Everything Big In Buenos Aires

(EDITOR'S NOTE: What makes a city great other than its sise alone. This is the third in a series on great cities of the world.) Great Cities of the World No. 3—Buenos Aires By WILLIAM L. F. HORSEY United Press International BUENOS AIRES (UPD—On the shores of the "River of Silver” is the largest Spanish speaking city in the world. Yet the Frenchman gasps "Mais, ca c’est Paris." The Spainiard says "Es Madrid.” And the Englishman declares “Good gracious. It’s London." The city of Santa Maria de Los Buenos Aires sprawls along the river like Chicago along Lake Michigan. Behind Buenos Aires stretch the limitless ilat grassy pampas like the plains of the Midwest.

You, Your Child And The School

By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Many parents now are considering summer camps for their children. There are several important considerations before a final decision is made. *niese involve evaluation of the child's needs as well as what a particular camp program can offer. Some children can gain a great deal from a camp experience “while others would benefit more by spending the summer with their families. The answer involves the child’s personality, interests, age. home situation, and neighborhood. A child who loves sports, other children, and is generally self sufficient probably will love camp and gain a great deal from it. A child who dislikes sports and tends to be a loner may find camp distasteful. It is possible that he could benefits from camping but this will depend upon his own attitude. If he would like to try camping, he could learn much if he is given encouragement by the counsellors and attends a cam? which emphasizes some activities to match his interests. He may like- sleeping outdoors, music, etc. Age Is Important - Age is an important factor. A day camp is more desirable for the younger child ranging in age from 3 or 4 to 7 or 8. A resident or sleep - away camp should not tfe considered much before age 7 or 8. Os course, this depends on the individual child. Some may be ready at age 5 or 6 while others would not be ready until age 9. . In a home where both parents work, camp can be very helpful... JThe child will be a part of* a well planned program with good supervision. He will have the feeling that he is a part of a group rather than being home alone with little attention because his parents are both tired after work. In such situations it is important that the child understands that he is not being sent away to get rid of him but rather because he is loved and will obtain many benefits. In addition it would be most valuable if some vacation period could be arranged when the entire family could be together. Check Pattern The general pattern of the

Its population is listed often as 4 million but in the seemingly endless extensions beyond the city limits are that many more people again so that it lays claim to being the second biggest city in the Western Hemisphere. Here you will find the world’s longest street, Avemda Rivadavia named for Argentina’s George Washington, which stretches from Casa Rosada to the suburb of Merlo, 26 miles inland. Then, with all due respect to Canal Street in New Orleans, Buenos Aires also has the widest street in the world, the 300-yard-wide Avenida Nueve de Julio. Everything smacks of bigness in Buenos Aires. The world’s largest airport in geographic area, the world’s largest swimming pools—two for

neighborhood and the child’s friends should be considered. If everyone goes away, the child would be most lonely at home. On the other hand, if everyone stays at home and many facilities and planned activities are available, the child might have a wonderful time at home. Choosing the right camp is a necessity. Investigate the many camps which are available. Find out the kinds of activities which they emphasize. Consider the distance and facilities. Relate these things to your child's personality and interests. In any event, the decision of camp or home should be a combined one between parent and child. The child should never feel that he is being sent away because he is not wanted. He must have the feeling that he is involved in the decision and that he will benefit from the experience. Camp can be both enjoyable and helpful. The key is in the planning. o ——— ( ( Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 0— o Q. I should like to know the proper approach to a friend who insists on blotting her lips on my best linen napkins when dining in my home. This leaves a hard-to-remove red stain on the material. A. You can hardly speak to her about it. But in the future furnish paper napkins, of which there are any number of very attractive designs on the market — all in perfectly good taste, too. Q. What can a house guest do when the'hostess offers him several vegetables at dinner which he dislikes? A. Ts he’d like to be, invited again, he’ll take at least a small portion of everything'offered — and make a good show of enjoying it, too. Q. Is it the girl’s privilege to select the table when entering a restaurant with a male escort? A. No: her escort does this. Q. Would it be all right for a girl to send a young man a birthday card, even though he has never sent a card or given her a gift of any kind? A. There is . never anything wTong with a gesture of friendship and thoughtfulness such as this.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT. DECATUR. INDIANA

and Three years after Vasco Nunez de Balboa first saw the Pacific Ocean. Juan Diaz de Solis, grand pilot of the Spanish realm, with only 60 men in three small ships discovered the River Plate in late January or early February of 1516. He named it the River of Silver” (which has been anglicized to River Plate) because he conjectured that it must lead to the famed Potosi silver mines of upper Peru (now Bolivia) where thousands of Yana conas or Inca Indian slaves

mined, refined and hauled ingots for an insatiable Spanish treasury over the Andes to Panama. Buenos Aires has been settled by the Spanish, English, Italians, Russians, Syrians, Lebanese, to name just a few of the nationalities here. But it was the British who built the city into a great capital. They seized the city in 1806 and 1807 and wei*e driven out both times. But undaunted by their military defeats they came back by the thousands as

businessmen, railroad builders, ranchers, settlers and farmers. British Have Tower TTie British now have a Big Ten. clocktower, chimes and all, in Plaza Britannia in front of the Mitre Terminal. Not to be outdone, the Canadians have erected a totem pole next door in Plaza Canada. The Spaniards, of course, were the first to establish themselves here. In 1536 Don Pedro de Mendoza led an expedition tc - the present site and formed a settlement. The origi-

nal population was 2,lo6—some < 100 Spaniards and 2,000 friendly 1 Indians. Buenos Aires is a melting 1 pot. The British built railroads < spreading out like the spokes i of a wheel for hundreds of miles in every direction and 1 sponsored large scale* immigra- 1 tion of poor Spaniards and i Italians to farm the virgin j lands. Buenos Aires, as the hub of this 19,006-mile network 1 —the fifth largest in the world 1 —became one of the richest cities in the world. Thirty years j

of military governments, dictatorships and political upheavals have tarnished a lot of its lustre but now under the return of democracy this great city is recovering its former brilliance. After the Spanish and Italian hordes, the czars of imperial Russia gave Argentina half a million Jews fleeing from the pogroms of Odessa. The stout Ukrainians followed, of whom half a million now live in the Parana River Valley, with many equaliy-freedom loving Poles.
