I: Haiti's popularity as a source
of inspiration for magazine writ-
ers and novelists has risen sharp-
ly in recent years, attracting ma-
ny of the most prominent mem-
bers of the journalistic and lite-f

unique country.
Among the famous visitors to
be seen in Haiti sces jours-cio are

.Music is one of the greatest

-And they have such a wonder-
ful sense of rhythm !,
Unfortunately, the opportunity
for making use of this latent talent
has not yet been fully opened to
the 185 little boys and girls at the
school, run by the Sipters of Saint
Margaret, of Boston, with an all-
'Hattian teaching staff.
Impromptu plays, rythmic dan-
ces, choral presentations are fre-
:;ucntly organized at the school,
but music reading and instrumen-
tal training have been neglected.

mentary Brevet I at' a nominal

reason to be, a' motive for belief in the Haitian Man. This land which
was to them a living Hell to whith they were bound by chains, which-i
they fertilized with their sweat, tears and blood, has been willed to
us through homeric struggles accounts of which-make us quiver even
today, so that. we might defend it and improve it making it worthy
of thesacrifices which our forefathers made.
Of what importance is it th.t the harvest has been slow in coming,
what does it matter if during the course of the ages we have many
times'failed to make use of this precious legacy? Always protecting
shadows have -ppeared in time to save us from destruction and to
bring forth men capable of reviving the flame which was only veiled.
The lessons of history ard rich in experiences. sometimes deceptive,
sometimes encouraging; We ha'e proved it during our five years of
Governmental administration. And without ever allowing ourselves to
be distrubed by the bitter disillusionment which constantly assails the
soul of a Chief of State. we have always chosen to confront them with
a little of the courage which our ancestors sho%%ed in times past, apply-
ing ourselves to the discovery of the solutions to the age old problems
{ our people whom v.'w ha'e decided to lead forth from the clutches

liieh we have undertaken, to impress on,hearts and minds the need
io renewing the discipline and sense of moral values which will give
10 our birth and life as a people a halo of grandeur and immortality.
':. And it is because we know that it is not only the power of arms or
economic factors which determine the destiny of nations that on this
very dear date of the first of January, in memory of the Fathers of
'thb Nation, we plead with you, people of H-:iti, to continue to guard
those immaterial strengths: Unity, Co-operation and Peace in the breast
of the .taitian Family.
nain, Center Back and Captain
of the St. Louis team, climaxed
in excellent performance by
blasting home an equaliser after
dribbling through a regiment of

stronger in positional play, drib-

wvas taken completely, by surprise
wheen St. Louis took ovr the game
from the whistle.
Ending the match with a 1-9
score (Romain from a penalty )
St. Louis proved cleaner, finer
ootballers,and better sportsmen,
n spite of the generally good
behavious of the boys from Kings-
on.
For this match very few chan-
ges had been made in the teams,

was obvious.

Report
A CAP HAITIEN DOCTOR, not notably given to amorous escapades,
Found himself out of 'his depth in hot water the week before Christmas
beca-use of a mysterious telegramme... The missive, received at the
doctor's home by his wife (and opened), read ,approximately): DAR-
LING YOU MUST SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH ME WAITING ON YOU
LOVE KISSES and was signed by a woman... Mrs. Doctor waited for
her husband to come home from the hospital, latched on to an ear
and towed him down to the cable office where she berated him and the
telegraph operators, punctuating her abuse with right crosses to her
* astonished husband's chin... Two days later the wireless boys found
they .had" erred and sent the cable to the wrong doctor because his
first name was the same as the surname of a new colleague..... The
telegramme was addressed to a bachelor Dr ......... and only the fatal

sales in the newer line have al-

Another reason for the increas-

By Mary Johnson
Gaiety is keynote of night
life in Port-au-Prince. the
gay sophistication of A New
World Paris underlined by the
hypnotic beat of African tam-
bours.
And in keeping with its
French tradition the accent is
on good food in a romantic at-
mosphere. Few places in the
world can offer 'a more enticing
blend of these two elements
than Le Perchoir, Haiti's smart-
est restaurant that hovers 3,000
Kfeet' above Port-au-Prince and
its emerald bay. Guests during
tea and cocktail hour have a
front row seat at one of the most
bewitching settings ever pro-
vided for a tropical sunset.
Then the lights go on and the
curving bayshorit is outlined in
-a necklace of shimmering
pearls. On ..the breezeswept
terrace, guests can watch cars
atop at the Dominidan border
20 miles away.
Whether it's a thick state-
Aide steak or an ethereal Rum
Gouffle, Le Perchoir food is
superbly prepared and elegant-
ly served. F6lix Gu:gn.ard and
'uis orchestra provides music for
dancing.
The International Casino, a
swank establishment run by a
staff imported from Monte-
Carlo, is one of the major
points of interest during the
summer and winter tourist sea
sons. There one can dine or.
excellent Italian food and later
visit the gaming tables which
are meticulously run under the
supervision of the Haitian Go
vernment. On the bay side,
an orchestra bea:s out rhum-
bas, mambos and romantic Hai-
tian meringues for dancing un-
der the twinkling stars.
Near the Casino in the bree-
ze-wvept Exposition Grounds
is the Open Air Theatre de
Verdure where' visitors can
attend the bi-weekly shows put
on by ihe talented National
Folklore Troupe.
Around the curve of the bay
is the newly remodeled Hotel
Riviera with its huge "air-con
ditioned Bamboche Room and
circular bar. The bar's Fevol
ving center serves as the stage
for Miclhel Dsgrottes tri-lin

special dinner dansants once or
twice a week. Visitors should
not miss an opportunity to hear
Haiti's internationally known
male Dejean Choir which per-
forms at Hotel Ibo Lele on Fri-
day evenings during the Sea-
son. The El Rancho'features Ti
Ro Ro, Haiti's number one dru-
mmner, and members of the Na-
tional Folklore Troupe on
Friday evening and other spe-
cial dance nights which vary
according to the season. Hotel
Dambala has a Saturday night
chicken barbeque beside its illu-
minated pool, with and orches-
tra providing music for outdoor
dancing on its marble patio. The
Villa Creole's Big Night is
Thursday evening with a Hai-
tian Buffet served beside its

decor and, of course, dancing.
The roof garden at Hotel Chou-
coune is open for dinner dan-
cing Monday and Wednesday
nights during the season.
On Saturday evening Petion-
ville's thatched-roofed night
clib, Cabane Choucoune, is the
mecca of the Capital Elite and
vL-itors. Alternating orchestras
throb with the rhythm of the
Haitian Me'ingue, a dance so
simple that visitors need spend
no time on the side lines just
looking on. Though this has
long been the society gathering

pr" r V you really
':. "' want to" bee
^..ome acquain-
ed with Hai-
"Ii thete are
many intere-
[f sting trips
H-. JU which, afford
a close-up of
-- ~ Haitian life
which you cannot gain if you
confine your sight-seeing to the
city.
Most of these trips can be
made in conventional automo-
biles, others require the more
versatile jeep to navigate the
rough spo:s and river crossings.
All o'f them can be made in sa-
fety.
There is a Hertz-Drive-it
Yourself Agency in town where
you can rent a car or a jeep at
reasonable rate; or you can
rent cars, with or without
chauffers, elsewhere. The Hai-
tian Air Force provides safe
and efficient air transport to
most important points in Haiti
at very rearonnable rates. Ask
yuur hotel manager or your
travel agent for details.
Each of these trip- has its

for the jaded characters who
have not strayed fhorn the bar
since you left... A.d, of course,
you vwll have a good reserve of
conversational aninunition to
last you for many months.
So, starting with the shortest
,'ips first, here are a few, boiled
Iown suggestions for travel in
Hlaiti:
BOUTILLIERS MOUNTAIN
AND LE PERCHOIR
(Ler Pcrshawh) The Perch)
The most spectacular view in
Haiti: 2,000 square miles of
Haiti spread out before'you -
a miracle of co'-or, form, sun-
light 'and shadow! Port-au-Prin-
ce lies at your feet (3.000 feet
below) like a giant map. To get
to this breath-taking, unbelie-
eable and unforgettable view
)u ride 10 miles from Port-au-
Prince, through the pretty little
*own of Petionville, then up a
findingg mountain road, borde-
red by flaming giant pointsetta
plants. You p:'ss the thatched
roof habitations of peasants and
arrive in rural Haiti, where life
goes on as it has for centuries
as if the city below did not
exist. LE PERCHOIR, modern
oasis on the mountain, offers
the facilities of its restaurant
-and night club, its Terrace Bar,
and its branch of La Belle Cre-
ole Gift Shop to make the trip
even more enjoyable and profi-
table. After sundown light
wraps advisable, and gentlemen
are asked to wear coats in the
restaurant. after 7 p. m. Allow
two hours for this trip plus
tim& to eat.
CAP-HAITIEN
AND LA CITADELLE
This trip is an experience in
history and geography.. It is an
adventure and a pilgrimage
which you must not miss.
Vt, A"-.
If you have the time, we re-
commend that you .take three
days and gn' to Cap-Haitien by
car. Its about 170 miles and a
minimum of 5 or 6 hours, but
you should take about hours
to enjoy .it most. So to one of
Cap HaYitien's comfortable ho-
tels. For the night, go to the
Citadelle the next day, retur-
Sning to Port-au-Prince the third
day. Eevry mile and every
hour of this trip will be full of
unforgettable impresasions.
If you are pressed for time,
you can fly to the Cape in' 45
minutes, and can make the en-
tire pilgrimage in a single day.
JACMEL.-
If you want another ti
the-beaten track go to J
on Haiti's south coast. J
once a flourishing towi
has a considerable expo
siness, but is typical of

Encouragement Given Bourdon Hlosl
As Cold Public Reception Threatens
The note of encouragement evi-
dent in the President's speech
to the doctors assembled at the
National PaIl:ce last Tuesday for
the inauguration of the Port au
Prince Medical Congress i; ex-
pected to olay an important r6le
in the fluctuating history of a
projected modern, scientifically-
equipped hospital at Bourdon
Gros-Morne)
Ever since early, August, when
twenty-nine doctors representati-
ve of Haiti's rriost advanted medi-
cal practitioners first broached
their plan for a 100-bed private
hliospital in the fashionable su-
b uh ,f Fou c au Prince, difficul-
ties have beret the animators of
the project.
In .pite of a fervent appeal
launched at the Club Internatio-
nal de Commterce Wednesday Au-
gust 10, by Dr. Georges Hudi-
court, the reception in business
circles has been lukewarm.
President Magloire led the bid-
ding for shares with a personal
$1,000 interest, and other promi-
nent businessmen also bought
shares. But many members of
the commercial world refused td
co-operate.
Even among the doctors who
originally united to carry out
the plan the necessary determilna-
tion and singleness of purpose ap
peared to be lacking.
Albert Mangones architect
charged with designing the build-
ing, wrote in the December 24th-
issue of ,Reflets d'Haitih:
,Npbody can think seriously of
urbanism without considering in
a special way the problems of pu-
blic health and hygiene.
(,The lamentable state of our
hospitals, a physical, concrete and
undeniable reality, ist he faith-
ful mirror nf the political imma-
turity, economic stagnation and
archaic social structure of the
country. It is in countries which
2njoy a considerable degree of
socialism that 'problems of pre-
ventative medicine and hospitali-
sation are considered effective-
ly, a, primary question, essen-
tially related to the programme
and responsibilities of the State.
, '.Indeed, is it not Sweden, a
socialised --untry, that, to date,
is b" far the most advanced Wes-
tern nation, the nation whose ge-
neral and specific conditions of
public health are without doubt
far above :hose of say the
United States ?
SIt is not through coincidence
that Sweden is also the country
with the most advanced degree
of urbanistic organization and
scientific precision in the Occi-
dent. This doiible ascendency is
the positive expression of the
close interdependence of the two
fields of public health and urba-
nism.
,kWithout trying to be'funny, one
may say that by contrast, our dou
ble deficiency in these fields is
the negative expression of the
same precept: no urbanism ser-
vice, no urban planning; no hos-
pitals, no clear, long-term pro-
gramme of progressive organliza-
tion of public health.
,These 'thoughts of a general
itl Builder I stressed at the beginning of
