(Brainerd photo) Missionary Family Arrives in ' Medford Interesting visitors in the val le are the Rev. and Mrs. Elcho Redding and' children, Mary Ellen, Miriam and E. LeRoy. They are on furlough after bVz years of missionary work in India and arrived in New York City January 4. The Rev. Mr. Redding is a native of the valley and attended Medford, Eagle Point and Prospect, schools. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Sam Redding, 191 Clover lane, Med ford. His wife formerly lived in Yakima, Wash. The family will be here until June, and will return to India at the close of the year. The girls have enrolled at Oak Grove school. The son was born while the family lived in India. ;En route from Bombay they visited the pyramids, the Sphinx, Cairo, had dinner on board ex- King Farouk's yacht, and saw the isle of Capri, Naples, ' climbed to the mouth of Vesuvi us crater, and visited Pompeii, Rome and Sicily. "The missionaries are affiliated with the Evangelical Alliance Mission, one of the world's lar gest missions I and the largest Protestant mission in India. Workers now operate in 17 dif ferent countries.- Headquarters are in Chicago, 111. ; The Reddings' work in India was done in a former king state. There were 562 such states com prising two-fifths of India's total land area before India's independence in August, 1947. Dharampur, where they worked, is .136 miles north of Bombay and covers an area of 704 square miles of jungly mountain forests of .bamboo and teak, and some lowlands in paddy fields. There are 353 villages and the parish in which they worked is made up of 125,000 persons. ' , Dharampur's queen has been a guest at the Redding home which ' formerly was a guest house for the former king. Upon their arrival in the state, Mrs. Redding ; was presented . a silk sari decorated in pure silver by the queen. Their work has been among aboriginal tribes people and all are illiterate. They conducted adult literary classes in the na tive's language, Marathi, using the Dr.. Frank Laubach tech nique. - One of, the problems of living in . these . surroundings is diet. Mainly they have rice, potatoes, 'lady fingers," which is a vege table similar to. our okra, squash1, and a native vegetable similar to spinach. Fruit, though different from ours in this country, is in abund ance, and .consists of papaya, mango, sweet lime, bananas and others. . They use curry seasoning with the rice "and mainly the meat is goat. : ' ', .-" Of particular interest is the fact that they -use milk; of -the water ' buffalo and also make butter' from the fat, which rises on the milk the same as cow's milk. The milk appears chalky and the butter is white. To make the - butter' - more - appetizing in appearance they use coloring. All "the milk-and water must be' boiled and vegetables cooked though - they can eat 'tomatoes arid frtrit oaw after rerrftfvrng ther peel.'
