Linda Heras is a Long
Island girl of Italian descent

swiftly. She studied in Spain
for a year but found a Span
ish husband at the New York
World’s Fair.
Alberto de Heras is the
son of Spanish restaurant
owners who, like most Span
ish males, does not touch a
pot. Yet, he is the proprietor
of an authentically Spanish
restaurant in New York City,
the Spanish Pavilion on Park
Avenue. It’s a dream thht
almost did not come true.
In 1965, after months of
searching for a spot, the
Herases’ belongings were on
the New York docks ready
for shipnient to Spain when
they finally found a building
for a restaurant.
Since then the Herases
have researched Spanish
history for recipes once

The child in its first few
weeks is the major target in
our fight to banish malnutri
tion and its results from the
American scene.
“Modern research reveals
that prenatal and postnatal
malnutrition can affect its
future. Yes, a starved or
severely malnourished infant
may be injured permanently,
mentally and psychologi
cally. His chances of devel
oping his maximum in
herited potential are slim, if
not entirely negative,” says
Dr. Dena Cederquist, chair
man, Michigan State Univer
sity Food and Nutrition De
partment.
Prevention of mental stunt
ing of these children will
take vast sums and stepped
up professional efforts. But
the results will pay large
social dividends, Dr. Ceder
quist says.
“In a home—call it a home
—where the young child does
not get enough to eat, you
usually find general depriva
tion-lack of decent housing,
water, heat, clothing, medi
cal care and often affection.
These circumstances all
threaten the infant’s future
—physically, emotionally
and economically,” she ob
serves, adding:
“Why wait to attack the
problem until an infant gets
to be 18 and a resentful, em
battled young rebel, demand
ing, often forcibly, his place
in our universities and
society? In this superrich
country it is criminal that
starvation or near-starvation
exists.”
Dr. Cederquist does not be
lieve that elimination of
near-starvation here is the
exclusive province of nutri
tionists.
“Many other disciplines
are involved,” she insists.

MEXICO CITY (UPI) - The
Mexican Federal Tourist
Department, which sets hotel
rates in the country, figures that
a well-run hotel should break
even if it averages 60 per cent of
its rooms occupied and should
return a reasonable profit with 70
per cent occupancy, according
to Agustin Salvat, head of the
department.
Helsinki’s Visitors
HELSINKI, Finland (UPI) -
Helsinki hotels had 327,952
