Harwood Far from Home Julia Bock Harwood, now on a picture-gathering trip to Central America, writes from Costa Rica that North Americans are given a big welcome down there these days, because there are so few of them any more. "All these little countries are definitely different from one another and, much like friends, one can find something to like about each one. But with the crossing of boundary lines," she writes, "one is eternally entangled in red tape of customs, immigration, police permits and the usual money menaces." United States dimes, she says, are in circulation in Costa Rica for quarters, the exchange being two and a half to one, and half dollars are used in Honduras for dollars, the exchange there being two to one. Nicaragua, however, tops them all, for money is sold there on the black market. The regular exchange is five to one, but the black market makes it seven to one, she writes.

"I have been most fortunate in finding transportation," she continues. "The governments have been generous and courteous. I've used several U. S. jeeps and army planes, then there's always a milkwagon or mail cart going my way.

"Costa Rica is a progressive little democracy. To prove it is democratic, I was able to have a friendly chat with the President, Theodore Picado, today. "There were plenty of North Americans around yesterday with 300 U. S. sailors in town.

should have good pictures. I've shot everything from oxcarts to volcanoes and Presidents. "There has been far too much rain but the climate is delightful around San Jose. However, tomorrow I fly to the mosquito coast and tropical jungle." Her letter was on stationery of the Gran Hotel Costa Rica, in San Jose, which advertised "125 cuartos, 125 banos, 125 telefonos" "125 rooms, 125 baths, 125 telephones." Junior T. B.

(Lindquist photo) Louis Greanias to Marry He Is Studying in East for Greek Priesthood Miss Harriet Gregory, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Gregory of Chicago, and Louis T.

Greanias, son of Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Greannias of 636 West Wood, are to be married Sept.

16 in St. Demetrius Orthodox church in Chicago. The engagement was announced May 13 in the Gregory home, with the orthodox rite of engagement conducted by Rt. Rev. Gerasimos, bishop of Chicago, and Rev.

Peter Bithus. Mr. Greanias, first Central Illinois youth to complete a Greek theological course, will complete a five year course at the Greek Theological school at Pomfret Center, soon. The school is the only one in the western hemisphere that prepares youths of Hellenic-American descent for the priesthood. He will take his parish priest vows upon graduation, receive the sacrament of ordination, and be assigned to a parish.

According to church canon law he must marry before ordination, for after the sacrament is performed a status quo is maintained to marriage. A candidate for priesthood may select the secular or the parish priest vows, and Mr. Greanias chose the latter. A secular priest may rise to become a bishop, but a parish priest may not. Mr.

Greanias was employed by various downstate newspapers and was active on school publications before entering the school. He has been serving as instructor and head of the Orthodox Press, the school's large printshop that serves North and South American, Australian and New Zealand churches and Sunday schools.
