MONTHS IN SPANISH PARADISE
D. c. Couple Enjoys
inexpensive Villa Life
By BOB and COsI RICHARDS

MAJORcA.
Looking for an interesting
spot where a couple can live
comfortably on $3.50 a month?
After seven months in Ma
jorca we know we have found
one such place. A modest income
loses much Of its modesty here
when converted into Spanish
pesetas. If you have a sense OF
adventure. you will find the
pleasant life here an excellent
buy.
We had heard that such places
existed, particularly in the Med
terranean area, We came here
in a roundabout way, taking
time out to tour the British Isles,
France and Switzerland. But
these beautiful countries all had
one thing in common-ghastly
off-season weather.
We compared notes with other
sodden travellers, and their ad-
vice was: GO to Majorca (Mal-
lorca) in the Balearic Islands.
You'll find warmth, sunshine,
cheap living. You'll love It'll"
Arrived in October.
After three weeks of high

Far to the east shimmered the
snow-covered Alps. Soon the
French coast stretched and
curved to the east; westward the
Pyrenees began to raise their
majestic peaks. Suddenly huge
rocks, strange as prehistoric
monsters, thrust themselves

The Ball Park
Is A Question
Up At Newton

1t is unfortunate that the base
ball property stands in danger of
passing into the hands of interests
outside the Newton -Conover COM
munity. 1t seems that local peo-
pie who are interested in seeing
home folks make good. to serve
other folks. would do something
about keeping the ball park as
home property.
The plan of this outside con-
Germ. we understand. is to dis
mantle the park and make a resi-
Dental area there. Not knowing
what type of residential develop
ment this would be. we can only
say that it is best that the park
stay as is and remain in local
hands.
Suggestions have come thick
and fast about the disposition of
this park, but so far no one has
come forth with tangible offer.
Officials of the park ownership
indicate that disposal is now ap-
parent. The last few years have
been steady losses for them on this
property.
Won't someone come forth with
a suggestion as to the disposition
of the ball park? - NewtOn-O
