Por sus acciones revolucionarias Emilio Rodríguez Lara fue perseguido por el gobierno de Machado y tuvo que trasladarse a Tampa. Allí continúa sus labores sindicales siempre a favor de la clase obrera y sus derechos, motivo por el cual lo nombran vicepresidente del Círculo Cubano de Tampa e integra una célula comunista. Su regreso a Cuba se produce en 1938, luego de sufrir un accidente donde pierde una pierna.

FOOTBALL ''Mine first'' is a popular slogan of Cuban popular vocabulary. I bring it up to talk about a sport that is booming in his national championship and television is not aware of that competition. An old proverb says: "Our wine is bitter but it is our wine." I would say, "Our football is not good, but is our football. Why are not the National Championship matches broadcasted in its 101^th edition?, Is not there the technology needed to do it?, Is a priority of the Sports Writing the games of the best leagues in the world?, or do you know that a national football transmission will not be watched?

Cuban football problems exist and persist despite the efforts of the National Commission, but I think to gain a general knowledge of the sport, we should enjoy all the events and the national product can not be exempted from broadcasts . It is inconceivable that football fans know by heart the statistics and the results of the various leagues and best athletes, and they do not know anything about our championship.

Our provincial stadiums don’t have the quality needed to play. Tactical and technical level of our athletes is weak and when we have a few that stand out, they go abroad, sometimes by authorized contracts and others desert. Quality is important, but I repeat ``mine first`` and national football, which is made in Cuba, also deserves its place. At least, I think so.

Aquí aprendió a nadar y a menudo se escapaba de la familia para refrescarse en estas aguas a pesar de estar prohibido por su madre Argelina. Hoy la tristeza en torno al río es protagonista por el deterioro que presenta, su cauce disminuye, su flora y fauna mueren poco a poco entre las aguas sin oxígeno.

DRUGSSan Antonio de los Baños, Artemisa, Cuba.- The Community Mental Health Center of the town contributes to eradicate drug use. Alcoholism and smoking have the highest rate with a large sum of drug consumers in the municipality. Ages are from 25 to 59 and male sex is predominant.
