Where Presents

coast OF Australia, seeking TO OBJ

OF a nearby village. offered him
good steel axe, perhaps the
most valuable possession a New
Hebridean could own.
But the chief snatched the
tool. shook 1t furiously in the
astonishcd traders face. yelled
abuse at him and stamped de-
Jectedly off.
We'll. Of all the III hammered,
ungratcful -" swore the angry
trader I'll never give those
monkeys another thing"
That same day a file Of natives
from the chiefs village angrily
left pigs, yams, coconuts, sandal
wood, and enormous piles Of tor
toise-shell, on the traders door
step and disappeared
He was completely flabbergas-
ted. The chief had appeared an
cry. Why, then. the presents?
Surely this proved that the ma
tives liked him.
No. they did not. The gifts
were 10 show him that the ma
tives thought themselves pIst as
good as ne was. But he never
again offered them anything.
And that pleased the natives. 1t

thing in the world They show
no gratitude because they don't
know what 1t is.
In those fertile islands every
man can get all he wants by his
own unaided efforts. So, anyone
who gives him a present is deli
cately limiting that the giver Is
better than the receiver and the
angry recipient promptly goes to
work TO return a nicer one.
Not long ago a war" was
fought in Malekula. one of the
central islands, along those lines.
One hill village decided to teach
a lowland town a lesson. So its
young men hunted pigs, dug
yams, cut sugar cane and gath
cred coconuts and carried them
down to the lowlanders. .,
That was awful. The lowland-
ers got TO work to return a
greater gift to the highlanders.
For weeks they hunted and dug,
working their heads off.
Eventually the hill village won.
The shamed lowlanders skunk off
TO establish a new village where
no one would know they had lost

rivals.

Hollywood Short
of Bachelors

n HOLLYWOOD, like the rest
of America has had TO
face the rubber and sugar
shortage-but now the film coll
ony is up against a new one
that's exclusively it's own -
scarcity of bachelors. And. like
the case of sugar and rubber,
the blame can be placed on the
war.
Part of the crop OF eligible
bachelors-Jimmy Stewart, JEFF
fry Lynn, and Burgess Meredith,
to name but a few-are in uni
form and out Of romantic circu-
lation. The rest of Hollywood's
single male film stars are under
a priority ban--that is. they are
dating steady" or planning 10
get married.
The rubber shortage will be
partially met when the synthetic
factories get going full blast, and
there'll be more sugar when we
have enough shipping TO bring
in the cane. but there appears
TO be nothing in sight 10 case
the Hollywood bachelor scarcity
for each passing day sees more
and more single stars called TO
help out their Uncle Sam.
