For a contribution of a few Rupees we were allowed to see her for a few minutes. years old. dressed in crimson with n crimson ribbon in her hair, lots of khol around her eyes, and other makeup. We were told that she had been selected from a certain caste when she was four vears old. She was to live in the temple. never to go out. and was worshipped as a goddess until she reached piiberlv. at which time she would be returned to her family and replaced bv another four year old We were also told that she was now. in the "enlightened" years-allowed to marrv, Rut in the old davs it had been believed that nnvnne who married an ex-goddes would die verv quicklv Before that period of time.

H,v KAV ANWRSON We next flew buck to Delhi, feeling really dirty ntt we had been out about seven days thin time. We stayed overnight, look what clean clothes wr had left and flew off to Katmandu, the capital of Nepal As we left New Delhi and India for the country of Nepal, Raj asked me if I would help him to buy some perfume for the women in his family, as he wasn't allowed to buy in the Duty Free shop with his Indian passport. So. with my passsirt and his money we bought some very nice co logne. He told me he wanted to take It to his sister'B wedding which was to take place in about two weeks He also confided that his familv still believed In arranged marriages, and that his sister had never seen the man she was to marry. It had been arranged by the families. His older brother, also very highly educated and a high officer in the Indian Army, had seen his wife for five minutes before their marriage. I then asked Raj. who is well traveled and quite a cosmopolite, if he could do this. He said his familv would probably find a girl who would share his interests and his travels. I then asked him what would happen if lie married someone he chose, and he said. "I could, but It would create great social problems within my family and probably would not Ik accepted for some time." The hotel in Katmandu was the most luxurious we had seen. This was where Frank caught the head cold which (be rest of us had already been troubled with Sightseeing in Katmandu was a unique experience. There are manv Hindu Tem ples, all occupied bv monkevs. goats, buffalo calves, and all disgustingly filthy. But we were always able to lift our eyes to view the beautiful Hilalayas just atxwo us. The valley in which Katmandu is situated is just Ix'low the foothills of the Himalayas and is a very Ix'imliful. lush valley in which wheat, barley, and various other grains, including a great deal of rice are grown. F.ach hill is terraced clear to the top so that every inch is used. The people here are still living much as they must have 2. owl years ago. They plow with water buffalo that pull a wiHxien stick, and break up the clods with buffalo that pull a horizontal wooden bar. They still winnow grain by throwing It in the air and catching it in flat wicker baskets. This work seems to be done mostly by the women. H0- HO-HO! Hope your holiday's crammed with goodies! .8 BUCKNUMS DOUG & KATHLEEN y Market i4 fc j J 0.' ., r- r- 1 ' I i it.. v.. . -J ' FHiCES ErrECTIVE DECEMBER 23 THHU DECEMBER 23, 7 L J Wu BEEF TOP SIRLOIN STEAK USDA CHOICE BONELESS j LB.
