Washington (U.Pj Just got
a letter from Mary.
She's an agricultural exchange
g u a y And
what impress
ed her most, so
far, ;s that she
saw her first
gall bladder
operation.
Mary Louise
Ansberry
(2. 'A ' J-' of San Ardo,
HaTman Nichols Calif., did not
say whether
the knife work was done on a
steer, but considering she's a
farm girl, we have to reckon
it was.
Anyhow, the 24-year-old black
haired beauty is having herself
a time. She knows enough Span
ish to get along, and she likes
that Latin air south of the bor
der. Se is staying with a family
named "Bidegains" near Monte
video. "Wonderful people," she
says.
"Tljey treat me like one of
the family. They have a cook
and a 14-year-old 'Girl Friday,'
but I help with the dishes. Mrs.
B. Does a lot of the cooking,
even though they have servants."
Well Ran Dry
"We all went down to the
cistern to rope-pull up water.
It was fun, kind of," she says.
"Also I have been doing all of
my own laundry and ironing.
I'm handy at that."
According to Mary, the Bide
gains have t a nice little plot,
spreading over 5000 acres. They
have fine Herefords, 1000 head
of sheep and lots' of wheat and
flax.
"The sheep shearers arrived
one day," she says. "There were
10 shearers and 11 more men to
help with the sheep, wool and
cooking. They shear with mach
ines. They are paid by the ani
mal. The foreman or capataz
puts a phony coin in each work
er's cup when he finishes shear
ing a sheep. At the end of the
day, the worker gets cash equiv
alent." Pie Fell Apart
Mary says she wanted to show
Mrs. B. how to bake an apple
pie.
"It turned out fine, California
style," she writes. "Except that
Mrs. Bidegains, while taking it
out of the oven, turned it upside
down and the pie fell to pieces."
Mary says the food she has
had on the various farms is very
tasty.
Usually, she wrote, there is
soup at least once a day and lots
of Acelga. "Acelga" is stuff that
looks and tastes like spinach.
"They make a pie out of it,"
Mary said, "and it doesn't taste
bad at all. I have written down
the recipe."
Mar, loves to ride a cow pony
and she had a chance to do it
in Uruguay. Jorg, the 10-year-old
Bidegains boy, and the adopted
"girl Friday" wanted to go rid
ing. So they all saddled up.
"It was pleasant," Mary said.
The saddles were fine: First a
blanket, then the saddle, then
one, two or three sheep skins
with wooly side up." ,
"Hardly any bounce at all,"
she says.

As We Live
"Opposite!" Are Not
A Good Marriage Bet
The notion that opposites at
tract and make the best marriage
combination is a popular belief
that is not borne out by every
day experience.
(Q) "I am a rather shy and
timid man. Ever since I start
ed to date, I have dated girls
who were more aggressive
than I am. Sometimes it both
ers me to be with a person who
is so sure of herself and it
makes me feel like a weakling.
On the other hand, shy girls
never have a thing to say and
there are those awful periods
when neither of us can think
of a word to say. Will you give
me your opinion about what
sort of person I would get
along with best?"
(A) You are attracted to girls
who are just the opposite of you
but marriage involves more than
iust attraction.

Dr. Herloek
There must be
a mutual
respect for
each other and
a sense of be
longing togeth
er. These quali
ties of mar
riage you will
never find in
Jy ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D.
a person who is your exact op
posite. You have found, from
your own experience, that girls
who have the aggressiveness
you lack make you feel inade
quate and this you resent. I am
sure that girls you date do not
have the same respect for you
they would have for men more
nearly . like themselves. i
Now, as to the question of the
type of person you should mar
ry. That is impossible for a
stranger to answer. However,
there is one thing I can say and
that is that you should start to
date girls more nearly like your
self, not those just your oppo
site. When a person has some out
standingly , weak personality
trait, as you seem to feel you
have, it is wise to select as
friends and as a mate people
who are slightly stronger in
those traits than you are. In that
way, you will not be made to
feel inadequate by comparison.
And, at the same time, the peo
ple you are with will compen
sate for your own timidity and
may not even be able to draw
you out and help you to correct
it.

Scientists Change
Eye of Housefly
Riverside, CalX (U.R) Sci
entists, who are always busy
changing things, have now man
aged to change the color of a
housefly's eye.
This not too significant feat
was accomplished by entomolo
gists at the Citrus Experiment
Station here studying DDT-re-sistant
bugs. By breeding thou
sands of houseflies, the scientists
have developed a green-eyed fly
as compared to the normally red
eyed variety.
Minor changes in wing mark
ings had been reported in the
past, but this was believed to be
the first observed mutation of its
type in the housefly.
More than 10,000 houseflies
are raised each week by the en
tomologists in order to learn
more about the inheritance of
immunity to insecticides.
This resistance to insecticides
has been reported in 30 species
of economically important in
sects, including disease-carriers
such as the housefly and the mosquito.
Art Collection Prints
Rented by University
Berkeley, Calif.' (U.R) The
University of California has
started a traveling art collection,
renting out prints of rare paint
ings to those with an urge for
culture.
The rental service of the cor
respondence department circu
lates color reproductions of more
than 800 great paintings. It has
divided its collection into four
parts, containing from 40 to 60
prints mounted uniformly on
mats 12 by 15 inches in size.
A spokesman for the depart
ment said the prints were se
lected and organized for the pur
pose of presenting the most rep
resentative view possible of the
painting of . the western world.
Every important school of west
ern art is represented in the ex
hibits from Pre-Renaissance to
Picasso and from Flemish to con
temporary American.

Czechs Spearhead
Soviet Infiltration
London (U.R) The Kremlin
is grooming Czechoslovakia as
a spearhead of its new infiltra
tion offensive in the Middle East
and Southeast Asia, Soviet policy
experts said here today.
Czechoslovakia, which was
used to cover up the Communist
arms deal with Egypt last month,
has been selected to make it
possible for Russia to approach
under-developed nations ranging
from Afghanistan to Assam on
the Red Chinese border.
A Czech trade mission is now
in Cairo. Another headed by a
deputy .minister has arrived in
America's Indians do not
have red skins, or even copper
colored. Fondness for painting
themselves with red ocher or
red vegetable paints led the
American aborigines to be called
redskins by early explorers, fur
traders, and colonists. Actually
the Indian's skinis brown, some
times shading almost to white.
Assam. An Afghan mission ha3
been invited to Prague, preced
ing the visit next month to Ka
bul by Premier Nikolai Bulgan
in and Communist Party chief
Nikita Khrushchev.
