The start of work and sales: Since the first of last April the members of the company have been up and working with energy and application. For the prelim-inary parceling a number of engineers were enlisted, surveying the district span by span, laying out the broad roads and marking off the plots for build-ing, for farms, for parks and for clubs — exactly along the lines of what is done in Venezuela as regards the provision of sanitary, esthetic, and tech-nical requirements... And at once 'The Green Hill' hummed with visitors and buyers racing to acquire the favored plots of land,

overlooking the sea and the mountains at one and the same time, after the company had guaranteed them the provision of water and electricity.

A playground for the children and a club for the grown-ups: The responsible director of works has declared that the intention is, at the outset, to erect a playground for children and a club for grown-ups, with the restaurant and inquiry offices attached to them, so that families may easily answer the company's invitation and spend every Sunday on 'The Green Hill,' becoming acquainted with the virtues of this singular building project, with complete peace of mind as to the children's presence in the cheerful, gentle air, amusing themselves all summer long, if they wish, with useful and delightful games!...

Our mothers' rush to the project: I have congratulated the members of this company — all of them young men overflowing with vitality, resolve, and faith — and I am certain that they will carry their project to the summit of what they hope for. Sufficient for them is this educational awareness, shown in giving the children and the young the first care and the first attention... No wonder our mothers are in the vanguard of those rushing to and encouraging the project of 'The Green Hill,' of whose growth and flourishing we shall bring our readers news month by month. So, until we meet in the next issue.
