NATIVES THINK

A Jungle Island Somewhere n

'The natives are unable TO COM

EIDE, Australian plantation owner
who has lived on the island for 81
years said. They had never seen
more than a few white men until
the American forces occupied the
island few months ago.
They have no conception OF the
white mans world. The natives
lust accept all that is occurring
here, Struggling it on as white man
fashion, Their brain Is not wen

could have happened in a short
time: he is unable to shrug the
whole thing off and accept what Is
happening to his jungle hideaway
like the natives.
I'm almost like the natives in
that this is so tremendous and ]
find 1t hard to believe my eyes," he
sid
EIDE Is impressed by the networks
of raods that have been cut through
the jungle and his coconut planta-
ton, which was one Of the largest
acknowledgement plantations In
this area Of the Pacific. Where once
only fireflies flickered through the
jungles, now in the evening there
are headlights Of jeeps ana trucks
bouncing along the roads.
And I never expected to see mo-

declared. 1T seems impossible that
almost overnight there would DO
electric lights and not one cinema
but five or six to choose from every
night. I really can't express how I
feel about all this"
Ede's father, who died about Is
months ago, came here 81 years
ago, but EIDE was reared and edu.

plantation as a youth. During his
residence on the island, Eide has
made only a few visits to Australia.
The improvements made here
win be swallowed by the jungle
after the war, he said, unless 1t Is
possible to develop the island into
tourist resort.
EIDE says after the war he wants
to visit the United States to see
what it is like in a country that
makes so many changes in the
jungles in such a short time. Then
he will return to this island. which
appears on most maps as a speck.

AS Emerson said, THAT which We
call sin in others is experiment for
US"
Where others lie, we are clever;
where others cheat, we are Shrewd
and canny; where others are bad
tempered, we are righteously In
dignant; judging others, we would
call their conduct selfish; judging
ourselves, we call 1t practical.
Nowhere Is this manipulation OF
names to avoid self-blame more
frequent than in the sexual realm.
Many a woman who, judging 9TH
ers, would call what they are doing
downright adultery. when judging
herself calls 1t idealistic romance,
All OF us are tempted to act on
emotion or self-interest and then
call what we have done by the best
name possible,
In personal relationships this
alibi-habit commonly takes the
form OF face-saving. One OF the
deepest impulses in human life Is
self-defense. without 1t the race
could not have survived. Neverthe-
less, its perversions are notorious.
We do not wish to be put in the
wrong: face Saving becomes the
primary concern in all cases OF per-
sonal conflict. and almost auto
matically we throw the blame on
others In order to protect ourselves,
When God charged Adam with
disobedience In eating the apple,
Adam said, THE woman whom
Thou gavest to be with me, she
gave me of the tree. and ! did eat.
When God accused the woman, she
said, THE serpent beguiled me, and
did eat" What we call passing
the buck" Is an ancient process.
Modern psychology has q word

are most tempted to ourselves. The

'Face-Savers' Always Condemn the
Sins of Others, but Ignore Own

men are liars. One of the simplest
ways OF avoiding unhappy criticism
Of our own faults Is to discover and
denounce similar shortcomings N
others. Or we defend ourselves by
charging others not with the same
delinquencies We are guilty Of, but
with attitudes that explain, excuse
and justify our own. From an
irascible father who always can dis
cover in the children plenty to ex-
cuse his petulant temper, TO a para
noiac who sees In others threats
of violence that justify his own
violent desires, the face-savers find
scapegoats everywhere.
In few ways, therefore, do men
more clearly reveal themselves than
in their characteristic condemna-
tions of others. This explains GER
tain types Of fanatical reformers
who try to clean up the world in
the very areas where they never
have been able TO clean UP them
selves: 1t explains a good deal OF
prudishnss and consciousness where
people cover up their own sup
pressed difficulties by holy wrath
against others sins In the same

PARKING RECEIPTS
BELOW ESTIMATES
War Time Restrictions
Credited With Causing
Deficit of 5000

Waterbury has suffered total de-
ficit of $9,790. in its receipts from
parking meters and since Pearl Har-
Dor, as result OF war time restric-
tons affecting driving.
A deficit of ST. has resulted in
1943, the records show, with $6,402
posted for 1912. Although the latter
figure seems high in comparasion
with the original budget estimate it
has been pointed out that, at the
time, the estimate was arrived at it
was preceding Americas entrance
into the war and such curtailments
on gasoline, tires and pleasure driv-
ing could not be forseen.
In 1943 a more conservative esti-
mate was drawn up for the same
period based on the 1912 actual re-
ceipts of $38,597 and an estimate of
$4,000 was setup. The actual re-
ceipts for this past year were $28.-
S06. The estimate for 1912 which was
drawn up in the latter part of 194l
was based on normal year eXpecta-
tons and was posted at $4,000.
n ouilAlllS1J VI l4lOLltLlly 1CSCAPIs,
from this source for both years is
revealed as follows; 1912, Jan,
So ,O85; Feb, $2,845.; Mar, 1929;
Apr, So, 256; May 1929; June, 1886
July, $3,429; Aug; $3loS; Sept,
s., 1856; Oct, 1928; Nov. 1927; Dec.
s., 1926.
In 1913 monthly receipts were:
Jan, 81 1914; Feb, $1,625; Mar, 81
487; Apr, $2,74S; May $2,716; jan,
$2,621; July, $2,793; Aug, $2,36l;
Sept, $2,385; Nov, Oct, $2,4l4; Nov,
1924; Dec. $2423.
Also attributing to the deficit has
been the removal of some 1877 met
ers as result of the state statute
fcrbiddirg the oct" bljshment of met
ers within Is feet of cross-walks or
.nteIse. t-ors. Although since their
removal some of these meters have
again been relocated the majority
still are idle and no longer a source
of revenue.
