MISCHIEVOUS MONKEYS IN
INDIA

~ @N' ~ A@N
The blazing sun out of a clear
Indian sky poured its heat down
on the shimmering sides of the
little train as it rolled through
the clay-baked countryside of
southern India. Travelling on mar
row. gauge rails, clipping off a
steady fifty miles an hour, the
locomotive seemed to whip the
long line of passenger cars
through the arid land as if anx-
ious to get north where there
would be more colorful growth.
Immediately behind the bag
gage cars came the first-class
coaches, which had coupled on
them second and third-class cars;
these latter looking like old
wooden street-cars, with the In
dian people perched, rather than
sitting, on the plain hard
benches. The train rushed
through the heat as if seeking a
breath of cool air that never
came.
In the first-class compart-
mentS, reserved for officers and
weather travellers, fans swirled
sluggishly, stirring up the hot
air, but not reducing the op-
pressive temperature. One Of the
small seIf-contained compart-
mentS carried two men who
were talking over the problems
of the land. One was Canadian
of the R. c. A. F., and the other
an Indian of the Medical Corps
AS they chatted about the diff
culties of agriculture in India
the train strated to creak anC
groan, and Shuddered to a stop
Getting to their feet to stretch
their legs on the platform, the
two officers glanced around tc
see that they had left nothing o1
value for pilfering fingers tc
take, and then stepped out the
little door.
AS they looked about, they
watched the other coaches loose
the passengers who sought re,
lief from the cramping boredom
of the long trip. With the various
dialects chattering about them
the third-class passengers, most,
| ly agricultural workers anc
tradesmen, hurried to line up ir

were two in the station, one fol

after short visit there, I'm GO
ing out to where one of the old
est of all Delhi's was located
You know, don't you, that the
city was rebuilt about eight
times? 1t is the ancient capital
of many dynasties, and outside
the city, not far from the "Kutb
Minar", the tall metal monumerT
that has lost its top, the site of
one of the oldest of all cities is
located. There is the home site
of my people, where my father
and mother, and most of my rel
atives live today Their home is
a mud-walled hut, with no ven
tilation except the door and a
hole in the roof, and their floor
is the clay earth beneath them.
They have nothing but the most
primitive methods of sanitation,
no doctor except the old woman
of the village who boils some
herbs up as treatment, and they
know very little of the world
outside.
The Canadian listened with
amazement. What are you," he
asked, IAN officer in the Medical
Corps, accustomed to the COM
forts of Army quarters and food,
going back to that place for?"
Il told you that I am a Christ
ian because of what l believe
rather than what / get out of it, >"
said the major. Il am going back
there to teach my people about
sanitation, about their health,
about agriculture, and above all,
about Jesus Christ. They will
listen to me; l speak their dia-
lect. l am one of them. You re-
member, Jesus Himself had to
become a man that men would
listen. He had to be tempted like
men that the world would take
heart and resist temptation. If l
take all that I can get from my
Christian faith and not 60 back
and become again one of my
people in order that l can give
to them well, the worse
could happen, as far as can
see, would be that I'd be no bet
ter than a Canadian Christian
who is one simply because he
was born in a Christian home" !"
With a little smile he added,
that's like being a sweeper be-
cause your father was one, isn't
it?"

Hindus and one for Moslems, and
each dispensed "cha" or tea, and
some kind of curried meat and
rice. The plates that held the
mixture were twisted palm
leaves, which, unless you were
careful, would deposit the whole
messy concoction that the "duk-
-wala" or shopkeeper, handed
out for a few pice.
Most of those who purchased
something to eat went back to
the train and sat down in front
of a window, holding the leaf
cones outside so the currled food
would not stain their clothes. AS
the two officers watched, the In
dian major turned to the Cana
dian and called his attention to
the top of a nearby carriage.
Look there, he said, and
pointed upward. Climbing along
the top, as Stealthily as a little
boy sneaking out of the kitchen
with cookie, came large
monkey, with beady eyes peer
ing over the edge, watching
those eating below. The monkey
was one of many that swung
from the palm trees, chattering
on the roof of the station, and
climbed all over the train. AS the
two men stood there, the mon
key reached a position above the
window out of which a Hindu
leaned with his food. Then, with
out a sound, the monkey dropped
flashing past the window, grab
bing the leaf of food as he went,
scampering off with a high
pitched scream of noise that
sounded. like a hearty laugh at
the trick he was pulling.
why don't they. stone those
mischievous rascals away from
here?" the Canadian asked the
Major.
Stone them? Listen, take my
advice and never lift a hand to
one of those monkeys. They're
sacred! See? That man over
there who lost his food is going
back to the stall to buy some
more; he isn't even angry at los
ing it that way!"
1t was true. The Hindu, with
a smile, had gone for more cur
ry and rice and once again
started his lunch, taking care
this time, that it wouldn't be
stolen again. The flying officer
shook his head What kind Of
country is this" he asked, "wher
monkey and cows are sacred anc
little children-see those ovel
there-beg for food and are
kicked and chased away? L
doesn't seem reasonable to me
personally, I'd chase the mon
keys and feed the children"
"Of course you would" replied
the Indian major. That's be
cause you come from a so-callee
Christian country. Oh, know
that all Canadians are not really
Christian, but you still call it ;
Christian country and you still
have Christian standards of con
duct. Over here we do not. Out

Miguelito Valdes is a cheerful
and amiable man but he also is a
man of definite ideas about music.
Senor Valdes, now presiding hap
PLY over his orchestra at the
Congo Room of the Carlton Hotel,
thinks, for one thing, that too
much specialization is not always
good.
Versatility, he feels, is far
better quality for band to have.
He was having this out one day
not long ago with Xavier Cugat,
his one-time employer. Mr.. Cugat.
if nativity had anything to do
with it, should lean toward fla
menco dancing, since he was born
in Spain. At the moment. though
he was maintaining that a rumba
band ought to play rumbas.
Not>so, said Mr.. Valdes stoutly.
Variety is the thing. II am a
Cuban and the rumba is in my
blood" he said firmly to clinch his
point. "But If I had to listen to
rumbas all night I'd shoot my
self"
Not wishing to inflict anything
so CORY on the Carlton customers,
or on himself for that matter.
Miguelito covers a lot of ground
musically speaking. Before his
rumba band gets around to sound
ing like a rumba band in each
set, it sounds like several other
kinds of bands. It is a Latin
American orchestra with sort Of
inter-American array of music
fox trots, waltzes, Dixieland jazz,
rumbas, sambas and anything
else the Valdes listeners demand.
He even has a little bop on tap
if the demand for that is ever
great enough. which isn't likely at
the Congo Room. Bop. as a mat
ter of fact. has certain fascina-
ton for Mr.. Valdes, or rather its
listeners fascinate him.
"The people who like bop don't
even know what it u.s." he says in
some wonderment. "They don't
even know what key it's being
played in. Or. since it's bop, what
key it's played off. They just stand
with their mouths open and then
say they like it. think they really
do, too"
Another Valdes notion about
music is that dance sets should be
longer than most orchestras play.
By playing longer, you take a
longer intermiSsion between sets.
To Mr.. Valdes a quick smoke
means leisurely enjoyment of a
cigar. He's an old Havana boy,
remember.
Mr.. Valdes' ideas about music
seem to be sound. all right. He
is the most popular attraction
the Congo Room has had in years
and if things keep up you're going
to need a reservation to get in
there even on Monday nights. |
Last Wednesday, not normally a.
night when the joints are burst
ing at the joints. Mr.. Valdes had
