Entrants Take Part
In Water Parade
Miami Beach, Fla. -flIPD-The
84 entries in the Miss Uni

opening at Convention Hall.
A crowd of 3,300 persons
turned out.
Parade Down Ramp
The girls, wearing clothes
native to their home environ

ramp which jutted out over
the spectators.
Miss Tennessee, Christine
McSwain of Jefferson City,
was barefoot, hillbilly style.
Miss Arizona, Virginia Lee
Crook of Phoenix, wore a
six-shooter, and Miss Ohio,
Corrine Huff, 19, from
Youngstown, wore an iron
worker's helmet.
Most of the foreign entrants
are proficient in English, in
cluding Ingrum Moeckle, Miss
Germany, who was indirectly
involved in a skirt-lifting in
cident at Silver Springs, Fla.
A busload of girls had
stopped there en route to

know more about your edu
cation
Many persons have told me
tliut you believe that we arc
here, short ol means, or we
are behind the advance of the
civilization. You are not right.
You believe too that wo are
like the Indians; we are not
may be you think we can't
wear clothes? That's not true.
. I want to explain to you
that here we have some beau
tiful buildings and we have
museums and you can see
there many things about the
sciences and arts, you can
study them; there are many,
many curious things.
If you want, we can send
you some books, or we can
write you some letters to ex
plain to you something about
our education and our civili
zation. I want you to write us, be
cause we want to have some
North American friends. And
I think this Is the better way
to know more about you, and
I hope that you will have our
same wishes. i
I think the United States
must be a beautiful country
and one of the most high up
in the world.
I hope I will go there some
day. Your friend, Carmen Salmeron.
Dear Friends:
This just a friendly letter
to let you know what I think
about American ways of edu
cation. I lived among you for
many years, in fact I wa3
brought up by your ways. Be
lieve me, it cost me many
troubles when I came back.
I was free to do what I please,
but here that isn't so.
Our ways of education are
more advanced than yours.
When I came back they would
not accept my American edu
cation because It isn't as hard
as ours. That was a year ago
and they put me back two
years and then that as a big
favor because my father was
a friend of the Minister of
Public Education. I couldn't
go into a university with the
high school, but I can go into
a university here and in the
States with our system of ed
ucation.
When I told from where I
came, they would ask me so
many silly questions: like if
I went home in a helicopter,
or about the change from my
Guatemalan dresses into
American clothes. You really
have to learn about our own
America. It's a shame that
living so near you, you don't
know about us.
Well, I hope that In the
future we will have better
understandings about these
things that are so important
Please write back and tell me
what you think about my
country. Your friend, Rosario
de Leon (age 14).
