FRIENDLY Main street to the busiest
spot in the busiest city in the country
Grand Central Station in New York
Isaac Qutub, Arab youth who was
graduated from Bluffton college this
spring, has found the transition a
| strange one. In letter to his friends
at The News this week, Ike tells
what has transpired with him in the
past two months.
A social service major at Bluffton
| college, Ike is now an assistant to
a Travellers Aid Society caseworker,
and, lives with his brother, who is
working as assistant to the perman-
ent delegate of Jordan to the United
Nations.
1T is really a big swing from the
pattern of living in quiet, friendly
Bluffton to New York. have never
missed Bluffton as much as / do
now. One feels like a complete
stranger here and lost People are
not as friendly and seem always to
be running someplace. If say "hi''
or give a friendly look, they think
there is something wrong. Everyone
is suspicious of everyone else.
/ never knew about Travel
er's Aid, but now / realize what a
wonderful service they provide for
travellers young and old, handicap
ped, inexperienced and immigrants.
II sometimes put my Arabic to use
when we receive none-English speak
ing people, and almost all the case
workers assistants working with
Travellers Aid are from non-Ameri-
can nationality.
II felt that Bluffton college gave
me strong basic knowledge of social
work and now feel it is helping me
tremendously in my work.
1T is surprise that as part of
my work / must give direction in
the city and metropolitan area, when
myself, am a total stranger.
IN. Y. is twice as expensive as
Bluffton food, communications
or recreation. / am amazed by the
subway system. Many times l got
lost, but consider it fun to learn the
ways.
"One of the most exciting things /
have done was to take the trip by
boat around Manhattan Island. /
believe everyone who visits N. Y.
should take this trip.
"Tell my Bluffton friends to look
me up when they come to New York.
Call LA 40633 or PL 5-S451 or stop
by Travellers Aid booth in either the
Pennsylvania or Grand Central sta
TONS" Ike writes.
NOW MUST BE THE TIME to say
a few words in behalf of Henry White
and Henry Brown, those two inno-
cent, unsuspecting characters whose
names have appeared steadily in
these pages the past few weeks.
Until recently-to our knowledge
large eggs were large eggs, small
eggs were small eggs, white eggs
were, TO no ones particular surprise,
white, and the world went round and
round steadily and happily.
However our friends who furnish
the poultry prices for the weekly
market reports informed us of new
classification, which The Bluffton
News blithely reported as Henry
White and Henry Brown. Once upon
time these were common large
white and brown eggs.
After a few weeks of this foolish.
ness some of the farming readers
began to inquire just who, or what
Henry White and Henry Brown are
Just for the record we checked and
discovered what these eggs are. They
are clean, up-to-standard, top quality
grade A eggs which explains why
they draw the top prices from egg
buyers.
They also should be spelled
IiENNERY- which even to a city
farmer makes more sense on q
poultry page The Bluffton News here.
with stands corrected, Henry White
and Henry Brown have been fired
and once again the world goes round
and round quite smoothly.
