Teacher Visits Spanish Museums (Editor's Note: Dick Car ter, Medford, foreign lan guage instructor at Hedrick Junior High school, has been In Madrid, Spain, where he was enrolled in the Eurocenter Language institute, studying the Span ish language. He was among other teachers in this country selected for the lan guage and culture tour in Spain through the Ameri can Heritage association. My month-long stay in Ma drid was marked by a series of visits to art museums, thea ters, and sidewalk cafes, not to mention the four and six hours of classes each day ex cept Sunday at the Mangold Language institute there. Most notable among the museums was El Prado with its thou sands of paintings by such greats as Goya, Velazquez, Rubens and Van Breughel. It's no wonder that the Eu ropeans are more up on classi cal art than we are when they have so many originals close at hand. Madrid is a good place to set up headquarters and then take side trips from there to other interesting parts of Spain. The people in my group from Oregon went one day to Toledo, another day to Segovia, and another day to El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen. I was most im pressed with the last mention ed which is a memorial and tomb for the dead on both sides in the Spanish Civil War. Here a huge chapel and catacombs are carved out in side a stone mountain. The cross-shaped chapel extends 900 feet into the mountain and has dome-shaped ceilings at least 40 feet high. On the peak of the mountain above the chapel there is a concrete cross which stands 500 feet high. Building Is Old El Escorial is a short drive from the Valley of the Fallen. This huge grill shaped build ing was built about 400 years ago as a monastery, a tomb for Spanish royalty, and an art museum. It also served Phillip II as a retirement home. His quarters are intact as they were when he died. They are quite austere and a real contrast to the ornate tombs, crypts and caskets in Women Return From Trip South Montague Mrs. Harold Coatney and Mrs. Dl Raver recently returned from a week's trip to Los Angeles. Mrs. Coatney was a guest of her brother and family, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Rowe, former ly of Montague, while Mrs. Raver visited several nieces. The travelers also took in the sights at Disneyland, Marine- land, Knott s Berry Farm and the wax museum. Ball Planned Talent-The Talent City Fire department is sponsoring a Fireman's ball on Saturday, August 31, at the Talent City Hnll according to Fire Chief Ihomas white. the cellar where he and his relatives are now resting. What the building lacks in style it makes up for in im mensity and is certainly worth seeing. From Madrid we traveled across La Mancha, Don Quix ote's territory, to Valencia, Our train seats were first class for the eight-hour ride, and the scenery was terrific. Just outside of Madrid we saw farmers threshing wheat in the ancient method of let ting mules pull a drag over it to separate the kernels, then tossing it in the air by hand to let the wind blow away the chaff. Farther on, we saw hundreds of square miles of grape vines. I've heard that water is so scarce in Spain and wine so plentiful that they sometimes use wine in stead of water in making mor tar for houses. Seeing all those grapevines in La Man cha in all that dry country made me believe the story. Close to Valencia we began to see orange groves. Many of these were on terraced hillsides with a row of trees on each terrace. I thought of how the people at home might do that with pear trees if they ever ran short of flat land. On the plains near Valencia there were small plots of corn, on ions, and oranges, many of which are being irrigated from the same ditches and canals built by the Moors of Africa as much as a thousand years ago. Valencia Interesting Valencia was interesting to me because of the legend of El Cid. Many people at home saw the movie of the name when it came through there last year. Two of the city gates and part of the walls that El Cid defended in the eleventh century are still standing. Between the ancient gates, the horse-drawn carts and the scenery at the beach, Valencia is a photographer's paradise. Despairing of trying to see all of Europe in the two weeks left to me here on the Continent, I chose instead to go where many Europeans go on vacation. The place I chose was Ibiza, the smallest of the Spanish Balearic islands in the Mediterranean. Plane fare was only about $5 from Va lencia. Once there, I found a cot in the hallway of a small hotel for 33 cents a night. It being the tourish season, I felt lucky to find that. After a couple nights a bunk be came vacant in a room with two Spanish workmen. The room was so small that we had to take turns using the floor space to dress and un dress. There are a couple big ger and more expensive hotels in the town of Ibiza and there are others in some of the oth er small towns on the island. These hotels too, however, were quite crowded. American Minority The Americans were in a real minority on the island. Most of my friends there were young people from Eng land, France and Spain. There were also many Dutch, Bel gians and Germans on the island, but they seemed to keep more to themselves. It's a great place for a student of foreign languages. The wait ers in the restaurants speak at least five languages each by having been exposed to the different tongues and by having an economic purpose for learning them. My friends would communicate alter nately in English, French and Spanish. I was left out on the French but I made up for it by conversing in Russian with a young Frenchman of White Russian ancestry who spoke no English. It finally came time for me to leave Ibiza and come to Barcelona. A number of my friends from there were tak ing the ship to Barcelona, so I decided to do the same. Third class passage cost me about $3 for the 13 hour trip. I had a bunk in a compart ment with four bunks in it, but I spent most of my time up on deck playing a guitar and singing with a crowd of young Englishmen. Many of them were well up on Ameri can folk songs. The sea was as smooth as glass and the moon lighted everything like a neon bulb. It was with weary but reluctant feet that I finally went below for a few hours sleep. Check Cashed In Barcelona I spent a frantic half day trying to cash a check before the banks clos ed. It seems that the banks of Barcelona have not heard of the banks of Oregon, and even a certified check means noth ing. Finally, after a trip to the American consul, I was sent to a bank that believed there was such a place as Oregon and knew what a certified check was. Yesterday I spent the first half day visiting the Cathe dral of the Sacred Family which is now about one-quarter finished and has been un der construction now for over 80 years. Even in its present state, it is one of the most grandiose and weird buildings I've ever seen. It has four con ical bell towers with spiral bracing made entirely of cut stone and standing 580 feet high. About two-thirds of the way to the top, I discovered I had a fear of heights. The towers are so narrow, and the spiral staircase so steep, that I would challenge anyone not to start thinking of earth quakes, windstorms, and feel ing a bit of vertigo in the ascension. I'd like to come back here in about another 80 years and see how the build ing has come along. They may even have the nave finished by then. I spent yesterday afternoon soaking up an atmosphere of history on board the Santa Maria here in Barcelona's harbor. This replica of Co lumbus' flagship was built in 1951 and is reputedly exact down to the smallest detail. In inspecting the captain's cabin I expected to see a sign over the bunk saying "Colum bus slept here," but I guess the Spanish thought that would be going too far. To England Tomorrow I leave here for "jolly old England" and after a few days there, I'll fly back to Montreal and wend my way across Canada by train.; This entire trip has mada me feel grateful to the Ameri can Heritage association for their plans and arrangements and I would advise anyone wanting an economy trip to . Europe to write their offica in Oswego for information. . Another thing that has been helpful has been a book call ed "Europe on Five Dollars a Day" by Arthur Frommer. I've been disappointed with a couple places mentioned in the book, but for the most part, it's been a big help. at the wedding our knife for the ceremonial cutting of the cake.
