ver and guide, Mr. and Mrs. B. C.
Wooldridge, Sr. Mrs. Wooldridge,
Sr., acting a-, guide, gave a short
preview of the tour. Her remarks
and vivid description helped the
travelers feel the atmosphere of
our neighboring country south of

places to be seen. Mr. Wooldridge,
Sr., showed movies made on their
trip into the interior of Mexico
last summer. During the stop-over
for lunch, Mrs. Howard Dye sang
"South of the Border," accompanied
by Mrs. Chester Carr on the piano.
Mrs. Carr played several appro-
priate selections. At each plate
wore laid hand-made folders, de-
signed with a colorful sombrero
and serape headed by the word
"Amigos", meaning "Friends." They
contained the printed program and
menu of "Arros con Polio", (a
chicken and rice dish), Chili, Fri-
joles, Ensalada de avacado, Tortil-
las, Pan, Postre, Dulce, Cafe y leche.
Continuing the program, the
tourists "boarded" a Pan American
Ktrato Cruiser, with Mrs. Newton
Harrell as guide and pilot, who
briefed the passengers on the next
leg of the journey. She showed mo-
vies of a conducted tour of South
America which she and Mr. Harrell
along with other ranchers, made
two years ago.
Mrs. B. C. Wooldridge, Jr., pre-
sented a box of pralines to each
in | guest speaker as an expression of
appreciation from the society, con-
cluding with the words "Hasta J
Manana," meaning "I'll see you
later."
