A. PICO: Quite a bit. Up to

@. PORTER: It has been
suggested that one answer for
the housing Of middle income
families who want to live in
cities is the so-called condo
minimum with which Puerto Rico
has been experimenting. What
is the story here?
A. PICO: In so many cities

living in cooperative and ex-
pensive apartments for rent,
and the poor. living in public
housing projects or in rundown
tenements, are believed by
many to be pushing the middle
income group entirely out Of
the picture. Yet, countless
middle-income families do pre-
fer the cities to the suburbs
and, indeed. some find it nee
esary to reside In urban CEN
ters for one reason or another.
It seems to me that the an
swer does lie in the building
of condominiums. or individ-
ually owned apartments. We
have experimental with con-
dominiumS in Puerto Rico: in
fact. the Government Develop
ment Bank in 1855 financed the
purchase Of % apartments in
the flrst building Of that type
the San Luis Apartments In
San Juan. Since then. private
lending institutions in Puerto
Rico have participated in the
financing Of such mortgages.
Condominium buildings,
which are well known in Europe
and South America, resemble
cooperative apartment build
ings In some ways but embody
fundamental differences. Legal
title to each apartment is
vested In one owner to the ex-
clusion of any other person or
entity. This is the same kind
Of title held for a single house
or an independent lot. There is
no tenant-landlord relationship
such as continues to exist un-
der the cooperative system.
The owner exercises his own
ership rights like any property
owner. He may freely sell his
apartment at any price, subject
to giving first option to buy on
equal terms to the other owners.
He may exchange. rent or mort
gage his apartment independ-
ent Of the other owners. For
tax purposes. each apartment
is assessed separately.

A resourceful American
collector, whose numerous

printed bearing the name Of
a fictitious tobacco company.
On this, he wrote to Shaw,
advising G. B. S. that he
planned to name a cigar
after him. The letter struck
pay dirt. Back by return mail
came a blistering reply from
Shaw, threatening legal &C

THERE Is NOTHING like
a dame, as the boys In the
South Pacific used to say.
And there is nothing like
peace and quiet in the coun-
try.
LIKE MOST DANES, my
wife is utterly unpredictable.
The other night. for instance,
she hit my daughter over the
head with a kitchen chair.
I figured our teen-age
daughter. Linda, had it COM
ing for one thing or another,
but this came at the wrong
time and for the wrong rea-
son. To put it mildly, I was
thunderstruck, because my
wife, Miriam, usually is so
good natured. And our daugh-
ter literally was fioored.
But let's start at the begin
ming. And the beginning
means Daisy, an orange-and-
white beagle lady with a woe
begone expression who was
here at Hidden Valley Farm
when we moved in and who
is still with US.
Canine Triangle
On this fateful day, Daisy
was particularly alluring both
to Prince Nicholas II, other
wise known as Nickie, our
debonair shepherd-collie, and
to Sammie. our bench-legged
beagle. Ordinarily Nickie and
Sammie eagerly trot out of
the house early each morning
to hunt rabbits and squirrels,
and are the best of pals.
But as usual, a dame came
between them. 1t was clear
at the onset that Daisy pre-
ferred Sam, who has a win
ming personality. Nickie was
forced to play second fiddle,
a role that lacerated his
pride.
WE WERE EATING our
evening meal in the kitchen
and everyone was chattering
away without noticing that
the canine triangle had
moved into the kitchen and
under the table. Suddenly
Nickie and Sam tangled In a
pinwheel of yelps and snarls
and bites and canine curses,
dainty Daisy went into hys-

from our chairs.

to pull Nickie away from
