BY Gary LOTUS

Spending an hour and a half
going through Mexican customs
didn't seem to be too long.
After all, one. has to get tour
ist permit, car permit, luggage
inspected, and wait until Mexi-
can washes his car. However, l
learned later that the more l tipped
the Inspector, the faster l would
have gotten through. 1t seems as
if everything is run in the same
manner. A car permit is free, but
it is handled more efficiently and
quickly if an American dollar is
presented to the official tipping
your permit. There would always
be two or three men doing the job
of one and making things much
more confusing than they already
were. The luggage barrier encoun-
tered added to the misunderstand-
ings already made.
After somehow managing to go
through the trying but comical
customs, went through the border
town Of Nogales and on into
Mexico itself. Many things that
are strange and different TO our
way of life were seen.
One Of the outstanding scenes
along the highway was the ex-
treme poverty encountered. People
live in what could hardly be called
shacks. The houses are rundown
and unkempt. There is garbage in
pile a short distance from the
dwelling. There is little, if any,
furniture. These environments can
not be described by word of mouth,
One has to see this dire poverty
before it can be fully realized.
These people outside the cities live
in the worst kind of squallor
imaginable.
Along the highways in northern
Mexico, which is semi-arid with
very little vegetation, Craze many,
many cattle. They seem to enjoy
the grassland along the highway
much more than that off the road.
1t behooves one to be extremely
careful when driving, for if one
of these animals is hit, the owner
expects q substantial considera-
tion.
Then there is the lowly burro, an
animal with a mind all it's own.
Nobody tells him what to do or
shows him where to walk. If he's
standing in the middle Of the road,
nothing is going to make that
creature move.
The cattle and horses Of Mexico
seem to he mixtures of every breed,
as are the dogs, which Mexicans
East Cleveland leader. [volume] (East Cleveland, Ohio) 1942-1970, 1956-08-02

In the midst of these are immense
banana plantations, in contrast to
the North, where the only indus
try is cattle-raising. Here, also,
The land itself becomes higher and
begins to roll more and form hills,
and finally mountains.
The second contrast is the most
apparent of the three. In many
towns people are striving toward
progress and great gains. In
others they are very Indifferent.
On one side of the street people
are living in extreme squalor,
while just across the road there
are beautiful homes and business
buildings. In Mexico people live in
poverty within the sight of plenty.
The federal government of
Mexico is doing much to help.
Irrigating arid farmlands and
making them available at reason
able rates is one of the govern
ment's big projects.
Last contrast is the inconsist-
ency of the prices. The inability of
reaching all the people within a
short time has made uniform prices
impossible. In some places a soft
drink will cost one peso e cents,
American money! and in other
places only % centervos q cents,
American money!. Most of the
things bought are bargained. A
peddler may not receive the same
price for the same article in a
whole day. 1t all depends on
whether he can out-talk the buyer.
Although this country appears
backwards and primitive in many
ways, it is also advancing rapidly
in other respects. Progress can be
seen amidst poverty.

Mexico Land Of Many Contrasts
Presents Picture OF Poverty To
Traveller From East Cleveland

: love. II one is hit on the road, it
may cost the driver over twenty
American dollars.
Besides the Mexican's love for
animals is their love for a cer-
tain well-known American soft
drink. They drink it like water.
No matter how primitive a place
may be, no matter how poor, it
will have a beverage sign and
cooler. Everything advertises it..
On the police stands, on streets
signs, and even on the town jails.
A Mexican is rarely seen without
this beverage bottle, and even the
horses are seen with them tied
TO the saddles.
Another fascinating way Of the
Mexican people is their gas sta
tions. While the gas is being put
into the tank, one boy will check
the water, another the oil, another
will wash the windows, and there
is always one to sell you soft
drinks.
You pay for each item separa-
tely. Usually there is an eleven
or twelve-year-old boy, or some
times girl, who has been to
school and does all the mathema-
tics for the entire gas station.
There are alwayS about fourteen
people around to do the work of
two or three men. This only adds
to the confusion. However, we
usually end up with what we asked
for, and usually many friends are
made.
This truly is a land Of con-
trasts. First. there is the topo-
graphical and vegetation contrast.
Secondly, the contrast of poverty
and plenty. Last, there is the con-
trast in prices and standards of
living.
In the North it is a country of
desert and rather flat, plateau
like land. There are varieties of
sage brush, cacti, and scrawny
tlees. The roads are straight and
flat. Almost as soon as the Tropic
of Cancer is crossed, there is a
noticeable change. The vegetation
becomes lush and green. 1t be-
comes denser and forms jungles.
