REV. DESMOND EVANS, @ missionary from New Gui- nea who is preaching and talking about the cannibal tribes on the island, at King Street Pentecostal Church all next week, shows some of the weapons and masks he has brought back wiih him. After Will Describe Life With Cannibal Tribes Rev. Desmond Evans, a pion- eer missionary who lives among cannibal tribes in New Guinea, will be preaching all next week in Oshawa. He has witnessed. more than 18 cannibal feasts in the eight months he has so far spent with the tribes. Mr.:Evans is preaching at King Street Pentecostal Church, 611 King street west, where he is a guest of the pastor, Rev. E. Howard Kerr. He will also be showing color slidas of the tribes and giving talks about them. He said: 'The impressions people have of happy natives are quite untrue. Four children out of every five die at a very early age. . "The advancement we have made so: far is negligible. They are a people who demand help from we who can give it." TO TOUR CONTINENT Mr. Evans will tour Canada and the United States preaching and telling congregations about the conditions in New Guinea. This August he will return to his native Wales for three months before going back to New Guinea. Many of the Lagan he works among have never before seen a white person. He explained why the tribes practice cannibalism: 'They fight among each other andj when one man kills another he is frightened he will be haunted. 'They reason that every man is two persons. One walks about, talks and shouts but this person goes away when you go to sleep. If they talk to a sleeping man they get no answer so they rea- son that the live person has gone away for awhile. "So, when they kill a man, they eat the body to make sure it can't come back after them." PRIMITIVE PEOPLE It is difficult for people living in Canada to realize just how primitive things are in New Guinea, Mr. Evans said. He took a picture of one chief standing with his spear and with a turtle shell around his neck. When the chief was shown the ig he could not see a picture on it. Said Mr. Evans: "He had never seen a picture before and to him it was just a lot of black and white lines. Eventually I managed to make him realize it was a picture of himself. "Then he wanted to kill me because he thought I had cap tured him on the paper. I gave him the print and he put it under his turtle shell to try and make it part of him." Another example of the sim- Plicity of the New Guinea tribes came when they threw a short wave radio into the river. Rea- son: They thought Mr. Evans had locked a tribe of people in the radio because they could hear voices coming from it. touring Canada and the Unit- ed States Mr. Evans plans to return to the tribes of New Guinea to continue his work. BUSINESS REVIEW By IAN MacKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Writer Activity in junior and senior metals and renewed interest in a select range of speculative mines were the main features on 'week. The big news as far as metals were concerned came Friday with the announcement that American Smelting and Refin- ing Co. had increased the price of copper by one cent to 32 cents a pound, effective imme- diately. This move followed price in- creases of African and Chilean copper from 29% cents to 30% cents a pound. U.S. copper prices have been steady at 31 cents since May, 1961, but Ana- conda,Co., third biggest Ameri- ean producer, followed Ameri- can Smelting's lead after mar- kets had closed Friday. Copper issues on Canadian markets reacted strongly to the iprice boost with most of them surging ahead to establish new highs for the year.

TRAVEL BY CANOE Transport on the island, which is the second largest in the world, is mostly by canoe. A native cut a 65 foot long canoe from a tree for Mr. Evans with only a stone axe for $1.50. It took the man a week to make the craft. Main diet is bananas, coco- nuts and pineapples. Disease| and sickness is everywhere. The tribes have no medicine other than that dished out by a witch doctor. Mr. Evans says druggists in Canada could help greatly by; letting New Guinea have the drugs that are out of date here. Housewives can help by provid- ing bandages and some clothing, Last word from the mission-; Pary: "As long as you do not violate any of the tribal laws and traditions you are safe. Break any of them and you dead." Claims Reds Invasion Of Italy FLORENCE (AP) -- An Ital- fan historian claims he has found a 1943-4" diary of Benito Mussolini telling of a British warning that Soviet troops might invade Italy through Yugoslavia. The alleged author of the warning, Field Marshal Ear! Alexander, denied he had sent euch a message. Duilio Susmel, author of a major biography of Italy's fas- cist dictator, said he collected photostatic copies of 400 pages of unpublished diary in Ger- many, Switzerland and Italy. He said they gave this account of the secret British mission: In February, 1945, a Capt. Tucker came to Mussolini's gen- eral staff in north Italy. He said he was an intelligence agent with an oral warming from Alex- ander, then supreme Allied commander in the Mediterran- ean theatre, that the Italians should defend their upper Adri- atic seacoast against possible penetration by the Russians. The late Marshal Rodolfo Graziani refused. to listen to Tucker but passed details to Mussolini. Then Graziani or- dered the Briton turned over to the Germans, who were occupy- ing northern Italy. Fair Board To Retain 'Symbol' MONTREAL (CP)--The board of directors of the world's fair decided Friday to retain the symbol Parliament rejected last December as a "monstrosity," "weird" and "sickening." A statement said the lack of an effective emblem has ad- versely affected preparations for the 1967 event and "more- over it appears far from certain that any new emblem would re- ceive unanimous approval' or be as good. The emblem by Montreal in- dustrial designer Julien Hebert 'was -- by the board last A vertical line with two diag- onal lines stretching upwards to represent arms--and man--is the basis cf the design. Mr. Hebert linked them in pairs and arranged eight sets in a circle to indicate the shape of the earth and the theme of the fair; Man and his World: It aws understood that under sthe legislation enacted for the fair last December approval of the design by Parliament is no Planned CITY AND DISTRICT "I never heard of such a man (Tucker) and I know nothing about the story at all," said Lord Alexander at his home in England. "I mever sent such @ message." Susmel said the documents were in the files that Mussolini took with him when he tried to flee to Switzerland in April 1945. Italian partisans caught Mussolini and killed him. What- ever papers he had vanished. Authenticity of Susmel's doc- uments has not been estab- lished, but he said they cover the period from April, 1943, to April, 1945. The Italian Neo-Fas- cist party newspaper Il. Secolo wrote that the contents dis- closed so. far correspond accur- ately with known events in Mus- solini's last days. Builder Claims Ex-Boxer Tried $40,000 Threat TORONTO (CP) -- A Toronto builder and land developer tes- tified Friday that James J. Parker, a former, Canadian heavyweight boxing champion, demanded $40,000 from him last Aug. 1.

Senate OKs Name Change For TCA OTTAWA (CP) -- A bill to change the name of Trans-Can- ada Airlines to Air Canada was approved by the Senate Friday.

The Easter Seal campaign in Ontario has raised funds that have made possible a camping program for crippled children better than any other camping program of" its kind in the world, The Ontario Society for Crippled Children and its asso- ciated service clubs in 230 com- munities in Ontario have been making one of their special »rojects the provision of a sum- jaer vacation for needy crippled children who, under normal cir- cumstances, would not be able to get away from their own homes, There are five specially de- signed and operated summer camps for crippled children that accommodate more than 1,200 boys and girls fortwo or three week vacations. These children are taken away from the gruel- ling heat of the summer to ex- perience a real camp program with the emphasis on the par- ticipation by the camper. At camp the children don't com- pete in games 'and activities against each other but agains' their own handicap. In these camps, without excep- Easter Seals Aid Camping Program air and sunshine -- is the boost given to their moral. When a boy cooks his own breakfast of ham and eggs over an open fire in the hills -- that is something to talk about to his friends long after the camps have closed down and the dreary: winter months have set in. When a boy hits a home run on a camp baseball team from a wheelchair, or catches a fish for the first time -- or when a little girl takes part in a camp play or diligently makes her mother a string of beads or her father a pair of Indian mocassins they become an intrical part of the camp games and a real part of the game of life. This summer when most of us will be planning our trips to the cottage, camping expeditions, travelling or some other won- derful summer vacation, there will be many crippled children who will be having an equally good time because people have contributed to the Easter Seal campaign in their community. It is wonderful to realize that every Easter Seal gift will be of some help to a crippled child. tion, the children find the moti- vation to do for themselves those things which they had not thought possible. For instance many children learn to swim for the first time, and, as a mat- ter of fact, every summer some of these children pass their junior and intermediate Red Cross swimming tests. Perhaps the most important part of their unforgettable days at camp -- even more beneficial than the therapeutic value, fresh THE KEY To The SALE LIST WITH PAUL RISTOW REALTOR 728-9474" cstawa"" 1, Tender EAT'N TRUE-TRIM BEEF | 12 KING E. -- 723-3633 Meat Specials!
