PAGE EIGHT e. Pre-School Clinic Is Held Tuesday Fifteen children out of a list of 28 who will enroll in the first grade next fall attended the anual pre school clinic held at the grade school building Tuesday Free physical examinations were given to the pre-school boys and girls who were brought to the clinic. The number of children present for the examinations was smaller than usual. Most of the absent children were from the town. Reason for the small number is seen in the fact that a number of parents are working, some are out of town and others are ill. Mrs. Wilma Chambers, Allen county health nurse, directed the clinic in which Bluffton doctors and dentists took part. Also assisting in conducting the clinic were Mrs. David Risser, Mrs. L. L. Ramseyer, Mrs. A. L. Daymen and Miss Meredith Stepleton. Colombia Is Land Of Extreme Poverty And Contrasts (Continued from page 1) poorer class of people pick up dirty banana peelings off the streets and eat them. Other times Cuppies has seen people eat the bark off of cocoanuts. Animal Problem The turkey buzzard is one bird that no one kills in Colombia because it is a scavenger and thus provides an easy way to dispose of dead ani mals. If it were not for this bird the filth would be unbearable as very few people take the trouble to bury an animal when it dies. In one instance Cuppies noticed that an important road in one of the towns was blocked off and upon investigating the reason found that a mule had died and was laying in the middle of the road. It took less energy to block the road off than to remove the mule, the speaker ex plained. Much of the population is illiter ate. There is no public school sys tem and the only education available is that provided by the Catholic church. The middle and upper classes support the church which is usually located in the center of the town and the most imposing edifice in the community. Lower Class The lower classes are a mixed breed with Spanish, Negro, Indian and often Chinese blood in their veins. Marriage among this class is infrequent. Large family units usually live under the same roof in undescribable conditions. They drink rum and a banana whiskey both of which are extremely intoxicating. The upper class lives in luxury in marked contrast to the poorer peoples. This class is usually com posed cf wealthy business men large ly of Spanish extraction. The middle class of people is com posed of ranchers and smaller busi ness men also largely of Spanish background. Low Wages A jpetent and licensed maid may ne secured for a wage of $12 to f!7 per month. A maid who is not licensed by medical authorities may secured for $5 to S9 per month, Cuppies said. I theory of the average Colom bia the training of children is re _■ to make any corrections before the child is eight years old. Before that age the child is considered in cay.c a- understanding directions. AXhtn the speaker was doing his first work on the oil fields he no ticed that the native workers watched practically every motion he made. pen inquiring about the matter he found that the illiterate native learns a vocation principally by copying the actions of the well trained American engineers and workers. Ship Sunk Cuppies also described the trip from Barranquilla, Colombia, to this country in which their coffee laden vessel was torpedoed in the Carib bean sea, 75 miles off the coast of Nicaragua, by a Nazi submarine. He told of their miraculous es capes with death and of the gen erosity of the Norwegian sailors in the vessel that rescued the survivors of the sinking. One of the sailors who had just purchased a complete outfit of clothes for his wife in Eng land gave the clothing to Mrs. Cup pies. The Cuppies family arrived in Bluffton on May 23 by bus after having spent some time at the home of the of the commanding officer of the United States navy yards at Key West, Florida.
