HARDSHIPS AHEAD:
Corpsmen To Live on Local Level

By The Associated Press
The hardship of living at the
level of the peoples of underde-
veloped nations will be a common
problem for the scattered mem-
bers of the Peace Corps.
First contingents of the corps
this fall begin projects in Ghana
and Tanganyika in Africa, Co-
lumbia and Chile in South Amer-
ica and the Philippines in the Far
East.
In Ghana and the Philippines
the corpsmen's main job will be
teaching English. Corps members
in Chile and Columbia will aid
farmers in developing their land
and those in Tanganyika will help
build roads.
Share Conditions
Their job will not be an easy
one. In each of the countries the
corpsmen will share the food,
housing, and other living condi-
tions of the local populace.
R. Sargent Shriver, director of
the corps, has noted,. "This is not.
going to be a moonlight cruise
on 'the Amazon, or a pleasant va-
cation in Kashmir, or a very nice
opportunity to go out to the Far
East."
In Ghana 52 corpsmen willa
teach English in high shools.
They will receive $75 a month
severance pay.
The group, 32. men and 20
women, have completed an eight
week course at the University of
California And .will receive two1
more weeks of training at Univer-
sity ,College in Ghana.
Secondary Schools
They will teach in Ghana's
secondary schools, supervised by
that country's ministry of educa-
tion and headmasters of their
schools. Aside from English, the
volunteers will teach chemistry,
physics, biology, general science
and French.
In the Philippines, corpsmen al-
so will teach English. The govern-
ment of the Philippines wants
English to become the "second
language" of the people. The main
language is Spanish. It is by no
means widely used at the mo-
ment, despite the many years that
Americans have lived and worked
in the islands.
"We want to improve our Eng-
lish because it is a language of
communication in the world,"
Jose Romero, secretary of edu-
cation, said.
"It is the intention of the peace
corps," a Philippine official says,
"that a volunteer will live on a
standard similar to that of his
counterpart in the host country"
English Instructors
The "counterparts" of the
Americans are the Filipino teach-
ers in the elementary schools.
Provincial supervisors of schools
will assign corpsmen to the towns
and s m al11 barrios (villages):
There, they will work with the
Filipino teachers-largely but not
entirely to help as instructors of
English.
The Filipino teachers in Albay
province, for example, receive a
little over 200 pesos a month in
salary. The Americans will re-
ceive exactly 200 pesos, paid by
the United States government.
"They should be able to get.
along on that," an Albayan said.
The typical house in which
corpsmen will live is something
less than modern. It is a two-story
dwelling with weather - grayed
walls. It has no electricity, no gas,
no water.
In the kitchen, there are clay
vessels and wood fire for cooking.
The rooms are large but nearly
bare of furniture. There are no
screens on the windows. "The wind
from the sea is too strong here
for mosquitoes," an Albayan said.
Community Development
In Colombia, corpsmen will aid
in community development. The

64 volunteers will do work direct-
ed "at the bottom of the social,

political and economic pyramid
where the need is most immedi-
ate and desperate."
The Colombian project is un-
der the direction of the Co-oper-
ative for American Relief Every-
where, Inc. (CARE), a private,
agency which collaborates with
the Colombian government's re-
cently organized community de-
velopment department..
CARE was picked to direct the!
operation because it has been
working with the Colombian gov-
ernment for seven years on sim-
ilar programs in community de-
velopment.
Corpsmen will get $150 a month
for living expenses in Colombia
plus a $75 a month allowance
which will be banked in the Unit-
ed States and available only on
separation. They will get 30 paid
leave days a year.
Difficult Conditions
Despite the Colombian's relaxed
pace of life, the corpsmen will
have their problems. They will be
up against disease, poverty, illit-
eracy, and troubles resulting from
maldistribution of the land, mis-
use of the soil and intervillage
feuds.
In Tanganyika, the corps will
include surveyors, engineers and
geologists. They will make a sur-
vey for a feeder road system
throughout the, country. The
roads will be designed to bring
crops such as cotton and coffee to
market and give African farmers

a chance to exchange their labor
for cash.,
The members of the corps can
look forward to a fascinating, if
not entirely comfortable two
years.
The climate in the coastal areas
is tropical and rumid. There are
about 40 inches of rainfall a year.
On the central plateau of the
country the humidity is less op-
pressive, but the average tempera-
ture is still above 70 degrees. Ma-
laria is prevalent throughout
Tanganyika.
Living Quarters.
In Tanganyika, the corpsmen
are expected to live like civil serv-
ants of the government. They will
not live as the Africans do, but
in most places will have furnished
living quarters. They will get "lo-
cal leave" ranging from 18 to 25
days a year. ..
They will bring their own tools.
While it is no part of their job to

instruct Africans in their work, it
is expected that Africans assign-
ed to help them will benefit from
their know-how.
In Chile the corps will work
with the controversial Institute of
Rural Education. The self help
program of the IER makes it a
natural choice to be among the
agencies to work with the peace
corps.
Some 40 corpsmen will extend
their knowledge of agricultural
techniques, improved housekeep-
ing and nursing practices, engi-
neering skills and health stand-
ards.
Supporters and Doubters
The corps will find some sup-
porters and many doubters. They
will also face additional obstacles,
for the institute is controversial in
Chile. Some American officials at
the embassy gave expressed mis-
givings on that score.
