LIFEjNMEXICO
Restaurant Owners Happy
But Taxicab Drivers Be
moan Government Decree
By Edward L. Thomai
United Press Correspondent.
Mexico City (U.R) Taxicab
drivers are weeping, restaurant
owners are gleefully contem
plating new business and Juan
Public appears to have suffered
a stiff blow to the digestive
system as a result of a govern
ment decree which outlaws the
time-honored custom of taking
a two or three hour "siesta" at
midday.
The "siesta" a combination
of resting and eating will dis
appear from the Mexican way
of life on June 1 for all of
the 2,000,000 inhabitants of the
Federal District.
The substitution of "horas
corridas" (literally, continuous
hours), with a half to an hour
off for lunch, as of June 1,
was decreed because the prac
tice has proved beneficial to the
populations in almost every city
of the world.
Blow To Taxi Trade
But the "libre" (taxi) driver
looks to It as a blow to his
midday trade, when workers
ordinarily would go home to
lunch. The restaurant owners,
already doing more midday
business than they ever en
joyed before, will now have
the job of feeding many more
thousands of mouths.
Juan Public is faced with the
task of trying to. gulp down his
usual five-to-seven-course mid-

after work to devote himself to
cultural and athletic pursuits
and to strengthening the family
ties.
It begins to appear as though
Juan Public will have no other
course .than to modify his at
lng habits to conform with the
new law that is, eat a bit more
for breakfast, considerably less
than he does for lunch and vio
late all the rules of eating at
this high altitude (7,500 feet)
by eating an American-sized
supper.
The impossibility of attemptr
ing to pack a typical Mexican
'lunch" into a lunchbox is fa
miliar to anyone who has tried
to down one of these long
winded affairs from rice to
beans.
All-Day Shopping
The government decree de
clared it "of public interest"
that dining halls and recreation
rooms be established on the
premises of banks, business
houses, factories, etc., affected
by the decree. But it appeared
doubtful that the employers
could construct adequate lunch
rooms for employees in crowd
ed downtown Mexico City by
June 1.
Thus, the abolishing of the
siesta a firmly entrenched cus
tom in Mexico since the Aztecs
held the whip hand promises
to revolutionize the Mexican
way of life.
One effect of the decree that
will undoubtedly be accepted
with enthusiasm by the thou
sands of American tourists that
flock Into the capital every
week is he fact that they will
be able to shop all day long,
Just as though they were at
home. Mexico City shops will
no longer lower the steel cur
tains in front of the display
windows between 1 p. m. and
3 p. m. every afternoon.
Travel agencies must rewrite
many of their handbooks, delet
ing the tempting references to
the delightfulness of the siesta.
