"Food Markets of Southeast Asia" and illustrated her talk with color slides. Mrs. Guthrie, who toured the feed markets of 11 Southeast Asian countries last summer, said the markets of these countries are very similar to one another. The unique attribute of the markets is simplicity, with the complicated techniques of western bargaining unknown, she added. ' I For the most part, the food is grown near the market where it is sold, with each person bringing as much produce to sell as he can carry that day. When the women provide the transportation they carry the nroduce on their heads, while the men us" carts or animals, Mrs. Guthrie explained. Also, it is not uncommon to see Live animals such as sheep, chickens and pigs being trans ported by bus along with the regular riders. she said. The lack of refrigeration poses a great problem to these people. who Mrs. Guthrie said. compen sate for it by selling the animals while still alive. Another tech- ; nique used is to kill the animal' as the customer waits for it, and still others cook the meat before' it is sold. Many foods such as fish, mushrooms, beans and spices are dried to prevent spoilage and are packed in large bas kets, she added. None of the high pressure sales methods of the West are used in these markets where bargains. advertising and green stamps are unknown, she said. The vendors simply squat among their pro duce and wait for it to be bought. According. to Mrs. Guthrie, no changes have been made in the -,ystem of marketing for cen turies. A description of a market written in 1200 which she read exactly described the markets as they are today. This resistance to change was illustrated by a slide of a new •modern market in the Philippines which the government had built in hope of having the people move from the outdoor markets to in- . door ones. Today this market isi practically empty while the tra- I dWonal outdoor market today is' 11()urishing. she said. attended this festival last June.
