oIu tIIenu OG the family, Senor Santos. We stayed Saturday night and returned Sunday night. What a party time! Never saw people consume so much Scotch before! Inc Arteagas are one of the few families here it seems, who don't drink, and since l was with them, I wasn't obligated to drink every toast that was called.
 Bahia is a town about 50 miles north of here on the coast. It is just few miles south of the equator. We went in the family caro-" which is a truck with seats like bus and open on the sides. The road is probably the worst l ever had the misfortune to ride over in a truck. For the first 30 miles or so it winds through the mountains; in places it is little more than a deeply rut- ted path. Then it hits the beach for the next 20 miles into Bahia. The beach is just like highway, only better. You have the moon shining on the breakers and the cliffs . it's really quite beau tiful.
 Met one good looking guy by the name of Torres, who is the typical latin-American, I think. Loves nothing more than to sit and drink and wait for the next laugh. He is friendly, and yet re- served. He is the guy who plays the lead in any movie you may see with a American star.
 Had my first lesson in mambo. It's quite a dance 1 can get along with it now, but hope to be able to dance it well someday. Did I tell you I learned to jitterbug in D. C.?
 Don Noel asked his little three year old daughter Eleanor what my name was. She said "Gringo,' J and we all had a good laugh. Fortunately, the word does not have the unpleasant connotation here that it does in some parts. All North Americans are grin gos' here.
 Incidentally, air-mail postage to South America is dime.
 On the 23rd of June, Stan Goody, Senor Ex Franco, a prof from the U. of Quayaquil, three of his students, whose names are Pepe-Luche, PapaChola (nick- name) and Gonzalo, and I went to Milagro. Milagro is a small town about B miles from Quay aquil. Pm afraid you won't be- lieve me when I tell you about them paving the streets with mo- lasses there! They have a refinery , there for sugar, and at this time of year they have no market fol their product, so they sprinkle ii on the streets with a regular oil sprinkler truck. Then too, the owner of the refinery is the may or of the town, which may have something to do with it.
 Anyway we left Guayaquil al 6 am. and went by ferry to Dur an, which is a little town just across the river from Guayquil where the railway ends. We boarded the train for Milagro at Duran. The people here love to get on a moving vehicle. Many wait until the train is picking up speed before they get on they also ride on the top of the cars

for the love of it.
 At Milagro we visited the new agricultural branch of the U. of G. It is to be opened up next week. We "gringos' tasted for the first time papayas and the famous 'finger-bananas." Here the small finger bananas are called "guine- os do oro," and they are very good Can't say the papayas are though. Pepe-Lucha bought four pineapple (for about 12 cents a piece), of which we had three as dessert at lunch time. He intend ed to take the other to his mother in Guayaquil. The people here love jokes, consequently, when we were sitting in a little open front sidewalk cafe drinking beer or coke in the early afternoon, | papa-Chola sneaked the remain ing pineapple. The bartender cut it up and did a good job of serv- ing it, to the great surprise of Pope. Pope bought four more to take to his mother. He had to guard them well for the rest of the afternoon. We all hed m"nv laughs over those ''penas."
 The next day I left Guayaquil and flew north to Portoviejo, in the province of Manabi. The liter al translation of Portoviejo is "Old Port" Seems strange to have such a name, because it is several miles from the sea, and it is not located on a river! But therein lies story! Seems that several hundred hundred years ago, Portoviejo was town on the seacoast. Probably a pretty town at peace with the world. But then the infamous pirate, Morgan, came and anchored in the harbor. He pillaged the town and burned it. The people moved inland a ways, and a few years later the town was destroyed again. Once more the citizens moved fifteen miles inland to the present location, still retain ing the name of their city. Now if is 8 pretty town, at peace with the world.
 I couldn't began to mention all the farm crops here, but I will list few so you may see how extensive the variety is. They have peanuts, cotton, bananas, oranges. lemons, Times, sugarcane, rice, wheat, corn, cantaloupe, watermelon, (and many other types of melon) cocoa, coffee, CO., coanut, and all of the farm ami mals common to us. This is only in the central part of Manabi province. From what I have heard. l guess they raise every crop known to man, almost, in cl''ding ice-Worms on Mount Chimborazo, in the whole of Ecuador.
 Don Noel, and Don Angel had their cattle infected or drenrhed with Phepoticina, for tho cor"nc- tion of coccidiosis :. internal pa rasites Thov also infected the hooS with crystal violet against cholera.
 Tn the cocoanut palms the other day we found two trees infected by an insect called "huel- pa." After cutting out the female and killing of the large beetles, we smeared creosote over the area.
 Creosote seems to be univer- sal medicine. They poured some in hogs ear as a disinfectant.

 The people here don't under stand our climatic seasons. They have only two - the wet and the dry. The wet one is "inVierno" winter, and the dry "verno" summer. Or maybe I've got that backwards. At least, they plant in the dry season. (Most crops here take from g to Is months to mature. Bananas take l5, ca cao takes 8 or g, etc) (More about crops later. I told them we in Alaska planted in the sea- son when it rained and they thought I meant winter. Took some time explaining!
 I understand that the sun shines quite lot during the rainy season. It clouds up and rains like mad all of a sudden. They have 101 inches here so far this year and it hasn't rained since I've been here. They don't expect any more this year. They had 36 inches during the month of March. That's a lot of rain in anybody's country!
 The Ecuadorians who might be considered "middle-class' are interested in how much things cost in North America. They ask about cameras, cars, etc. It's bit hard to explain to them that all North American are not wealthy, after having answered their ques- tions about the number of cars in the States, etc. Most of them don't even have a burro.
 The Ecuadorian flag has three horizontal strips. The top one of yellow, the middle one of blue, and the bottom one of red. These colors signify the sky in brilliant sunshine, the sea, and the blood of the free people, respectively.
 I attended a meeting of a All club in Portoviejo. They are just now being started in Ecuador. This was their first or second meeting. There were eight boys about IT years old. They made me an honorary member and asked me to tell them about the clubs in the States which I did to the best of my limited ability.
 Guess that catches me up to- night, so Buenos noches, y hasta luego.

 Things are becoming quite com mon-place here now. Everything looks natural instead of new, but | that doesn't make it boring. I'm learning more all the time. And 1 having fun.
 Among other traits, these peo- pie are very considerate. For in stance, the first night at Santa Ana they gave me chamber pot to set beside my bed so l wouldn't have to go across the hall in case of necessity.
 Incidentally, you haven't lived if you've never heard an Ecua- dorian burro bray in the middle of the night! Talk of exploding the peace and quiet, WOW!

To the sacred memory of the
late Mr. Johnny Crawford W h o
passed May %, 1852.
The silent night is lonely and
There is no golden dawn
Because I must remember, love
That you are really gone.
I must remember in my heart
The happiness we knew
And that my only world was
one
In which I lived with you.
There is no breath Of fragrance
in
The flowers that I press
And if I call your name I hear
The sound of emptiness
I roam the house from room
to room
I gaze beyond the sea
But there is nothing I can do
To bring you back to me
have to tell myself again
That you are really gone
And I can only ask the Lord
For strength to carry on.

and to produce this food delight at

the addition Of natural fruit pectin,
