Embassy ‘staff, whom we met at
a cocktail party given by Ex-
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 here in 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 Pera is undergoing
many changes and difficulties, not
the Iéast being the tremendous
surge of Andes Indians towards
the coast in search of jobs. This
has caused huge “bariadas” . .
to spring up in many coastal areas,

“Iam just one of several hun-

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

Lawn Clipping Tips
For Gardeners

: Are you puzzled as to what you

should do with your lawn you |
pings? Should you rake them up or
just leave them there? It all de-
pends on the condition of the lawn
at cutting time. ‘
Most. people leave the clippings
on the lawn. This is correct if you
follow a’ regular, frequent mowing
‘schedule and leave a few clippings
each time. But: there are - times
when: the clippings might cause
injury to the grass. That's when it
Pays to cart them away.

Clippings should be removed if
the grass igs wet at cutting time.
Wet clippings gather in clumps and
block the ‘passage of light and ‘air
to the grass below. This may cause
it to. smother and rot. They should
