Spring Jewelry Fashions Told He left this seventh largest country in the world about the time It achieved Its indepen dence. He observed the great migrations of peoples that were taking place as many Moslems moved west Into Pakistan and many Hindi moved out of that area and east and south. Ha was stationed in northern India near the Punjab which Is watered by five rivers. Three Problems Rev. Blackaller declared that India has three outstanding problems. One is Its over population (between one-sixth and one-seventh of the world's people-48S persons to the' square mile compared with about 57 to the square mile in the US) A second problem is com munication (about 180 langu ages, including 14 major ones, plus more than 200 dialects). Mr. Blackaller learned to speak Urdu which was used most extensively during the last of England's reign and which, he felt, was one of the unifying forces in the struggle for independence. The 1950 consti tution provided that Hindi should be the official language. Religion is the other great problem. Religion Is such a serious matter to the people, being inertwined with their culture and their everyday habits. The various Hindu sects are dominant and next is the Moslem group, know as Islam. The Christians aro the third largest group. Other religious groups art the Sikhs, the Buddhists, and the Jains.

Actually we went because our neighbor boy, Robert Frank, from Milton-Freewater days was in the play. The play is thought provoking on the life of the inmates of a state hospital. It has haunted me lots. It was a tremendous play and excellent acting. Someday I may get enough nerve to read the book. When we came from the motel Sunday morning to drive to Milton-Freewater to pick up Charlie's mother, we had a flat tire. Charlie went next door and who should come but Eddie Sherman. He asked me where we were going and I told him "Milton-Freewater and then Heppner". The way he said "Heppner?" was the same way you'd say "Heaven?" He is a senior at EOC. He grew up in lone and thinks Morrow County is the greates U had never met him but I knew him as a subscriber!! As we came across Tollgate, we met more snowmobilers than we did skiers. There's lots of snow yet on that highway but very little on Blue Mountain's 80 v Look alikes....in that picture of Mike Benge in the March 4 Sunday Oregonian he strongly resembles or rather his niece, Theresa Hughes, looks like him, especially through the eyes. I'm ready for spring but according to the calendar we've got another week. The apricot buds are showing pink. I'm delighted to have this cooler weather.
