f (Wiltshire engraving) NEW HABIT R. S. Shrestha, left, and N. B. Basnyat, two of the eight educators from Nepal who are spending the summer at the University of Oregon, exchange ideas over a cup of coffee at the faculty club on the campus. Since coming to the United States, they and their col leagues have acquired the coffee break routine, switch ing from their native tea. . Nepalese Educators A rrive He re for Study "Never saw anything like the way they can find a Chinese res taurant," said Hugh Wood, in de scribing his journey across the United States with eight Nepalese educators. "We'd arrive in town and be fore I even knew where the hotel was, they had located a Chinese eating place." These eight Nepalese were sent to Oregon under the university's contract with the Foreign Opera tions Administration. Their as signment to this university is to study school administration. Aft er a year on this campus they will return to their native Nepal and take over the operation of the teacher training program set up under Oregon's guidance. TWO YEARS IN NEPAL They have come to the Univer sity of Oregon with Wood, a pro fessor of education here and the man who has spent the past two years in Nepal planning and or ganizing the teacher training pro gram. He will remain here during the year with the eight men while they learn of America's education of its teachers. The eight are T. N. Upraity, deputy secretary of education for Nepal; K. R. Aryal, N. B. Basny at, S. R. Dhoj. M. L. Joshi, D. M. . Shrestha, R. S. Shrestha, and R. P Tandukar. The group arrived in New York on May 1. Since that time they have visited colleges and univer sities, have seen the country's industries and scenic spots. They were amazed at Pittsburgh's huge steel plants. They saw the Ford plant in Detroit, the stockyards and packing plants of Chicago, the mines in Colorado. They viewed Niagara Falls (from the American side since they had only single-entry permits to this coun try), were awed by Grand Can yon, impressed by. Boulder Dam, and amused by Hollywood. They have seen so much in the past six weeks that they feel it will take them quite a spell of time to think it all through and sort out their ideas and impres sions But having arrived on the cam pus, they have settled down to an opinion or two. Opinion about the most inter esting sight they saw across the United States it was Boulder Dam. Because in this big power project they had a glimpse of the future of their own country. f Right now Nepal is planning still in the blue print stage the giant Kosi Dam. It will be the highest dam in the world. The water power potential in Nepal, these men say, is tremendous. Broken Truck Axle Results in Injury A broken axle on a sawdust truck resulted in an accident Monday morning that damaged two other vehicles and slightly in jured one of the drivers. Donald Ray Buckner. 30, of 150 Edgewood Rd., driver of the truck, said the brakes failed when the rear axle snapped near the intersection of 11th Ave. and Polk St. The truck sideswiped a car and a pickup truck when Buckner swerved to avoid a direct co! lision. Slightly injured in the accident was the car's driver, Mary Irene Eidson, 41, of Rt. 5, Eugene. She was treated by a physician for shoulder bruises. The pickup was driven by Robert F. Carpenter, '33. of Rt. 2, Eugene. No citations were issued after .the accidanL which occurred about 11:15 a.m. State Postal" Clerks Elect Eugene Man Alden Baeson, Eugene, was elected a district vice-president of the Oregon Federation of Post Office Clerks at th'e federation's annual convention in IV-tlend list weekend. The Associated Pr? reported that Sud W. Gail of Medford elected asJhe new present. Aha,, ffinrc arrRahcrt WeetSa. ny; Viftoi Atftitnarj, H onanf IJarold Hicks, Klaf mi5iun I fir , . When it is developed they expect to witness the industrialization of their country the develop ment of their cotton industries, and the realization of more com forts for their homes. 0-. inion about the people of the United States they work harder and enjoy life more than the people of Nepal. Opinion about Hollywood sorry they didn't see any stars on the streets, although anyone they saw on the streets could have passed for a star. Opinion about the Oregon country much like their own in terrain and climate. LONG RANGE VISION These Nepalese educators have the vision of a university in their own country. But theirs is a long range vision. They point out that such a university as has been developed in the United States is still far in the future. Under their .system the start of this will be in the establishment of what Upraity terms an "examining center." This center will start! the unification of colleges and schools. Tnen an affiliated insti tution can be developed. The final' step is the federated uni versity. The teacher training college they have started they hope to make a pattern for other col leges and schools. Eventually this will be a part of the federated university which will be located on a suitable campus. Teachers for all levels of edu cation are being trained in their new program. The emphasis, how ever, is presently on training of primary teachers, for in the pn mary schools the demand for teachers 'is greatest. WEATHER Dashes Indicate rain. U.s'.

LactdtoSeek- Federal Funds Health Facilities .' Would Get loney: Lane County Commissioned! in dicated Tuesday the county will make application shortly for'fed eral funds .to help finance new health . department facilities when the new courthouse is con structed. George M. Sniffer, director of hospital planning and construc tion for the Oregon State Board of Health, informed couny offi cials Monday the county is eligi ble for Hill-Burton funds to pay upward of .one-third the cost of health department equipment and facilities. Shifter explained that only the county health department section of the proposed courthouse would be eligible for federal assistance, not other county departments. Dr. A. Triolo. countv health' officer who is working on a part time status after a long illness, said the county must make ap plication for the federal funds before July 1 to qualify for financial aid in the next 12 months. Triolo estimated that the health department would require at least 5,000 square feet of space in the new building. He said the department's construction cost would be an estimated $125,000. Shiffcr stated the exact amount of funds Lane County might re ceive can't be figured until more detailed information is available. He estimated, however, the coun ty could receive as much as $40, 000 or more. Lane County Commisisoner Kenneth Nielsen, repreesnting the Board of County Commission ers, requested Triolo to take steps to submit an application for fed eral fund to the state board of health.

Majority of those who attended apparently were In favor of a zoning plan proposed by Howard Buford, city-county planning con sultant, and members of a special Glenwood citizens zoning commit tee. The plan calls for zoning to re strict use of land to, light in dustrial purposes, limited indus trial, suburban residential devel opment and agricultural uses. Some persons objected to in dustrial zoning adjacent to their homes. Others, however, ap peared in agreement with the tentative plans. The area is now unzoncd and any type of industry, business or home may be built in the Glen wood district. Buford explained that "there is no protection now" for those in the district. Therefore, it is to the advantage of residents that definite plan be agreed upon he said. It will be up to the County Planning Commission now to take action to zone the area.
