their farm home, Miss Bostandust
will participate in all family
activities, both work and play.
Her occupation in Iran is COM
parable to that of an American
home demonstration agent, a
Women's activities specialist with
the community development or
ganization, and she is very in
terested in the rural Woman's S
life in America.
Personal statistics inc1u e
three brothers, aged l9, 25 and
% and 34-yearold sister, while
Miss Bostandust herself is 81.
She has completed six years of
primary and three years of
secondary schooling and has
studied sewing and embroidery
at the Art School for two years.
She has lived on a small farm
for two years where cotton,
wheat, figs and melons are the
chief crops. Sheep, goats, cattle
and poultry are the chief live
stock.
As a member of the Moslem
faith. she cannot eat pork. Her
organizational experience has
been with the scouts club and
she has special interest in vege-
table gardening, fruit preserva-
tion and home decorating. She
lists crafts as her major hobby.
Miss Bostandust understands
English if it is spoken slowly
but her native language is Per-
ian. She also speaks Arabic.
In Iran the Bonds guest is
the supervisor of women dehyars
in the Garmsar area which is
about seventy-five miles from
Tehran. She has twelve village
girls working with village women
under her direction. They teach
sanitation, child care, nutrition
and other domestic arts, in ad-
dition to literacy classes.
Her special interests are in
increasing her knowledge of
vegetable gardening, food pres
ervation and the various handi-
crafts which farm girls and farm
women perform in the United
States.
Arriving in New York City on
May 2, Miss Bostandust is visit
ing farms in Ohio and Minnesota
and will leave for home in
November.
The objective Of the IFYE pro-
ject is dedicated to the belief
that understanding people is the
foundation of world peace.
Through giving farm youth an
opportunity to learn another way
of life by living it, the project
helps rural young people to
understand the problems and
attitudes Of rural people in other
parts of the world.
Miss Bostandust recently spent
an evening in Caldwell visiting
at some OF the newer ranch-type
homes in the area, including that
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Moore
on Chautauqua Court. There she
was much impressed with the
sunken patio built in the back
of the Moore home and expressed
delight in seeing such an
unusual feature in American
housing. She is much interested
in home management and the
way American homemakers do
things.

~ History is a living, breath
ing thing for Miss Agnes
Downey.
That's why her career as
q. park historian with the
National Capital Parks seems
more like fun than work to
her.
Right now she's assigned to
the NCP's current project Of
restoring the Old Stone
House in Georgetown. So she
spends a good part Of her
working day there. pouring
over old records or following
UP contacts with people who
have offered leads in finding
some of the authentic 18th
century furnishings that will
go into it.
But what attracts Miss
Downey most of all to her
type of work is not the fur
nishings so much as the
people who lived in those old
houses.
."You get to know the peo-
pie of the past and how they
thought and realize the uni
versatility Of human nature"
she unused.
Interpretation
But far from living in the
past, Miss whey feels
strongly that the real pur-
pose in knowing the past is
meaningful in the present
and permitting these mean
ings to be valued for the
future.

Miss Agnes Downey
Works in the Post

She thinks it's a mistake
for tour guides to treat the
past and the people who lived
in it as if it were another
planet because it results in
disinterest and boredom for
the tourist. Children espe-
cially she notices can have
their interest awakened Just
by the way the facts are
interpreted and presented.
Miss Downey got her first
experience at this sort Of
thing when she took a sum-
mer job at Arlington House
following her first year of
teaching after graduation
from Dunbarton College here.
She never went back to
teaching. Her summer Job
offered too much of q
challenge.
Still Trying

masters degree in history"
