The Bend Bulletin, Saturday, Dee. 23, 1961 Traffic signal replaces 'Santa' LAS PALM AS, Canary Islands (UPD The Christmas spirit used to be evident here even though swimmers cavorted in the surf under sunny skies in December. Gregorio Betancourt, a local policeman who was famous for his kindness while directing traf fic at one of this city's busiest intersections, was responsible for much of the Yuletide spirit. On Christmas Eve, hundreds of motorists would converge on the intersection, bringing presents which were stacked up in a huge pile around Betancourt to thank the policeman for his kindness and good manners. Betancourt then would make the rounds of the city's poorer districts, distributing his gifts to the poor. However, this year the ritual of Christmas goodwill has been can celed. Betancourt was replaced by a traffic light COMMITTEE FINDS TROUBLE RENO, Nev. (UPI) - A com mittee circulating petitions has discovered Christmas time is not the season to recall public offi cials.

'Enclaves' pose WASHINGTON (UPD India's seizure of Portuguese Goa left tlie map with only a dozen such for eign pockets within tlie borders of sovereign nations, the National Geographic Society reported to day. But exactly what kind of ter ritory Goa was before tlie Indian army invaded it last week is a difficult question, even for the geographers of tlie National Geo graphic. News reports from the scene and the society's press release re fer to the former colony as an "enclave," which Mr. Webster de fines as a tract of land sur rounded by the territory of an other nation. . Mr. Webster also gives this same definition to the world "exclave." According to one geographer, writing for tlie society almost two years ago, tlie experts recognize normal exclaves, pene-exclaves, quasi-exclaves, virtual exclaves and temporary exclaves. According to this geographer, there were only four exclaves in the world in 1959 and Goa was not on his list. The four bits of land, all under 10 square miles and with fewer than 1,500 people. us if.

They were: Baarle, a Belgian town in Holland; Campione, an Italian town in Switzerland; Llivia, a Spanish town in France, and Busingen, a German town in Switzerland. The expert said exclaves were as old as tlie Middle Ages and at one time were the rule rather than the exception. A pene-exclave, the society re ported, is a part of one country that can be approached conven iently only through another coun try. Quasi - exclaves are exclaves which do not function, virtual ex claves are areas like the Vatican which are treated as exclaves but aren't, and temporary exclaves are territories like West Berlin, Both the American State Depart ment and the British Colonial Of fice get huffy these days when you mention the words enclave or exclave in connection with the Panama Canal Zone or Hong Kong.
