El Salvador Is Program Topic
For Pan American Round Table
Mrs. F.C. Gonzalez, Mrs.
Esteban Garcia, and Mrs.
M.G. Olivarez presented a
program on El Salvador with
Mrs. R.R. Guerra, Sr. and
Mrs. G.A. Garza assisting,
at the November 13 dinner
meeting of the Rio Grande
City-Roma Pan American
Round Table held at the
Brass Bull.
Table and wall decorations
carried out the theme of El
Salvador.
Mrs. Eladio Carrera,
program chairman,
presented Mrs. F.C. Gon-
zalez, who gave a history of
El Salvador, one of the
smallest countries in the
Western Hemisphere. It lies
along the Pacific Ocean on
the West coast of Central
America. San Salvador is the
capital and its largest city.
The official language is
Spanish. It is a Republic with
over 4,000,000 people
populating its 8,260 square
miles.
Chief products of the
country are beans, cattle,
coffee, corn cotton, rice and
sugar. Manufactured ■ goods
include alcohol, cigarettes,
cement, cotton goods, coffee
and leather goods. Coal,
gold, iron, lead, and zinc are
mined.
Family life in El Salvador
is similar to that in most
Latin American countries.
Most families are large with
everyone working together
to cultivate the fields and
harvest the crop. About 63
percent make their living in
agriculture.
El Salvador's government
resembles that of the U.S.
with a president who is
elected for five years, but
some presidents have
become dictators and held
office after their term ended,
causing political problems.
Mrs. R. R. Guerra, Sr.,
who visited El Salvador four
times while serving as
Director General of the
Alliance of Pan American
Round Tables, then ad-
dressed the table. "A land
whose capital, laid out in the
form of a cross, lies at the
foot of a volcano where 1500
years ago Mayan Indians
played a game similar to
modern basketball. This is
El Salvador, smallest and
most densely populated of
the Central American
nations."
She conitinued, "This is a
teeming, mountainous
country where the Spaniard
and the Indian have blended
thoroughly to create a new
people. In many Latin
American countires, most of
the people live in the cooler
highlands, leaving vast
areas of humid lowland
thinly populated and under-
developed. This is not so in
El Salvador, whose citizens
are evenly distributed over
its hilly surface in numerous
towns and small cities
separated by plantations
growing coffee, cotton, and
sesame for export, maize,
sugar sorghum, and beans
for local use.
Mrs. G.A. Garza ended the
program by exhibiting
orignial El Salvadorian
articles such as Hilasal, 100
percent cotton bath sheets
and beach towels with hand
screened designs, some of
which featured prehistoric
Indian figures. She also
showed a handmade 100
percent cotton hammock
with crocheted and fringe
borders and some antique
copper articles.
Mrs. Abel Lavel introduce-
ed student guests, Rio
Grande City High School
seniors Chris Guerra and
Maria Isabel Pena.
Mary, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Apolonio Pena, is vice-
president of the Student
Council, is a member of the
National Honor Society, and
has been an honor roll
student all four years. Her
plans are to attend the
University of Texas at
Austin or San Antonio and
major in chemistry or
biology with plans to enter
the field of medicine.
Chris, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Hector F. Guerra, is
president of the National
Honor Society and has been
an honor roll student all four
years. He is active in
athletics, including foothill
and baseball. He will attend
the University of Texas at
Austin and maior in
Business Administration..
He plans to specialize in
life insurance and return to
Rio Grande City to join his
father's firm.
Other guests for the
evening were Araceli
Gonzalez, Idolina Guerra
and Mrs. Carlos Gonzalez of
Roma, Mrs. Hector F.
Guerra and Mrs. Miguel
Hinojosa of Rio Grande City,
and Mrs. Paul Hiles of In-
diana.

As a Christmas project,
the CYO members of the
Holy Family Parish in
Grulla will present a play
entitled, "Bethlehem Is In
Your Heart." It will be
presented for the community
of Grulla on December 21.
The CYO members state
that the Christmas season
can be a very hectic, gift-
buying time in which we find
ourselves too busy to take
time for the Lord or to give
room in the "inn", which is
our hearts. The Christmas
play portrays the pre-
occupation of material
preparation for Christmas,
thus missing the deeper
meaning and reality of
Christ's birth. Yet, amidst
all the hubbub, rush, and
partying, there are those
who rise aoove the tinsel and
lights and prepare their
"inn" for the Lord.
Newly elected CYO of-
ficers for the coming year
are Ileana Chapa, president;
Nelda Zarate, vice-
president; Maribel Vera,
secretary; Cynthia Garza,
treasurer; Aida Alaniz,
porter; and Miguel Alaniz,
parliamentarian. Sponsors
include Jorge and Yolanda
Solis and Benito Saenz.
