B. Cordy received a July 1 copy of the sports page from the "Tehran Journal" not long ago, with an underlined item. It said that his son, Cliff Cordy, had broken the Oregon-Oregon State track meet record in the 880-yard run. This, of course, was hardly news to County Agent Cordy, but Jo find that Oregon - collegiate sports news interests the people of Tehran, interested the agent. The sports page was sent to the Cordys by Miss Eula Wintermote, former Jackson county home demonstration agent. Miss Wintermote went to Tehran last fall, and -is now with the Near East Foundation as a teacher. The former Medford resident instructs other homemaking teachers in a Persian school. .Miss Wintermote wrote that she thought Tehran could do with a good county agent. She said that cherry and apricot crops this year were good, but that the apple and pear crops last fall were very poor. She added that cucum bers do very well in that region, and that people eat them like Americans eat apples. The milk supply in Tehran is supposed to be pasteurized, but many residents boil it after purchase, anyway, Miss Wintermote reported. The former agent wrote that she has "commissary privileges" and buys dry milk, canned cream and butter from Denmark. Packaged and canned goods are very expensive, and only the rich can afford them. "T.his country is one big contrast," Miss Wintermote wrote, "the very rich and the very poor. Very few people have a little education, either they have a great deal, or none. That is what makes the greatest difficulty in trying to reach the masses in any of the Near East programs. Each time I go to the school, which is about 24 miles out of town, we run over bunches of wheat in the road. This is the peasant's 'modern' way of threshing. One sees the most expensive cars, along with the donkey and the camel." Miss Wintermpte thinks conditions will not change rapidly; the rich want to stay rich and care little about the rest. Miss Wintermote sent greetings to her friends in the Rogue Valley and congratulations to Cliff Jr. on his athletic achievements.

Hints for Buying Rugs and Carpets Given in Builetin - f!orvallis - Wool still rates high among rug and carpeting materials although many syn thetics are underfoot today, reports a new bulletin avail able from Oregon State col lege. Wool is a good choice for dining and entertaining areas. It is resistant to grease stains and stands up under heavy traffic, the college specialists point out. Home economists from ure- Bon. Idaho, and Washington prepared the bulletin, "Buy ing Rugs .and Carpets," as a joint project. The Dunetin lists commonly used rug fibers with advantages and draw back of each. When shopping ior rugs, families often listen to their neiehbors preferences, and end up buying a rug that fits the neighbors but not tnem selves, they say. Consider the number of years your carpet must last, amount of trafftc it win get, how it reacts to stains, its effect on the whole feeling of the room, and facilities available for commercial cleaning. Then decide what you can spena, tne nome economists advise. A formula for figuring yard age and cost of wall to wall carpeting and room fit rugs is included in the bulletin. Home economists recommend spending a little extra money and buying a rug cushion to increase rug service. Cushions " teacher, who at Dresent IS the first language that greets noncomorehendine.
