THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1951 THE DAILY TYTIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIFTEEN Sahara Puritans Among the peoples of the Sahara none is more interesting than the miles due south of Algiers, whose religious beliefs and so- organization have caused them be known as "the Puritans of the ," writes Ivor Thomas in the Manchester Guardian. To understand their beliefs it is to go back to the dispute over the succession to Mahomet which shook Islam in its earliest days. A group of dissidents called Kharijites, meaning those who had "left," asserted that the Khalif need not necessarily come from the prophet's family but that the most person should be elected and should hold the office only so long as he was worthy. They re- fused to recognize any head of their religion except God and re- any teaching not directly from the Koran. In brief, Kharijites were the Protest- of , and, like the Protest- of Europe, they soon split two main sects, the Cofrites the Ibadites. The Ibadites took decision to go to the outposts of lam in an effort to reform it, and five of them, led by Abou el Xhotab and Abdurrahman ibn Rostem, a Persian, made their way to the Maghreb, the name given by the Arabs to what is now Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, The Ber- bers had been converted to Islam at the point of the sword about 60 years earlier, and they accepted with enthusiasm the heretical ver- sion of it taught by Rostem--as enthusiastically as their forefathers had accepted the Christian heresy known as Donatism, according to which the efficacy of the sacrament depended on the personal worthi- ness of the minister, HELD FAST : About AD. 761 Rostem made his capital at Tiaret, some 150 miles southeast of Oran. But internal dissensions exposed the'Ibadites to the attacks of the Moslems, who destroyed Tiaret in 908. Rather than give up their beliefs the Iba- dites took to the desert and found- ed the city of Sedrata. But even here they were not free from per- secution, and about the year 1000 they retreated still further south to the desolate Chebka (net) in the region known as the Mzab. There they at last found a permanent home and from its name have be- come generally known as Mzabites or Mosabites. The towns oe pentapolis are i 18808 grim mosque with a pyramidal minaret, intended for a fort as well few external windows.

The gates are losed at night, and no stranger is allowed to pass the night there. The inhabitants of Beni Isguen are the highest exponents of a Pur- itanism which is common to all the Mszab. This Puritanism attaches itself particularly to the women, who are never allowed to leave the Mzab. The men have greater free- dom of movement. It was indeed realized at the outset that the com- munity could not maintain itself solely on the Chebka. Wonders were done in sinking deep wells, and by means of these wells the Mzabites have extracted all that can be extracted from their im- noverished country, but from earl- fest days they have been forced to REGS ERREFEE gE E or form an innate aptitude, they have become the astutest business men in North Africa. The men usually leave the Mzab for a considerable time each year to look after their shops in the coastal region known as the Tell, and they may readily be discovered in Algiers.

It may not supply as satisfying scare headlines, ar as many plausible arguments for prejudiced labor agi- tators, but it should supply the honest and thoughtful citizen, who only wants to know what is really happening to him, a sounder baris for his thinking. When the citizen picks up. his paper and reads that the Cost of Living has advanced to 184.1 he is aghast. He assumes that his costs have increased 85% -- which of course isp't true--and that there- fore the doMar he earns has a buying power of only 54 cents. He can't be blamed for being disturbed and fearful but perhaps he might be blamed a little for not looking about him and wondering if, con- sidering the way he lives, what he | iq has been through, how his tastes have changed ghd how his earnings have increased since the years 1935- 39, whether he has really suffered so much. Those who have really suffered are those who must live on fixed incomes with no increases of wages to meet increasing costs. For most of us the suffering has been nominal. We have developed tastes we did not have in earlier years, We have lived through two wars and the near threat of anoth- er, We know these have to be paid for, and by us. We live better, wear better elothes, have better food, a more balanced diet and innumerable added conveniénces and services. It is costing us more, but nothing like 84%. In some months, perhaps our costs have gone up 2% but it has taken us a dozen years to build up the total. And then, as we have said, it is a spurious comparison, for we are |Barrel Ready For Next Try At Niagara Niagara Falls, Ont. (CP) -- A 12 - foot metal barrel is waiting to take Leslie Sander over Niagara Falls. A welding firm here built it for the New York interior decor- ator who said he would make the plunge Aug. 25. william (Red) Hill, 38, lost his life in a stunt plunge over the Falls Sunday and Premier Frost yesterday ordered Ontario Provin- cial Police to stop anyone else from trying the feat. The order brought no indication from Sander that he had given up the idea of pitting his shiny red- and-silver barrel against the 165- foot cataract. He dropped out of sight two weeks ago after coming hete to make preparations for his Pp. not comparing the same ways of e. Moré than that, we can't con- sider price increases without putting a value on compensating benefits. To mention only one, while we have been very vocal about the increase in the index of prices to 184.1 ale most nobody has thought to men- tion that the 'manufacturing wage index, in the same time, has increased to 245. If your dollar then is down to a purchasing value of 54 cents the manufacturer's dol- lar can buy only 40 cents' worth of effort. It should be clear that if we workers delivered better than 40 cents in effort for the dollar we earn, we might very quickly re- duce prices to where our own dol- lar might do better for us. Most people are honest and most people would respond to such arguments if there were not so many forces misdirecting their thinking, Z\™ = A, sweet fresh flavour N A A QUALITY PRODUCT OF THE SPECIAL!
