Jan. 17 out on the ground for 1/4 - 1/2 mile.
Ran up one of clotheslines strung with
Garmets, sheets and other articles of
cloth were seen. The clothing fluttered
in the morning breeze. Concrete troughs
and sloping trays were the washing units.
The clothes were dunked in the troughs and
then wrung out and slapped, with a very-
one over-the-head movement against the
tray. The place is in an extremely poverty
stricken part of town with hordes of ragged
dirty people. When I tried to give a camel
caravan driver 4 rupee, a small boy
snatched the money and soon there were
20 children fighting for the coin.
