WINTER'S ICY FINGERS The icy mist that- rises from the thundering waters of Niagara Falls leaves a diamond-shiny coating on Bootleg Liquor the trees and shrubs above the gorge.

Brewing Booms Now 3rd On Uganda's List KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) -- The Uganda government fin- ally has come around to accept- ing what Sir Samuel Baker dis- covered in 1864. The British explorer, looking for the source of the Nile, set up his own still to produce a raw spirit from native beer and sweet potatoes. Baker's native companions soon had their own stills bubbl-| _ ing away. They called the prod- uct waragai. By 1963 the brewing of boot- leg liquor had become Uganda's third biggest industry, after cotton and coffee. A committee set up to look into it made a conservative esti- mate that nearly 9,000,000 Afri- cans drank at least a bottle a week and.some three bottles a day. | In lush, fertile Uganda raw materials grow. wild. Pineap- ples, bananas, potatoes, cas- sava, millet, corn and molasses all go tomake waragai. Methylated spirit sometimes is added to give an extra kick and soap is tossed in to reduce acidity. "This tends to give an un- pleasant taste to the product," the waragai com mittee re- ported. SEVERAL NAMES Illegal waragai went by sev- eral names to preserve secrecy. | It was known as kill-me-quick, the fixer, injection, the tear jer- ker and the minister. Mothers dosed their babies on it. Drinking competitions often ended in death. In the kingdom of Toro, a region of Uganda, an estimated 45 per cent of all cash income went for waragai. Waragai was at the root of rape, murder, bribery, and cor- ruption and absenteeism, the committee was told. The Uganda government ,re- alizing it never could beat the bootleggers, joined them. | vertising | The government built a $700,- ;000 distillery, bought the crude bootleg spirit from licensed sup- pliers, refined it, added banana essence and put Uganda's na- tional drink in within the law. It is clear, and tastes like ba- nana-flavored vodka. More than 70,000 bottles were} sold in the first week at $1.40 a} bottle. The government sat back and| watched the profits pour in. | And barflies got drunk at half! the old price. '"'Waragai is good for you," proclaimed a_ government ad- slogan. "Waragai is wonderful."
