How many kisses do I ask?
Now you set me to my task.
First, my darling, will yon tell me.
How many waves are in the sea?
How muiy stars are in the sky?
How many lovers you make sigh?
How many sands are on the shore?
I shall want just one kiss more.

Super Highways
Liberate Caracas
From Mountains
Caracas (U.R) New super
highways are "liberating" this
beautiful capital of Venezuela
from the towering, majestic
mountains that surround it.
The new roads are part of
booming Venezuela's public
works program, in which $331,
000,000 was spent for new proj
ects in the past year. Besides
highways and bridges, these
projects ranged from slaughter
houses and sugar mills to vast
low-income apartment develop
ments designed to eliminate
slums.
Outstanding among roads com
pleted in 1955 is a $5,000,000
four-lane highway through the
mountains that separate Caracas
from a flourishing industrial and
farm region to the west.
Formerly, commerce between
the capital and the cities of Mar
acay, Valencia and Barquisimeto
was hampered by a winding
road that caused both delays
and accidents.
Also completed under this
year's program is the Autopista
del Este, an extension of the
$60,000,000 superhighway that
sweeps from La Guaira,- Vene
zuela's chief port, to Caracas.
This extension cuts through the
congested eastern part of Car
acas and speeds up travel from
the Caribbean coast to all parts
of the city.
Public Housing
These two routes, along with
a third being completed across
the mountains that wall in Car
acas to the south, have ' freed
most of the city from the isola
tion sought by its founders some
400 years ago.
But the oil-rich history of Ven
ezuela in the last two decades
changed all that. The cultural
and political capital of the coun
try also has become a teeming
industrial city with more than a
million inhabitants and aggra
vating traffic and housing prob
lems. With space getting scarce,
not only homes, but office build
ings are sprouting up on the
slopes of mountains to east and
west of the city.
One of the most impressive
new commercial structures com
pleted this year is the Esso
Building, occupied by the Creole
Petroleum corporation, a Stand7
ard Oil of New Jersey affiliate
and Venezuela's biggest oil pro
ducer. This year, 13 new low-income
structures with a total of 1,950
apartments, and 52 four-story
buildings of eight apartments
each were completed for the
housing of 11,800 persons living
in nearby slums. Altogether,
$43,000,000 was spent on low
rent housing in the past year,
the government report said.
