even distinguished graduates

versities who will appear in

tennial lecturers. He is the
first to appear in the Medf ord
Achlanri area.

from Reed college m 192 ana
received his master's degree
from the University of Oregon
in 1929. He served with tne
tt s. state Deoartment from
1941 to 1946, playing a key
role in organization of the
United Nations.
Before assuming the presi
dency of Mills this June, Dr.

. County Agent C. 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
