Bootblacks In Peru Are Proud Group LIMA, Peru The biggest bargain in Peru is the shoeshine, and Lima residents claim with pride that their city has the best shined shoes in Latin America. A shoeshine in Lima costs only seven cents for a production that may last 20 minutes or longer. The Peruvian shoeshine boy is a serious breed, proud of his work, and not in a hurry, even if the customers are lined up waiting their turn. Standard Set The trade, as it is passed down from generation to generation, often on the same street corner, recognizes as a standard three or four coats of shoe polish, shined between coats, and mixed with various secret homemade concoctions that add special lustres. Shoeshine carefully guard the formulas of their "special concoctions." bring out strange looking liquids in bottles, sprinkle a few drops on the top of a shoe, then quickly hide the bottles again.

Lima residents are proud ol their shoeshine boys, and a good "squeak" man will often draw an admiring audience. Work With While the famed American "Chattanooga shoeshine boy" of song shined shoes "with a boo- gie-woogie beat," Lima's shiners work to Latin rhythms, playing the rhythm on the shoe with their rags and filling in the beat! with "squeaks" made by pulling the rag against the shoe in certain way. The length of the shine often depends on the "squeaks" if the "squeaking" is especially musical, the pleased shoeshine hoy will keep shining long after the job is finished. And if a customer tries to leave before the craftsman considers himself finished with his work, he gets a sharp glance that puts i a in his chair. The shoeshine boy may be as voung as 8 or 9, or he may be grandfather.

a who have other jobs, take to the street corners with their homemade shoeshine stands in their spare time, to add to their income. But. whatever the age or regular profession of the shoeshine boy, most of their customers agree that they arc "artists." road construction, electrical and plumbing work, carpentry, dam repair and rcscreening the camp pavilion, The Seahces moved into Ihc area on one of the soggiest weekends of summer, July 11-13, They left their home base at the Troy Nivil Reserve Tnhilng Center on North Lake Avenue with the intention of developing team construction helping skills hand while lo worthy project. The major project undertaken was rehabilitation of the dam holding the camp's Lake Wanaka. Largely because of the improvements completed by the Seabees, particularly the dam repair, the camping program at the lake can now be resumed.

The camp will open for group camping for the remainder -jl the 1969 season and resident facilities will reopen next summer. In addition the Camp Fire operate a winter Girls sports program, making use of the lake. Various local groups, including Troy Kiwanis Club, Sand Lake Kiwanis and Poestenkill V.F.W., loaned or donated equipment and supplies for the weekend venture. Members of Poestenkill Fire Dept. prepared meals under the direction of Frank Bossidy, Bud Heffner, Leroy Carr and Steven Clemens.

(UPI) --An important part of the once- thriving railroad industry died here in June-with the closing of the coffee shop in the last Fred Fred Harvey railroad hotel. The Fred Harvey chain presently operates at some 50 locations in nine states, but the Territorial Spanish style Alvarado Hotel adjacent to the Santa Fe Railroad Depot in Albuquerkue was the last of the So-called "railroad" hotels which catered to rail passengers. The Alvarado was opened in along the Santa Fe lines by Fred Harvey, who emigrated to the United States from England in 1850. It was Harvey who first convolved the idea of providing rail passengers with first-class restaurants at depots instead of greasy lunch counters. He worked at several jobs before the concept germinated.

As western freight agent for the Chicago, Burlington and Qunicy, ic traveled extensively and 'ound out the hard way just! low bad food was at train stations. First Restaurants He and a man named Rice opened three restaurants along the Kansas a i i line, nit split up their successful nisiness because of a difference on expansion plans.

Burt Lucido believes it is a shame there is not a single giant panda in the United States, although the animals are available in the eastern i i a a foothills of China.

The giant panda was once thought to be a bear because it looked like a large black and i white bear to the French missionary, Pere A a David, who discovered the rare a i a while a i in southern Asia in 1869. Related To Itaccoon But the panda is really a relative of the raccoon. It grows lo a height of six feet and weight of 200 pounds. The a i a is a playful clown and a delight to 7.oo-goers. It cats only herbs, a i bamboo shoots.

Lucido, a publicist, wants to organize an expedition to study Ihc i a panda in their native a i a film them, and catch some to bring hack for American zoos. He believes the proj cet would pay for itself through sale, of the animals at $50,000 each. The last giant panda alive in the United States was Mei-Lan (Little Flower) in Chicago's Rronkficid Zoo. She died in 1953 at the age of .15. There is only one panda known in existence outside the Communist countries.

That is Chi-Chi ol the London Zoo. Possible Exchange Seen Lucido i the giant panda expedition might even he means of improving political re ations with Red China. The Chinese love animals and might glad to exchange a few giant pandas for species from North America. "Anyway," he says, "I think would he great to have a few of these beautiful-animal clowns or (he kids and adults to see when they go to the coo." He hopes (o interest zoologists and adventures In hit pan- It expedition. thought it was an intriguing proposition.

Offering excellent food on tables covered by white linen, served by young ladies in starched black skirls and white shirtwaists, the restaurants were an instant success. Planned Ahead Through the 1890s Harvey House restaurants a through Kansas, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona a California. conductor would poll the pass, engers miles before coming to a station to find how a wanted counter service and how many planned to eat in the dining- room, then telegraphed lhat information to the next Harvey House. When the train was about a mile away from the depot, the engineer blew his whistle to warn the restaurant, and by the time the train pulled in food was piled high on the tables.

As train speed increased it became impractical to have long food stops at depots so Harvey provided food service on the train. At one time the historic Alvarado's lunchroom served 1.000 hungry patrons a day. Now it is closed, hut the Alvarado remains open, a i of the glamorous past of the American railroad.
