Bloom is well known In the valley,

Recently we have had several in
quiries concerning Ding Buol Lang,
the brilliant young Chinese -woman
who spent several of her vacations In
this valley while working for her mas
ter's degree In homo economics at
the Oregon State college. . Buol Lang
visited quite a bit in the valley, spoke
before numerous gatherings and made
many personal friends. In April on
the eve of - completion her work at
tho college, she was called homo by
her mother's illness and death. She
is now connected with Hwa Nan col
lege, Foochow, China, from which sho
received her bachelor's degree and has
now started a department In home
economics. We pass on- excerpts from
her letter. . '-
"I have found my work here rather
Interesting. I am teaching 19 hours
this term, 13 In college and six In
senior nigh. The courses-that I am
teachings are ' Elementary Nutrition,
Method In Health Education, Physio
logy and Orientation In Home EC The
latter' one Is given to the high school
senior class.-' It Is rather-surprising
that there are 40 out' of 60 students
of that class, taking this course. Be
cause of lack of Chinese H. Ec. . text
book, I have to write the' lesson every
time. It keeps me more busy this
way "but t enjoy doing that very much.

' FROM CHINA !
"I have ' heard from Dean Mllamjon 4-h uvobiock' exmpiw ay a.-a.
quite often. We are expecting her
here about Christmas ' time. She
probably' will spend six weeks with us.
"Of course you have 'learned from
papers about the trouble broken out
between China and Japan. As you
know, China is Just suffering by flood
and communist, the Japanese are tak
ing this chance sending out troops to
occupy our territory. I can't see of
ony right of doing this. Can you?
Our Chinese are well-known - of
"peace-loving." We do not want to
open war with her unless necessary.
We will wait and see how the "League
of Nations" think' and decide of this
matter. At the same time.' we are
getting ready for the resistance. How
ever we are against the wrong policy
of Japan, yet -we are not going to
hate all the OOOD Japanese people.
"These days we are enjoying' to
hear Dr. Eddy and his wife's speech
on "What Can Save China." He Is
certainly a wonderful speaker. He tells
us so frankly and friendly. Almost
every word he said comes from his
heart. Oh. I almost weep for It, when
I hear him.

. Borne few weeks ago a reader of this

he set - about - supporting his family

Our reader agrees that the experi
