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."
