J. I). Hampton, former vocational
agriculture teacher at Brady

“But many of the people here

have heard usually form their
ideas from movies from Holly-

Hampton resigned in August to
take an overseas mission with the
State Department. Accompanied
by his wife and four children, he I

us posted on the general new-

We are still trying to udupt
ourselves to this weather here
along the Cuspian Sea. Many peo-
ple here «ny that the weather this
year is not the usual winter weath-
er. Since we arrived in Saii. Iiun,
Oct. 13, we have had atiout 10 to
15 day* of sunshine. Even so.
about half of the sunny days have
been rather chilly. The rest of
the time it has been wet, wet and
cold, or just cold.
This area of Iran is very low .
In fact, Anri i* about 13 met-
er* above sea level. It is one
of the citrus and vegetable
producing area* of Iran. The
oranges, lemons, and tanger-
ines are all turning now, and
everywhere you l<**k you *ee
orange trees. The area is also
the most important rice,
wheat, and cotton producing
area.
We arrived during the rice und
cotton liui vesting time and it is
all done by manual labor. Nearly
all of the fields are too small
for big machinery except in the
main wheat area.
There are very few Americans
in this area of Iran. In Sari. I

but two other American** live
here, but they do not have their
families with them as yet. One U
from Pennsylvania and thu other i»
from Florida. It .seems like we
all stay pretty busy because there
is plenty of work to be done. The
three advisors must work in nearly
all field- imaginable.
Much of the time up to the pre-
sent lia - been spent making ac*
i|iiuintaiiee.s, visiting schools, vis-
iting shops and mills, attending
meetings ami conferences. This i-t
all necessary to get a sketch of the
complex ami compliciated picture
of education in this country. There
are many facets that enter the
picture here that we don’t even
coll-lder ill the states. Some Con-
cepts that we consider of major
importance are givt ii minor atten-
tion here, and vi a versa.
...
It is predominantl\ a man'*
aariet v in this country, hut
there arc signs of change. The
people might he divided into
iiImiii) four classes: the rich,
the fair-ta-well doers, the
poor an I the poor poor.
The two upper classes wear
nio.-tly European or Wet style
■ lollies, but many of tile women
still u c tbe chad it. a long wide
cloth that is wrapped mound the
body and over tin* head, covering
all but I lie eye Yet underHeath
the chad ir they wear dresses as
women would in America.
One fellow -ays they wear the
eltudnr to hide the riot lies (poor
and dirtyl normally worn, but the
chadar i* u * d to rover a female
because of the time-old custom and
becaii e of religious belief.
The Ite/.a Shah, father of the
pro cut Shah, outlawed or banish-
ed the ehadar, but the present
Shah doesn't enforce it. The
* liadar, however, is becoming u
thing of tin- past a - women become
elevated m this o< iety. The latter
two groups, the poor und the poor
poor, wear what they can best
afford, but I have noticed that
few of the peasant women wear
the chadar. Ii would ju t he in
the way of their working in the
fields,

For the most part. ' he peo-
ple here are very friendly and
courteous. In Nmenran style,
when we have a guest we
would serve coffee, hut in Iran
tci is the beverage. If you
attend a meeting, first off
you get a cup of tea, and if
the meeting lasts for two or
three hours you may lie served
tea from once to half a do/en
times. \t an <-ducation confer-
ence in Morgan, I drank about
III to 12 cups of tea a dav.
