Living from a suitcase, airplane weight, for eight months is non too easy. Nothing serious occurred to us on the entire trip except thai Dorothy had a "nigua" (ne gwa) which she contracted in Antigua, Guatemala This little parasitic animal of almost microscopic proportions burrows ii nests and reproduces, and unless removed, it continues to live ad infinitun Any native is well versed in the knowledge of how to remove them. There have been added to our mailing list some 250 names, as well a many government offices, societies and institutions. F r o m all these, we hav received excellent cooperation and assistance and we met many interestin and internationally known people. From San Salvador to Panama, we traveled by Pan American Airway stopping off at the capital of each succeeding country and working ( from there as a center. We have about decided that there is nothing mor pleasant and convenient than traveling by air. However our pilot, M Shepherd, who took us to the Maya ruins of Copan, smashed his plane m the jungles of Nicaragua and was killed recently. . | I found no fully trained librarians in Central America. This is an indication of the lack of emphasis on librarianship as a profession. Universities in the Central Americas, with the exception of the University of Panama, which has a liberal arts course, offer professional courses only—medicine, law, pharmacy, and engineering. Consequently none of these students are interested in| attending the library schools of our country, since when finishing their university work, they are ready to enter their chosen profession."
