...announcing the acceptance of the National Ski Association's invitation to visit North America, Mr. Palmedo pointed out that this will be the first time that any winter sports team from the Southern. Hemisphere will over have crossed the Equator in search of competition. Teams from the United States, he added, visited Chile during our summers of 1937 and 1938 to participate in the Pan American Ski Championships held at Farellones del Cerro Colorado in the Andes...
...music dug up, music appealing to the tastes of this generation, which may find a permanent place in the repertoire.

There in the last 80 years have gone hundreds of adventurers to ruin their lives, lose their own fortunes in search for three pirate hoards (worth perhaps $60,000,000) which legend has buried about its shores. Biggest find to date: one rusty pistol. So littered with gold diggers' picks & shovels is Cocos Island that it looks "like an abandoned WPA project." A frequent visitor: Franklin Roosevelt. At Cocos...
