In looking for someone who could give first hand information on life in Iran, we were directed to La Vega Baize, Baize, of East.Chicago, Indiana, visited Ohio County last week “on business" and to cut wood for his sister, Annie Spencer of Fordsville. Anative of Ohio County, he left the areavat age 18, and spent three years in fran during the early 1940's, A member of the U.S, Army, Baize served as a locomotive operator in the 730 Railway Operation Platoon. “We landed in Kahromchar and went into town, People were catrying water in sheepskin. and dates in cowhides.

A girl is taught to obey the father until she is married then she must obey the husband or hhe can whip her." “Men were allowed to. get divorces, women were not. If & woman went blind or anything he could kick her out and she would go _sitand starve herself to death. If she died within ten days, they would buy her. If she didn't. she was considered wicked and they would, take her up in the mountains and let the buzzards eat her, “ Baize said. He told how he and another ‘American soldier found one of these ‘women, starving, and tried to force her to eat, but could not, because “it was their custom that @ divorced woman must starve to death,” “When a woman married andhai not produced a child in two years or was found not to be a virgin, she was considered to have been cursed by Ahlah, their God, and she had to become a prostitute.

Whenever the Shah wanted to get rid of anyone; he'd send that persoit|to the doctor and the doctot would give a shot that killed,” According to Baize} the trdnians | October 19, 1981 believe in punishing themselves for crimes they had committed. All ‘went to church, rich and poor, and they had a special day they had to punish themselves, They would stick knives in their own bodies, according to the crime, from one to ‘two inches. ‘They'd measure off how far on the blade of the knife and stick i themselves. I've seen times when it was. a bloody mess,"? Baize recalled. He added that after they had punished themselves, Ahlah would forgive them. Their bible, the Koran, was the book they followed for all their laws and everything, Baize said. “at is rough living over there, The temperature gets to 145 degrees and the dust blowed all time. It tained only once every nine months,” Baize said. Iran is mountain country and all channels into the rivers, turning the mountain rivers. The natives dig tunnels into the rivers, turning the flow of water for irrigation of crops ‘of wheat and vegetables “The cattle were so poor we weren't allowed to eat any meat while in Iran. We didn’t have any ftech meat all the time we were over there,"” he said. Baize told how there were no private toilet facilities in that country. The community, or village, toilet was an open space, and as was their custom, was surrounded by no walls or drapes of any kind. He added that the Americans, who had Private toilet facilities in camp, could not get used to this or accept this custom, The Shah, who took over around the time or after he was stationed in Iran, tried doing away with some of the old customis. For example, he permitted women to wear regular dresses and they did not have to wear veils in public. But “things started changing back to the old ways with the later Shah. ize said he would not be afraid to go back to Iran but has no plans or wishes to return. “Ididn't leave a thing over there,’ he concluded.
