Know thy
.NeighborI
By ANTONIO RUIZ

CUBA-Since its settlement in
1915 by Diego de Velazquez, San
tiago de Cuba, capital of Oriente
Province, has played a very impor-
tant part in the history of the
country. Father Bartolome de las
Casas, the great defender of all
oppressed Indians of the New
World, lived in Santiago. There
also lived Herman Cortes, and made
his fortune, playing a prominent
role in the city's affairs, before
he embarked for the mainland to
begin the conquest of Mexico.
In the old days, Santiago, besides
a stronghold of Spanish power and
the wealthiest town in Cuba, was
also a center for the arts and
education. The first school of the
Island was established there in
1922, and the city is justly proud
of having been the scene of the
debut of Adelina Patti, one of the
worlds most honored singers. The
fact that Jose Maria de Heredia,
one of the most illustrious poets
of Latin America, was born there,
is another reason for the natives
of Santiago to be proud of their
city.
About ten miles from Santiago
is Ell Cobre, whose copper mines
are the oldest worked by white
men in the New World. Another
attraction for visitors there is the
Shrine of Our Lady of Charity of
Ell Cobre, the Patroness of Cuba,
and the recipient for more than
three centuries of many costly gifts
from the faithful who flock there
to worship and to be healed.
East of Santiago is Guantanamo
Bay, with its splendid harbor five
miles wide and ten miles long,
where the United States maintains
a naval base. This was the scene
of the most active fighting in Cuba
during Spanish American War,
when U. S. forces landed there and
routed the Spanish soldiers who
were in charge of protecting San
tiago and the surrounding terri
tory. The COUNTRYSIDE, which is a
rich coffee area, is
among those of most scenic beauty
in the Republic.
Baracoa, the most easterly of
Cuban ports, has the distinction
of having been the first town esta-
blished in the Island by the
Sparniards, in 1911. In spite of
the fact that it is a fascinating
spot for explorers, hunters, fisher
men and naturalists, it is probably
the least visited and most isolated
of all Cuban ports.
In the southwestern part of
Oriente Province is Manzanillo, an
important seaport located in the
curve of Guacanayabo Gulf, which
is formed by a promontory jutting
out boldly into the ocean from
the southern shoreline of the
Island. Manzanillo derives her i'm
portance from being the outlet for
an active agricultural and dairying
district, the center of which is Ba-
yamo, twenty-five miles inland.
This little town has historic inte-
rest because of the part it played
in Cuban's wars for independence
and the fact that Tomas Estrada
Palma, first Cuban President, was
born there.
Not far from Bayamo, the
islands largest and most important
river, the Cauto, empties into the
Gulf. About fifty miles of its length
is navigable for small steamers,
and a sightseeing trip on this fine
waterway rewards the visitors with
a vivid panoramic view of tropical
jungles teeming with rare plants
and animal life.

Exhibit; Manager
Praises BLufftOn

Over 300 persons visited the
"AtOms for Peace bus which
made an abbreviated visit to
Buttons Main street last Thus
day.
The bus was not opened until
shortly afternoon and then closed
its doors at p. m. because of
miserable, rainy weather which
kept attendance at a minimum.
The exhibit manager said he
was surprised at the turnout on a
bad day in a town this size. He
praised cooperation of Bluffton
Jaycees, noting they were pre-
pared for the visit of the bus and
had publicized its appearance. He
said that in Lima no arrange
ments had been made and no con-
tact was made by Jaycee spOn-
sOrs.
Richard Smith was in charge of
preparations for the bus's appear

500 water sample inspections.
The department also superVlses a

more than 2,1O0 individual DAIRY
farm inspections. The department
also conducts a meat inspection pro-
gram, which has been given full sup
port in all health districts where
meat from this area is sold.
The department also conducted a
study of tuberculosis through tuoer-
culin skin testing at Perry school.
This area was chosen because 1t
seemed likely a high reactor rate
would be found there. This proved
true as over IA percent of children
tested were found to be reactors.
A case of proved diphtheria which
occurred in a Perry school student
may have been prevented from turn
ing into an epidemic by prompt ac-
ton taken by the health department.
The report notes that four staff
nurses, all its budget will allow, are
on duty with the department although
ideal public health standards would
have from 20 to 33 nurses assigned to
Allen county. This shortage is partial
ly offset by school nurses and mem
bers of the VIVA filling ordinary pub
lie health responsibilities.

COVERED BRIDGES

Year by year. the old. weather
stained, covered bridges are disap-
pearing. Modern traffic needs a wild
er path; steel and cement are more
efficient than wood. The first patent
on a covered bridge was issued in
1897 to Charles Peale. In the first
decade of the 18th century, the COW
cred bridge period picked up mo-
mentum. Today there are about 1000
covered bridges in use. There are
covered bridges in 80 states with
Pennsylvania in the lead. Ohio, In
diana, Oregon and Vermont follow ir
that order.
Basically, the engineering desigr
is simple, for the entire superstruc
ture is a complete truss. Each space
between perpendicular timbers has Z
truss of crossed timberS mortised in
