HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Seaforth News, 1962-05-10, Page 3From Birth to Death, His Home Is a Tent The Bedouin is an astonishing example of man's ability to adapt himself to almost impossible liv- ing conditions. The' desert's mea- ger yield of thorneit, shrubs and scrubby grass is worthless to man except as fodder for his fire but it is converted to milk and meat by the cancels, sheep, and goats, These animals also supply the Bedouin with hair and wool from which tent's, rugs, and clothing are spun. Since he must first of all al - tend to the needs of his animals 1 in order to obtain from them the very necessities of his existence, be constantly migrates over the grudging face of the desert in search of grazing land. Thus he remains a nomad, in the centur- ies-old tradition of his ancestors, for there is no possibility of his settling in a permanent conimun- i.ty following the pattern we usually consider `civilization"; his is that land described in the Old Testament (Lev. 26: 19-20): "I will make,your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits." The Bedouin has little protec- tion against the heat of the sum. - mer or the chill of the winter. His clothing includes the ghutra, a four -foot square of white or checkered cotton worn as a head cloth; the black agal, a ropelike hoop that holds the ghutra in' place; the thobe, a loose -fitting neck -to -ankle garment usually of white cotton, During the colder weather and the months of the shamals, or sandstorms, he also wears a brown sleeveless coat called a bisht or an aba, The younger children wear dishdash- as, or knee-length white shifts, 'The women may -wear dresses of 'brilliant colors in the privacy of their tend; but in public they keep such finery shrouded be- neath their long black outer gar- ments, just as they keep their faces concealed behind black Mails. The only Jame the Bedouin knows from birth to death is his tent, which is designed -for porta- bility rather than comfort, And yet it' is as true for him as for the city dweller that "home is where the heart is," and family ties in these nornad tribes are extremely close and dearly treas- ured.—From. "Kings and Camels," by. Grant C. Butler. How Can 1? By Roberta Lee Q. flow can I remove those annoying and unsightly fuzz balls that sometimes collect on sweaters? A. These can be whisked off very easily with a dry sponge. Q. flow can 1 make a good stuffing for prunes? A. Cream and roquefort cheese make a fine combination blended together and used to stuff prunes or dates. A delicious addition to this mixture can be made with a few nuts ground fine.

Scotland Yard Adopts. A New Gimmick Secretly, Scotland Yard de- cided to experiment with the revolutionary Identi-kit "Wanted Man" picture system invented in America, One. C.LD, officer, Detective - Sergeant Raymond Dagg, spent a week learning how to use. the Identi-kit. On the very day he finished. his training, fifty -nine-year-old,' Mrs. Elsie Batten was clubbed and stabbed to death in a curio shop off the Charing Cross Road in London. Dagg at once began building up an Identi-kit picture of the wanted man. It was circulated: to - all police stations, and screened.' on television by the BBC, ' Five days later, a C.I.D. patrol ,licked up a man from the Identi- lcit _description . and an Old l3ailey jury found the man, Ed- win Bush, guilty of capita] mur- der. The judge, Mr. Justice Steven- son, praised the officer who spotted the murderer from the Identi-kit picture. "You deserve the gratitude of the community for recognizing the man the way you did," said the judge.' Since then, the C.I.D. have been using the kit to trap sex - offenders, dangerous drivers be- lieved to be responsible for road deaths and criminals of many types. In many constabularies the C,I.D. is working with the new "miracle" box, 10 in. by 4 in. by 7 in. It contains approximately. 525 transparent slides, each bear- ing an actual facial characteris- tic. Each slide is numbered Anybody who has seen the wanted person is asked: "Was his hair dark? Curly? '- . Was he thick -set? Was his face stern, friendly or craggy? Straight. eyebrows?" and a host of similar questions. As the witness des- cribes all possible features of the subject, an officer trained in this ' work slips one transparency over another until a face is built up. The witness and the Identi kit can be hundreds of miles apart. Details can be given over the phone. But it is better for the witness to see the Identi-kit at work. Then the officer can ask: "Was, he anything like that?" The . witness may . suggest a different . hair -line, or make al- terations to the lips or eyes. When the face is built •up am exactly as possible from the wit- ness's memory, the picture can be 'wired to police stations all over the country. As each transparency is num- bered, the details can be phoned or wired to anyone else with a kit, and an identical picture built up. At Scotland Yard I was told: "Apart from the speed, the big advantage of the Identi-kit is that for the first time we are able to get the pictures screened on television. "In the past we:have frequent- ly had a family snapshot of a wanted person, but 'for legal reasons an actual photograph usually cannot be published. The jury may be prejudiced. Also, if the • person happens to be proved innocent, he might be alible to site the police if a photo- raph is used it the press, ortelevised. But an Identi•'kit pictures does not claim to ,be of a particular., individual. This.gives bihe C.I,I3 a free hand to broadcast all the vital . information. Hugh C, McDonald, chief of the civil division et the Los An - geles 'County . Sheriff's office, toured 'Europe after the war He had talks with many police chiefs, and realized the need for a new visual identification sys- tem. He took a rough idea to the Townsend Company of Califor- nia. They spent nearly twelve 'years working with experts such • 'as •the assistant director of the State of California's Department of Justice, George 'Brereton The result was the Identi-kit.. More than 40,900 photographs were. taken. all over the world to produce the facial character- istics seen on Identi-kit slides. And 'th'ey,. make 62,000,000,000 1'a- cibl ' combinations possible — men.and• women, young and old, fair and 'coloured. The Identidtit':is not cheap It has to be hired' at around. $15 a month. Scotland Yard 'and many C.1.D, forces would like to be able to buv their own. Identi-kits, "We only allow police to have Identi-kits on a leasing arrange- ment," states a company official, "because of the necessity of pro- viding improvements as they . are 'introduced, and fox ex- changing lost 'or damaged slides. "We have. to keep .kits uniform all over the world, and if we sold them we should have no control." -' When Scotland Yard became interested: iri.the Identi-kit, Hugh McDonald came over and taught thirty-one police chiefs how to use it. • He left twenty-nine kits be- hind, ten of which are at the Yard. The transparencies include 102 pairs of eyes, twenty-five mous- taches ,and beards, thirty-three lips, from thin to - sensuous, fifty- two chins, from weak to jutting, and thirty-two: noses. But no ears. "Our first experience," said the inventor, "is that the victim of ,a crime —'say rape orrobbery — isusually facing' the criminal, and never• gets a chance to see his ears properly. "Special -marks like scars and moles and the, ears, can be drawn in afterwards on the transparent slideswith a wax pencil."

Oral Roberts, the fiery evangelist who appears on 500 radio and TV stations every week, is reported to have overcome lameness, deafness, and blindness with 'faith. • He used more mundane ;methods to over- come obesity among his 375 -man staff recently.' Last December, Roberts served notice that if overweight employes, warned a year ago to reduce, hadnot slim- med down by March, they would have totake enforced leaves of absence without pay and might eventually lose their jobs, Last month, Roberts (who lost 28 pounds himself). victoriously announced his .staff lost a ton of collective fat; one woman lost more than 100 pounds. No one .has been fired, but not everyone is happy. "Where is there any Christianity in an employer hir- ing overweight people," said one follower, "and then threatening dismissal regardless of their effi- ciency= or years of service?" "Overindulgence," said Roberts, "i5 a sin."
