel division
outlines some interesting attrac-
tions:
Balls and other social events
will be climaxed by the crowning
of q beauty queen Of the Americas.
OF unique interest to tourists will
be the national contests In folk
music and dancing. in which
picked regional groups from all
parts Of the country will partici-
pate; also the Noche Peruana. fea-
turing q program OF popular en-
tertainment.
The latter events will afford Wis
itors q rare opportunity to see
traditional costumes from remote
regions. displayed only on special
occasions; to watch typical ma
tional dances, such as the popular
marinera of the coast. and to hear
the inimitable conjuntos. small
bands Of musicians who sing popu-
lar ballads to the accompaniment
Of guitars and native instruments.
About Prices-In his typical
style, Panagra's Clemmens intro
duces his comment on prices by
saying: "And English-speaking
guides will be provided at no extra
cost, to make sure gringo rubber
neckers know what it's all about
and thoroughly enjoy themselves"
He adds: This shouldn't be
hard with the help Of the informa-
ton sheet prepared by the tourism
corporation and at the existing
prices-lower even than last years.
Currency exchange is about 20 to
/, which means you get 20 soles
for one dollar.
"At these rates. q room at the
best hotel comes to $3 q day,
luncheon Or dinner at the best
restaurant shouldn't be more than
$3.50, cab fare comes to about 20
cents on the average. Peruvian
cigarettes are . dime. q ticket to

and diversions for their guests
and tourists during the fair"

Red Tape-But going to Lima is
more than just boarding a ship,
jumping on a plane. There is some
red tape to cut through. q hold
over from the days before tourist
minded countries began knocking
away little obstacles that have
been found to annoy Americans
and keep free flowing tourist dol
lars out.
Several Latin American repub-
lies do not require United States
citizens to obtain passports or
visas. Instead land we quote
from a 1949 list Of requirements
for entering those countries) they
issue "a simple tourist card which
can be obtained from the nearest
consul Of the country in question
upon presentation Of a birth Ger
tif1cate or similar documentary
proof Of citizenship. In the case
of some countries. the transporta-
ton company is authorized to
grant tourist or landing cards"
Police Must Approve - There
is a step to take before the visa
can be obtained from the Peruvian
Embassy at 1890 Sixteenth street
NV. First, District residents
have to get from the Metropolitan
Police Department q certificate
saying they're okay.
Here's what the police author

YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD
If you have a social security card,
the Social Security Administration
is keeping an individual record of
your earnings in big central Of
flee at Baltimore, Maryland.
When you work under social Sc
curity your employer sends in each
three months report of your earn
ings, and gives your name and So
cial security account number, as
you gave it to him. These reports
go finally to the Social Security Ad-
ministration office at Baltimore,
where they are posted to the indi-
vidual records.
There are more than 900
social security accounts in Balti-
more. No one can keep your record
straight unless you do your part.
You must see that your employer
has your name and social security
account number just as they appear
on your social security card.
You should have only one social
security account. If you lose your
card, get a duplicate with the same
number. If you change your name,
be sure to notify the Social Security
A so your record can
be corrected.
If you want to know how much
your social security account shows,
you may have statement once
each year. Mistakes in social secu-
rity records usually cannot be cor
rected after four years.
This is the seventh in a series of
articles on your Social Security. In

American Naturalist, owner of a
large experiment farm at Santa
Rosa, Cal. He has succeeded in pro-
ducing many new and valuable
forms of flowers, fruits, nuts, veg
etables, grasses and trees. Among
the flowers he secured brilliant
crimson poppy from yellow one,
and he has made the verbena take
on the fragrance of the trailing ar
butus. He has hardened trees till
they are able to withstand colder
climates and he has trained fruit
trees till their buds and blossoms
are immune against frost. He made
the cactus give up its thorns and
produce luscious, wholesome fruit.
He has raised blackberry bushes
without stickers. His achievements
were chiefly the result of cross
pollination of many thousands of
plants year after year, and the Sc
lection of the very few that give
prospects of producing valuable re-
suits.
