ACAPULCO,

There are narrow streets and
dockside buildings in this old
Mexico port that the Spanish
conquerors who scanned the
horizon for the galleons from
Manila might still recognize if
they could return.
But the beach and abrupt
cliffs above the bay have been
turned into a cleaning Ell Dorado
far beyond their inventive i'm
aginations. Acapulco today is
one of the worlds great modern
resorts.
The little Pacific ports basic
assets were there in Colonial days
too, of course. There were al
ways the warm, scented air and
the cloudless blue sky in winter,
the tangled tropical undergrowth
spilling over the rugged noun
tainsides, and the turquoise bay
meeting the cobalt Pacific.
Now, though, there are large
modern hotels atop the hills.
Schools of speedboats and sailing
craft swarm out to the occasional
yacht anchored in the bay just
as wooden canoes once clustered
about the flat-beamed galleons.
New Hotels A-BuiIdine
Two new luxury hotels are
being built, and are expected to
be ready next year. The Hilton
Hotel will be at Ell Farallon and
the Pierre MARQUEE at the still
empty beach of Puerto Marquez,
a few miles from Acapulco itself.
Already. however. Acapulco
has six de luxe hotels, one on the
beach, one inside the bay, one on
the headland and the three
others perched on the cliffs to
catch the breezes from the open
sea. There Is little difference
among them in quality or in
price.
There are also a dozen smaller
hotels, as well appointed as the
large ones, which charge from
! $40 a day for two, with meals
Acapulco, in fact, is both a rich
mans and a strictly budgeted
travellers resort-you can rent

Bermuda Adds
Novel Charm
To Christmas
HAMILTON.

The spirit Of Christmas is the,
same in most Christian lands, yet
customs may differ. Bermuda,
a tiny British colony less than
900 miles of the American main
land, is e semitropical land where
people juggle a bit Of the Old
World Yule tradition and blend
1t with their own.
To many Americans, Christ
mas without snow might seem a
bit unreal. But there is the rush
OF last-minute shoppers, laden
with their Christmas bundles,
vending their way through the
conglomeration Of bicycles. car
riages. midget-Sized English cars
and pedestrians that compose
Bermuda's cosmopolitan traffic.
The unmistakable aroma of fir
Christmas trees displayed for
sale. the gay store windows. the
bright-eyed children all seem
familiar: then as the light fails
and darkness arrives, Front
Street, bordering Hamilton Har-
Dor. is transformed into a fairy
land Of dancing colored lights
strung through the trees on
either side Of the street.
White. but Not Snow
There is a dazzling whiteness,
not of snow, but of cleaning
lime washed rooftopS, scattered
haphazardly over the hills bor-
dering the inlets and coves which
comprise Bermuda's s. sforeline.
The smoke from a cedar fire
drifts lazily from many a CHM
ney, which later on will play host
to Santa. The sound of disant
Christmas caroling and the
CHEEKY, but perhaps slightly Brit
ish accented Merry Christmas"
make you realize that, for all the
difference, there is a sameness
about Christmas which is world
wide.
Groups Of carolers spread the
Christmas message the length
| and breath of the islands, many
arriving at church as the bells
chime midnight, to take part in
the age-old services. Christmas
morning again finds Bermudians
and visitors alike heading for
their respective churches.
| Hurrying home from church,
thoughts turn to that huge
Christmas dinner which has been
in preparation for several days.
Turkeys, hams, chickens and
huge dishes of Cassava pie are
the bill of fare, with non -Ber-
mudian's interest Immediately
being aroused BY the seemingly
endless number Of succulent in
gradients which constitute this
traditional Christmas dish here.
Parties at Hotels
Several OF the hotels are
planning gala parties for their
guests. The Bermudiana Hotel,
just outside of Hamilton, will
again stage the lighting Of the
Yule log. an impressive ceremony
that has been practiced for CEN
turies in England and Scotland.

woes Of the past year. Is cast on

Recent estimates are that an
average Of 10000. people visit the
Farmers Market every day OF
the year-not counting Sundays
and come away comparing it
to a Partisan sidewalk cafe, an
Oriental bazaar and a church
social, all rolled into one.

the assembled company join in
carol singing. Nest of the
colony's so hotels and guest
houses will entertain with egg
nog parties.
In Bermuda. as in other parts
Of the British commonwealth,
the day after Christmas is
known as Boxing Day, and is.
celebrated as a public holiday.
It's name goes back to the middle
ages, when the mobiles of Eng
land would ''box" quantities of
food left over from their own
feasts and distribute it to their
serfs and peasants. Now it is
lprimarily a day of rest. after the
exertions of Christmas, but not
in Bermuda.
Doncers Take Over
The rhythmic beat of drums
announce that the colorful Com
bey dancers have taken to the
streets and are ready to perform
wherever crowd may gather.
Their multi-colored costumes
are embroidered with small mir
rors and beads. Their 4-foot-
tall peacock feathered head dress
sways to and the ancient and
primitive dance routines they
perform.
Christmas time is also the
season for many floral displays
which enliven the countryside
with splashes Of brilliant color.
The crimson poinsettia can be
seen in nearly every garden and
is used with great effect to deco
rate churches. homes and shops.
Also evident in profusion are
many varieties of winter roses,
violets and hibiscus hedgerows of
many hues. These are natural
contributions to ornament the
Yule season.
With temperatures in the high
SOS or low 70's, the outdoor lover
will find q host of sporting ac-
tivitieS in full swing.

The evenings in Acapulco are
as balmy as the days, and SWIM

dozen night clubs, informal,
candle-lit and cool, where the
visitor can turn to more
sophisticated amusements.

Our Health

Continued From Page One)
The Ava Brick Co, The Caldwell
Produce Co., The Permian Oil &
Gas Co., and Cozier Container
Corp, have given Noble county
a tremendous lift in tax revenue.
Look back and see the scope
of operations performed by these
companies in Noble county just
eight years ago!
1t is true many communities
have taken advantage of their
industrial growth and the
communities social and cultural
both have developed thru its
environment. Here in Noble
county we have failed to
capitalize ON this phase of our
growth, and as a result, we are
lacking i'm facilities to ade-
quately and capabiy continue
to promote this potential for
our future development.
1t is an established fact, that
the corporations and utilities
will pay for one-third of the cost
of the proposed hospital. In
other words, they will pay over
100000 over a period of 20
years, with the largest utility in
the county sharing practically
one-half of the above amount.
Never before have these con-
ditions existed in Noble county.
Therein lies the reason for our
inability to have and to share
the many advantages of many
neighboring counties we
lacked the means to do with.
They're a part of our county and
they certainly will extend a
favorable response in our
endeavor to make Noble county
a better place in which to live.
The county is free from any
bonded indebtedness and its fl
nancial structure is regarded as
one of the finest in the entire
state of Ohio 1t is not feasible
then to assume the answer is
YES" to build a hospital
in Noble county without over
burdening its citizens.
The most it would cost the
average Individual real estate
taxpayer in Noble county would
be $500 per year. The average
taxpayer pays ON a property
valuation of $4,000. Naturally
there are some who pay more
but the majority will pay less
than the $4,000.

Ground Cover Helps To
Stop SuhilOOr Decay

Decay Of the sills, joists and
other wood in the subfloors of
houses without Easements can be
prevented by a soil cover. A IL
year u. S. Department Of Agri-
culture study of basementless
houses in wartime housing pro-
jects showed that covers laid on
wet soil under a house, acts as a
barrier against moisture rising
from the soil.
The cover may be asphalt coat
ed paper such as roll roofing,
laminated papers with water
proofing material, or thin metal
foils. All are inexpensive.
The researchers found that
such a covering keeps the mois-
ture content of sills, joists and
other subfloor wood well below
the 20 to 25 percent commonly
regarded as the safety limit in
preventing decay by fungi. 1t
doesn't need to be Tapped, Gem
ented or fastened down; nor does
the soil have to be level. The
study showed that where wet
soil under houses without base
ments was not covered, the mois-
ture content of subfloors often
was we'll above 20 to 25 percent.
The moisture comes from vapor
condensing on the wood during
cold weather.
When the wood stays wet,
fungi attack it and ultimately
cause decay and possibly struc-
tural failure.
The moisture in soil beneath
houses can be lowered by proper
grading around the house and by
use of cutters and downspouts to
carry rain water away from
foundations.
1t is recommended that the
crawl space beneath a house (the
space between the joists and the
soiD be at least Is inches. This
allows room enough for laying
a soil cover after a house is built
Ii such becomes necessary.

BrookfieId Council
To Show Free Film

The Brookfield Farm Bureau
Council will show a winning
film, THE American Road" on
Friday, Oct. %, at the home
of Herbert R. Blackburn, near
Cumberland. It will begin at
$3.50 p. m.
The l6mm sound-color docu-
mentary film, produced by Ford
Motor Company, tells of Amer
ica's growth over q 50-year span
and how the development Of
transportation has influenced
national life, the way of doing
business, and the methods of
communication. The 40-minute
film is blending of newsreel
and documentary scenes taken
from the turn of the century
until the present.
THE American Road" has re-
Gently won documentary film
awards from The American Film
Council, Freedoms Foundation,
and Scholastic Magazine. 1t also
was selected for showing at the
Edinburg (Scotland) Film Festi-
val, the top film showing in the
world.

for the New York Life Insur-
ance Co., is president of the

and on basis of $3.50 per $1,000
of valuation, establish the
amount Of additional tax you
will pay toward the construction
of the proposed hospital for
Noble county. Then compare it
with the benefits to be derived
generally speaking, the cost
of one visit to a neighboring
hospital will be the total of your
tax obligation for one year.
The cost for value received in
improved health facilities it
hardly comparable.
Regarding the maintenance Of
this hospital after construction,
one would have to prove first
that it would not be self-support-
ing. With the area and popula-
ton that the hospital would
service, and with good admins
tration, it is possible to operate
successfully.
Let's take for granted that the
hospital would need some assis-
tance in maintaining itself. The
law specifically states that only
.65 of mill can be levied for
this purpose. We know that in
Morrow county, a 54-bed hos
pital built in 1851, is operating
safely on this margin. The hos
pital in Holmes county, a 32-bed
hospital, is operating only
periodically on a so mill levy.
There are years the levy is non
existing because the hospital
administration does not require
it. 1t is common knowledge that
hospitals are self-supporting
where good administration pre-
walls.
Just for the record, let's ask
this question, who will pay the
interest on the $500,000 bond
issue? The answer: The entire
cost of the construction, includ-
ing the interest on the $500,000,
is incorporated in the 1.6 mills.
This was figured by your county
auditor in order to establish the
correct millage and time limit
of the bonds. There will be no
other costs involved other than
the l.6 mills, and this will be
lowered if construction costs are
carefully studied by your ap-
pointed board of construction.
Will you agree that to i'm
prove your health facilities
means stating your community
with more doctors means

gency arises . means you
