office of the Intendente of the city, where Bullock had some business, then to a hardware store.  While I was looking around I saw a short Collins cutlass which I bought for 100 pesos (3.00 US).  We drove to the Plaza where we waited for another of the Vergel missionaries. This was Mr. Houser from So. Dakotta, in whose house we are going to stay.  Mrs Houser is an Oberlin graduate and they have had two children there. The son graduated in 1941.  Lunch was ready for us and it was much like a North American dinner.
   In the afternoon we wandered about over the farm.  I was impressed by the fact that there they had a climate that was suitable for both the citrous fruits and apples, pears and peaches.  We were shown through Bullock's small museum.  For some years Bullock has been collecting the heavy doughnut-shaped stones that were used by the Araucanians as warclub heads and he now has a very large collection (about 500 of various sizes).  He has also found a pre-Columbian cemetery where the burials were in urns.  Three of these urns have been dug up intact; they are about four feet high and perhaps 30 inches in diameter.  We had dinner with the Bullocks at about seven; after dinner we talked mostly about the war and the extent of the Nazi penetration in Chile.

Mar. 10.  A very good breakfast at 8.00.  Bullock called for us about 10.30 and with a laborer, we visited an enormous stump that was completely overgrown with blackberry bushes.  The laborer cleared the stump and chopped into it in several places but we found no termites.  Mr Houser was attending a Rotary Club lunch in Angol so we had our lunch with Mrs Houser.  In the afternoon, Bullock turned me over to a small boy of 12 years.  José proved to be a good collector, as well as an agreeable companion.  Bullock told a good story about José - A new overseer told him to take a hoe up to the barn and then called after him "Do you know where it belongs?"  José replied with scorn, "I've been here for seven years and you have just come!"  Returned to the house at 4.00 to put away the catch and pack.  We leave Angol tomorrow morning on the 8.00 for Concepción.  Dinner with the Housers and after dinner Bullock came over with some leps and dragonflies for me and some flies for Raúl.  Later the Housers, Raúl and I played Chinese checkers under a new (to me) set of rules.  Bed at 11.30.

Mar. 11.  Up at 6.45, breakfast at 7.00, started for Angol at 7.35 and pulled out of the station on the train for Concepción at 8.13.  At the last minute I gave Mrs Houser a hundred pesos for social work (enough to buy a good pig for some worthwhile boy to raise).
