TRIBES NEAR EXTINCTION

NEW DELHI az Indian
government sociologists and an
thropolOgists are struggling to pre-
serve two Of South Asia's Oldest
tribes, each on the bring Of extinc-
ton. The scientists have been spur-
red this year BY one Of their more
notable victories the birth of 30
babies to mothers Of the Toda tribe
in South India.
However, the battle to save the
primitive Andaman Island abori-
gines is not going so well. The An
damanese and the Todas, although
separated by the wide stretch of
water of the Bay Of Bengal. seem
to have been travelling the same
road toward extinction IN recent
years. Census counts last year
listed less than 500 Todas and 100
Andamanese.
Low birth rates, poor diets, dis
ease and conflicts with the modern
world have played havoc with these
tribes as civilization uprooted them
from their jungle homes. A century
ago each tribe was thousands
strong.

member Of the Board is urged to
be present.
The services last Sunday were
largely attended. Quite a large
turnout in the Church School which
is most interesting. There are
classes for all who wish to attend
from the youngest to the Oldest
member. If you have never attended
our Sunday School, please do so and
we feel sure you will want to come
again.
There was also a large gathering
for the hour of Divine worship. Both
the Senior and Junior Choirs gave
selections. A most entertaining fea-
ture was a trumpet solo by Bobby
Williams and last but not least was
the fine sermon by the pastor.
There was a good attendance at
the evening services especially the
intermediate Methodist Youth
Fellowship. The young folks are
showing great interest in these
meetings and we trust the Church
people will encourage them in this
most worthy cause, for the Youth
OF today will be the Church of to-
morrow.

IFS Fashionable If
You Can't Say II
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeuiures Writer

Ladies' Are you in style? Do you
keep up with the latest things?
Have you chic?
Never mind the H-line, the DOWN
swept silhouette, the charcoal
shades, the white fox. The point is,
do you have diverticulosis? This is
positively and absolutely the last
word in disease. Around this part
OF the country, everybody with a
doctor who is anybody is getting it.
AT the moment, I'm not at all
sure exactly what this disease is.
Webster's defines a diverticulum
(diverticula-pluraD as Ca blind
tubular sac or process, branching
on from a canal or cavity" But /
do know that all my fashionable
friends who used to discuss their
sinuses, deviated septums or incip-
lent ulcers have dropped them in
favor Of this latest fad in medical
diagnosis.
Apparently, one of the advantages
Of diverticulOsis is that it and its
symptoms cannot be seen. Secondly,
It's treatment requires a diet which
is an amusing, dramatic change
from those tiresOme old lOw-calorie,
hieh-prOtein regimes which are so
commonplace now that there's real
ly not much more to be said, con-
versatiOnwise, about them.
l haven't acquired divertiCulosis
yet, but / understand that obtain
ing a diagnosis of it is good for
plenty of conversation. 1t involves
a long series of examinations, the
taking of many types of dye pills
and submitting to N-ray series. All
this is expensive.
After the doctor informs yCu that
YOU are a divorticulosis sufferer.
the diet comes. The Giet is what is.
called bland. One of my friends in
forms me brightly that she has to
have every mOuthfuI of meat
ground three times before she can
eat it,
Yesterday a friend telephoned
merrily to report that she'd ac-
quired a diverticulosis diagnosis,
and added enthusiastically that
there wasn't one thing she could
eat now that was also on her old
reducing diet.
And" she added, "I can't eat
nuts, and [ just have 10 cat spa
g ettI Furthermore. l am al Srll.te-
ly forbidden parsley, which is a
relief because I've always hl..d It /
anyway.
Later in the day, L reported the
to a mutual friend, who |
shifted, looked down his nose and |
informed me lOftily: "She's un- |
doubtedly only got one. THREE of |
my diverticula are affected. I drink |
milk, just milk, and pureed peas" /
l suppose the diverticulosis fad
will pass in time, just as the other +
disease crazes have. Meanwhile. if
your own physician doesn't know
about its current popularity, you
might tip him off that he's missing
4 very good thing.

What WAS the matter with this lady's toaster?
Nothing at all. 1t just wasn't getting the power
it needed!
Why not? Simply because the wiring in the lady's
house wasn't large enough to carry the necessary
electricity to her toaster as well as to the many
other appliances she uses.
But, as you can see from the lady's face, she did
something about it. So can yOM if your house is suf

STICKS FROM THE HAWKS NEST
By George A. Seaman, Supervisor
What is the P-ittman.Robertson Act

sThe Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, Of Septem-
Der q, 1887 CSC. Stat. 917, as amended, commonly known as
the Pittman-Robertson Act, was designed to help check the
ton to- desired levels.
"Wildlife is among the Nations most valuable natural
resources. Nearly is million Americans-almos double the
number before World War II-buy hunting licenses from
State game departments each year. Droughts, floods, soil
erosion, the appropriation Of lands for agricultural and indus
trial purposes, and the destruction of habitat have caused
once flourishing populations of birds and mammalst to dwind-
lie alarmingly. Increased interest in outdoor recreation due
to improved facilities has added to the heavy drain on the
Nations wildlife supplies.
"Wildife is a produce of the land Its restoration de-
ponds on providing suitable living conditions for the desir-
able species. Fundamentally, the deyelopnental work that
favors the increase of wild birds and mammals, contributes
also to the conservation of soil and moisture, which are es=
sentiaI to the maintenance of a prosperous agriculture.
cThe income from the sale Of hunting licenses is prac-
tically the only revenue available to finance the many ac-
tivities Of the State game departments. Lack Of adequate
funds in the past prevented the conducting Of much desired
and needed restoration work. Hence, the Federal funds made
available to the States through the Federal Aid in Wildlife
Restoration Act for carrying on cooperative programs pro
vided badly needed means for increasing wildlife poplla-
tons. procuring information through field studies for imprOy
ing the management of this natural resource, and providing
an annual surplus Of game birds and mammals to pc harvest
ed by hunting.
"The act provides that the United States may pay IS
per cent Of the cost Of work performed on approved projects
Such projects are confined to the purchase and development
