daughter of Ambassador and
Sonora de Zuleta Angel. "You
use a ceramic dish and a wood

Is important. Put the coffee
beans in the dish and place on
top of the stove and stir con-
stantly. It's very important
to stir all the time to get an
even roast. When it's done, the
bean should be the color of the
habits worn by the Capuchin
monks. It's called cappuccino."
"You know how we grind

American way. We use elec-

The coffee houses that have
taken New York by storm

I'VE have many, many cafes
in Bogota where they serve
nothing but coffee. Everyone

cafes to talk business. Each
cafe has it own speciality where
they serve different kinds of
coffee but the most popular is
just plain black coffee" she

One day the priest of a
nearby monastery founo the
shepherd prancing about with
his charges. When asked to
explain his strange behavior.
he described his discovery of
the magic berries. The imam
picked a baSketful, took them
back to the monastery. where
he stepped them in water and
boldly drank the black liquid.
To his surprise. he. too. felt
alert and stimulated. So de-
lighted was he with his new
brew that come nightfall, he
decided to share it with his
brethren, who were prone to
fall asleep at their prayers.
And so. according to the myth
ical story, the custom of coffee
drinking was born and the
dar' red berry was on its way
to fame and fortune.

credit for the first cup of cof-
fee, the industry has come a
long, long way since then.

Offers to Free 40 odd

More progress towards the
easing Of world tensions were
probably made when the Red
Chinese representative at
Geneva agreed in principle to
release some forty odd Ameri
can citizens now in China. A
formula was also suggested
by the Chinese for the ex-
change Of Chinese students
now in the United States.
Secretary Of State John
Foster Dulles called on the
Red Chinese to renounce the
use of force to achieve its ma
tional ambitions in Asia. He
said that the U. S. is not just
a cease fire pronounce
ment from the Reds but a
pledge of Peiping to abandon
or the threat of force not
only in the Formosa area but

The dog population Of st

two years and is a source Of
annoyance to residents, espe-
cially of Christiansted town.
The situation is aggravated
by the fact that this is also

roam the streets at nights, =
during the early hours Of the
mornings they howl, and
bark without any provocation
whatever; many times, under
windows far away from their
own homes. They engage in

as many as ten dogs.

"That committee was formed
to make a study of the whole

trustees have been asked to give
recommendations or suggestions
they may have to the committee.

Locally. John Walker. the gall
