Mrs. Thomas is the sister of Chuck Mitchell, and the Bewleys are very good friends who are visiting the United States for the first time. Mr. Thomas is on home leave from his assignment with the United Nations World Meteorological Organization in Lahore. The visiting couples are enjoying shopping, comparing notes on friends and relatives, and playing golf. Teacher faces decision They sacrifice the act of choosing a marriage partner and accept the choices of their parents. He said all parents as well as family members do the searching for a suitable marriage partner for the young man or woman in the family. The family has had the experience of knowing the qualities of each partner during the search and the boy or girl will not later be worried about the decision of choosing one quality of one person over the qualities of another. “Mothers choose but will not force a selection on a child,” Ahmad said. The child has a right to pick among the selections. Ahmad said should there develop any problems in the marriage, the families of both partners will try to help. Ahmad does not find any fault with the economical system in the States but he is a little disillusioned concerning the American large scale acceptance of credit. “Americans should learn patience to save and then buy for cash,” Ahmad said. He feels the average American works to pay bills. “The common man is a machine who works to earn money to only pay for things he does not own himself,” Ahmad continued. Again using sacrifice as a basis for happiness Ahmad contrasted family life practices in America with those of his countryland. He said he has observed that family life in the States is not as strong as it is in the east. Ahmad said the eldest son in Pakistan is responsible for supporting the younger children and the family even. In the case of living parents, there Twins named to Delta Sigma Theta sorority Twin daughters, Paula Michelle Calhoun and Pamela (Continued from page one.) are, of course, varying degrees of support but nevertheless the son is expected to assist the family. “We share whatever income that comes to the family,” Ahmad continued. “I feel happier when I see my whole family happy,” he added. Ahmad does not think there is a great amount of difference in foods rather the difference is in the way they are cooked. Because of religious reasons Ahmad does not eat pork nor does he drink any alcoholic beverages. “Anything that changes the spirit of the mind is not healthy,” he said. Ahmad said modem science even has determined the undesirable qualities of swine, one of the forbidden animals in his faith. With relation to education in the States, Ahmad feels there is little respect for it because it is compulsory. He said in Pakistan only students who want to learn attend the schools. The educational system is not free and a mimimal amount of money is required. If a student is poor he is awarded a scholarship and closely supervised to make certain he can and is doing the work. Ahmad said it seems a lot of times American children are not appreciative of the system and do not respect it. Ahmad is looking forward to his summer vacation during which he and his family will make a trip to India and Pakistan. Upon their return to the States, Ahmad perhaps will have made up his mind. Ahmad lives in Griffin with his wife, Kishwar Nigar, 2 sons, Masood and Mahmood, and his daughter, Saadiah Shaheen. Chappelle Calhoun, of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Calhoun of 1407 Canterbury road, are members of Delta Sigma Theta sorority at Medical College of Georgia in Augusta. Deaths Funerals Mr. A. N.
