Photo by Stoner Duck Hunters On lake Patzcuaro In Mexico Snag Prey With Harpoons -And Impress The Franklin Weavers By MILLY RAMSBY The flow of United Slates traffic Into old Mexico has increased to the point that vacationers like the Franklin Weavers with an explor atory bent seek the more remote villages which haven't yet become tourists meccis with attendant loss of native charm. Mr. and Mrs. Weaver lervently consider Patzcuaro in Michoacnn one of the highlights of their month in Mexico. Not that they had to hack a path to "discover" it but they were entranced with beau tiful Lake Patzcuaro 7.180 teet above the sea, broken with Islands and bays. There are a dozen towns and villages of Tarascan Indians about the lake one inhabited island centered the placid and often ro3e-colored water rimmed with lofty mountains and in the pictures Mrs. Weaver showed mo there Is a story-book look to the setting. This Is furthered when the natives whose food supply is al most entirely from fishing and hunting converge upon Patzcuaro for the market day fiesta. The women, all of them, from wee ones to the ancient wear their hair In the same style parted and braided In two braids en twined with bright-bright ribbon, yarn or bits of cloth what ever Is available. These people live in absolute poverty: Inherited along with customs which haven't changed in centuries. In fact, a 16th century atmosphere prevails; and the natives haven't been spoil ed as in some parts of Mexico by over-exposure to "the Yankee dol lar" and customs. The women wear wool skirts with wide pleats held at the waist with brightly hucd fringed sashes. They (the skirts) play a dual role; serving at night as blankets. Near ly all of the natives are barefooted. When pursuing duck (sitting or flying) the old Mexican atlatl or throwing spear is used. Cleverly manipulated by the hunter II Is thrown In such a way that It comes down on the target pinning it with the pronged end of the light-weight pole, which floats and is easily re trieved. The Weavers were fasci nated with the ease and accuracy displayed. The natives come across the lake to market in their crude dugout canoes, propelled by curious little paddles shaped like lollipops. The dugouts and paddles have not changed In a thousand years. Some of them arc forty feet long Willi all the family paddling; and Mrs. Weaver said, "not in u n 1 a o n." Some are full of women, a picture (in color; of parallel rebosos shawls) above parallel oars. Heaped on the bows are flowers, vegetables, pottery, nets, etc., and under wet rushes and ba n a n a leaves are heaped the catch of de lectable white fish (mainstay of their diet and epicurean treat of the trip to the Weavers). Unforgettable to Mr. and Mrs. Weaver was He method of catch ing the delicious whltefish (not like our local whltefish). The stage is set on the beautiful placid water and the procedure beat any floor show they'd ever seen Mrs. Weaver said that the dugouts smoothly form a wide circle out on the lake (about seven I think she said); and then with no notice able signal huge nets shaped like butterllles were simultaneously raised and silently dipped into the quiet water and then all were rhythmically lifted together with the shiny catch. It was almost like a ceremony a practiced ritual in tranquil dream-world sur roundings. Our travelers were comfortable at the Posada de Don Vasco, a U room hotel with SS baths or showers. American or European plan available. And of cour:e to the United States guest ridiculous ly reasonable. In Piuzcuaro. al though the natives have never known anything but poverty they also seem to have inherited a happy frame of mind. Mrs. Weaver said that the children all looked happy no childish tan trums. In fact, she was amazed at the market-day fiesta where the women sit all day surrounded with heaps and heaps of their native pottery with stair-step children from those in the arms, to toddler-; and older, all grouped together patiently remaining In the same spot hour after hour through the whale day. No "kid" roundup necessary here. Mrs. Weaver par ticularly noted mat small babies were held in the same position close to the mother and covered for the entire day. It the Weavers left lor another market locale they would return to the same picture with the same subjects still patient ly sitting. The pottery which was heaped everywhere in the market and the whltefish are the only sources of Income tor the Impoverished na tives (who are compensated some what by living In a temperate ell nvite In a land of lush beauty). The pottery Is crude all hand made not a wheel Is used. The pieces that Mrs. Weaver brought back are crude alright but they are beautiful too. Somehow these poor primitive people have Incorporated themselves Into the molded clay and express their simple dignity and way of life In the natural beauty of their country through the medium of their Innerlted in dustry. Along with some plates and serving dishes. Mrs. Weaver brought back one little Item a clay oell, in the almost formless form of a woman; but with a pur ity of line that gives a shni per im pression of a woman in a full skirt with crossed arms than would one cluttered up with detail. It also tinkles almost rings to me -It had a madonna-like quality to it perhaps it was supposed to be a madonna or the native who made It was sub-consciously influenced by the many examples of religious art seen everywhere in the country. We asked Mrs. Weaver about the food (other than their favorite whltefish) and she said it was ex cellent. American food In variety was served and "loads" of fresh fruif. Also their hotel (Spanish ar chitecture) where it was served was especially clean. Speaking of fresh fruit she was reminded of San Jose Purua a spa where they stayed the day before going to Patzcuaro. At breakfast they were brought a tray of fresh fruit a magazine-cover colored picture of an even dozen tl"i different varieties to choose from. Oranges, pineapples, pears, apples, bananas, cantaloupe, wa termelon, papaya, grapes, grana da, tangerines and limes. When we left Mrs. Weaver she was planning a Mexican din ner that night for themselves and another couple. She just couldn't wait to use those quaint "conver sation piece" pottery dishesl AVOCADO COCKTAILS Combine H cup each table cream and tomato paste with 1 teaspoon each, salt, Worcestershire sauce and minced celery, 1 tablespoon vinegar and dash of pepper.
