Al JUNIOR COUNCIL PRESENTED
PROGRAM ON COUNTRY OF IRAN

A most interesting program
on Iran, presented by Miss
Mary Mckenzie, was the fea-
ture of the All Junior Council
meeting held in the LeXing-
ton City Hall Saturday morn
ing.
Miss Mckenzie, ex-
tension service exchange stu
dent from Raymond, showed
color slides made during her
stay in the country. She point
ed out that Iran is a country
of great contrasts, noting the
differences in rainfall from
one section to another. Due to
the immense salt in the at
moSphere, many of the ma
tives carry cucumbers with
them to wash their eyes with
the juice, said the speaker.
She explained that the cities
are much like the ones in this
country, except of course for
the signs on the buildings.
One thing every city and viii
lage has is a GUIDE" which is
a channel of water running
down the center of the streets.
This water is used for every
purpose.
The native village homes
are made of mud and straw
and are very cool inside. Due
to the low economy of the
people Miss Mckenzie and
her companions lived with
Government employees. The
speaker stressed the need for
education in Iran stating that
80 per cent of the people can
not read or write. Schools
were built for the city chill
dren only. Their religion is
Moslem, with $50 of the
population being of that faith.
The other 2 per cent being
Christian and Jew.
On the agricultural side,
rice is the staple product.
Others are tobacco, wheat and
tea. The American Extension
Service is doing a lot to help
in the southern part of the
country, Miss Mckenzie said.
Continuing her talk on the
customs of the people, the
speaker told how they sit on
the floor to eat, taking off
their shoes before entering the
house. Before the meal, which
Holmes County herald., 1961-02-16

usually consists of several
dishes of rice, chicken and
mutton, they drink tea for
about an hour. Another un-
usual custom is their form of
dancing. When a dance is
given the girls gather in one
part of the village to dance
and the boys in another.
Miss Mckenzie believes
that Iran has a great future.
There has been much progress
in the past ten years. Her
hope is to return in another
ten years to see the progress
made. The purpose in the eX-
change student program is to
create international under
standing.
Donna Pierce, president,
called the meeting to order
after which Linda Dickard
gave the devotional and Mrs.
Doyle Rogers led in prayer.
Duane Tucker discussed the
forthcoming Radio Day to be
held on February 25th. Miss
Smith introduced the featured
speaker. Thirty-two members
attended this most interesting
meeting.

President Kennedy himself
told a news conference two
weeks ago Il think the kind of
response that we get to our
efforts for peace in this area
OaoS) will tell us something
about what kind of a future
our world is going to have"
Foreign ministers of the
SEATO this week in Bangkok
approved neutrality for Laos,
strategic buffer state between
the Communist and non-Com-
munist worlds in the Far East.
Laos is not a member of
SEATO but the eight-nation
alliance has taken the jungle
kingdom under it's protective
wing with a readiness to go to
her aid on request.
The main issue in the nego-
tiationS with the Communists
hinged on whether a cease fire
should come before or after the
convening of the neutrality
conference.
Aided by Red Airlift
The Western powers called
for a move to stop the fighting
first. The pro Communist
rebels have been strengthening
their position in Laos with the
help of Soviet arms airlifts.
There had been some specu-
lation that the Russians we're
stalling to give the rebels more
time to consolidate their hold
on a large part of the country
before agreeing to talks.
The SEATO ministers ex-
pressed hope for negotiations
on Laos but delivered a velvet
cloaked warning to the Rus
slams if the British proposal
was rejected.
They said that if there CON
tinues to be an active Com
muniSD military attempt to OBJ
tain control of Laos, members
of SEATO are prepared, with
in the terms of the treaty, to
take whatever action may be
appropriate to the circum-
stances"
United States Secretary of
State Dean Rusk sought a
stronger warning but ran into
objections from the French
who argued an outright ulti-
matum would likely antagonize
the Russians.
Mr.. Rusk has since re-
peatedly expressed his satisfac-
ton with the resolution that
emerged and declared 1t is ade-
quate to deal with the situa-

April Draft Call
At Record Low
BY the Associated Press


The Army yesterday issued a
draft call for 1900 men during
April. 1t was the lowest
monthly call since the Korean
War.
In February, the Defense De-
partment asked for 5000 men
and he March call was fol
5000.
In announcing the April call,
Assistant Secretary of Defense
Carlysle P. Lunge said the
smaller draft is due to higher
than expected Regular Army
enlistments and re-enlistments
