As you viMt the many places of Mexico City and this tourist has never been in a more allurmg City when it comes to architecture, monuments, castles, and the fauna and flora you come to feel that Mexico is a sleeping giant which is rapidly coming awake. It is moving. It has all nations ot the world to help it it can take the pattern of growth it pleases. WANTED NOTICE Mexico City wanted to be noticed in the affairs of the world. It applied for the Olympics, and, with the aid mostly of the Eastern world, the Games were obtained. This was Mexicos chance to gain prestige in the world. It has accomplished tills mission. Some nations have sent their princes and public leaders here for this event. Ihese resi- s dential district compared with the squatters shacks in Bar-doCalif. j!Phie government had built fine substitute housing and disked these people to move frpnt the area. It was planned t beautify the access roads Olympic Stadium and Olvrnpie Village. jBut the people wouldnt !e?v$. They went to work and paiftted their places the bright cjjlors of tlie Latin American way.; As it turned out, it is eSie of the most interesting attractions of its sort. It is festive. 'iThe Mexicans, for the most port,; abhor it. They are embarrassed by it and they dont want anyone to photograph it or mention it. Its like we feel about some of the Ute Indian hogans along the foothills of our Whiterocks epuntry we are embarrassed leaders have been escorted and feted as only an ambitious country can do it. This applies also to the Olympic people the guests, the tour-isthe athletes, the press. SCOUTS WORK The Boy Scouts, hundreds of them maybe thousands work with the Olympic affairs. They serve as runners m the press box or as ushers. They are paid nothing and will accept no gratuity. I know. A half dozen of them have adopted me as their honorary mascot. I cannot buy them a treat. It is their Boy Scout obligation to do their good turn. Some have traveled in the United States, some have participated in Boy Scout Jamborees in other nations. They sang their Mexican songs for us as we bussed to the city together from Olympic Village. They told me of their plans, their educational ideas.

One of the newspaper ladies got up and walked to where the yacking lady sat and then leaned down to her and said quite loudly, Dont be such an ugly American. There are those of us who appreciate the hospitality and facilities of this country. You are on this bus wrongfully. You have taken the seat of someone who should have been on it. So it would please us all if you would just shut up! And she did ! How well I remember that after a week at I.apaz without any troubles at all, I got painfully distressed as soon as I got back to Los Angeles water. Im not an expert on schools. Our family did exchange sons for a brief period with a fine Mexico City family, the de la Vega Jose Maria Guerreros. The other day we met thi.' family for the first time after keeping up a wonderful correspondence with them for the past 10 years and my having visited my Mexican son at the University of Paris last February.

FAR AHEVD I found that my Mexican son, Jose, was far ahead of my own children in such sub- jects as mathematics, behind s, histories. He was in some others, of course. Back to the Olympic Games. Few people thought Mexico could make it. The high altitude got some of the attention. The race against time in the building of facilities, got more than its share of the headlines. SCENE SET But when the day came for the Olympics, the scene was set. There were few adjustments to be made. If there had been error in any way, it was too much organization. A little of the red tape had to be cut. Yet there was so little that the organizing committee had not foreseen and for which plans had not been made. Take this case, for instance: As early as August the committee hired maybe two thousand young ladies, all trilingual at least. They were to lx aides in all phases of the operation. One lady, for instance, from our Mexican exchange family, Carlotta Guerrero, was to be an escort to a British Lord. She had planned even thing possible for his stay here trips to all the cultural places, the right restaurants, the histories of all the pyramids and f a sties. She was groomed to be able to take group, from the British Lord to the delegation from France, on a OYSTER BAY, N.Y.
