Psacio Tells Why Costa
Chose to Abolish Their
A
The Costa Ricans have abol
ished their army because war
between Latin American
countries is impractical, ac
cording to Gonzalo J. Facio,
Costa Rican ambassador to
the United States.
Ambassador Facio, speak
ing before a University World
Affairs Preview convocation
last Wednesday, said that
there is more danger that
as army would be used
against a country's own peo
ple, as evidenced by Cuba.
But, he said -the proposal to
abolish all Latin American
armies failed by a one to
four vote.
The United States has dif
ferent responsibilities, he
said, and could not disband
Us army. In his country the
army is too expensive for the
need, he said.
He said that the democratic
party there is fighting to
overcome an obsolete social
system. Private enterprise to
them might mean "a goat
and a cabbage patch." With
this thinking, he said, it is
easy for the communist to
advocate totalitarianism.
The masses regarded Cuban
leader Castro as a hero even
after he had betrayed the
cause of democracy. Only as
the plight of the Cuban peo
ple worsens are the masses
content to feel there is some
thing better, he said.
The Costa Ricans look to
the United States as an under
writer for their social revolu
tion, he said. They need in
vestors who understand them.
What they don't need, he said,
are the "fast buck boys."
The investors must under
stand the Ltain American way
of life and realize that the
capitalism of 1848 still thrives
on their country the same
kind of capitalism against
which Marx and Engels
fought, he said.
icons
But Facio said that Latin
America is now awake to the
fact that they can rise above
starvation and poverty and
improve themselves.
They look for aid from the
United States just as the
the colonies looked to France
before 1776 when the time
came to throw off the yoke
of England, he said.
Costa Rica is revolting
against poverty, disease, and
social injustice, Facio com
mented. "They need private
foreign investment and inves
tors who are willing to be
"Latin,' " he added.

"At least one person from
each community" is the ideal
goal as invitations go out for
tne 1963 Nebraska Conference
of Youth, Susanne Plum,
conference chairman, said.
Gov. Frank B. Morrison
called two weeks ago for the
third annual two-day Confer
ence to convene September 18

trators, asking for one sopho

years; youth officials for

groups, organization rep
resentatives to work with the
Conference youth as adult

Like last year,' "Let Youth
Help Nebraska Grow" will be
the Conference theme. Em
phasis will center on how
youth and adults can work
together in their communities
to promote better educational,
recreational, and economic
opportunities.
About 60 youth leaders-are
preparing for discussions,
workshops, exhibits, and
films, besides working on reg
istration, public realtions, and

At this Conference, Nebras
ka's young people will (1) in
crease their awareness of Ne

lems (3) discuss "'and share
ideas with adults on projects

(4) help develop plans for Ne
braska (5) with adults, learn
community leadership.
Youth leaders preparing for
the Conference hope district
conferences involving more
people will follow.
Scottsbluff drew 300 people,
as many as attended the first
State Conference, to its follow-up
district conference last
winter.
The St. Paul district, which
sent only 20 delegates to the
Conference last August, drew
125 to its December district
meeting.
As a result of the 1962 Con
ference, North Platte raised
$800 to bring an American
Field Service student to the
city.
Coleridge established a

and held a Careers Day for
junior and senior high school
students.

of the Nebraska Council of
Youth and the Nebraska Com
mittee for Children and
Youth, developments of the
1960 White House Conference
on Children and Youth held
in Washington, D.C.
Governor Morrison s a y i,
"We are living in a very in
teresting and challenging pe
riod of human history.
"The greatest waste that
society is experiencing is our
failure to fully develop the
silkl and the knowledge and
the potential of our people.
The nation, the state, and the
community must, in increas
ing degree, turn to young
people for leadership.
"The degree of our prog
ress, the expansion of our cul
ture, the promotion of em
ployment opportunity, and
our economic development
our awareness of our prob
lems and our potential and
the development of onr ability
to meet those problems with
wise solution.
"These conferences are de
signed for the purpose of
stimulating our young people
in the area of leadership and
all pf the facets of modern
life.
"The program at these con
ferences is not designed to
duplicate the training which
our schools are performing,
but to bring together leaders
from all of our schools to give
them further impetus for ac
complishment." Union

Nebraska's fair
Is One Of Best
By BOB MjOHNIKE
"Although the gates to the
Nebraska State Fair do not
open for -another month, ( Aug.
31) we have been getting
ready for the 1963 State Fair
since the day after the 1962
fair," said Edwin Schultz, sec
retary of the Nebraska State
Fair Board.
According to Schultz, "The
Nebraska State Fair is one
of the best state fairs in the
nation. Some fairs," he added,
have trouble selling all of the
space that they have, but we
have been sold out forsev
eral months."

"The reason for this," he
continued, "is that Nebraska
offers the advertiser more of
what he wants and buys this
space for people more
people who are interested in
the new agriculture develop
ments which these business
firms display at our fair."
"I never make any predic
tions as to the attendance at
the fair, we only 'hope that
each year we will have more
people than the, previous
fair," said Schultz.
Heading the list of the State
Fair Varieties will be the
popular singing star Jimmy
Dean.
During the year the actual
management of the fair rests
in the hands of Schulz and
a small office staff, assisted
by a six-man grounds crew.
"However, a week before the
fair, our payroll jumps to ov
er 600 employees," Schultz
said.
"We feel that the biggest
attraction to the Nebraska
State Fair is the 4-H activities
and exhibits," said Wesely M.
Antes, State 4-H Club leader
of Nebraska.
"We expect about 2900 to
3000 exhibitors at the 1963
State Fair.' Of these about 700
will be exhibiting livestock,
and another 1600 will have
exhibits other then livestock.
"We have made some im
provements which the public
should appreciate. One of the
biggest ones is that the cloth
ing exhibits will be judged
on Friday instead of Satur
day as they have in the past.
We feel that this will give the
visitors to the fair on Satur
day a chance to view the
clothing exhibits, as we plan
to have the judging clone and
the exhibits in place by Sat
urday noon.
