University of Oregon Plays Part in Nepal Development Eugene - When the King and Queen of Nepal visit the University of Oregon this week.Qheir visit will drama tize the vital role played by the university in helping to bring democracy lo ineixiny country. King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Deva and his queen, Rat na Rajya Lakshmi Shah, are visiting Oregon at the invita tion of Dr. O. Meredith Wil son, president of the univer sity. Their interest in the uni versity stems from the work done by faculty members of the university in designing a school system for fjeir king dom and training Nepalese to administer it. Nepal is best known as the home of Mt. Everest, highest mountain in the world. More important, it is a tiny buffer nation, nestling between India and Communist China, and as such can be expected to play an important role in the free world's efforts to combaCSotn munism. Became Involved The university first became involved with Nepal in 1954 when a contract was signed with the International Coope ration administration. The contract provided that the university should send educa tional specialists to Nepal to walk therein estabjjshlng,anj efltfeationar systemT At Wf same time it provided for Nepalese students to come to liie uiiivciii'.y !" groHnatp training. Under the ICA contract, seven Oregon educators have worked !n Nepal along with 2,000 Nepalese educators, to develop the new educational system. Cost of the project has been more than a million dol lars, with the American gov ernment paying some $700,000 of the cost. In charge of the project was Dr. Hugh Wood, professor of education in the university, who has spent most of the past six years in the Asian country. First Step in Program The first step, under univer sity direction, was the forma tion of a 38-man Nepalese Edu cation Planning committee. This group outlined a 25-year educational program. A teacher training center was established in Kathman du. An adult education pro gram stresing literacy was promoted. More than 300 new elementary schools were established.

These men planned a four-year device granting Col lege of Education whicii iiic had in operation within a month after returning to Nc pal. Since then Nepal has sent 36 more educators to the Unit ed States, with 31 of those coming to the University of Oregon, four going to Oregon State college, and one going to South Dakota State college. Important Achievement One of theOSiost imporSnt achievements in Nepal's sys tem of higher education is the recent establishment of Trib huvan university, named for the late king. This was accom plished under the direction of Dr. Charles D. Byrne, former chancellor of the Oregon state system of higher education and presently professor of ed ucation in the university of I Oregon. He spent two yean. in Nepal, working with the educators in developing the structure of the university. The university's contract terminated last Sept. 30. The Nepalese government then as sumed fulfe responsibility for e d u c ational administration. Nepalese students, however, will continue their training on the Eugene campus. The Nepalese educational system, which was designed by the University of Oregon, took into consideration the nature of the tiny kingdom a land of mountains, jungles which make communication difficult. Until a few years ago, the automobiles in Ne pal's capital, Kathmando, were carried into the country over mountain passes on the backs of coolies. In this land where Buddha was born an advanced culture flourished some 5,000 years ago. Over the years contact had been lost with develop ments in the modern world. When World War II broke out, the famed Gurka troops of Nepal were recruited by the British to fight the Ger mans, Italians, and Japanese. These troops returned home dissatisfied with the nation, which was controlled by a member of the Rana family, an hereditary premier much like the Shoguns of ancient Japan. King Mahendra's father, the figurehead King Tribhuvan, recognized the growing need for a democratic form of gov ernment. For this view he was replaced by a 3-year-old prince by the premier. King 'feibhuvan withdrew to India, where he inspired the revolution which led to the return of his throne, thus ending a 104-year Ranaocracy. King Tribhuvan, who died in 1955, did not live to see the results of his liberal rule. His son, the present king, has con tinued, however, to follow his father's example. A democratic constitution Insuring personal freedom, government by an elected par liament, and an independent court system was granted by the king in 1959. Last year the country held Its first na tional elections. It was shortly after the na tion was freed from the Ranas in 1951 that the United States offered the country financial aid and technical assistance in village development, agricul ture, health, education, indus trial development and other areas. U.S. Advised to Up Price of Gold Portland -iUPK- The presi dent of the nation's largest gold-producing mining com pany said Friday that the Uni ted States must increase the basic price of gold to offset rising production costs. Dr. Donald H. McLaughlin of Sun Francisco, one of sev eral speakers here at the joint conference of the American Institute of Mining, Metallur gical and Petroleum Engineers and American Snripty for Metals, said some increase in gold prices, or revaluation is necessary. He is president of the llomrstake Mining Co. Two Firms Guilty Of Discrimination Portland -IWD- Oregon Com missioner of Labor Norman O.

He pointed out that more than two-thirds of the Ameri can people list gardening as a hobby, ahead of sucn activi ty ; a: golf, fishing, and hurt ing. Ideally, flower, vegetable or fruit gardens need 6 hours of sunshine daily; good drain age, air and water; loam soil that works easily; and manure or compost for organic matter and fertility, he said. U ButA'ince most Oregon resi dents have to use available land (which isn't always the best), and have no control over sunshine, Clark suggests the following hints for pep ping up their gardens: Hard To Handle 1. Don't be too eager to get into the garden early. Soil worked too soon won't be as productive, and will be hard to handle all year. You can tell when soil is ready to be worked by squeezing firmly a handful of freshly dug soil. PUC Receipts Down, Says Commissioner Salem - fUPD - Public Utility Commissioner Jonel C. Hill said Saturday that April cash receipts of the PUC's motor revenue department totaled $1,113,570 - down more than $102,000 from the previous month.

The $200,000 project was built entirely from volunteer help in 1950, donations of cash and materials by the peo ple of Del Norte county, with assistance from people in both California and Oregon coun ties adjoining. California's Governor Ed mund J. Brown is expected to attend. Officials Dedicate Armory in Oswego Oswego (UPII Top officers of the Oregon National Guard gathered here Friday night for the dedication of the $193, 000 Oswego National Guard Armory.

Deep cultivation injures feeder roots that support the plant, Clark explained. 5. As weather warms up and soil dries out, the garden will need about 1 inch of water a week.

At the first sign of insects, apply a general garden spray or dust.
