Rotarians Hear Description of Puerto Rico Isle The members of the Anaheim Rotary club and their guests listened to a very interesting as well as educational talk made by Coe I. Wellman, who recently returned from Puerto Rico and used the island as a topic for his talk. Wellman started in by explaining that the island which is known as Puerto Rico is but 100 miles long and 35 miles wide. It is situated upon the top of a volcano and has but a small percentage of tillable land, being mostly mountainous. "We have the problem of over-population," he said, "but the native powers-that-be state that upon attaining their freedom this problem will take care of itself, but they do not say just how." The speaker told of the early history of the island when for 400 years it was under the Spanish Kingdom. "There are three places, that I know of where Columbus first landed," he said. He then told of the problems facing the inhabitants because there were so few local landowners. Most of the land is owned by corporations in the United States and tobacco and sugar were the two main products. "One reason why independence in the island would not be so well for the inhabitants is because it costs them about two cents per pound more to raise sugar than it does in Cuba. If they had to compete with other countries, then they would soon find themselves up against strong competition. The reason for the additional cost is because of the small acreage," said Wellman. The speaker then told of living conditions and low wages of the workers. He explained the types of people living on the island. Following his talk, Wellman answered questions. The speaker was introduced by Cloyd Hartranft, program chairman for the day. TAILORING Suits Made To Order Expert Cleaning and Pressing Satisfaction Guaranteed on Every Job C.

He is headlining the show with Lu LeMon, who likes to be called the Fullerton caveman, and George Hughes, the colored lad from Los Angeles. Singleton took over the boxing promotional reigns from Sampson last week after the latter had been struggling for months to bring the sport back to its former popularity here. What can the new promotion do? He has promised a new deal with emphasis laid on the announcement that when a boy advertised to box here he box or he never again is scheduled. The writer wishes to express no opinion regarding the decision in interest in amateur boxing in the county. Sampson played large crowds a long time, but when interest died nothing could do revived it. Personally, we believe that fans are fed up on the game, least for the time being. The see the same boys week after week. Matchmaking isn't always of the best. Boxers fail to appeal and someone else is shoved in the last moment. Give the sport one year's re-run and a live promoter could come in and make plenty of dough. There has been some talk staging professional bouts at the club. It would be a long process but it might solve the problem Undoubtedly, there are plenty of boxing fans in Orange county who like the sport regardless whether the fighters are amateurs or professionals. Build up two or three redhot favorites among younger professionals and interest might return. The writer can remember a few years back when Delhi was opening professionally. One of the faces there was Tony Moreno Placentia who packed them in nearly all appearances.
