J The Corner Shot Store CENTRAL AT MAIN MEDFORD know more about your edu cation Many persons have told me tliut you believe that we arc here, short ol means, or we are behind the advance of the civilization. You are not right. You believe too that wo are like the Indians; we are not may be you think we can't wear clothes? That's not true. . I want to explain to you that here we have some beau tiful buildings and we have museums and you can see there many things about the sciences and arts, you can study them; there are many, many curious things. If you want, we can send you some books, or we can write you some letters to ex plain to you something about our education and our civili zation. I want you to write us, be cause we want to have some North American friends. And I think this Is the better way to know more about you, and I hope that you will have our same wishes. i I think the United States must be a beautiful country and one of the most high up in the world. I hope I will go there some day. Your friend, Carmen Salmeron. Dear Friends: This just a friendly letter to let you know what I think about American ways of edu cation. I lived among you for many years, in fact I wa3 brought up by your ways. Be lieve me, it cost me many troubles when I came back. I was free to do what I please, but here that isn't so. Our ways of education are more advanced than yours. When I came back they would not accept my American edu cation because It isn't as hard as ours. That was a year ago and they put me back two years and then that as a big favor because my father was a friend of the Minister of Public Education. I couldn't go into a university with the high school, but I can go into a university here and in the States with our system of ed ucation. When I told from where I came, they would ask me so many silly questions: like if I went home in a helicopter, or about the change from my Guatemalan dresses into American clothes. You really have to learn about our own America. It's a shame that living so near you, you don't know about us. Well, I hope that In the future we will have better understandings about these things that are so important Please write back and tell me what you think about my country. Your friend, Rosario de Leon (age 14). St. Paul Rodeo Queen Falls Off Horse St. Paul, Ore. - (UPI) - The queen of the St. Paul Rodeo took a tumble from a horse here Saturday night but was not hurt.
