India is a land filled with contrasts. There is about every kind of religious belief, color of skin, language, type of dress, mode of transportation, etc., found in the great country of India. There is beauty, friendliness, poverty, filth, great wealth, learning of the highest degree, yet ignorance that is appalling.

I find that young people here have the same needs, interests, desires and abilities of our young people in America. I have enjoyed the friendship of my students very much. They speak English with a “British’’ accent, so they find my Southern speech quite different. (Often I can’t understand them either.) Incidentally, I was quite happy to meet Jocelyn Gordon, Spray, N.

Under the old method, using manpower, push ing the heavy beams required consid erable effort. Also, the passageway leading to the slashers sloped down ward. Therefore, “holding back’’ the beam on the downhill trip was rather difficult. Use of the tractor eliminated these problems. Operator shown is J. O. Shorter, head slasher on second shift.
