Romaine lived ' in Martinez, a
suburb of Argentina's chief city,
Buenos Aires. Her host was An­tonio
Scardino and his family,
which Includes a daughter
Cristina, with whom Romaine at­tended
classes.
July Winter Vacation
When Romaine arrived in Ar­gentina
in July, the schools were
on a winter vacation, since July
is mid-winter in the Southern
Hemisphere. So, during the first
few weeks, she went sightseeing.
Then, in August, she attended
Kennedy University in Buenos
Aires, a private institution,
“They think a lot of the, Ken­nedy's
there.” Romaine pointed
out.
She studied Spanish linguistics
and literature after meeting
with the president of the uni­versity
and faking his advice.
Did she have any trouble
keeping up with classes in a
foreign, although not unfami­liar,
Mnguage? ”1 had some
trouble with the speed and their
slang the first week; then, I got
used to it," she said.
A Spanish major at Indiana,
Romaine knew the language
pretty well, but feels she still
has more to learn. In addition,
the Scardino family, particularly
Cristina, speak English quite
well, as one of their daughters
works for the United Nations
and they have visited the United
States,

C of C to Meet
On Downtown
The Lititz Area Chamber
of Commerce will meet with
tenants and owners in- the
first block of East Main
Street at 8 p.m. Tuesday.
Robert Buch. Chamber of
Commerce president, said
the meeting is an opportuni­ty
for the persons most close­ly
involved in the downtown
development to discuss the
development plan in detail.
Suggestions for improving
the plan will be welcomed,
Buch said.
The possibility of some
type of zoning protection for
the central business district
also will be discussed, includ­ing
whether or not the per­sons
in the area want this
kind of protection. This dis­cussion
will include what
kind of protection is needed
and how to enforce it, Buch
said.
town living (Romaine is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rob­ert
MeAlpin, 20 W. Lincoln
Ave.), she found the cosmopoli­tan
atmosphere of Buenos Aires
exciting and stimulating.
It is similar to New York City-in
foreign influence but in
Buenos Aires, it is mainly
Italian and French. Romaine
felt it was more like Paris in its
style.
“It’s second to Paris in enter­tainment,”
she explained. “There
are many lectures, plays, operas
and ballets. I even saw ‘Cactus
Flower’ in Spanish.” She attend­ed
the famous, magnificent
Teatro Colon twice,
In one section of Ure city, ■
which is almost all Italian, is
the Caminito outdoor theater.
The caminito (little street) is
lined with houses painted vivid
pastel hues and decorated with
iron balconies.
Trips With Her Hosts
Romaine's host family took
her on quite a few trips during
her short stay.
One weekend, they went to
Lujan, a provincial city that is
no ted for its huge legendary
basilica and a large museum of
Argentine history and culture.
“It’s a typical city,” she pointed
out, “You can see how the
people live.”
She also went on a picnic with
some friends to Chaseomus,
South of Buenos Aires, another
quiet, typical town. And, the
last weekend she was in Argen­tina,
the family took her to a re­sort
at Mar del Plata and nearby
region so she could see the
beaches.
A visit to a huge cstancia, or
ranch, on the Pampa was -an­other
highlight of the trip. “The
land is very flat and green. The
trees grow in clumps and there
is enormous grazing land,”
Romaine described it. “I could

Visiting Nurse Position
The Warwick School Board
created a new combined posi­tion
of visiting nurse and at­tendance
officer at its meeting
Tuesday night.

Lititz, to serve as the district’s
first combined visiting nurse

allowance. Mrs. Wolfe is a
registered nurse.

against the position.

had previously been per­formed

of Mrs. Carol A. Ernst,
