Weather in Guatemala
Not for Conversation
By MARGARET SCHULER
Guatemala City, Guatemala
-As a subject for conversa
tional chit-chat, weather in
Guatemala is quite useless.
In our Oregon, we depend
on weather-it is unparalleled
in numberless conversation
all situations. We make small
introductory talk about weath
er; we even talk seriously
about it. It is interesting to
tell our friends that "Today is
really lovely,, isn't it?" or
"What a dreadful smog, yes-
terday-or rain or fog." It
pleasant to say "It's certainly
turned hot-or cold."
But you can't do that In
Guatemala because weather is
always the same-it is always
Spring. These poor people
have only two opportunities
in a year to be Interesting
about their climate-when the
rainy season ends, and the dry
season starts. Or vice versa.
For six months they have rain
and for six months they don't.
That is it.
Eternal Spring
In Guatemala there is no
beginning Spring, with open
ing buds, pussy willows and
May flowers; no Summer with
vacations at lakes or moun
tains; no Autumn for children
to wade in fallen leaves; no
beautiful white Winter with
snow and ice and fog. It is
just Spring. "Eternal Spring,"
they call it.
Guatemaltccas wouldn't ap
preciate the poem. "High on
a Windy Hill." There is no
wind. They couldn't possibly
understand "Seasons of mists
and mellow fruitfulness. "Jin
gle Bells" for them would
probably suggest little ice
cream wagons.
School children know the
lovely Spanish word "Prlme-
vcra"-Spring, and the others-
verano, otono, and Invlcrno.
But they don't experience the
meaning.
Docile Child
Guatemala is like a pleas
ant, docile child - doing the
right thing always, at the right
time. Even the rain is proba
bly the most accomodating
rain in the world. It comes
when you are led to expect it.
It comes and goes as agreed.
Even in the season of rain,
mornings are bright and clear.
About mid-day, fleecy clouds
start to arrive from all sides
of the heavens. They grow
bigger and bigger, change
from white to gray, and from
gray to charcoal. By after
noon they are ready for bus

"I doubt If you could find
an owner of her age who
knows as much," lie famed
trainer Capt. Cecil Boyd-
Roohforl has remarked
The Queen has won nearly
n half-million dollars In rac
ing purses In the Inst four
years. Stud fees from her
stallions have brought her niv
other $150,000.
Bleeders and horse owners
estimate that since sho lis
iness. As a warning - comes
first a few gentle drops. Then
like broken dams or gnrgnnt
nan tubs, they turn upside
down (and seemingly up) the
avenues, on their various
ways to the sea, to make more
clouds to burst. Occasionally
a sonic thunder blast tears
through the sky, and good
Christians cross themselves
and pray.
Just as suddenly It is over,
and In IS minutes pavements
will be almost dry, and as
clean as wax. Sometimes the
sun comes out for an hour or
two. But at intervals all
through the night comes the
same effect. Next morning
every morning-evcry day-for
six months this continues.
Sing In Rain
If you ever would have a
desire to sing In the rain, it
would be here. As it's a warm
rain, and there Is no wind, it's
almost cozy to wade In it.
When I was caught down in
the shopping district recently
and had scurried for shelter,
I saw an amusing sight - a
young Indian mother with her
big eyed child, sitting snugly
huddled against a wall, gnzlng
placidly at passcrsby, from
under a clear plastic sheet.
When I write all this about
climate, it is only from my
knowledge on the 3,000-foot
plateau, which Is Guatemala
City. Stretching along the
coast at sea level, where the
rich coffee grows, weather Is
another story I hear.

Even so she Is the first
reigning sovereign in Brit
ain's history not to have
shown 11 loss in horse racing.
Sources close to the royal
family deny that there Is any
serious tension or dlsngiee
nienl between Prlnco l'hlllp
and the Queen over racing.
Prince Leaves Races
It Is known, however, that
(ho Prince lefl (ho famed As
cot races early to attend his
own billiard tournament dur
ing the most recent gathering
of British society and racing
enthusiasts.
The Prince Is a royal family
joke when It comes to racing
mutters. For years he has
been considered the family's
racing jinx or hoodoo.
"If I turn up, you know
they'll lose," he once said to
Boyd-Rochfort.
In recounting the story
Boyd-Rochfort added:
"There seemed to be some
thing In It, loo, until Ascot
1957. I went up to hlni to
wards the end of the meeting
and said, 'Well there you are,
sir. It can't be your fault after
all1."
It wns the year the Queen's
prized Aureole won the King
George VI and Queen Eliza
beth slakes.
The Prince likes In partici
pate in a sport himself, rather
than watch others do it. He
has been seen many times to
to arrive at a racing meeting
with the Queen in the State
Landau only lo leave a few
minutes later in his car, usu
ally to play polo.
But like the Queen he loves
horses. Both love riding and
rarely a week end at Windsor
Castle passes without a gallop
through the estate's great
park.
Rides Since Three
The Queen has ridden
horses since she was three-years-old
when her grand
father George V gave her
Peggy, a Shetland pony.
Horses and racing and
breeding (hem Is a deeply
Ingrained part of the family
tradition.
Her father King George VI
once led the nation s horse
owners In prize money. Her
mother Dowager Queen Eliza
beth owns a small string of
horses and is an ardent race
goer. Her great-grandfather
King Edward VII was reputed
to be as good a Judge of
horseflesh as he was of beau
tiful women.
Racing, show-Jumping, rid-
ing, inc wnnic worm oi mc
horse are Queen Elizabeth's
favorite relaxation. But she
never bets. It Is the horses
themselves, their capabilities j
and potentialities to which
her passion is attached. 1
Close beside her desk the 1
queen keeps a stud-book con
taining the pedigrees of 42,-1
300 racehorses. She buys and
studies documentary movies I
