The Seaforth News, 1953-03-12, Page 3They Call Whiskers "Grass Belong Face" le the liritieh island clotted about the South Pacific is spoken 01lc 44 the strangest and most colourful languages in the world --pinyin-English. • It has been described as "A dreadful attempt to simplify English by turning things baek to front" Instead of saying o word like "pocket." you have to describe it as "basket belong trousers." In this way "whiskers" have. become "grass belong face," and the sun "lamp belong Jesus.' A preacher in the British Solo- mon Islands has described how he translated the Lord's - Prayer into pidgin: "Papa belong me fella, step on top; name belong you he tabu; Pidgin belong You he come down along ground all same on top; 'Give me fella ]tai-itai (food) enough along day; Forget 'im sin belong me fella, all same me fella forget 'im sin belong all together .. ," Some years ago the South Sea Islands had a scourge of the dreaded hookworm. Doctors were sent out to rid them of the dis- ease,, but the superstitious na- tives reused to take the medi- cine they were offered. At last a British doctor learned the lan- guage and tried to tell them about the disease and the "one good fella medicine" he had brought to cure them. By the time he had mastered pidgin he was able to tell an il- literate audience of natives - cannibals, headhunters and all - about the complicated life- cycle of the hoodworm: "You look along dis fella fic- shure (picture). Two fella se - make, You look: one fella he man- senake, one fella him mary se- nake (male and female snakes). Dig fella mary, hien be bad fella too much. Him hd stop along inside boy; him he kai-kai blut (blood); him he makim too much shall fella egg. Boy he makin something along ground. Egg he come out. Dis egg he small fella too much ... " Every time he recited his lec- ture the doctor reported that a "frightened sigh fluttered through the audience." By the time he reached the end of his speech the natives were only too glad to accept the medicine, with the result that the epidemic was very soon stamped out. What's Next? -Watching British blondes pass his cage in Lon- don's Zoo is the favourite pas- time of Winnie, the zoo's Syrian brown bear. Our photographer fried to arouse Winnie's interest in the birdie, but, as you can see, he was busy watching something else. Cashmere Sweaters, Elegant Yet Practical BY LANA MILES Velvet flowers with jeweled centers are ap- Plieued on this pure white slash:mere cardigan. Stems and leaves are embroidered. Little buds add a dainty note to the decoration which goes all around the sweater top. The cardigan is stwivu With a pullover, also in pure cashmere. �11I cashmere sweater, like plink and diamonds, gen- erally can be regarded as i► luxury, And yet, like many tine things, it's:a sound, long- range inveslmenl, it wears beautifully, rarely goes out of style and always carries its own air of distinction. It is, then, well worth the money. This season, cashmere sweaters by Hadley have been given beads or flowers for evening wear. Or, if you like, you can add your own trimming for a single wearing. The new cashmeres have fine detailing which includes: little ribbed collars, crocheted edgings and turtle neck tops. Some have wide scoop necks for evening wear and some are in white, red, or soft blue, Others appear in the classic blacks, neutral beiges, and whites The Hadley cash- meres are mothproofed in a proc- ess that makes them resist in- roads of salt water or even per- spiration.

Just how good is the Leghorn - Rhode Island Red cross is some- thing often discussed by poultry raisers. Well, like a lot of other questions, the answer seems to be -it all depends. Will your market pay you full price for tinted eggs? If it will -and particularly if you have a' good market for medium heavy hens -the White Leghorn -Rhode Island Red cross may be the bird for you. a a 4. U.S. Departrnent of Agricul- ture poultry breeders, who have tried hundreds of combinations of chickens in the past 20 years l to find something "better," be- lieve that they have what they've been looking for in this cross. It's nmade by breeding a White Leghorn cockerel to a Rhode Is- land Red hen. Of course, any old birds won't do. But recent tests demonstrate that birds from high -producing strains work very well. e 4 . 4 Recently Dr. F. A. hays crossed a medium weight, high -produc- ing strain of Leghorn on a strain of Rhode Island Reds averaging 240 eggs per bird. 4 , 5 Several lots of cross - bred chicks were hatched at different times; brooded with straight Rhode Island chicks; put out on range with the Reds, and then put in the laying house with the Reds, so that conditions would be identical all the day. • 0 4 The cross -bred pullets out- layed their mothers by about 10% --or two dozen eggs per year; 5 5 4 They were slightly smaller birds than the Rods. When they were full-grown, the cross -bred hens weighed 5.60 pounds apiece, compared to 6.4 pounds for the Reds. They were mainly white feathered, with occasional red feathers. 4 4 , They're meaty birds with good. body type, but if you're selling them to wholesale buyers you may find there classified with Leghorns because of their appear - CROSS >t ri PUZZLE ACROSS 7, Duro 4 SiuplcI person 7. btischfevcue children 12.

That clay was found all round Ur, but not within the city walls. While most of the known world was destroyed and desolate for centuries, Ur continued to de- . velop. Sir Leonard Woolley's exca- vations have proved something else. The people of Ur were mighty men of the occult, but they were also mighty men in all forms of culture.
