UNCLE RAYS CORNER

British Guiana is in the northern
part of South America. It is the
home of interesting plants, animals
and people.
Among the plants are treeferns
and giant water lilies. The water
lilies have the largest leaves of
any plants in the world. They
spread out to a width of 5 feet or
more, and rest on the surface OF the
water.
Bell Thirds, parrots, tousans, puff
birds. trumpeters, jacanas and
horned screamers are among the
many forms Of bird life.
Monkeys, tapirs and armadillos
are common animals. Crocodiles
live In and about the rivers, and
50 do the huge snakes called ana
condas.
Other forms Of river life in British
Guiana are electric cells, sawfish
and sharks. 1t is dangerous to
swim in one of the rivers-if a
person isn't snapped up by croco-
ollie or shocked by an electric eel,
he may be crushed by an anaconda
or cut up by sawflsh.
If the Indians of that region
need an excuse for not bathing,
they have it so far as going into
q river is concerned. Fact to tell
they are not at all famous for
keeping clean!

Dummy won the opening lead and
returned the nine of hearts for a
finesSe Right then West executed
his swindle-bv nonchalantly play
Ing low heart. That made South
think the trump finesse had been
successful, so he continued with the
queen of hearts.
But West took that trick and re-
turned his last trump. And then
South couldn't find a way to get rid
Of his losing spade.
OF course South was very foolish
to rely on the trump finesse when
he could (and should have ruffed
out his spade after taking only one
round OF trumps. But Vests little
deceptive play made South so sure
OF the trump finesse that he hated
to risk three rounds of spades before
drawing trumps. In other words.
South thought he had a choice Of
plays, so West simply coaXed him
to adopt the line which wouldn't

their most important garden pro-
duct is the cassava plant.
Cassava is as important to those
Indians as wheat is to us, or rice
to the Chinese. The root Is the
part which supplies food, and 1t is
poisonous.
At some time IN the past, the
fact was learned that cooking and
other treatment will destroy the
poison in the cassava root. It then
becomes fit to eat. The pulp is
grated and spread on a hot stone,
where it is cooked as pancake.
Here is another point about cas-

is turned into tapioca. Much of
the tapioca sold in stores in our
country comes from South America.
