American Teacher Interprets American Life To Englishmen SHADY COVE -TRAIL Money Given To Aid Dam By EDWIN A. BELLER United Press Correspondent London Tj A young Cal Iforman is helping Britain train a young generation of engineers to meet the chal lenges of the new space age Joseph Elfenbein, 31, son of Mrs. C. Elfenbein of Indio, Calif., is teaching mathemat ics to engineering students at London's Hendon Technical College. His students don't exactly expect him to show up for class in a ten-gallon hat. But he does spend some time in terpreting America to them and particularly knocking down strange notions of life in the Far West. Princeton Graduate A graduate of Princeton Lniversity, Elfenbein holds down his mathematics in- structorship while doing re search work at Cambridge University as one of a vast army of Americans studying abroad His life in England reflects pretty well the contrasts and similarities noted by an American living overseas. Take his job. He holds the rank of assistant lecturer, rank equivalent to instructor in an American college. The college in whiqh he teaches Why Wait? Don't Be Late Then Suffer . A Chilly Fate! Call SP 2-8086 FUEL FROM TIMBER - SINCE 1918 - TIMBER PRODUCTS COMPANY McAndrews & Sage Rd. has no exact equivalent in America, though it comes closest to a junior college. Students at the school range in age from 14 to 22. The first course covers stu dents in the 14-16 age range. A certificate course, general ly taking the student to about 19, is the equivalent of com pletion of freshman year at an American engineering school. The final course, to age 22, covers the equivalent of a standard state university engineering degree. Different System It's a different system from Elfenbein's own background. He attended Beverly Hills High school before going to college. His family lived at Los Angeles, at that time. Elfenbein has been in Lon don for three years. His earli er travels included one very important stop in Holland. He married a Dutch girl, Esther Souget, of Bussum, near Am sterdam. They have a 19- month-old son. There, as in many other parts of the world, the picture of America most familiar to local residents comes from American films. In England, Elfenbein found, television films ac count for a large measure of this picture of America. A high percentage of films shown on Britain's commer cial television network comes from the United States. "I have to spend some of my time explaining to my stu- dents that America is not col ossal gangsterdom," he said But he added that despite all distortions, America still represented a certain kind of glamour to many of his stu dents and older students gen erally show a more realistic attitude toward the glam orous" picture of the country. He lives in a two-story six room- house in a residen tial district of London. His home for which he pays $60 a month rent is not very dif ferent from its opposite num bers in the U.S. with one exception. Like many homes in Lon don, it has no central heating. For the basic needs such as rent, food and clothing, he spends less than the average American in his position; If the desire for material goods like an automobile, is American Elfenbein said, then Britain is becoming Americanized. More people want more of these things. And Britains are getting more used to buying them on the installment plan, called "hire By EVALYN P.' WATSON Shady Cove-Trail About a year ago a group of fish erman living in the Shady Cove-Trail area got together to see if something could be done to bring about steelhead fishing in the upper Rogue. Their idea was that the up per river was being discrim inated against in that fisher men were not allowed to fish for steelhead in the upper riv er when others living on or near the river below could do so at their back doors. About $105 was collected in various ways for the pur pose of sending a representa tive to Portland to reason with the Oregon Fish and Game commission, but at the last minute the representative could not go and by the time the date came around the next year ideas had changed as to sending anyone. Last week a meeting of the holding association was held and it was voted to give the money as a contribution to the Rogue Basin Flood Con trol and Water Resources as sociation to aid in getting a dam on the upper river that would aid migratory fish as Shasta dam has done. Rogue River lodge recently He spoke on the aims and pur poses of the association and giving a general outline of the work it has accomplished.
