Speaker Tells Of Life In Puerto Rico Life in a foreign territory of the United States was discuss ed by a speaker at the regular meeting of the Warrenton Ro tary Club at Hotel Warren on Tuesday night. A. J. Perrone, a retired gov ernment official, who spent some 40 years In Puerto Rico, spoke to the Rotarians about some of his observations dur ing his sojurn on the Island. A native of New York City and now a resident of Nor lina, Perrone was presented by Selby Benton, who was in charge of the program.

For 30 years be was a Court Re corder in Puerto Rico, and was a member of the San Juan, P. R. Rotary Club, for U years. There Is a great contrast in the Puerto Rico of 191S, when he first went there, and today, Perrone said. During the in tervening years, he said, the country has made much prog ress in self-government and In dustrialization. The climate is similar to that of Florida and California with ot ? The production of Cadp la dustry in the dition to sugar cane, some ba nanas. oranges, and other trop ical and semi-tropical furlts and vegetables are also grown commercially. Much remains to remind visi tors of the days when Puerto Rico was a Spanish Colony, and the Spanish influence is still felt in many of the cus toms of the people and archi tecture, Perrone said. One of the most impressive of these relics, he said, is the old Spanish forts, with 40 foot walls, still standing.
