stalled by the Canadian gover-
nment.
At these tanks women gather
to gossip as they fetch water or
wash, their clothes, their.
children or anything else
that might need washing.
Anyone selling soap in Mont-
serrat must do very well indeed
because cleanliness is moat im-
portant.
Meanwhile, with the days
work complete, the men gather
outside a rum shop to sprawl
on the pavement in the glow of
a street Tamp and play either
dominos or an island game that
makes use of dice and a board
with holes along which the
player advances stones.
One evening I had the
'misfortune of topping a hill in
our jeep a little too fast thus
almost wiping out half the male
population of Harris village as
they played under a street lamp
just down the slope. The men
were most indignant about the
whole affair since apparently
any fool should have known
there would be a game in.
progress under that lamp.
And so the social life of the
local population goes on, cen-
tred for the most part in the
local villages and often within
almost a family or tribal circle.
There are surprisingly few
family names on the island
with perhaps half the island
population sharing four or five
common surnames. The reason
for this being that Montserrat
claims what must be one of the
highest illegitimate birth rates
in the world.
Asking a father about his
family and how many children
he has will often bring a reply
like, "Well I have six at home
and I. guess eight outside."
The "ofutside'' refers to
children born to women other
than his wife by—him.
This should„ not draw any
-conclusions about the lack of
church activity on Montserrat.
In even the smallest village
'there are at least two or three
churches, but despite the efforts
of the local pastors, and birth
control pills provided virtually
free, there are still a large num-
ber of children born "outside".
As mentioned earlier much of
a Montserratians life is spent
in the village of his or her
birth.. In one case ,when Peg
and I took two girls from
Harris village to a movie in
Plymouth, 12 miles away, it
represented one of only a few
times when one of the girls had
ever been to the city. The same
girl had never been to the' most
northerly village on the, island
which would only have been
about 20 mike away.
During our visit to Mont-
serrat we stayed with Mr. and
Mrs. Alex Wilkins and
daughter Janet at their home
in the subdivision of Spanish
Pointe.
There areseveral such "sub-
divisions" on Montserrat
which represent the areas
where white residents may
build homes. One view is also
expressed that they are a sort
of white ghetto.
--
Spanish Pointe, being almost
completely Canadian, is not the
subdivision we think' of in
North America but in the
literal description of the word
it is still a subdivision.
The lots there are surveyed,
serviced and sold by a
developer but roads and
surroundings are no different
from any other area on the
island. The native people come
and go freely, working for the
residents and pasturing their
livestock on open lots. The
pasturing is actually not sup-
posed to take place but cattle
stray across the front lawn and
the situation is accepted by
most as a fact of island life.
In the subdivision the local
milk man conducts his whole
business operation.
One morning we were up
early and sitting on the balcony
watching a spectacular Carib-
bean sunrise when we saw this
enterprising chap round up one
of his cows pastured on an open
lot next door, milk her, fill a
number of run bottles and start
out on his rounds,:
arrives at each door
leaving one or two bottles from
his burlap sack, then remounts
his donkey and moves along
down the road.
"We used to clean and boil
those bottles faithfully," Alex
explained, "but then we saw he
was just throwing them under a
bush after his rounds and
picking them up next morning-
so
orningso now we just boil the milk"
to be continued.

ATTENTION
SNOWMOBILEO OPERATORS
Before you put that snowmobile suit away for the summer, be sure it will be in good
condition when next winter's snow comes. Stains will be hard to remove in the fall and
moisture which is in the suit now can cause mould if not stored in a dry place. •
Be sure your snowmobile suit will be in good condition next winter — bring it in to us for
expert cleaning.
