To
Think About
BY Maurice F. White

Between 1850 and 1860 great
shifts in the population took place.
Some cities lost while others
gained. However, while both Cent
erville, Iowa, and Minneapolis lost
people during that period-966 for
Centerville and 3S,S46 for Mime
apolis-one of Centerville's lost
number became Minneapolis gain.
She was tall as girls go (5' 6")
when she came to Minneapolis in
1851 to live with her aunt and go
to the University Of Minnesota.
She had kind of freshly scrub
bed face that mirrored her naive
ness and her fear of the big city.
Nevertheless, her hazy eyes virtu-
ally sparkled and captivated those
who met her.
A bit shy and retiring, she
made friends easily and the
Minneapolis girls took her in as
If she had grown up and lived
here all her life.
The first two years at the univ
ersity were the toughest for this
hazy-eyed, brown-haired girl. AL
though she was surrounded with
relatives, including her father, she
longed to be back in Centerville
with her ailing mother whom she
had lived with all of her life.
Many times she was tempted to
give up and go back home.
The years passed and in 1855
she received her bachlors degree
from the university then turned
right around and entered grad
uate school.
Something else happened in
1855. Our hazy-eyed girl-who had
blossomed into a real beauty es-
pecially when she wore red; the
color which virtually made her
glow-met a young man one Sun
day morning when he came to visit
the Sunday School class Of which
she was the secretary.
She didn't see him again for
some weeks. But that little devil,
Cupid, had taken good aim and
fired at her. Just when she had
given up any hope of seeing the
young man again, he appeared at
church one Sunday morning.
Afterward, he drove her home and
she asked him in for dinner. From
then on, every Sunday he had
standing invitation to dinner.
The months passed quickly and
it was graduation time again for
our girl: this time from graduate
school. For her graduation present
she received her first and only
diamond ring. He said it was
small, but she thought it was at
least a karet and a half!
Right after that she left Min
neapOIis, only to return year
later to get married and make
her home here.
Her four years of married life
have been filled with disappoint-
ments as well as joys. Two such
joys have been her two little girls
who were born a year apart.
Who is this hazy-eyed girl from
Centerville, Iowa?
Before she married her name
was Alberta Smith. However,
since she never uses her first name
but goes by her middle name,
more people know her as Marilyn.
That's right I've been talking
about my wife. What's the oc-
cassion? Well, come the 21st of
this month, we will celebrate our
fourth wedding anniversary. I
thought this might be a nice way
to thank her for two beautiful
daughters and four wonderful
years.
I'm not the easiest person to
live with-you know!

fun at the new Kennedy ad-

In O more serious vein, the

Of Government officials, legis-

Admiral Lovette, who took

I17h years of sea duty with
seven sea commands during the

Alliance For Progress
Gives Hope For Future

In Latin America almost one
million new dwellings are
needed each year for the bur
geoning population which now
stands at about 200 million
At the present rate of increase
it will nudge the 500 million
mark in 40 years.
because 40 percent of the pop
ulation is under Is, a large
share of Latin American re-
sources are devoted to schools
AS yet, there are no schools
for some 80 million children
approximately percent o /
Latin American land owners
possess nearly 20 percent OF
quarter of this is under cult
walton.
Most Latin American coun-
tries suffer from dependency
on one commodity for the bulk
of their foreign exchange
earnings. Coffee brought 81
billion in earnings for Latin
American countries in 1856. In
1859, these earnings had drop
ped to SIS billion, eve II
though more coffee was ex-
ported.
"In terms of money, sacrifice,
and reform, the burden of correct
ing these serious problems and
achieving the goals of the Alliance
for Progress will fall on the par
ticipating countries themselves. y
So says T. Graydon Upton, eX-
ecutive vice president of the Inter
A erican Development Bank
writing in The Rotarian Magazine
for January, an issue devoted to
South America
However" Mr. Upton continues
cit was recognized at Punta del
Este (where the Alliance was
shaped in August, 1861 that these
self-help efforts will have to be
supported by large sums of out
side capital"
Mr.. Upton cites the estimate OF
the T. S. Secretary of the Trea-
sury that the U. S. government
will contribute $3.50 million a year
to Latin America S economic and
social development and that U. S
private investment will be about
$500 million annually. The remain
der of the needed outside capital
will flow from international fl
nancial agencies such as the World
L " 4
ment Bank, and from public loans
and private investment from West
ern Europe, Canada, and Japan.

the United States first $500 mil
lion loan under the Alliance for
created Inter-American Develop
ment Bank. IADB loans already
are at work providing better homes
in Venezuela, credit to farmers
in Ell Salvador, and a modern
water works and sewerage system
for the city of Arequipa, Peru.
"The objective of the Alliance,
Mr. Upton concludes, must be
balanced in Latin America. En-
phasis must be placed on institu-
tional forms, but priv e
capital must also be encouraged :;
for if private capital is destroyed
the burden of the development of
Latin America will fall on govern
ments. This could lead to a situa-
tion where sufficient development
capital will NOT be available, and
thus make more likely dictatorial
systems and the destruction of the
democratic system in Latin Ameri-
ca the tragedy the Alliance for
Progress seeks to avoid"
