Miss Puhr, who is the informa-
ton specialist in the Extension
Division of the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration, saw the Middle East
and the West meet daily at the
American University of Beirut.
Among her fellow students were
United States fliers and a num-
ber of employees of Arabian Amer
lean Oil Co. (Aramco), all Of
whom attended a seminar, in
English, on Arabian life and cul-
ture.
A picturesque group of Saudi
Arabians in native costume were
enrolled also in English courses
in the university.
One of the events of the sum-
mer was the reception given the
cosmopolitan student body by the
university's president, DR.. Stephen
B. L. Penrose, jr., and Mrs.
Penrose.
Visited With Miss Mcdowell.
Miss Puhr lived in a hostel that
serves as a women's dormitory
during the university's winter
sessions. After hours she enjoyed
visiting with Miss Dorothy Nc
Dowell and her mother. formerly
of this city. Miss Mcdowell, who
is now the head of the YWCA
in Syria and Lebanon, is the
daughter of John c. Mcdowell,
who was for many years head of
the Bureau of Dairy Industry.
Throughout the centuries Leb-
anon has passed from one in
vading conqueror to another,
Marie Puhr reminded me. The
Phoenicians, the Romans. the
Crusaders, the Ottoman Empire
and a French mandate have all
left their influence on it since the
dawn Of Christianity. 1t Is now

Too little emphasized, in Miss

work the Near East Foundation is
doing to fight disease and foster
better sanitation through its
health and nutrition clinics. "The
foundation is introducing new
seeds, developing irrigation prof.

Trans-Jordan. Syria and Lebanon
today Is the large number Of ref
ugees from Palestine who have
come over into these countries" 4"
Miss Puhr told me. Trans-Jordan,
with a population of about a quar-
ter of a million, has somewhere
near similar number of refu-
gees living in tents pitched on its
hillsides.
In her visit to one of the refu-
gee camps near Sidon and Tyre
she saw some 5000 to 1000 refu-
gees crowded in, IL to a tent. The
Red Cross is among the co-operat-
ing agencies making every possible
effort to alleviate human misery
and squalor among these people
whose constant plea is to return
to their own villages. Eager as the
male refugees are for gainful work,
it is practically impossible to pro-
vide it for them because of the
economic stringencies in the lands
upon which they are quartered.
During a weekend stay in
Damascus, Miss Puhr was the din
ner guest of DR.. COST Zumreik,
the president of the University Of
Syria. and his wife. They told her
of the increasing enrolment of
the young women of the republic
of Syria in the university's schools
of law and medicine, and of the
general discard of the veil on the
part of the women of the higher
classes for Western dress. They
emphasized, too, the movement
under way to extend the vote to
women who have the equivalent of
a high school education.

Bobby Zraik, clever fly
weight of the Local II club
who won the city novice
championship a short while
ago, will head the Local IL
entries in the annual fistic tour
ney sponsored by the YMCA.
Bobby made a fine showing, a
few weeks ago, as he edged
Lawrence Dick to receive the
judges decision over the Local
g battler on the Burke For Con-
gress show in the Sports Arena.
Another Local II fighter who
is expected to make a good
showing in the middleweigF
class is Dick Gooch, recenT1
discharged from the United
States Navy. Dick has had seven
fights while in the service, win
ming all seven. He is in good
shape and handles himself like
a veteran, according to the Lo-
cal IL boxing instructors.
The third Local II boxer who
will compete in the "Open" is
Bill Borchardt, flyweight, and a
fairly newcomer to the game.
Bill has not had much expert
ence but shows, a willingness to
mix it with his more experience
ed sparring partners. He is de-
Iveloping strong punch and is
learning how to box well.
The largest number of entries
from a single gymnasium will
be from Local 8, CIO, as nine
boys will represent that boxink9
club in the tournament. The PoS'

night at the Civic Auditorium
Annex began taking shape today
with the announcement by
Matchmaker Sid Goldberg that
Irish Jimmy Sanders of Warren
o., currently campaigning out of
Pittsburgh, has signed for one
of the 10-rounders.
Sanders will meet Ted Bussey
of Detroit, one of the busy box
ing brothers from that city, in
half of the main go under the

rounds with young Art Swiden
of New Kensington, Pa. They'll
wear 16-ounce gloves.
Goldberg, matchmaker for the
Star Boxing Club, plans a So

In Sanders, he has secured
one of the hottest boxers in
the business. A junior welter-
weight, Irish Jimmy has been
winning his way to top rank
ing and soon will be ready to
face only the tOp-nOtchers.
He has won all but three of

Rudy Zadell of Barberton, o. He
also has won from Sammy Sc
Greet, who has appeared in To-
ledo; Tony Mancuso, Jack Bes-
selman, Bobby Simmons and
Jack Armitage.
One Of his losses was to Vince
Foster, Omaha's most recent gift
to top-drawer fight cards, and he
need not apologize for losing to
a campaigner of Fosters caliber.
Vince meets Tony Pellone Fri

Garden, in the 10-round main

Bussey may not have Sanders

has overcome those handicaps
against others of that bracket
