Canadians in 1935 averaged about a fifth of a gallon of liquor per capita. Now they con- sume about a gallon each on the average. One result, Illustrated Food Science says, is that Cana- dians are getting fatter. "iquor supplies empty cal ories," the review observes.

The publication suggested that By HENDERSON GALL LUANDA, Angola (Reuters) Anyone seeking the causes of the current revolt in this Portu- guese territory soon becomes aware of two striking aspects of African life here--its abject poverty and the absence of any effective educational program. The standard Portuguese ver- sion of the revolt, which erupted in mid-March, is fhat it is "a Communist plot planned in Mos- cow, organized in the Congo and financed from the United States." But it is apparent to foreign observers in Angola that the causes lie deeper than this. Most agree that the revolt was planned by Angolan refugees in the neighboring Congo repub- lic but it found a ready res- 9 ponse among Bakango tribes- men in northern Angola be- cause of the conditions under which they live. Angola is one of the most backward territories in Africa. In 1960, only 190 students grad- uated from high schools and only 13 of these were Africans. LITERACY LOW At the time of the 1950 cen- isus, the most recent official |figures available, there were {only 33,644 literate Africans in |all of Angola, compared with Imost 4,000,000 who cannot read or write. Today, there are about 4,500,- 000 Africans in the territory. But |it is doubtful whether the ratio |of literates to illiterates has al- tered much. The whole level of education is much lower than even the backward Congo. Apart from lack of education, critics of the regime point to a harsh punishment of Africans, a forced labor system--although the name of it was changed to Scientists Find Dark Hurts Nerves MONDOVI, Italy (AP) -- Do become nervous in the So do scientists.

Maletto was first of the nine scientists to emerge into the light. He stood for several minutes, blinking and shading his eyes against the light. Then he exclaimed: "I can see colors again!

Africans, who constitute the entire population, apart from about 30,000 assimilated Afri- cans entitled to full rights as Portuguese citizens, are forced to work on plantations, roads and other public projects for six months in the year at a fixed wage. Africans who work on the cof- fee plantations are generally paid 10 escudos (35 cents) a day. FIXED PRICES Africans also complain that they must sell their crops to government concessionaires at fixed prices. For very different reasons from those cited by the Afri- cans, Portuguese business and professional men are also re- sentful of official economic pol- icy. Everything is controlled from Lisbon, they say, and this Not Like Most Of Africa By HENDERSON GALL LUANDA (Reuters) -- The first thing that strikes a visitor to Lunanda, capital of Port- ugal's territory of Angola, is that it hardly looks like a part of Africa. Perhaps it is because the Portuguese have been here since 1576, except for one break of seven years, when Luanda was occupied by the Dutch. The red-tiled roofs of the houses in the narrow side streets of the old town and the air of lazy charm give the im- pression of a Mediterranean fishing port. The Atlantic ocean stretches away in a blue misty haze beyond the white beaches and palm trees along an espla- nade. The physical impact of the street scene is predominantly European, and it comes as something of a surprise to learn that about 160,000 Negroes live in Luanda, compared with only 40,000 whites. At night, the impression of a European town is even stronger. Luanda then becomes an almost 100-per-cent white city. For since the uprising by Negro nationalists began last March, an unofficial curfew virtually has emptied the streets of Negroes after dark. Only the constant sight of army uniforms and the rumble of heavy, armored vehicles re- mind the visitor that in remote upcountry forests and moun- tains, Portugal is fighting a bitter war against thousands of Negro rebels. The emergency declared when the uprising began has caused a decline in business. A big new block of apart- ments in a once-fashionable quarter on the outskirts of the capital now stands half-empty. When killings started five months ago in the north, there was a rush for less exposed quarters nearer to the centre of At last people aren't walking on my tail all the time.

Here's where you can see them: SABYAN MOTORS Howdy, Stranger. A gas pump and the average Volks- wagen don't get together too often. (At 38 miles to a gallon you can understand why.) When they do have a visit, it's short and sweet. The journey between fillings is fun, too. For the first time, on the new deluxe Volkswagen, you'll find a gas gauge to cheer you up between pay days. (Don't worry if the needle seems to be stuck. It's just slow, that's all.) High gas mileage is good, but it Isn't enough. It's the efficient use of gas that really counts. The VW engine has been designed to get every ounce of power from regular gasoline. There are other reasons why a Volkswagen feels out of place in a service station. For example, you'll 334 RITSON ROAD SOUTH TELEPHONE 723-3461 BOOK YOUR PLIGHTS THROUGH -- Howard Travel Bureau ~sAX SHOPPING CENTRE WH 2.6690 never need oil between changes.
