CCNR Region Manager Writes

Of Changes Underway in Peru

Thia is’ the last in’a scries on
South’ America by Reg. M. Dagg,
Western Rogion Manager, Cana-
‘dian© Community Newspaper Re-

of which organi:

tion this newspaper is a member.
Mr. Dagg was one of a party of
Western Canadians who participat-}
ed in-an inaugural flight from Cal-
gary of Canadian © Pacific . Air
Lines’ new cervice from that city, '

It is Se because I am
a romantic at heart — with more
than ‘a little of Thurber's “Walter
Mitty” in me — but I found Lima,
“City of the Kings", capital of Pe-
ru, to be the highlight of our CPA
trip.

to a distant land should do some
preliminary reading. I had read
some about Buenos Aires, and I
was therefore somewhat prepared
for: the individuality of that inte-
resting. city. I had studied some
about Chile, and its capital Santi-
ago, and I found this of consider-
able help. in appreciating what I
found there,

But I had researched the Peru
of the Incas, and had been both
fascinated and horrorstricken by
the ease with which Francisco Piz.
zaro, with only 400 soldiers and
200 horses, conquered and ravaged |,
that country 431 years ago.

Some of our party took flight
to Cuzco, ancient Incan capital

| From Cuzco, by narrow-gauge
srailway, travellers go to ‘the ‘fa-
bulous “lost city” Machu Picchu,
terraced, literally hanging to’ the
mountain side.- Discovered only in
1911 by the North American | ex-
plorer, Hiram Bingham, Machu
Picchu is astonishingly well-pre-
served for a city of unknown ori-
gin, and as yet undetermined an-
tiquity.’ All who have visited this
famous city of the sun proclaim
it truly one’of the world’s great
‘wonders,

We who remained in Lima,|
however, did not lack ‘for things
of interest to see and do. Founded
in 1535 by Pizzaro and proclaim-
ed Peru’s new capital, Lima’ be-
lies its location only 12 degrees
from the equator. Instead of heat,
it offers © moderate. year-round
temperature, .- cool” days,
nights, especially during the win-
ter months, May to October,

No'need for windshield wipers

Situated 11,254 feet above sea le-
vel, Cuzco still retains: much of
the past, for while cars and trucks
travel the larger streets, just
around each corner can be found
the high-necked, soft-haired Hama,
still the beast of burden for co-
Jorfully-costumed mountain men
and women,

And you'll find also its tiny

there permitted only a light samp-

cellency, Ambassador Tovell, were
most: kind’ in providing: me with
much “Information, and helping
me to run down many details.
An interview. with the mana-
ger of the Royal Bank of ‘Canada
in Lima disclosed in him a form-
er Saskatchewan boy who, while
at Elrose, Saskatchewan in 1932
took the: offer of the bank: to
send him to Latin America — a
choice: he has never regretted:
“And,” added this banker, R.'K,
Mennel, “I would like to see more
Canadians coming here to visit
and ‘to sell Canadian goods. There
is a ‘market herein Latin Ameri-
ca for Canadians who will seek
it by. coming to sell, not by stay-
ing home .and ‘writing letters. It’s
a wonderful country to visit, for
both business “and pleasure.”
“Modern” Peru; is undergoing
many changes and difficulties, not
the’ Iéest being the tremendous
surge of Andes Indians towards
the coast in search of jobs. This’

to spring up in many. coastal, areas,
and I visited one just ‘outside
Lima, called “Pampas. de Como.”
Here I. met three Canadian
priests of ‘the Oblate. Order in
Ottawa, The elder, Father’ Meun-
fer,;,had previously been in Sas-
katoon’ and’ Maillardville, B.C.: be-
fore coming to Peru several years
ago.
“I am just one of several hun-
dred Catholic . priests and other
missionaries in Peru", he said,
“who do what we can: to help the
people of the mountains who
stream in here by thousands each
week. This land,” he: waved a
hand towards the sand-like’ dunes
of the coast, “is*not dead land.
Give it water, and it will support
many more: millions than Peru
will have for years to come. Some-
day it will- be a beautiful land,
with happy, healthy people spread
out. over it,-not huddled here and
there in bariadas like. this.”
(Since our return, there ‘has
been a Presidential election in Pe.
ru, and press reports indicate hope
for stability in. government, enab-
ling. several refocation projects
to-be carried out. These report-
edly include plans for the ‘irriga-

Next a” brief, pleasant. stay

‘Most people Icave the clippings
