ROlliing
ALONG

/ wonder what ever hap
pened to that industrial de-
signer in Chicago who had
designs on the whole uni
verse. When it came to am
bition he hit a new high.
With the possibility of rock
ct and space ship travel in
the near future, he filed a
claim to all outer space. That
included everything from
here to there and on both
sides of it. You can't go
much farther.
At the time, officials said
he might even get it, because
no one else had thought of
applying for the ozone real
estate. If his claim were up
held he intended to promote
peace by barring rockets
from his territory. 1t would
be tougher to make that
stick than a used postage
stamp. However, he's got
something and it's out of
this world. Maybe he's just
building castles in the air.
A Miami woman asked for
divorce after her husband
threw a dictionary at her.
It seems words passed be-
tween them. Well words
can carry a lot of weight.
and we wish we had all the
right words to convey the
brilliance of the 1858 DE
SOTO to you. Better come
in, see it and test-drive it for
yourself then buy where

pert service, before and af-

milestone" in Puerto Rico's
booming tourist business.
Before the folding chairs had
been folded and taken inside.
you could almost see the tourist
people mentally busting their
hands and looking ahead to the
next milestone.
There are several to come.
Some hotels are being built.
some are in the planning stage,
and some are being envisioned.
Most are in the luxury class,
designed to attract the rich and
the moderately rich. But there
are rumblings about more ac-
commodations for US poor
people with middle incomes.
Even as the SIS million San
Juan Intercontinental was be-
ing built. one Of its officers was
saying in effect that what this
country needs is q good middle
income place to sleep.
BY this country he meant the
West Indies as a whole.
Big Market
Henry Held. president of the
San Juan Hotel Corporation,
has said there still is a crying
need for luxury hotels in the
Caribbean. But still untapped,
he feels. is a big market in the
middle income facilities.
He is considering "posadas"
for Puerto Rico. These would
be moderately priced but would
have more of the comforts Of
home than pensions. The COM
forts weuld include TV, radio
and air conditioning.
But, before the posadaS will
come more luxury hotels. Mr..
Held is at work on FL Ponceno,
another intercontinental motel
at Ponce, Puerto Rico's second
largest city. The Concha, being
built nearer downtown San
Juan. will open its 200 rooms
this fall.
The San Juan, like its
neighbors down the street. is a
luxury hotel. It's rates begin at
around SIG a day single and
