months exploring the caves
near Tehran and on the
Caspian shore.
II was received by the
poorest Of villagers In their
mud huts. I sat with them
on rugs slipping tea served
with graciousness that is
rare In our best Of schools.
These villagers, who knew
nothing Of modern life, took
me to ut-of-the-way caves.
In some no human being had
ever set foot" she relates.
81 found the Mesgarabad
caves in the Elburz mountain
a veritable storehouse Of gyp-
sum crystals" she adds.
Unused Specimen
Among the many specimens
she collected Is one which
has q bubble Of water or liq-
uified air trapped inside.
which moves up and down
in the crystal.
Then there is another spe-
cimen In which specks Of
dirt have been trapped, and
they too move from one end
to the other.
Both have to be shaken
like Q Thermometer to get
the bubble or the specks NOV
ing.
And still another find was
a piece Of rare stiIbite which
looks like corn. seeds hap
hazardly stuck together.
Perhaps Mrs. Czayo's most
beautiful possession Is q piece
composed Of silvery pyrite,
quartz and siderite. The lat
ter sticks to the piece In the
shape Of tiny flowers.
AS member Of the Mineral
Society Of Washington and
the Lapidary Society Of
Washington, Mrs. Czayo has
been going on frequent field
trips to neighboring states.
She was member Of a team
that went to Herkimer, N. Y,
early this year. The most
humorous anecdote Of the
journey was when she drew
up q list Of the food to be
taken. including two quartzs
of coffee"
Muddy Hands
She recalls that for three
days she worked in the field
with her hands in the mud.
She came across a huge boul-
der. With difficulty she was
able to persuade her husband
to remove it. Under it she
found a real "vug" or crystal
line cavity full of the loveliest
possible crystals.
Her collection Of gems In
cludes green garnets which she
had cut and set in q pin;
also an aquamarine beryl
which she has had set in a
ring.
Mrs. Czayo does her own
gem-cutting. Her preform-
ing equipment is kept on q
table in the kitchen opposite
the stove. 81 don't know when
guests come whether they
will be served steaks or
stones" she says jokingly.
Her other gem-cutting and
gem polishing machinery is
in q separate room. Here she
puts on o yellow apron,
straps a magni-focuser over
her eyes, and spends hours
working on an expensive
faceting machine.
Mrs. Czayo's interest in the
hobby was aroused when she
took courses in gemology at
Roosevelt high school. Since
then she has studied the
subject under such authori-
ties as Col. John j. Livings-
ton, Miss Jewel Glass and DR..
George Swizter.

dent of the Chicago Board Of
Education.
Mr.. VIM. c.. Caples, Pres.

226 N. LaSalle Street
Chicago, Illinois
Dear Mr.. Caples:
1t has recently been brought
to our attention that, during
the holidays. parents of 100
9TH and 9th graders at Burn
side School, $50 East 91st
place, have been informed
that their children are to
report to the Gillespie School
at 93O1 South State street on
January 2, 1862.
We wish to express our dis
approval of such action, If
it is to occur, for 3 specific
reasons. First, this transfer
necessitates the travelling of
a number of children over
a distance of u to Is blocks
while the Perry School, whose
The Robbins eagle. (Robbins, Ill.) 1951-1963, 1962-01-06

facilities are not as taxed as
those at Gillespie. is nearer
to many of these children.
Secondly, the disruptive ex-
perience Of a transfer within
the closing 4 weeks of a
semester is handicap to the
average child.
Thirdly, it app ears once
again that the Board Of Eau-
cation is participating in an
obvious act of racial discrim-
nation and segregation by
not using facilities at the
Perry School, which is almost
twice as near to Burnside
than is Gillespie.
We urge your Immediate in
vestigation of this transfer;
and if it is to he executed,
we urge your immediate
questioning of the General
Superintendent OF Schools as
to why this transfer which
is in violation of the "com-
munity schools" policy of the
Board of Education.
Sincerely,
Rev. Carl A. Fuqua
