soaring away sharks and poisonous rays
which unfortunately abound in the waters
thereabouts.
AS soon as the diving starts, the musicians
pounding on their drums and banging their
cymbals, make as unholy din as they know
how, and they keep 1t up all day long. Some
times their efforts are successful, sometimes
not, for sharks and rays don't scare very
easily.
Death hangs close over the head Of the
pearl-diver. II the sharks don't get him,
then the strong currents, overexposure and
its attendant diseases. or the temptation to
add that one oyster too many to his catch,
probably will.
Yet there is never any trouble about sign
ing on crew. When q mans father and his
father and so on back to time immemorial,
have all been divers. it's hard for him not to
become one too Moreover there ls the in
ducement of being able to make enough money
to spend the out-of-season months of the
year idling and raising cain in Bahrein.
Sir Hamad evidently shared his subjects
apathy towards the hazards Of the profession,
for he never allowed any of the modern in
ventions the diving suits, pulmotors and so
on, that have made diving fairly safe else
where, TO be introduced among them.
Even after the discovery Of oil near his
palace had opened his eyes to the possibilities
Of Western technical devices, he did not re-
lax this restriction. The business was making
money What was good enough for his fore
fathers was good enough for him. Suppose
few men did die each year; they'd be taken
care Of In Paradise, wouldn't they?
The business was good and It stayed good
all Sir Hamads life, except for one short
period during the worldwide depression. Then,
for while, the usual buyers deserted the
Bahrein market-places and, instead OF gold
coins. the pearls themselves Of all sizes and
colors-white. rose. yellow. gold, blue, brown
purple and ill-omened black-began to pile up
in the Sheik's Golfers.
When at last the business returned to
normal he found himself the greatest in
dividual pearl owner in the world.

CANTEEN GIFTS

Mrs. A. K. Swami and the High

the Ell Centro Servicemens canteen
with so pounds of dates for date
cookies as we'll as with 10 pounds of
the finest varietieG to be served
at the canteen.
These dates, with a recipe for
date cookies, have been placed in
sacks and are now available, with
The necessary amounts of sugar, for
women who are willing to make date
cookies. Anyone who will help MAJ
call at the canteen for the dates
the sugar and the recipe, or, if the
individual has her own special reci-
pc for date cookies, she is welcome
ID use that. This recipe has been
included because it is easy and deli
CiOuS.
In fact the canteen would like
to be supplied with recipes for date
and honey cookies, since a supply
CT fine honey has been donated by
Harry Cross to the canteen.
This honey has been placed in
tWc-cup containers and is available
for these women who will make cook
les using honey. These cookies,
aside from being delectable, have
the added advantage OF keeping
well
With more and more men coming
to the canteen daily as more and
more men are stationed in the val
ley, the need for cookies increases.
Canteen officers have emphasized
The fact that the simplest easiest
to-make cookies are enjoyed just as
much by the men as the fancy ones,
SO no one need feel that she must
be an expert to contribute to the
canteen.
