CONTBBRY CIIMEI AT THE LIBRARY New Book Tells Of Last Survivors Of Old Race Charming Primitive People The Bushman And The Pygmies The Heart Of The Hunter By Lauren Von dcr Post The Heart Of The Hunter is the second book by Mr Van dcr Post dealing with the Afri can Bushman the lnst surviv ors of the oldest race in Africa perhaps in the world The first book The Lost World Of The Kalahari was disappoint lng It lacked cohesion and only began to be interesting when the author finally roach ed the Kalahari Desert about half way through the book and make contact with the Bush men Heart of The Hunter also suffers from certain lack of cohesion It divides olrnost equ ally into two parts which might almost be road as separ ate arts but eac in Its way Is nteresting beautiftu written and the parts are closely related The first half of the book deals with the authors personal contacts with the Bushmeu This is the Van der Post of Venture ToTheInterior writing the man to whom people and the landscape in which they live are inseparath linked so that it is impossible to consider one without the other VIVID DETAIL He recreates in vivid detail the shark and strangely beaut iful desert world of the Kai aharl its animals plaan and Its rare waterholes In this ruthlesst lovely landscape his Bushmen walk as men who be long supernaturally skilful hun ters gentle but wary and in credible durable As they come gradually to trust the stranger and take him Into their confidence he reveals people poor indeed in material wellbeing but rich in the less tangible possessions of the mind and spirit For when these pe ople paid him their greatest compliment by introducing him to story world as real and alive to them as the actual world in which they lived he found that these childlike people possessed mythology as rich and complex as any that man has devised to exnlain the universe and his place in it It seemed indeed as if in the mind and spirit of this ancient and dwindling race there lay the seeds of all the worlds great mythologies The second half of the book In an analysis of this mythol ogy in so far as the autbnr was able to learn about it in the short time at his disposal Mr Van der Post draws many parallels between this mythology and those others which underly the worlds great religious In discussing the act ivities of Mantis the chief spirit of the Bushman myth his family in all its ramifications and transformations his intim ate relationship witballthe elements of nature and with all living creatures Mr Van der Post tends perhaps not inten tionally to make other mythol ogies seem limited and ovah simplified by comparison it is as if these small desert hunters denied by their fellow men all the good things of the life of the body have found instead life of the spirit immeasurab ly rich in imagination and cre ativity PREMATURE It may be that Mr Van der Posts conclusions are prema ture based on inadequate know ledge and insufficient study of people whose origins go back beyond the reach of human memory to the very beginning REPORT ROM ILK Bullock Drops Through Ceiling By McINlYRE HOOD Special London England Correspondent for The Barrie Examiner TRURO Cornwall Miss Mildred Hear Baker 65year old splnster lives alongside the cattle market at iruro And she was making Cornish pasties in her sculiery when there was loud crash above her head and bullock dropped through the ceiling This was the story which she told the judge when she appear ed in fruro County Court on an action for damages against the owner of the wayward bullock 0n the day of this incident she told the judge the bullock had jumped over the wall of the cattle market and landed right on the roof of her sculiery The roof was not made to stand such rough usage so the logs of the bullock Went right through it and it stuck fast on the roof Miss Baker shrieked pounded out into the garden like an Olympic sprinter and locked herself in anoutside lavatory heard an awful bang said Miss Baker looked up and saw four legs coming through the roof and almost touching the top of my head was afraid the cow might come down and get me The bullock was suspended on of things Nevertheless his dis cussion of what he has found out so for given in love and understanding and quite without condesceusion makes enthralling reading intellectually stimulat ing and emotionally stimulating It gives one to think The Forest People By CoIIn Inmbull To the young English anthro pologist Colin TurnbulLtba Pygmies of the Congo are fri ends He spent three years in the Ituri Forest area where they live and came to know these very likeabla people in timately For one year he liv ed with group of them as they moved around the forest for hunting honey gathering and trading with the Negro tribes in the clearings The Pygmies are very an cient people who have lived in the forest for many thousands of years Although they average less than four and half feet in height they are powerful and tough and have no fear of tho iforest Mr Turnbull exr plains It is their world and hi return for their affection and trust it supplies them with all their needs other Africans he says cannot live in the forest because they do not know its secrets how to hunt the game how to find the hidden wild fruits nutritious roots mushrooms honey and termit es Termites are an important delicacy Again to quote the author they roam the forest at will in small isolated bands or hunting groups They have no fear because for them there is no danger For them there is little hardship so they have no belief in evil spirits For them it is good world In this way they are happy ex ception to most primitive peopl es who are beset by supersti tions REAL FRIENDS Mr Turnbull regarded the little band of people he lived with as real friends He found them to be happy individu alistic people with good sometimes boisterous sense of humor They had their little vanities jealousies and idiosyn craeies their disputes and their love affairs They spent many evenings in song and dancing her roof for about 20 minutes before it was released by farm ers who came to her aid It was then led through the kitchen and out of her front door If left behind trail of havoc an terrible mess in the soull ery with rain pouring in through the holes in the roof Miss Baker said the incident had shocked herterribly and she had to have medical attent ion dont og out to the scull ery on Wednesdays now she said always shake little when hear the cows Coupled with Miss Baker in her action for damages was her landlord Hadley Jenkins owner of the bousenlhey both claimed damages against the owner of the bullock Kenneth Hawkey farmer of Ken ncar Truro and the Truro City Coun oil from whose market the ani mal escaped The judge took sympathetic view of Miss Bakers ex cri ences lie awarded her $45 an ages plus further $75 as comp ensation for shock The landlord of the house was awarded $150 for repairs to the roof through which the bullock had dropped into Miss Bakerfsacullery MrHawkey its owner was ordered to pay both claimsplus the costsof the two plaintiffs and also the costs of the Truce City Council As he describes them many of them become personalities to the readers In order to live with the Pygmies Mr Turnbull had to have endurance He had to keep up with their long rapid treks through dense forest to walk noiselessly to Wake part in their hunting expeditions and In all their activities He also needed sympathy and imagine tion as well as his scientific background He apparently had these qualities and so he is able to tell us about their cus toms their nomad camps their ceremonies especially Ihe mob irno in which they sing to the forest and praise it for its kindness The mollmo cere mony impressed him deeply and he describes it at consider able length Perhaps he could Itllave condensed this part lit He also emphasises their co operative way of living and their reasonabldway of settl ing disputes in an informal waySome of the scenes he describes effectively taking the reader into the atmosphere of the great forest with the light filtering lazily through the trees He liked and admired the Pygmies and conveys these feelings to the reader This all adds up to an unusual and ap pealing book ft omwanrposr Sevigny Packs Many Ideas Intro Words By PATRICK NICEOBON tly appreciative of his learned hosts to deliver wary profound speech Unlike the average banquet speaker who says little In mam words Mr Sevigoy packed many ideas into mere 3000 words Among the many points of major concern to Canadians which be reviewed were nuciur warfare the spread of commu nism counterpropaganda and internatlonel trade Hn persua sively reasoned that link may exist in solving these worries If we can open up foreign markets for twoway trade Mr Sevigny pointed out we will not only maintain our own prosper ity by selling our immense sur plus production we will help our new trading partners by buying their materials in rc turn and also reveal to them the attractions of on demo cratic way of life if crfiuns of foreign countries are able to cnioytha success of our system he suggested we will win them to our cause so that they will join with us in oombaftiing the evil of worldwide communism Few Canadians will argue against the urgency to expand our foreign trade All will wcllt come the novel concept that this could also serve as power Inf and needed free world plop agenda CONSTRUCTION BOOM Praising Canadas domestic development Mr Soviguy vealed that government experts have forecast that some new homes may be built in Canada during the next four years This would indicate boom for the industry which directly and in directly employs more Cane dians than any other Ourhome builders have never before at tained this huge volume But out of those 3000 words political and newspaper critics focussed on just 14 words in the past six months communist governments have taken over British Guiana and Ecuador With great bowl heard across Canada parliamentary time and newsprint were fritlt lered on what was perhaps diplomatic fuuxpas yet was certainly supported by facts and was in no event matter of domestic political concern Liberal and ND MP criticized Mr Sevin for that prcsumcd mote but none referred to his very real nugget suggesting housing boom Newspapers like wise rated it more important to Canadians that Mr Sevigny be chided for his reference to comlt munisrn in two small laun Amerlcan countries WHO KNEW THE TRUTH This raises the pertinent queslt lions How shallow can political critics get How sensational do we want our press Weiiviniormcd observers sug gest that the Opposition in Pres and Parliament was CIlBS log an imaginary witch For ex ample the responsible Reuters news agency that Oieddi Jagan prime minister of British Guiana styles him self lilorxlstLeninist and was ousted as head of the colonial government in 1953 when in British feared he was about to establish Communist bridges head in South America Else where he was rewited lo have married Young Communist IAagucr in Chicago and to have home yelling Marxist war cries Headlincd Turn to the bolt report on Ecuadors president Carlos Amscmena described how he had recently visited Moscow and returned calling Krushchov my friend and said that he vowed to support Castros Cuba and issued an invitation to other Communist lands Very recent events in British Guiana also support Mr Sev ignyl opinion But the moral of that episode might be that Ca nadians should not have national news suppressed so that allow tiou can be given to splitting hairs as to whether foreign poli ticians are communists or yell like communists or are the friends of Communists it is greattribute to the achievements of our governmcni that its political opponents can nub find such picayune grounds for an attack upon one of its ministers BIBLE THOUGHT The word of the Lord
