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.

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.

Art Exhibit
Attracts Many Visitors
Laree groups of Interested
patrons crowded the Senior
Activity center last Sunday
afternoon during an exhibit
of work of senior artists. Most
of the paintings, 42 in an,
were hung on three walls of
the small room; only a few
easels could be used because
of the lack of space.
Members of the Southern
Oregon Society of Artists and
of the Rogue Valley Art as
sociation congratulated both
the class members and their
teacher, Mrs. Victoria Staley,
on the varied subject matter,
the technique and quality of
the paintings. Many were the
first work of the beginning
artists, for the most part in
dividuals who have taken up
painting since retirement.
Each artist wore a colored
palette name plate, and they
served as guides. Teachers
and hostesses poured and
served.
The paintings are being left
on the walls at the center
for those who were unable
to attend the event Sunday.
Displaying works were Robert
Bridges, Eric Robathon, Nellie
Jones, Anna Diehl, Birdie
Johnson and Ethel Shuck.
The 138 guests who regis
tered were from several towns
in southern Oregon and north
ern California. Many express
ed interest in the work being
carried on at the center, and
a large number signed up
for classes. Several took a
tour of the rest of the build
ing, used as a park ware
house by the City of Medford
and expressed ideas and how
the remainder of the space
could be developed into a
new and larger building for
use by those enrolled in the
classes and programs.
' "One of the intangible bene
fits coming out of the Senior
Center projects is the feeling
of warmth and good fellow
ship which has resulted among
class members," one hostess
stated. "Most of them were
strangers in the beginning, but
now they enjoy one another
as they learn a new skill.
It was stressed that Rogue
Valley Council on Aging,
which sponsors these projects,
is appreciative of the contin
ued support of the city, its
officials and the Park and
Recreation commission which
maintains this center.
