said to me, "My! She certainly
does keep busy, doesn't she?"
Ai:',I I answered, "In addition
to what you already know she
also plays the piano, sings in the
chttrch choir, studies voice, and
attends classes at night school for
a teaching degree. The most
relnarkablc thing about Lynn is
thai she is what most people
would consider handicapped, as
she has only 20/200 vision in her
good eye and almost no vision in
the other."
Jo gulped with astonishment.
While she was still thinking about
it, I said: "Besides, 1 think she is

course, it may be that I'm
prciudiccd. You see, she is my

Peace Corps Mem[ .=rs Return To Harstine
By LIZ ALLISON
Brian Burch, son of Mr. and
Mrs. 11. E. Burch of Point Wilson
has just returned from his fourth
year in the Peace Corp. The first
two years following graduation
from the University of
Washington School of Art and
Interior Design, were spent in
India. The last two years Brian
has been in Micronesia in the
Trust District Caroline Islands in
the South Pacific, a four hour trip
by air from Japan.
Saipan is the capitol of these
some 2,700 small Pacific Islands
(92 inhabited) spread over three
million square miles.
The Islands inhabited by about
100,000 people, were formerly
ruled by the Spanish, German and
Japanese, are now governed by
the United States as a Trust
Territory since World War II,
under a United Nations Charter.
Six hundred Peace Corp
members have been in these
Islands for the last few years
helping the Micronesians to be
ready for self government.
Brian was stationed on the
Ishmd of Moen, District ('enter.
tie like all Corp members tried to
-teach English and establish
business methods. However, in his
field, Brian designed a hotel,
coffee house and other buildings
with native materials. Native
Micronesians were put ira charge
and taught how to run the
businesses.
Although the hotel is rustic,
the Americans have discovered it
and the lovely tropical
surroundings. It is rapidly
becoming a Tourist resort and a
mecca for honeymooners from
Japan.
Tropical Islands make us think
of music, so we inquired about
this. We learned that some of the
young people have guitars, but
can play only three chords and
their music sounds like, "mock
Western here, no rhythm."
The singing and harmony was

Micronesians do not make
pottery. They make baskets from
the Coconut Fronds and utilize
the coconut to its fullest. The
principle diet is fish, rice and
bread fruit.
Freighters call in the ports
frequently bringing other foods
and materials. The town of Moen
has one large warehouse-like store
by the docks. There one can buy
anything from clothes to canned
goods.
Brian came home very lean.
After a few days rest and his
mom's cooking he is gaining
weight. It will soon be a privilege
of Harstine Islanders and their
friends to see Brian Burches
