NICARAGUA*—OCEAN LINK OF TOMORROW * -
I^ICARAGUA is the largest of the Central American Republics. Its terri-
tory, about that of Wisconsin, forms an isosceles triangle wedged into
I the middle of Cenutral Amerioa, with the Pacific as the western boundary
and the Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea, as the eastern.
From northwest to southeast the
I extension of the Sierra Madre moun-
tain system cuts through Nicaragua,
| dividing it into two parts which
have, as yet, little access to each
I other. The smaller of these, the nar-
row Pacific Coast region, is about
| a quarter of the country’s total area
of 67,000 square miles. But here is
most of the agriculture of the na-
tion, and nearly half its population
of about a million and a half. Hera,
too, on the southern shore of the
famed Lake Managua, about 200 ft.
above sea level, is Managua, the
capital city.
Almost completely destroyed by
the earthquake and fire in 1981, the
city has risen again, more modern
but fully as beautiful as of old.
The larger eastern section of the tri-
angle is for the most part mountain-
ous. Most of the large rivers empty-
ing into the Atlantic rite in the cen-
tral cordillera region. The Rio
Grande de Matagalpa flows eastward
through a large gap in the mountains
and in its valleys are most of the
cattle ranches of the country.
Lying placidly between mountains
and coasts are the two fresh water
lakes for which Nicaragua ia fa-
mous. Into them emptying the moun-
tain streams of the western slopes.
The smaller of these is Lake Mana-
gua, 38 miles long and 10 to 16
miles in width. The other, Lake
Nicaragua, is an elliptical body of
water 90 miles long and 89 miles at
its widest. It is about 185 feet
above sea level and has always been
an important factor in the trans-
portation of the country. Davila,
the first Spanish conqueror, called
‘t “Freshwater Sea.” From Lake
Nicaragua, on its way to the Atlan-
tic, flows the San Jnan river. To-
gether these lakes cover nearly 8,600
nuare miles. These lakes and the San
Juan river long have been diecuased
as possible routes of a second canal
linking; Atlantic and Pacific. In the
d«y* of the California “Gold Rash,”
ihere was lively interest In the pos-
"JbiHty. A definite step in the dir-
ection of sueh n waterway in a treaty
r,cently entered into by the govern-
ments of Nicaragua and Costa Riea
T°,r to* canalisation of the San Juan
his would open the way for navi-
[?t,on of ships of medium site from
Atlantic to Lake Nicaragua and
speed the development of the whole
region.
Columbus was the first white man
to set eyes on Nicaragua. In Septem-
ber of 1602, according to the story,
nearing the Central American coast
on hia last voyage, he was overtak-
end by a storm. Finding safety in
an unknown harbor, so great wartris
relief that he called the jutting
point of land “Gracias a Dios,”
(Thanks Be To God). So the north-,1*™
eastern corner of Nicaragua got its
name.
. Conquest did not follow so close
on the heels of discovery, however.
It was not until Balboa discovered
the Pacific and claimed it all ia the
name of the Spanish king that there
was begun a period of conquest and
Spanish rule, to last for three years
beyend three centuries. Movements
toward independence there were,
but the country’s development into a
free nation was delayed by attempts
of various foreign powers to admin-
ister the affairs of the Nicaraguans.
At last, rid of foreign interference,
Nicaragua was to enjoy a period of
tranquility which has been marked
by a steady advance in the political
and economic life of the nation.
In the world-market of today
Nicaragua can offer gold, coffee,
bananas, lumber, cotton, live stock
hides and sugar. To supply its own
needs, the country requires from
other nations, cotton goods, machin-
ery, tools, iron and steel products,
oil, chemicals, drugs, automobiles
and trucks.

ABOUT THE CARE OF YOUR CAR
Do you keep a written record, showing just what
your car will need, and when, to keep it in top
condition? Your Humble service man will do that
lor you, and remind you, when the time comes,

plug cleaning—all the things that mean more miles
of better service. This is no time to take chances on

about it. You’ll find him experienced, capable, and
anxious to help you. Many of die things he sug-
gests are free—and when your car needs service
which requires time and die use of equipment, hia

Keep Your Car RUNNING
There is no wiser course than to have your caF
reconditioned now, while most parts are available.
Worn parts should be replaced now, and the motor
should be checked thoroughly. A few parts put on
now will keep your car running for the next two
years, while neglect may cause it to be stored long be-
fore then. There are times, when the weather is bad,
or you need a doctor, or have to get to town or to a re-
lative’s home, when a car is almost essential. Keep
your car running for those emergencies. Take care of
it, as a patriotic duty.
