Section Two 16 Pages The Cottage Grove Sentinel THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 13. 1956 NUMBER COTTAGE GROVE, LANE COUNTY, OREGON ..43 Local Teacher Reiurns After Five Weeks With Work Party in Greece Living and working in a small mountain village on Greek Island for five weeks highlighted the i immer < >( Miss E dy, English teacher at Cottage Grove High school. Miss Roddy accepted the assign ment from the American Friends Service Committee and worked more directly in connection with a Swiss organization. She was one of two Americans, one Jap anese and about 16 Europeans who were in the work group. Headquarters for this team of young people was the village of Katarraho on Cephalonia. an island on the west coast of Greece. Five hundred people now live in the village which totally destroyed by an earthquake in 195.3. Just alter the earthquake, conditions were so deplorable it appeared no one would remain in the village, but the government intervened to prevent the remain ing villagers from leaving. At the present time there is no elec tricity nor sanitation or water facilities for these people, but the government agreed to supply pipes for a water system if one were constructed. The work project on which Miss Roddy participated was planned to aid in the develop- ment of the water system. Members of the team worked eight hour* ■ div to dig three miles of water line 1.30 centi meters deep. They cooked their food over open camp fires, washed their clothes in the river, lived in tents provided by the Greek government, and used picks and .-hovels provided by CARE. A Greek engineer was in charge of the project. Activities planned for the eve ning gave team members a chance to become acquainted with vil lagers. There were fiestas, a chil dren's party and meetings with the village council. Several times a week discussions of various phases of national affairs were organized among the camp group People in the little village lived almost entirely from the land, re ports Miss Roddy. Sixty percent of the men of the island were away - either at sea or in a for eign country - working to provide a living for their families at home in Greece. The unusual situation which resulted that only women. children and old men were left in the village to wrest a hard living from the soil The women carried water long distances for all household uses. While these people in Greece faced serious problems in their own village, their concern was not limited to local conditions. Miss Roddy was impressed with their knowledge of world affairs. Many families had radios. Because sons and fathers were at sea or work ing in other countries, the vil lagers were keenly interested in what was going on in other parts of the world. In addition to her five weeks on the work project. Miss Roddy spent one week each in Athens, Rome and Paris. She returned to Cottage Grove the day before school opened. This is the second assignment Miss Roddy has ac cepted on a work project spon sored by the American Friends Service Committee. Two years ago she spent the summer on a pro- ject in Mexico Her work there was teaching Mexican children to read and speak English. Treat every gun with the respect due a loaded gun.
