(UPI Telephoto) Woman Explorer To Stay With Primitive Indians By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York - IUPU - Curiosity about other peoples spurs Claudia Andujar into a life rare for a single woman of 29 years living with primi tive tribes of South America. The Swiss-born brunette is en route to her third stay with the Carajas Indians who oc cupy an island in the interior of the Brazilian jungle. To help her with the "pho tographic essays" she plans on the tribes, she took a iilm- making course at the City College of New York. Inter viewed just before she ended her days as a coed, the girl explorer told why she chose the hardship of jungle living to the sophisticated life of New York or with her moth er, now living in Sao Paulo, Brazil, 'I've always been Interest ed in human behavior," she said. "In finding out about other peoples. It was while I was visiting mother that an anthropologist friend told me about the Carajas ... I decid ed I'd try to study them." Third Visit This visit, scheduled for a few weeks after she arrives In Sao Paulo, will be her third with the Carajas in three consecutive years first she went to win their friend ship and confidence, and re turned to photograph them at work and at play. A book on the Indians is scheduled for publication in the fall, she said. "It is impossible to deter mine how ancient the tribe is," ' she said. "The Carajas can't write, so there are no records. They do believe that they were once fish ... so all their cercmonlnl dances and festivities refer to this ori gin." "They are a handsome dark-haired people, about our height. The men wear only a loin cloth, and the older wom en do the same. But the younger women have heard they should cover the top, so what they've developed is pure chemise . . . Everybody Smokes "The Carajas know little about the outside world," eon 1 1 n u e d the photographer. "What they've learned of the Portuguese language-thc Ian gunge of Brazil, is from the river bont traders who supply sugar, salt, cloth and tobacco -everyone smokes, even the small children - In exchange for ceramics and feaher work." Fish, she said, is a main mix : ,V : 'i mx i stay of the tribal diet. A hon eymoon for Carajas newly- weds traditionally is a fishing trip or a turtle hunt. Miss Andujuar-pronounced an-du-har, v. is born in Neu chatel, Switzerland, reared in Hungary, and now is a U.S. citizen. She is a self - taught photographer, and has done free - lance assignments for magazines in both South America and Europe. A graduate of Hunter col lege, New York, with a de gree in psychology, she also is a talented painter who has ex hibited in New York and South America. She said her associations with the Indians had become so congenial that a chieftain, on her last visit, proposed marriage. "He promised to build me a special hut, and said that of his three wives, I would be the favorite," she said. Miss Andujar has news now for the chieftain-on her last trip to the United States, she became engaged to Lew Par relle, editor of "International Camera" magazine.

Girl Scouts Coffee Hour The fifth grade Girl Scout Troop 118 of West Side school recently held a coffee hour for their mothers at the school cafeteria. The theme of the party was "Reviewing and Previewing the Scouting Year." A chart with each girl's accomplishments toward her second class badge was shown; other badge work was also discussed. Each girl served her mother coffee and cookies after the badge work was shown. A film was then presented, "Camp Time, Anytime." Many of the girls plan to attend Low Echo established camp this summer, and much enthusi asm was shown over the film. The leaders and girls are en couraging one another to buy camp stamps, as a good way to save for camp expenses.

It would be Interesting to determine how many valley residents there are who have never seen a stage play, with "live" professional performers. An article in a New York publication recently described a new program now being carried on by the Board of Education, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Art and various foundations to present dramatic, musical and operatic productions in schools of New York City and the immediate area. It was said that a survey showed that "80 per cent of the school audience at one performance had never be fore seen a live performance by professionals." In view of the fact that New York City likes to consider itself the theatrical center of the nation, that it is filled with theaters, large and small, that it has several concert halls and boasts of the Metropolitan Opera company, this is astonishing. Of course, it is no secret that many valley residents ignore the fine Shakespearean theater and company oper ating in their midst every summer. Another interesting bit of information caught and held our attention this week. An article quoting the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization yearbook on food produ"tion, said Ireland topped the world's nations in 1958 on the basis of calories available per day. If anyone had asked us what nation topped the list, we'd have said the United States, or maybe one of the Scandinavian countries, or Switzerland. As a matter of fact, several nations ranked higher than this one in 1958. (Figures for later years were not given). At any rate, the other nations were New Zealand; Denmark, Britian, Australia, Switzer land and Canada. i "The average Irish man had 3,500 calories at his beck and call per day in 1958 as compared to 3,100 calories for the average American," said the release. Hungriest country in the world that year was India, with 1,800 calories per day, the study showed. This meager report gave no information as to how this study was made. Upon reflection, however, we decided that if the study was based on the ability of each person to buy adequate food, and if one considered the economic status of the Negroes, American Indians, those living in the slums of our big cities and those living in the chronically depressed areas, such as the coal regions, perhaps the figures could be true. Considering what has been said and published in recent years about food surpluses in this country, surely the study could not have been based on food production. But if we produce it, why can't it be made available to those who need it? ' From Washington, D.C. comes word that Oregon's prin cess for the 1961 Cherry Blossom festival is tall, auburn haired and a student at Marietta college in Ohio. Princess Judith Kurtz, chosen by the Oregon State society in Wash ington, is -a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alvin A. Kurtz and her father is Hearing Examiner for the Federal Power com mission. She is a member of Chi Omega sorority, is on the Dean's list for scholarship at Marietta, a member of the school's Messiah chorus and an expert archer and rifleman. This latter fact she attempts to conceal from dates. Her great-grandparents migrated from Richmond, Va., west over the Oregon Trail in 1852. Stores selling women's clothing should encourage men to accompany their wives shopping, according to a New York fashion consultant. Terry Mayar, director of a retailing and marketing consultant firm says "men have better taste in clothing, get a clearer picture of how a woman will look to others and are less influenced by what people say."-O.S.
