That scene, how-1 ever, had taken place in Gyobyu village with me "in khee-deep mud and with the rain beating down into my face as we pre pared the land and planted the rice seedlings. Looking down at the hard and dry ground noV, one could hardly believe that it was all just mud and water six months prior. Mweyoegyi is also located in the sugar cane growing belt of Buiima. Since it is the period also for cane harvesting, this means double duty along the work lines for everybody. I worked several days cutting the tall stalks of cane and still other days crushing out the juice. As in the rice harvesting, there 'is no modern machinery employed and everything is done by hand or home con- ever, a new sugar refinery plant about twenty miles from the village and many of the vil lages are now shipping their cane directly by train to the plant. This is certainly a big step forward for the sugar in dustry of Burma. In the Pegu Yoria mountains I learned the art of elephant riding. Before my first at tempt, it took a lot of coaching from the men working in the lumber camp; but, once up, 1 soon felt at home. The ele phants ot Burma are massive animals, standing as high as eight to twelve feet, and they make the elephants 1 have seen in the zoos look like babies. Their strength is tremendous and there seems to be no end to their driving and pulling powers as they roll the huge logs down to the rivers or sawmills. The days I passed while straddled "Mr. America" (the name we all called the huge tusked elephant that was mine while in the camp) were some of the happi est Of my life. "Mr. America" and I became closo friends and in a way I think he- sensed that I was a littlei unsure of myself, because he was always careful to choose the best paths and he never walked under a limb that was hanging so low it would knock me off, The day I left the camp he came down to the train to see me, off The . Burma IFYE evaluation conference was held at the State Agricultural Institute of Yyinmana during the middle of ' December. It was good to meet the 1959 Burmese exchangees to the United States and to hear some of the opinions on the American way, of life. The pur pose of the conference, the con ference is sponsored by the Ford Foundation, is to make recom mendations and plans for the future IFYE programs between Burma and the U. S. A. This year the conference was under the direction of Mr. J. O. Ar- jmour, who is American advisor for the college, and special pups! was TI Ra Wan. phief Government. There were twenty-one IFYE's present and I feel that much progress and good j achievement was made. I might add that the Burmese IFYE's listed their favorite American foods as the holdog and the hamburger. With the IFYE conference over, I was then guest of the college for one week. I visited the classes, presented several speeches, and took part in the general life of the college. The college is a joint project with funds for ' its operation coming from the Ford Foundation and the Burmese Government. There are around 300 students, all males,' enrolled and at the com pletion of the two-year course they receive a diploma which entitles them to begin work in the Department of Agriculture. The college was founded in 1948 and has since been a great in fluence in helping to shape the agricultural policies of the country. My six months experience in Burma has all too soon come to its end. I'll be back home on January 26 after traveling through more of the East, then the Middle East, and finally through Europe. I will visit , India, Lebanon, the Holy Land. . Egypt, Greece, Italy, Switzer- j land, France, Germany and j England. In short, before I ar-1 rive home I'll have made a trip! around tne world.
