SATURDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1960 Mexico, that "romantic and fand of color and contrast" is an excep- tional vacation value, It is huge, larger than France and Spain and Italy com- bined. It has everything, sun-splashed beaches, snow-capped volcanos, ' forbid- ding deserts and jungles, Indian ruins and colonial cathedrals, and, paradoxi- cally, one of the world's most sophisti- cated and cosmopolitan cities, Mexico City now has five and a half million population and is the seat of the fast- growing middle class, ; The traditional culture of the upper classes has permeated this progressive new class of Mexicans. Most "capitalinos" now prefer bread to tortillas, beer to pulque and tequila, and honest hard work to the legenday siesta, They are literate and ambitious with dreams for their cchildren and their country, It is no wonder that the "colorful legend", often cartooned as a sombreroed Fadro, sleeping in the moonday sun, is an affront to this type of Mexican. : The burro has long been banned from the streets of the glittering capital but the adventurous tourist need only step outside the city to find the legend ful- filled. Mexico is a land of contrast, Th-re are hundreds of villages that seem sus- pended in the 17th or 18th century. There are Indians everywhere, peones in huaraches or barefoot, who never spend more than a few pesos from the time they are born until they die. The country is harsh but colorful. The route of Her- nan Cortes from the coast of Mexico to Mexico City seems impossible for human beings. Much of the country still awaits exploration by those seeking the treasures of antiquity. And this is Mexico too, something for everyone, a wonderful vacation value, A a.
