Show Thursday, September 13, l3s THE PARK RECORD PAGE TIIRE3 Costa Rica'a First Flag Was of Spanish Country I The flag of Costa Rica is closely .associated with the history of that nation. Costa Ricans take pride in recalling that the first flag ever flown over their lands was that of the mother country, Spain. In 1505, the city of Cartago was granted a 6Cutcheon on which appeared several sev-eral castles and lions (the emblem of Castile) and six black eagles on a silver field. "Fide et Pace" was the motto on this scutcheon. When Costa Rica became inde pendent it joined Iturbide's shortlived short-lived empire and, therefore, its first flag as an independent nation was that 01 Mexico. However, history tells us that this flag was never raised over Costa Rican territory, says the Washington Post. ; When the Central American fed-jeration fed-jeration was formed, Costa Rica, being be-ing one of its components, adopted its colors: Two horizontal blue Istripes separated by a white stripe. Later on, the. national flag was .modified in several respects and finally, when complete independ-jence independ-jence was achieved, the present 'flag was adopted. This flag and the jnational coat of arms were adopted l-by means of a decree dated September Sep-tember 28, 1848. I The national Costa Rican flag' has five horizontal stripes, of .which the uppermost and lowermost are blue, the next two white .and the center one red and of twice the width of the others. The national coat of arms appears in the center of the white stripe. The Costa Rican flag brings to the mind the ties that bind the sister sis-ter republics of Central America, and pays homage to those who spent their lives in the service of the nation. na-tion. And the rays of the rising sun symbolize the brilliant future that the people believe awaits their country. 1 & f .

That is a word which denotes an ingredient ingre-dient with which even the youngest cook is familiar, for it means merely mere-ly whole pepper, either b!ack or white. Pepper grows in long clusters, clus-ters, and each little pepper is small and round, with a dimpled skin like an orange. It is picked before it is completely ripe and then dried until it is hard and shriveled. It is in this form that it comes to us and is used in our kitchens to savor meats, soups and many other foods. The most common use of pepper is in the ground form which is used at the table as well as in seasoning food during the cooking. "Uglies," Breakfast Fruit They call them "uglies," Jamaica's Jamai-ca's contribution to breakfasts and desserts. Uglies are a cross between be-tween a grapefruit and a tangerine, are sweeter than the juciest orange, and look like a half-deflated basketball. basket-ball. When the fruit was first produced pro-duced near Kingston, a Jamaican took a look at its wrinkled skin and remarked, "It's ugly." So "ugli" it's called, although swanky restaurants, restau-rants, loath to include such an "ugly" "ug-ly" name on their menus, are fervently fer-vently wishing that someone, would think of a better one. The ugli is larger than a grapefruit and has a skin about half an inch thick. Cut in two it looks like a grapefruit but is colored like an orange. One ugli has been known to produce over half a pint of juice, not so tart as that from the grapefruit. Many of the fruiV measure nearly six inches in diameter. t4 1 v H 'i , ' , ' - i- . - "Ws great to hear your voice 99 Written words cannot replace the personality per-sonality of your voice.

Nineteen hundred feet of net are strung over the side, held up by cork floats, kept down by lead weights. 1 :.y .ft fit -i v Going in a circle about 575 feet in diameter, the net soon encloses a school of salmon. The bottom of the net is closed by drawing the purse line which operates just like the string of a purse. Soon the net will be drawn in, bringing its cargo of fresh salmon. f v hi U v, :nr,v i if Here is a closeup of taking in the net. The man in the foreground is handling the purse line, which is usually drawn in by steam power because be-cause of its tremendous weight. Thus modern steam winches have greatly increased the speed of fishing, enabling boats to surround and capture a school of salmon in quick order. s !

Once aboard the boat, the salmon are rushed to the cannery or transferred to a cannery can-nery tender which carries thousands of the silvery fish to plants located on the shores of Puget Sound. Less than 24 hours later the fish are in cans, cooked, labeled and ready for shipment to your corner grocery. Puget Sound's delicious salmon are not taken in excessive numbers.
