Murphy Couple Tours Central America; 11,000 Mile Trip By JOAN MILLEMANN Mail Tribune Correspondent Murphy H ave you ever 'wanted to take a "dream va cation," one spent in strange surroundings among un familiar people? One that would include a visit to an isolated "Carib" village- on the shores of the Caribbean sea, and an evening spent collecting relics from the ruins of an ancient Mayan village? - Who hasn't secretly yearned to make that kind of trip? Well, the L. J. Buddenhagens of Murphy . have just com pleted a three-month, 11,000 mile trip that included all this and much more. 'Plans for their trip grew out of the fact that their son, Ivan, a plant pathologist spe cializing in diseases of the banana, is now employed by United Fruit company and lives with his wife, Mary Beth, and their children in La Pima, a small town in Honduras, Central America. The town is near the second largest city in Honduras, Teguciagalpa, and not far from the Caribbean coast. They decided to visit La Pima and, rather than the speedy flight by plane to Hon duras, they elected to make a leisurely automobile trip and thus enjoy the opportu nity of seeing the country and visiting whatever out of the way points of interest might appeal to them. Cross Border With this in mind, they left Murphy shortly after Christ mas and, crossing the Mexi can border at Nogales, fol lowed the Inter-American highway, a highway system which parallels the western coast of Mexico most of the way, bears inland slightly through Guadalajara, Mexico City, and then follows the coast again through Guate mala, and El Salvador. Of the total of over 11,000 miles they traveled, 7,600 of them were clocked south of the bor der, with 5,100 of them taken up ' in. traveling the length of Mexico. Among the most interesting occurrences on the trip down was a side trip taken to Urua pan, a town near the famous volcano, Paricutin. Here they met an American couple mak ing the small town their home. Originally sent to the area as part of the American gov ernment's program of sending technicians and engineers to establish sanitary and effec tive water systems, the young man resigned- upon comple tion of this job and has opened up a completely na tive industry. He. has estab lished a weaving business, using hand looms operated by the Indians of the village, and with his wife, a talented de signer formerly from New York City, makes materials woven of native raw materials which have been washed, dyed and prepared locally. Friendliness In answer to questions as to the attitude of the people in Central American countries toward Americans, the Bud denhagens. said they met with nothing but friendliness and courtesy during their trip. ' It was while visiting their son at La Pima that they made the day's trip to the re mote Carib village. It is .be lieved the Caribs are descend ed from African Negroes who were shipwrecked in the Caribbean while on their way to be sold as slaves. They live in two cities on the coast, one of which can be reached only by traveling in a "burra," a small hand-operated ' rail road car. After several miles of this travel, one must walk about 1V4 miles through the jungle to come to their vil lage. Women of the village carry all supplies purchased from outside the town on their heads from the point where the railroad ends. In this vil lage of about 2,000 people, the Buddenhagens were im pressed by the cleanliness of Tablets By R. E. NEALON the Homes and the streets of the town and the dignity and friendliness of the people to whom tourists were an oddity. When they explained to a young man of the village acting as a guide that they were thirsty, he immediately procured, a cocoanut from a nearby tree, sliced off the top with his machete, and gave it to them to drink the cocoa nut milk. Food was provided in one of the small, thatched houses of the village, cooked in a simple clay oven, and served on spotlessly clean utensils. - Mayan Village Not far from the United Fruit homes at La Pima is a site where an ancient Mayan village apparently stood. Here, in the loose earth that has been turned oyer in ex cavating, relics and artifacts can be found. A small whistle shaped like a little figure, brilliantly colored pieces of clay jugs, and tiny intact clay incense burners are among things Mrs. Budden hagen found just one evening spent looking around among the loose pieces of earth. In commenting on traveling conditions throughout the trip, the Buddenhagens said they had been successful in finding adequate motel or hotel accommodations at all times, the only necessity be ing that of concentrating on the larger cities as far as overnight stops were con cerned since the smaller ones were without accommoda tions for travelers. They found costs of food and lodg ing less expensive in Mexico and about the same as U.S. prices in Guatemala and Hon duras. In comparing Mexico as it is today compared with how it looked in 1949 when Bud- denhagen last visited there, he commented on the tremen dous progress being made in roads, enginering projects, irrigation systems, and other things which gave evidence of technical advances. Table Rock - A fair-sized crowd, considering that the smudge season is still with us, attend the potluck dinner and meeting of the Table Rock Community club last Satur day night, at the schoolhouse. The business meeting con sisted of discussing the need for doing some cleaning up along our roadway, and the appointing of a committee to investigate the monument erected in 1928 by Crater Lake chapter, Daughters 'of the American Revolution and the General Joseph Lane so ciety, to mark the place where General Lane signed the treaty with the Rogue River Indians. The fence and prem ises are said to be in need of paint and repairs. It is not uncommon to ask a policeman for help, but a b't unusual to have a policeman ask you for help. This happen ed to me the other day wEen Dick Hamilton, of the Med ford police force, walked up from the river looking for help. He had come out this way to do a little cat fishing, and drove his car into a sand pit. His efforts to get it out only made it settle deeper, un til it was down to the fenders. It took a long cable, so that our little tractor could get a toe hold on firm ground, to pull the car. out and get the policeman , on his way. Prob ably we should have given him a ticket for overtime parking, but we have much respect and sympathy for the police; They have a tough and thankless-job, and it is get. ting worse all the time. After reading in a recent issue of the M.T. that the lo cal power rates are the high est in the state and consider ing the other disadvantages local producers have to con tend with, such as distance to the big markets and competi tion from other sections, one wonders how our economic situation is as good as it is. In lookihg over items in lo cal stores, you see that only a small percentage are pro duced or manufactured here. ',. Local products in our tores consists mostly of poultry and dairy products. Milk is one product . that keep, money circulating in in county, but judging from the large quantifies of bottled beer on ihe shelves of grocery stores and the empty beer bottles along ihe highways and in recre ation spots, many of our citiiens prefer 16 drink beer which' is not a home prod uct. Our exports consist mostly of pears and lum ber, and these businesses as of now, are not in a very healthy condition. Of course social security and welfare checks are help ing to stabilize the economy more than some people real ize. We asked a small store operator some time ago if so cial i security and welfare checks were much help to his business. His reply was Brother, if it wasn't for those checks I wouldn't have any business." This was during the time when politicians were telling us we never had it so good, '.k' , While we are talking about using home products, we no ticed this in the M.T. 40 years ago column. "A barrel of moonshine has been seized by the sheriff on a ranch in the Beagle district." This at least was a home product. Since the cougar stories are still going we will try to take another shot to maybe clear up some points. Someone has said that the screams mother heard were made by a pan ther, which is correct. But according to Kerby Tant, gov ernment i trapper, panthers, cougars, and California lions are the same, all belonging to the cat family. He believes they can scream when they want to. , " Mrs. Eva Ringo, Mrs. Ber ihold Barnum and Mrs. Ruis Jamison were brief visitors at our house Friday. Mrs. Ringo and Mn. Bar num are former Table Rock residents, and we spent some enjoyable moments reminiscing. Mrs. Barnum got one of ihe old school registers and was looking over her record as to at tendance and grade while a student in the local school. We heard her say she never missed a day, which was ex cellent, considering that in those days there were no buses, and pupils walked to school, and ihe school house was some "little" distance from her ham." Bud Hayes, who is in some way connected with the Steve Wilson logging outfit, we don't know just what he does there, but his clothes are al ways clean and snazzy, with no mud or grease spots, like others of the grang who wres tle tires and trucks, asked us if we wouldn't write our col umn twice a week. He said he clipped it out and sent it to his brother in Sacramento who would like to get it more often. Thanks for your flat tery, Bud. There will be a Sunday schol rally held in the school house Friday night, at 7:30. There will be a contest among the Sunday schools, with ques tions on the book of fhinp- pians as part of the program. Our thought for the day is an old slogan used many years ago by what was then called the Medford Chamber of Com merce and we thought that it would do for the Rogue valley as of today. "With Medford trade is Medford made." POISON OAK BOTHER YOUf WORRY NO MORE . Uif B t H. Poison Oak Lotion. SiHiflctlon Cuir mtted, at youi Favorite Drug Store.
