. Madrid - (UPD - Stretched
cross the western end of the
blue Mediterranean like
tanned bull's hide is Spain,
country with some of the tall'
est buildings and one of the
lowest standards of living in
Europe. It has more reliance
on agriculture than nearly
anv other European country.
Althoueh 8.8 million tour
lsts-more than one tourist for
every three Spaniards-visited
Ihe country last year, span
remains for much of the West
ern world a land of mystery
and paradox,
Sharing the Iberian penin
ula with Its small sister na
tion of Portugal, Spain his
torically is set apart from
other European nations by the
formidable Pyrenees mouiv
tains which form about one-
third of the country s nortn.
em frontier with France. The
only other land border Spain
has Is the one it shares with
Portugal. The Atlantic Ocean
and the Mediterranean Sea
form the remaining bound'
aries.
Included In Territory
In addition to the mainland
Spanish territory includes the
balmy Balearic islands oi me
Mediterranean, one of .u
rope's most popular tourist
areas, and the Canary Islands
off the northwest coast of
Africa (once known as the
"fortunate islands" because of
their mild climate), the Span
Jsh portion of the Sahara
Desert. Bnd other smaller pos
sessions in north and west
central Africa.
With its area of 194,368
square miles, Spain is slightly
larger than the state or call'
fornia, and in many ways its
Keography is similar. Both
California and Spain have
predominantly mild climates,
large mountainous and aria
or semi-arid areas, long sea
coasts, resonably good fishing
banks and a scattering of fer
tile valleys peculiarly suited
to fruit growing, vegetable
farming and wine-producing.
Spain's population total of
SO.430,698, spread out over an
area only slightly smaller
than that of France (which
has roughly SO per cent more
population), leaves tha Span
ish countryside with many
wildly beautiful open spaces.
No Racial Difference
There are almost no clear
cut Tacial differences in the
Spanish population: The peo
ple of this country are a mix
ture ot descendants of stone-1
age Iberians, Celts, Phoeni
cians, Greeks, Romans, Ary
ans and Arabs. The only peo
ples who preserve some de
gree of racial individuality
are the Gypsies, who general
ly marry other Gypsies, and
the tall burly Basques of
northern Spain.
The nation's economy, his
torically based on agriculture,
Is beginning to change now.
Spain's principal exports are
still agricultural products, al
though the country earned
more foreign currency last
year through tourism than
through Its traditional major
exports ot citrus fruits and
Olive oil.
Because of the emphasis on
agriculture and the poor av-

RELIES ON AGRICULTURE This UPI
newsmap shows Spain, a country which has
some of the world's most modern buildings,
but places more reliance on agriculture than
nearly any other European country. (UPI)
erage productivity of the land
most of Spam s rural popula.
tion is extremely poor. Their
per capita annual income is
below the already low nation'
al average of about $300. Yet
60 per cent of Spain's popula
tion lives outside its cities.
One reason for the low per
centage of arable land in
Spain is the mountainous na
ture of the terrain. The aver
age altitude is second in Eu,
rope only to that of Switzer
land.
Although Spain's industry
is growing rapidly, largely as
result of government eco
nomic planning and foreign
id and investments, many
manufactured goods are still
in short supply, forcing the
government to control im
ports tightly in order to con
serve needed foreign ex
change currency.
.The modern Spain is ex
emplified by the Torre de
Madrid, a 34-story skyscraper
in the heart of Madrid. It is
the tallest reinforced concrete
structure on the continent.
The still uncompleted Avilcs
power dam on the Portuguese
border will be Europe s big
gest single electric power pro
ducer.
In contrast, however, to the
beautiful modern buildings in
the cities and the coastal reg
ions, which are the only parts
of Spain most tourists see, are
the simple adobe houses in
small villages in which most
Spaniards dwell.
There are at least five dis
tinct languages spoken in
Spain, plus many more dia
lects. Nevertheless everyone
understands the official lan
guage, Castilian Spanish,
which is taught in all the
schools.

Request for Zone Change Is
Approved by Medford Planners
A request for a change of
zone which will permit con
struction of a service station
at the corner of McAndrews
and Biddle rds. was approved
by a 5 to 2 vote at the Thurs
day night meeting of the
Medford planning commis
The request was submitted
by Ray Dahl, 787 Ellendale
dr., who told the group thai
two gasoline companies were
interested in the 70 by 250-
foot parcel of property. Dahl
holds an option on the land
Opposition to the request
was voiced by Commissioner
Wayne Struble, who said he
was concerned about the dif
ficulty of restricting commer
cial zoning to the intersec
tion area if the zone change
were granted. He pointed out
that there was a school with
in 3 or 4 blocks and that there
were a number of single fam
ily residences nearby on Bid-
die rd.
Opposed to One Side
"We have opposed rezonin
to commercial on the west
side of Biddle rd.," he said,
we should be against it
on the east side, too."
It was pointed out, how
ever, that in a Biddle Koacl
policy statement drawn up
last year, the McAndrews and
Biddle rd. Intersection had
been recommended for com
mercial zoning, a"d that such
zoning be limited to "that
property lying within about
200 feet o the intersecting
right-of-way lines."
Struble was joined by Com
mijision Chairman Elwood
Hedberg in voting against the
request, which will now go
before the city council at its
July 18 meeting for final ac
tion. Other Agenda Items
In other agenda items, the
council voted to:

for property located at
1925 Crcstbrook rd.

Why is our nose so stubby?
The VW doesn't need a long front hood be
cause the engine's in back of tHe car.
This gives you a couple of advantages over
the long-nosed jobs.
Obviously, it makes for a shorter cor.
So you can move in and out of traffic. And in
ond out of tight tittle parking spots;
Your chances of denting a fender in the process
ore practically nil, too. Because the VWs short
hood lets you look right down your nose at the
rood.
The point is this: Everything on the VW t$ thers
for a reason. Including our changes.
Unless you've nosed Ground VWs for years,
you may not be aware of things like our fully
synchromesh transmission.
Or our quieter, more powerful engine.
Or our 3,012 other inside improvements.
-On the face of it, the VW looks the samei
underneath, it's changed. .
Which is one reason the VW depreciates so
little and stays in style year after year.
Nose and all.
