Dr. Hixson Writes Interesting Letter Regarding Trip To Spain

The Daily Banner is in receipt of an interesting letter Written by Dr. Jerome Hixson who is on sabbaticHl leave from DePauw University. This was written from Barcelona, Spain, on February 20th It is ns follows: ••In response to my promise of it few lines from time to time, 1 will report on the trip of my brother, his wife, and their friend, Mrs. Blair, as well as of myself. First, briefly, we srrlved in Bsteelnns a week ngn by Pan-American Airways, and after an overnight stop in Barcelona flew, via ihe government operated Iberian Airlines, to the island of Majorca, about 100 miles southeast. Agnm we are In B.'ircelons this time to take the weekly Pan-American plane (Constellation) on to Rome this afternoon. After a few days there, we shall go to the Naples area in the south of Italy. Obviously, since our contact with Spain lias been so brief, I shall make no serious attempt at generalizations, but will set dowtl only a few of the lit We things that have impressed our party. ‘ DeapUe the size and apparent progress!veness of this city of about a million people, much of local color survives. From our hotel In the heart of the city of Barcelona we could hear chickens early this morning, and from our balcony could look down upon a, palm-shaded courtyard, where a white-hooded nun was feeding them. On the streets outside, donkey carts are as common as automobiles. Most of the automobiles here and Majorca ar» taxis and arc old: wc rode in a 25-year old Buick, a Graham Paige of equal antiquity, as well as divers ancient and diminutive Fiats and Cilroens. Gasoline is so expensive thnt many of the cares are powered by gas which they make themselves in strange charcoal-burners attached to the rear a little furnace and two tanks for gas where the gasoline tank normally is. At least twothirds of the traffic is animal powered and that does not Include bicycles! ••The appearance of the streets at night is desolate and even sinister. Most of the shop-windows are shuttered; doors are closed and almost no pedestrians are on the streets. The gas street lamps cast an eerie greenish-yel-low light. When we attempted with the aid of our map to walk from the restaurant after dinner last night we evidently couldn't rend the map in their dim light. On having difficulty with his ‘navigation,’ my pilot-brother finally asked a red-capped policeman for aid. I wish you could have seen this policeman, for he would have made you understand whst T meant when 1 said that mueh of local color survives. He carried a brightly-polished brass lantern and a clubbed spear. Despite his ferocious appearance, so vestigial of the middle ages, he courteously conducted us to om hotel and smiled In response to our ‘graclas, buenas nodhes!’ Regular business hours in Barcelona—and I suppose generally In much of flpain are from nine to one, three to seven. In the Interval between one and three, people take naps. This makes evening dinner about nine Life is apparently leisurely; and we have noticed how, like the policeman I just mentioned, everyone takes time' for courtesies. The concierge at the hotel has Just filled by fountain pen. Peasants pruning olive trees on Majorca (singing us they worked) stopped to be photgraphed, and gavn ua an olive branch! Our waiter gave Mary and Janice, at great effort, the recipe for pailla, a native ‘Spanish rice.' In a Majorcan shop where we bought berata —a transaction involving not much over a dollar, two clerks smilingly took at leaat a half hour with us. In another shop, a clerk took time from hualneM — and his partner joined in to help — to explain the customs of Holy Week, devoutly observed here, Yet lelsurellness and the time for such courtesies should not be taken to Indicate laziness In Majorca particularly, (a country almost as rocky as Vermont), they have been able to survive only because of their induatriousneaa. They have built miles it stone walla to make terraces for their olives, lemon*, flga and almond#—noil conaervation at great labor. They are a clean people, and in public places one • none of th« litter and dirt ao common in many of our own cities Their brass is aD brlgtttly
polished. Each bit of soil Is cultivated. They are industrious: but they have time for courtesies and socinllbllity, many of the little graces that bring them no more money, but which makes life so much more pleasant for everyone. This morning across the street from our hotel, on the hnlenny of a fiishlonsble apartment hou-r the lady Is besting her mattress with the nld of n beater, and her maid is polishing brass and glass There are red geraniums on the balcony nnd, I dare say in hei cmirlynrd. lemon and orange trees are well tended. Industry and n hit of beauty impress one ns characteristic. ‘‘Labor is very 111 psid A hotel employe In Palms showed Mrs. Blntt u paper stating h;'< monthly wages at s little over $6,00 (six dollars American). A Up of one peseta (2c) Is appreciated; and one of five pesetas (a little over n (lime) Is considered generous. A Majorcan who had lived in New York told Mrs. Blnli thst though living hero seems cheap to us It is hard to make the little money that is required Ordinary laborers wear raggei. clothing. From our viewpoint, prices In Hpaln and in Majorca seem low. A very gfioo clean hotel room in Palma was $1.00 a day. A better than ordinary one with bath In Barcelona Is $1.50. With meals of quality equnl to that of the best American hotels, one can slay at a celebrated Majorcan hotel for $4.00 a day Of course, the exchange may not remain so. Round-trip air fare to Majorca was only $12.00. Delicious fresh roasted almonds ai two cents for a targe bag. ‘The attitude of Majorcans to the Franco government is amazingly frank. More independcnl, perhaps, than the mainlandera, they volunteered to tel! us thnt their taxes are burdensome and their restriction by the government is distasteful. Everywhere, soldiers and sailors are apparent, one is always heating bugle calls, Spanish gunboats - under full steam, which they let off with a loud noise oecasionallv —remind one that Franco is boss here. Over the numerous stniories one rends a sign ‘Todo por la pairin’- which one of our drivers freely parodied, ‘todo poi Franco!” (all for Franco!) A' Seller our car was halted by a
