Grand Forks is a town Of
about $4,000. It is located on
the Red River "a small stream
in a large farming area. The
climate is quite dry but gets
very cold in the winter.
Many houses are built, but
you will find them costly and
the rents are high. The stores
are good considering the size
of the town.
The Government is expected
to builda new airport about IL
miles from Grand Forks. I've
wondered if you folks might
be some of the personnel Of

on the Mantle Maria del Mar
Beach. We had been invited
to attend a luncheon there,
guests of the Havana Chap
ter of the Pan-American
Medical Association. 1t
turned out to be a party
called "Fiesta en- Cuba" to
terminate the medical meet
ings with a nice remem-
brance of the Cuban hos
pitality; and, to make closer
the relationship between the
physicians Of Cuba a n d
those Of North America.
The four course dinner was
followed by speeches, sing
ing and dancing. On our
way back to the ship, we
drove through Chinatown
and other old parts of Ha-
vana. The streets of Old
Havana were so narrow
that pedestrians had to step
in doorways to keep from
being run down. China
town there was like China
town here in New York and
other large cities except the
Chinese spoke Spanish as
well as their own language.
From there, we visited the
Colon Cemetary famous for
the magnificent monu-
ments and mausoleums. One
outstanding monument was
to the Firemen; looked to
be about four stories high
with a base of a hundred
OF more square feet. Many
were monuments to the
fighters for Cuban freedom.
Continuing down the avenue
Ell Presidente, we would
stop to take pictures of the
beautiful homes, modern
hotels, apartment houses
and hospitals. One of the
largest hospitals was just
for maternity cases. Now,
we are back at the wharf
where the tenders are wait
ing to take us back to our
ship. 1t was with sad hearts
that we said farewell to
Havana knowing that when
we awakened the next morn
ing we would be miles at
sea on our way home.
Next week, we will close
our Caribbean Cruise story
with a description of our
ocean liner.

Last week, we told you
about the invitation that DR..
l.. G.. Downing and / received
to a reception given b y
President and Mrs. Batista
of Cuba. We were quite
thrilled.
At a little before seven
we entered the Government
Palace. Modern buildings
are, as a whole, very at
tractive. But, there was a
sense of grandeur and mag
nificense about the palace
with it's marble stairways,
immense halls and ball
rooms characteristic of the
palaces of the Old World
that surpassed the largest
and most modern buildings.
At seven, the doors to the
Grand Ballroom were open
ed. AS we entered, we were
presented to our hosts by
the president of the Pan
American Congress. Both
were very gracious as they
shook hands with each guest.
We were among the first in
line, so, while waiting for
the welcome address of Pres
ident Batista, we joined the
others out on the balcony to
view the city of Havana UNI
der the full moon. How sur
prised we were to see that
1t had gone into an eclipse!
A very awe inspiring site
it was. After the address and
response from our president,
all were served champagne,
sandwiches, cakes, etc. By
nine o'clock, we decided to
leave. Since it was so early,
three of us went to see Jai-
Alai games. This is the
Spanish national ball game
which is considered t h e
worlds fastest sport. The
original name of this game
was Pelota, the Spanish
name for ball; 1t was chang
ed when introduced in Cuba.
1t is a mixture of tennis and
hand ball; but, a great deal
faster than either. The
game is played in an open
court with hand gloved and
armed with a Costa (or
basket with a gloved hand.
The player has to have very
keen eyesight and be very
alert to follow the ball as
it is thrown out of the Costa
against t he granite wall.

Caribbean Cruise - Part Seven
BY MRS. 1. c. DOWNING

The sound of the ball hit
ting the wall was accom-
panied by shouts of t h e
spectators and men calling
for bets. A couple of hours
of this and we were ready
to sail back in the tenders
to our ship, the Nieuw Ans
terdam.
The next day, after break
fast, the Cuban tenders were
ready to take us back to
Havana. We visited the
Capitol building which is
just like ours in Washing
ton in appearance. 1t was
started in 1925 and COM
pleted in 1929 at the cost,
including the furniture of
$16,640,7 1880. The archi-
t'acts and artistic designers
were all Cubans. About six
thousand men worked day
and night in eight hour
shifts. Throughout the build
ing were beautiful columns
OF Italian marble, immense
t1onze doors some of which
had panels depicting out
standing episodes of Cuban
history, and ceilings decor
ated with hand paintings.
The most interesting spot in
the Capitol was the diamond

there continually. AS we
