no title deed and that is why. Maybe he still hopes we

shall get so desparate that we shall fork out some of our
mythical millions, but apart from their being mythical, the
idea is that the whole thing is the property of the village,
and we are only there to put it on its feet. The expropria-
tion of the upper mill has got bogged down as the government
department, known as Sinamos, made a valuation which was
quite unrealistic and astronomical, and Sr. Matos smiled
smuggly and said he had "friends" in Sinamos. (Bribery and
all that, mo doubt).

As a result of this valuation the council decided they could
never expropriate. Go then they appealed to Sinamos for funds
For this purpose, as they are supposed to be giving us support
which so far has amounted to nothing at all. 30 now Sinamos is
divided against itself, as it were, which will no doubt slow
everything down to a snail's pace or worse.

I have to confess, maybe a little guiltily, that I am writing
this from England. I was offered the fare, so am having a
break here to see some of my Family. 1 do not know for how
long. My address in England is 156 East Harnet Rd., Sarnet,
Herts. ENG ORD,

Finally, I want to thank those who, as a result of the last
newsletter, sent us financial help (one from the U.35., one
from U.K. and several from Australasia). Gur own finances are
holding out, cost of living is very low, but from now on the
wage bill will be getting steadily greater, so any help would
be welcome.
