Charles Wooster, and many other
men Of this country shared In
the early events and develop
ments Of the South American ma
ton. Chileans have been con-
spicuous in the history of several
of our States, particularly in the
early development of California
During the gold rush some 10000
persons from Chile went to the
West Coast and most Of them
stayed. The streets of various
California cities and towns bear
the names of immigrants from
Antofagasta, Valparaiso and other
cities of the southern republic.

co was originally called Chile
cito, or Little Chile.
But aside from history, each
nation now plays a vital part in
the economic life of the other.
A large portion of our agricul-
tural production is dependent
upon nitrate Of soda. the Chilean
fertilizer. Chile is second only
to the United States in produc-
tion Of copper. During the war
Chile's entire output of copper
and the major portion of the
nitrate production came to this
country. United States capital
dominates both industries, the
main sources of Chilean revenue.
Suggesting the confidence of
foreign and particularly United
States investors in the continued
progress of the country, the Chile
Exploration Co., a subsidiary of
the Anaconda Copper Co., is at
this moment engaged in a multi
million-dollar expansion program

ization of its Chuquicamata plant.
largest in the world. At the same
time the nitrate people, the Gug-
genheims, are installing an en-
tirely new and revolutionary
process for the extraction of
nitrate from the ores. They are
substituting solar evaporation for
the chemical process employed
over the past quarter of a century.
War Boom for Copper
The outlook for large scale sales
of nitrate. both in this and other
countries is good. Chilean nitrate
has found a profitable market in
Europe under the Marshall Plan
and will continue to sell there even
after the Marshall Plan is aban-
doned. But the prospect for cop
per is not quite SO bright. Under
ordinary conditions Chilean cop
per must compete with copper
from other parts of the world. In
this country before the war it
not only had to compete with
native copper, but there was a
tariff against it, therefore it was
necessary to find markets else
where. When war came our own
supplies were inadequate. Other
sources were cut off. The Govern
ment took over the purchase of
copper and other metals and
bought the entire Chilean o,1tnl,t

hold - children, grandchildren,

last Christmas was a two-fold
affair. The first celebration was
on December 18.
The reason for the dual cele-

the usual group Of over forty
that gather at the Weaver resi-
dence on the Durham road for
Christmas were to leave to join
in-laws. Rather than have no
big gathering at all, it was de-
cided TO have all come in a week
early to preserve as much as
possible of the annual reunion.
The day set for the first cele-
