Bruckner tells the story Of theil
armless child. She gives to their
son much of the credit for teach
ing them the hard lessons along
the way, until their lives were so
filled with happiness that they
wanted to share their experience
with others, to show that God
does not withhold one blessing
without granting another in its
place. Out of her mothers heart
she started to put down their
story.
1t begins with the birth of Billy
and relates their shock when told
their son had no arms. She tells
of their refusal to see their baby
and how, when the time came for
her to go home, they placed him
in another hospital.
Then came those terrible days
when the hospital informed them
the baby was losing weight, be-
coming weaker, his life despared
of. The crisis passed and as Billy
fought his way back to health they
fought their way to the decision
they must make-to take the baby
home.
With this decision came prob
lens aplenty. the stares of the
curious, teaching Karen, 8, to ac-
cept the fact that her brother was
different; training their son to
live as nearly as possible a normal
life.
Finding a publisher was a prob |
lem, too, until Mr.. Bruckner got |
the idea to talk it over with the
chairman of the English depart
ment at The City College of New
York City, the college whose
School of Business he had attend
ed. Prof. Edgar johnson lent a
listening ear and a quick hand.
On the spot he called his own

A Ride Around Iran
By DR.. EVERETT r. HALBROOK, Head
Department of Poultry Industry
Montana SateC OUeee

an ancient legend of the marching of
armies and camel trains under the
shade of forest trees all the way from
Shiraz to Isfahan.
Forests Gone
Since there is no evidence of forests
at the present time along this route,
the history professor was asked what
had caused the depletion of this his
torically famous forest. He thought that
it was due to the destruction of irriga-
ton dams by Genghis Khan and his
Mongols when he invaded Persia some
1900 years ago, and also the ancient
and present practice of making char
coal from wood to serve for cooking
and heating.
AS we passed on through southern
Iran, we observed in the mountains of
the southwest the huge piles of charcoal
along the highway. From these and the
smoke drifting skyward in the remote
recesSeS of the mountains where some
wood could still be found, indicating
where the charcoal was being made,
we could understand what had hap
pened to the ancient forests of Persia.
Oil and even coal are not a common
fuel in Iran even where these products
are abundant. Charcoal and cow chips
are the common fuels. The production
of the former is destructive of the for
ests which remain, and the use of the
COW chips for fuel rather than fertilizer
is destructive of the SOIL
Trade Route
Our route out of Isfahan was south
eastward through the city of Yezd to
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-09-01

Herman, trip of about 600 miles over
a rough graveled roadbed which re-
quired either a stopover at night in
Yezd or about 16 hours of travel. AS we
drove along the road we passed donkey
after donkey loaded with produce NOV
ing towards the Isfahan market. Camel
trains were also seen but were much
less numerous than donkeys.
High pigeon roosts, which were con-
structed of mud and were used for the
collection of pigeon manure, were OBJ
served in their tower-like forms. This
is one of the few sections of Iran in
which these elaborate structures are
fOund-one of the few places in which
the value of fertilizer seems to be ap-
preciated.
A newcomer to Iran must wonder at
the mounds of earth along the valleys
leading in straight line as rule to-
wards village. These are the famous
ganatS of Iran which deliver drinking
and irrigation water to the villages and
fields. They are really underground
tunnels, man-made, which carry water
from some source, such as a spring, to
where it is needed.
Underground bitches
These tunnels are sometimes 100
kilometers (about as to so miles, long.
Wells. have been dug down to these
tunnels every 100 yards or so, through
which the dirt is removed in the con-
struction and also through which the
tunnels are cleaned annually or as fire.
quently as necessary in order to allow
a good flow of water 1t is these mounds
of earth, resulting from the excavation
of the wells and connecting underground
tunnel, which the visitor riding along
the highways of Iran sees. We passed
one ganat which had been filled as {
result of flood.
The scenery along the highway be
tween Herman and Isfahan is very
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-09-01

much like that of other sections of
Iran-barren, rolling to mountainous,
with little vegetation excepting in the
villages where irrigation water is avail
able.
Flocks of sheep and goats were fire.
quently seen nibbling at something
among the rocks and sand which was
seldom visible to us from the car. We
wondered how they kept alive with no
more forage available to them. We
could better appreciate the value of the
fat tail on the sheep as source of re-
serve energy.
Ancient Fort
We arrived in Herman about 10 at
night and found place to sleep in a
modern bed in a Point Four guest
house. The next morning we saw an
ancient fort built on a hill overlooking
the modern city of Herman. This was
holiday, Friday, the Moslem Sabbath,
so we climbed the hill to overlook the
city.
1t was an excellent view. We looked
down into the individual mudwalled
compounds of the various homes and
out onto the flat roofs of the village
homes where the inhabitants sleep dur
ing the warmer months of the year We
could see the narrow winding street,
hardly wide enough in many places for
cars to travel, but lined with pedestri-
ans and donkeys. In the distance was
the bazaar, a rooted over street with
shoDs lining each side
We walked down to the bazaar a little
later in the day and observed it in more
detail. Beggars followed us as we
walked along. One woman was unus-
ually persistent and. although I gave
her few rials, she was not satisfied
and moved over to follow my more
prosperous looking companion. Our in
terpreter quoted her as saying that he
should give her lots of money 1t wa:
not until we had gone through half the
bazaar, covering several blocks, ant
my companion had also provided 4;
generous tip, that this woman left us
Bearded Orator
We passed a large gathering in on
section of the bazaar where a long
bearded orator was going through cor
tortions and appealing to the crowC
Our interpreter told us that he was
religious evangelist called a Dervisl
who travelled from place to plac
preaching and reciti2g poetry or verse
from the Koran, the Moslem Bible.
We went through the crowd ami
stares and little misgiving as to whS
reaction might occur among the Mo
lens at the sight of Christians, but
soldier, noticing our hesitancy, escorte
us around the crowd and to the otht
side in order that we might proceed {
our journey through the bazaar.

1T WAS THE month of February in
the year 1854 by our Roman calendar
and the month of Esfand, year 1882,
by the Iranian calendar when this trip
was made into South Iran. The begin
ming of spring was evident on all sides.
Gardens were being planted, grass was
growing rapidly and early flowers were
in bloom.
The trip took us into the Ostan capital
cities of Isfahan, Herman, Shiraz and
Ahwaz, together with additional visits
to adjacent cities of BAN, near Herman,
and Absdan and Shuster near Ahwaz,
together with passing visits to cities
such as Yezd, Gum and Araq on roads
enroute. The last half of the story of
this journey will be reported in later
issue of this publication.
The signs of spring were not so preva-
lent in Isfahan, the ancient capital of
Persia and one of the more centrally
located cities of Iran, as in the more
southern cities. Isfahan is the third or
fourth largest city in Iran with popu-
lation of about 100000 people. In addi-
ton to being famed as the capital of
Iran in the time of Shah Abbas' reign,
it is now and has always been famous
for its art.
Art Capital of Iran
1t is truly the art capital now Of
Iran and has been for ages. The shops
are crowded with displays of silver
copper and bronze trays and vases witt
carvings of ancient Persian kings anC
scenes. Enameled and inlaid boxes, pic
ture frames and trays are also com
mon. Doorways and windows of religi
Gus mosques and even shops and home
are frequently lined with artisticall
colored inlaid glazed tile. The dome
and walls of mosques are abundant
decorated with this tile for which 1;
fahanians are famous and are fire.
