It is separated from its neighbors by vast mountain ranges. It is truly an old civilization. The history of India can be traced back 5,000 years. In India, eastern and western culture meet. India contains more than 45 different races and has twelve distinct languages. It is 2/3 the size of the United States, but the population is three times as great. Only 1/10 of the people can read and write their own language. The majority of people make their living from the soil. Wheat and rice are the main crops although sugar cane, tea, and cotton are cultivated. Modern agricultural machinery is rare except on government farms. The art of making things by hand is passed down from generation to generation. Bombay is the second largest city in India. Bombay covers an island of 22 square miles and has a population of over one million. The native market offers all the sights and sounds of the Orient. Delhi is the capital of India. It was built after 1911. It is a city of magnificent structures and is noted for its carved ivory work. It is filled with splendors o f the past. At the present time it is the seat of modern government and enjoys all the conveniences of Western culture. To India, the old is forever new. Those who have been to Indi are irresistibly drawn there. Those who have lived there and gone away, will always want to return. A delicious luncheon was served by Mrs. Blaney assisted by Mrs. George Bair, Sr. The next meeting will be March 24 at the home of Mrs. Cletus Milller, with Mrs. Jerome Keller assisting. This will be a social meeting. Locals Glen Isch of route 3, is a patient at the Clinic hospital in Bluffton, where he is undergoing treatment of a back injury.
