Iran Now Modern Nation, Klamath
Girl Discovers In Two-Year Stay
By KITH KING
Now o Ihe old traditions of the
country now known as Iran, once
Persia, are beinR supplanted by
the ways of the West and visitors
to the land of walled cities ol old
nre often disappointed in (:
they find.
Today, says Nancy Dewey.
Klamath Falls, just back rum
two years with the State Depart
ment of Foreign Service, sky
scrapers are rising where a
'Great King" once sat upon a
marble thrune on the shores of
the Narrows in the Dardenellcs
and poured "a libation from a;
gold cup into the Hellespont" as
the Persian "Immortals" led the
way across a bridge of boats to
the conquest of Athens.
Pre-war Persia was steeped in
poverty, torn by factions, infest
ed with brigands, squeezed
between foreign powers, known
as "the land where no water is.
It is now mostly outside the
cities that the old Persia persists

Boy Romeo Makes News
By Tapping Coin Boxes
SACRAMENTO. Calif. ILTI'-I
At the lender age of 16 Ellsworth,
'Sonny Wisecarver made nation-)
al licadhnrs and earned the mon
iker "Boy Homen" when he eloped
with a serviceman's wife.
Smaller headlines appeared
down through the years concern
ing Wisecarver. now M. He ran
up a Inlnl of five minor arrests
in California, Nevada, and Utah,
mainly, he said because people
remembered Wisecarver the "Bny
Romeo."
Wisecarver is in trouble with
the law acain today. But this time
he'd be in print no matter what
his name was
Deputy Dut. Atly Herb Jackson

Friday on two counts of burglary
after, police said, a telephone
company employe spotted them
breaking into a box.
Sonnv made the big headline
when he ran away with Mrs. Ele
anor Deveny. 2o. a Long Beach
Calif., mother of two. The couple
left a Long Beach party for "ham
burgers" and ended up in Oro-
ville. Calif.. 300 miles away.
Mrs. Deveny said Sonny was
"more of a man al 16 than a lot
of men at 35" and "I love him
more than I do my husband."
Wisecarver's mother charged
her with contributing to the de
linquency of a minor.
modern apartment in a modern
city, Tehran, where the drink
ing water was good and food plen
tiful for the 2.000.000 population.
The altitude of Tehran is 4,000
feet.
She found tb.i liauspuitatioii in
expensive, a welcome find when
no private car is available. Rides
about the city cost 20 cents. Vege
tables of many varieties were
plentiful and reasonable, as were
fruits and rice and tea.
The highway between Tehran
and the Caspian Sea across the
18,000-foot Elbiiiz mountain range
was excellent highway.
Nancy, who graduated with high
honors from Oregon Stale Univer
sity and studied Russian while in
college, visited as many of the
interesting places in that part of
the world as could be crammed
into weekends in two years.
She liked the Far East better
than Europe, comparing the two
places in the world after visiting
Euroe en route home.
Cooking practices were far dif
ferent than in the United States
where dinners can be whipped up
in minutes with potato flakes, froz
en meats, prepared gravies and
salads ready for the table.
Women of Iran frequently spend
two days in preparation of a sin
gle meal, usipg a great deal of
rice in menus.
A tour of the Holy Land lasted
two weeks and it was there that
she found the children more beau
tiful than in many other coun
tries. Skin coloring varied wide
ly from light "toast" to very dark.
Education opportunities are be
ing increased rapidly and attend
ance at adult classes is being
urged.
The old tradition of barter in
the small shops continues but is
dying out with the building ofl
fine super markets.
There were many changes in
the two years she lived in Tehran
all slanted toward Western ease of
living.
She returned with hand wrought
silver filagree jewelry, a Persian
rug, mosaic and carved copper,
and a black Chador, worn over
the head and body and to the
eyes. The large square of black
or white cloth is held across the
face by the teeth. Even small
girls wear this covering. Black is
for Sunday best.
Nancy will return to Washing
ton. D.C., and await another as
signment, which she hopes will be
in the Orient.

Some Forest Roads
Still Snow-Closed
With Ihe improving weather
conditions, many people are start-
to drive through parts of the
Wincma National Forest. Howev
er, many of the roads are still
closed by snow. The Chemult Dis
trict ranger reports that the roads
above 5.000 feet are blocked
by snow, and that most, other
roads are wet and soft. Wind
falls are being cut out now. and
is anticipated that all roads
on the Chemult District should
he open by June 1. The trail to
Mafdu Lake is closed by snow.
On the Klamath District the
road to Lake of the Woods Resort
and Rainbow Campground is open.
Other roads are vcrv soft and
wet. The resort is not open yet.
According to reports, fishing has
been slow at the lake.
Trout fishing also remained
slow on the Chiloquin District.
The Spraguc and Sycan rivers
are clearing. Roads on the dis
trict arc improving north of the
Sprague River, but are impass
able to the south.
It is recommended that travel
be limited to surfaced roads un
til the roadbeds have settled.
Although fire danger is still low,
forest users are urged to put out
all campfircs and warming (ires
thoroughly. Ground cover is dry
ing rapidly, and abandoned fires
can creep out and cause damage.
Modoc Deer
Close Rapped
ALTURAS Modoc businessmen
and ranchers spoke out last week
in reply to the recent motion be
fore the game commission in Sac
ramento for closing of the Modoc
County deer season in 1963.
Speaking for the California Cat
tlemen's Association. John Weber,
first vice president, said, "We feel
that politics should be eliminat
ed from game management and
control. Game management takes
long range programming and
should be left in tlie hands of
those trained for the job."
Neal Phillips, Alturas business
man and former mayor of Al
turas, echoed the cattlemen's as
sociaton point of view. "At pres
ent the game commission is ban
died about by special interests
and sportsmen not trained for
game management. Give the job
to the people trained (or it,
namely the Fish and Game De
partment." Brunell Christcnscn, Modoc
