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.' '" ' ' v ' " ' '' ' ' '-"
