Dedication of the Chilean Pa vilion at the New York World’s Fair, on Sunday, May 21, marks the first official public appear ance of Alberto Cabero, the new Chilean Ambassador to the United States. Ambassador Cabero, who has just arrived in the United States to take up his new duties in Washington, will be the princi pal speaker at the dedicatory ceremonies. The* Chilean Pavilion, a gleam ing structure of steel, glass and concrete, occupies 24,000 square feet of landscaped area in the colorful Court of Nations. An T- shaped structure, two complete faces of the Chilean Pavilion are mirrored in a beautiful crystal- clear pool, and through wide oanes two stories in height, a giant mural painting by the Chil ean artist, Camilo Mori, is clearly visible from outside the building. Of course, Natural Chilean Ni trate of Soda is an important part of the Chilean Pavilion. This natural product, used in Southern agriculture for more than one hundred years, is a major product of Chile. The significance of the natural origin of Chilean Nitrate is cleverly and interestingly em- pin asized. Visitors to the Chilean Pavilion v ‘-1 meet two old friends, Uncle F tchel and Sonny. These two characters, who in newspapers, fc'm papers, over the radio, and on calendars, have been featured in t* •» advertising of Natural Chilean Fi irate of Soda,^ire present in F ?-size figures Wnich occupy an important soot in the ground floor cf the Pavilion.

Oa. which new screening has been installed was 6. “The importance of a safe water supply and effective screen ing cannot be stressed too much”, said Mr. Hanvey. “Good water is essential to health and, along with screening, is a basic step in our fight against typhoid, dysen tery, malaria, and other diseases borne by water and insects. Such diseases, by their prevalence and long duration, have greatly re duced the ability of a large per centage of our rural families to make a living. “In this county last ye?.r 10 wells used by rehabilitation fami lies were dug or repaired, with the new wells being located after consideration of distance from the house and barn lot, as they will be convenient and reduce labor, and with respect to drainage sc* the water will not become con taminated.” a Mr. Hanvey also pointed out that keeping the premises clean was emphasized as a factor in protecting the health of the fam ily, as well as adding to the at tractiveness of the surroundings. This has been followed up in many instances by the planting of flowers, shrubs and grass about the house, and others who have not yet improved their places in this manner plan to do so. In connection with the sanita tion activities of the FSA, which are carried out in general coop eration with the local county health unit, borrowers are shown the best methods of handling milk and other foods so the health of the family may be safe guarded. txi For Best Prices on’ Cattle, Hogs, and Calves, see J.
