Editors Note: Roger Woods. son of Mir. and Mrs. Glen Woods of Palmer has been sending in- teresting. informative letters 10 his parents pertaining 10 his visit ali Ecuador as an International Farm Youth Exchange delegate. From time to time. parts of these ietters will be printed in The Frontiersman through the cour- tesy of MT. and Mrs. Woods. Fol lowirq is the third installment. JUNE 2s
 The flight from Guayaquil was made in a small TOUT place plane. Soon after we left Guayaqul, wh.ch is in the delta-land of sev- eral rivers, we flew over a noun tainous region. We never flew higher than 2,100 feet-the noun tains were low,-but I've never seen such rough country; not even in Alaska! The ridges are as sharp as razors, and have very steep slopes.
 In Portoviejo the citizens are very proud of their stop-lights. They point out that theirs IS a small town, and that the great city of Guayaquil does not have them. In Guayaquil the people drive like crazy, blowing their horn before entering each inter- section as we'll as at anything that looks like it might step into the street.
 In Ecuador beggars must get a license for their profession!
 On the 18th of June, today, came to Santalna, riding on ben ches in the back of pickup truck with II girls. They were selling votes in a queen contest They sang all their Spanish songs | for me including their love songs TO mel But then they are only fifteen years old. The people here have song for their province each of their cities, and several for their country. They are very happy people, who love to laugf and sing. One of the girls is very pretty-the others-all the way from so-so to extra homely. Dor Paulo, who is the agricultural en gineer in Portovieji, and who l: E1planning my two-months stay 1T Manabi, teased me about having so many sweethearts; Pm afraid I got bit red. The language anc cusoms here aren't quite familiar enough for me to tease back Later on, the girls got hold O my note book and read the notes I had written in which I men toned the pretty one. They have learned enough English in schoo to figure it out. They asked mt if I would take her as "novia' (sweetheart) and when said no they asked why. Holy COW, she only Is years old! But how coult I give that as reason to bunch of Is year old girls who al ready have novios? So just saiC no. Of course, then they began t make up reasons. They sad tha her present sweetheart is yer strong, asked if I had girl il Alaska, etc.
 We went to see the town c Manta this afternoon; it is pretty town on the seacoast c

2024 East Forest Drive, Macarthur
Park, Sandusky, was the first at
East Harbor Park since the huge
acreage was opened to the public
five years ago.
Dick and IA other boys and girls
had been brought to the park by
Salvation Army 1t and Mrs. Victor
Doughty on picnic outing for the
Salvation Army Teen-Agers Club.
When the group arrived at the
park at 4:45 Thursday, 1t. Doughty
told the children to change into
swimming suits, Deputy Sheriff
William Cullen stated.
While Doughty went to a refresh
ment stand to purchase pop for
the group, the children went swim
ming in Lake Erie. When they
were in four feet of water, huge
wave hit the group and knocked
Dick under water.
The other children raced to
shore and shouted that their com
panion was in trouble but other
children and adults nearby thought
they were joking. When 1t.
Doughty returned, search was
started for the missing boy but his
body floated up near shore within
Is minutes after the wave hit.
Port Clinton High School teacher
Richard Stuckey, employed as a
guard at the park, waded into the
water and pulled the boy to shore.
Artificial respiration was started
Immediately by Stuckey and va
cationing policeman from Canton.
A resuscitator kept at the park
was used on the boy until the Port
Clinton Fire Department rescue
squad arrived with its resuscitator.
Tom Kerr, Ed Gates, Jack Riddle
and Earl LeVeck of the rescue
squad worked on the boy half
hour until he was placed in Nei-
decker'S ambulance and taken to
Magruder Hospital. Dick was under
the resuscitator during the ambu-
lance ride. The futile attempt 10
save his life was continued at the
hospital but he was finally pro-
nounced dead.
