guess | laughed and cried both.
"Over in Glory I will be hap
ply to introduce you to the dear
ones you helped to win for Je-
sus through your prayers and
offerings.
"Today I ordered stove

Aborignes Dying
As Australia Race

SYDNEY.-(P)-The original
Australians, the dark chocolate
colored aborigines, are dying
race.
When the white man came
here 100 years ago. about 100000
aborigines roamed Australia.
Now only about 10000 iull
bloods remain. Many of these
still live in their native state in
northern Australia-in Arnhem
Land and along the Kimberley
Coast. Others are on government
reserves or under the care of
missions. Some work on sheep
and cattle stations, in timber
mills or do odd jobs in towns.
Those who still live in tribes,
away from civilization, are high
ly superstitious. Michael SaWtell,
who has made lifelong study
of aborigines, says the race is
dying out partly because the
white man has broken down
their superstitions.
Take away the aborigine's
belief in re-incarnation. and
he feels lost" Sewtell said.
Without it their tribal orsani-
zation falls TO pieces"
SaWtell says wrong mar
riages' also help to end these
people. Each tribe has a care
fully worked out system of mar
riage. AS soon as a child is
born. his mate is allotted to him
by the elders of the tribe. Thus
all members of the tribe are
related.
The aboieine who still lives
in his native state is a regular
nature boy. He spends his
time eating. sleeping and hunt
ing food.
He hasn't progressed much be-
yond the stone-age man. He has
devised only few primitive i'm
plements. He hunts with a
boomerang or spear and fishes
with a spear. He lives mostly on
meat-very lightly cook d,
Snakes, kangaroos and witchety
grubs are some of his delicacies.
He is generally healthy, has
good teeth and a tough, wiry
frame. BY western standards he
is dirty, and rarely washes.
The aborigines are musical.
They have good rhythm. At cor
roborees Qestivals), they sing
and dance for hours without
stopping. Their dancing is like
jitterbugging,
They smoke, when they can
get tobacco, and drink when
they can get liquor. These are
habits they have picked up
from the white man.
The women are no Bali girls.
They have flat noses and
heavy. squat jaws. They do
most of the hard work. leaving
the men free TO hunt food.
This is full-time job in
Australias barren north.
Today, more and more aborigi-
mes are leaving their tribes and
becoming half westernized.
That is when the trouble
starts" says Sawtell. Tribal

yienna-(R-\ wars

NleDna-tH1-A y wars and
the resulting border changes
within two generations have
made citizenship in any Central
European country a very tenn
porary possession.
For instance. An employee of
the Vienna bureau of The Asso-
ciated Press vas born in Boden-
bach in what is now Czechoslo-
yakia in 1905. since Bodenbach
at that time was part of the
Austro Hungarian Empire, he
was an Austrian citizen-until
1918. At the end of World War I,
his residence made him Czech.
In 1888, when the Sudetenland
was ceded to Hitler, he became
German citizen. In 1945 he be-
came stateless person because
0he had moved to Vienna to
work, and could no longer re-
turn to Czechoslovakia. Last
year he regained his original
Austrian citizenship through
r-'-'~a'ization.
His wife's case is similar. She
v'ss born in Feher Templom =,
Hungary, in 1914. Born within
the empire, she was an Austrian
citizen. Her father later moved
to Czechoslovakia and in 1918
Nshe suddenly became a Czech.
In 1898 she became a German,
