A 'PAGE EIGHTEEN = THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1951 Reds and Tigers Terrorize Natives of Malay Jungle By LIONEL HUDSON Singapore (Reuters) -- Man-eat- ing tigers are a growing menace today in Malaya, where the bulk of the population is already living in daily fear of Communist terrorists. Thriving, ferocious families of tigers are on the prowl and they are becoming bolder, according to the latest up-country reports. Malaya's tigers have multipled rapidly during the last 10 years while people have been pre-occu- pied first with an invasion, then with enemy occupation, and now with armed insurrection. Hunting the tigers has become foolhardy. There are too many Communists in the jungle with guns waiting to take a shot at the hunter. The olive-green jungle which covers nine-tenths of Malaya has come safe for wild animals only. Game authorities say that tigers here have rarely had it so good. There were never more unmolested wild pig and deer on the hoof in the jungle for the tigers, Well-fed cats have larger litters. The worst tiger menace is on the sparsely-populated east coast area. So far this year at least 20 civilians have been killed by tigers in Treng- ganu, a state lying inland from Malaya's east coast, near the Thailand border. This is more than the total num- ber of civilians killed by guerrillas in Pahang, Trengganu and Kelan- tan in the same period. Not long ago the big cats were content to snatch dogs and goats from the village outskirts. Recently, there have been numerous reports of them lurking near rubber plans tations, slinking through the nunder- growth to pounce on the rubber tappers when they reach the rows of rubber trees closest to the edge of the jungle. Some tappers, never knowing as they work among their trees at dawn whether they are being stalked by a man-eater, now refuse to go out alone. As one planter remarked: "The tappers can usually pay off bandits but tigers do not need protection money." Pius Vendergon, a.seasoned hun- ter on the east coast, attributed the spate of killings by tigers to the fact that security force patrols and guerrillas may have shot and wounded tigers in the jungle. When a tiger has once bean wounded, he said, it will attack any man on sight even after the wound has healed. But an experienced British army guerrilla hunter stated that troops on patrol would not usually dare to shoot at jungle animals for fear of giving away their position to the enemy. And the guerrillas are be- lieved to be so short of ammunition that they would be unlikely to waste bullets on tigers except in self-defence. Eskimo's More-Interested In Inflation Than in Reds Ottawa (CP) -- A tip to the Rus- sians: Your propaganda machine isn't working in the north. Canada's 8000 Eskimos, absorbed in whale hunting apd fox trapping, don't know about Russians or trouble - making Communists. They don't even know about Korea. Like everyone else, they've bee! caught in the inflation whirl, bu they laugh it off. That's the way two National Film Board photographers sized up the northern situation after a 5000-mile, 15-month film - making jaunt through Arctic wastelands. Douglas Wilkinson, husky 31-year old film - maker from Toronto, and his 30 - year old wife, Vivienne, came back to civilization in Ottawa and almost fainted -- in 60 - degree weather -- with the heat. They couldn't get used to the "warm spell" after battling the Arctic's 55 - below, - zero weather. But they were glad to be back and plunged into a big dishful of "greens,'"' lettuce, celery, cucum- bers -- things they missed most in the Arctic. Their northern jaunt to film Canada's first detailed documen- tary on the Eskimo's complete cycle, from a babe - in - arms to youth, marriage and old age, took the Toronto couple to Cherterfield Inlet and Southampton island and points beyond that, more than 1000 miles north of Winnipeg. They battled a storm that sent their tent crashing on their heads and = fought against death when their little gas range sprang a leak. Their Eskimo guide collgps- ed on the igloo floor and Douglas managed to cut a hole in the ice before he, too, slipped to the ground. Living in the Arctic the pair ac- quired a taste for Mucktuk, the skin of the white whale, and for murre, a duck - sized bird which inhabits the Arctic by the thou- sands. Though some Eskimos had access to radios, they had "child- like" minds, said Douglas, and knew nothing about such things as Communism and Korea. Inflation had hit them, but apparently they did not care. The price of tea had almost doubled to $1.25 a pound and an- other basic need -- ammunition-- had increased along with duffel cloth, a' heavy blanket - like ma- terial which the eskimo used for making parkas and socks. Two years ago it was selling at $6 a yard -- now it costs $15 a yard. '"'But the Eskimo doesn't grum- ble," said Douglas. '"He's more interested in getting enough foxes to buy all he needs. He has no savings. account. He spends all he makes." Study Way fo Concentrate Liquid Food Ottawa (CP)--The National Re- search Council is working on a way to put three quarts of milk in a one-quart bottle. \Jt isn't done with mirrors. Sci- oes of the council's division of app) biology hope to do it by evapora milk at low temperat- ures -- abbot 60 degrees. "Concentration of liquid foods by two low temperature evaporation is a relatively new approach to our food preservation and handling problems' the research council reported today in a statement on its dairy studies. "The older technique of high- temperature drying often produces slightly-cooked or scalded flavors. The new technique minimizes these changes in flavor and will there- Igre find increasingly-wide applica- on." Another goal of the scientists is to preserve frozen concentrated milks for long periods, if possible the nine to 10 months between "flush" and '"'short" production. At present whole milk can be frozen and stored at 10 degrees be- low zero for four months. Concen- trated milk, however, allliough it can be frozen more economically, keeps for only about two months at 10 below. Even after a few weeks it tends to be chelky or even curd- | Co-operative Hospital Cuts Rates Shelburne, Ont. (CP) -- Ontario's first cooperative hospital has been open only eight months--but al- ready it is starting to pay divi- dends, not only in good health but also in cash. Officials of the $23,000 hospital say that when the hospital goes in- to its second year next Jan. 1, its 400 charter members will enjoy a 50-per-cent deduction on hospital fare for themselves and their fami- es. In addition to their annual fwt rate of $10, they will pay only $2.75 per day in hospital. Non-members admitted to the 14-bed institution must pay $5.50 a day. Elmer Dykes, chairman of the hospital board, says that the low rate--dollars below normal hospi- tal charges in the province -- doesn't mean the hospital is ham- stringing itself financially to make an impressive showing. 'First-year experience, when we gave members a 20-per-cent dis- count," he says, 'has convinced us that the 50-per-cent discount plan will strengthen our financial posi- tion." Members of the hospital feel that they have demonstrated the prac- ticability of the suggestion by pro- vincial and federal health officials that more smaller hospitals would take the pressure off largér insti- tutions. The hospital is without provincial grants because cooperative hospi- tals were unknown when the rele- vant legislation was passed. Kiss and Slap Leads to Rap Los Angeles (AP) -- Mrs. Lavon I. Petee, 33, has sued for $27,500 from the man who proposed to her, alleging battery and damage to her restaurant business. Her story: A retired Canadian Army major, Harry Bateson, ask- ed her to marry. She accepted but insisted the he refrain from kissing her until she obtained a divorce from her estranged hus- band. He refused. He in- sisted on kissing her, and when she protested, he slap- ped her face six times, kick- ed her, and chased her out of his horticultural school, where their meeting had taken place. Mrs. Petee's spit further alleges that the posted" notices at his school that her restaurant across the street was out of bounds for earning $20 a day before, but that now her business is virtually ruin- ed. She wants $20 a day damages for every day since he lister her place as out of bounds. She says he has an income of $60,000 a year, owns considerable property and two boats. .

Great Lakes Changing Constantly Toronto (CP)--Changes are tak- ing place continually, although gen- erally unobserved, in the waters and also beneath the surface of the Great Lakes. The moon, atmos- peric pressure, precipitation and evaporation, run-off and man him- self are all instrumental in these changes. They were described to the American Shore and Beach Con- servation Association by Charles A. Prince, of the hydrographic ser- vice of the Canadian Department of Mines and Technical Surveys. One of the most curious of the phenomena is the seiche. A seiche than it ever is caused by areas of unbalanced atmospheric pressure over the sur- face of the lake which, in turn, cause a variance from normal of the height of the water. They are more or less continuous and bring changes in the water level varying from six inches--in a normal seiche--to five feet in a major one. The great rises in the water level don't occur often on Lake Ontario butdmssore familiar) on Lake Superior. A detailed account of a Lake Ontario seiche was printed in the Toronto Mirror of Oct. 3, 1845. It occurred at Cobourg and was ob- served by several persons: "The whole lake seemed to be going bodily away. In a few min- utes nearly a third part of the in- ner harbor was left bare when, suddenly, the tide turned again and came as rapidly back, filling The least two feet higher harbor at was before." and wrap and tie the parcel before | dropping it into the refuse contain- er, | WITH LIFE?

Faded Diary Opens Page Of History Winnipeg (CP)--A judge's mes- senger reached into a desk at the legislative buildings here recently and drew out a few more pages of Canada's secluded past. ~ The faded #nd brittle documents he held in his hand were written proof that "Yankee" traders had penetrated as far north as Fort El- lice, Sask., as early as September, 1859. They were discovered 35 years ago in the ruins of Fort Pelly, Sask., by bank manager W. B. Gal- braith . when he thrust his hand into a crevice in the crumbled walls. He kept them for a number of years and later gave them to a nephew. Their importance as Cana- dian historys was not realized until they were shown to a Winnipeg newspaper reporter. C. P. Wilson, editor of the Hud- son's Bay Company magazine, "The Beaver" has identified one of the documents as a letter written by Archibald McDonald, who discover- ed the headwater of the Yukon riv- er. . BUILT FORT YUKON : Another letter bore the name of Alexander Hunter --Murray-- who built Fort Yukon in Alaska while it still was in Russian hands. Murray, in his letter, mentions sending horses and' carts with pro- visions to Fort Pelly. "We are doing very little in the dried meat business but we are al- ways getting some pemmican," he wrote. "We now hear that the buf- falo is coming closer and I expect we may get provisions yet this fall." Two agreements to work for the Hudson's Bay Company seem strange when compared to 1951. One of them--signed in 1853 by Daniel Alfred Harrison of Enfield, England, outlined an agreement to work for five years on a sliding scale of wages. Harrison was to receive $60 for the first year, $75 for the next, $90 for the third, $120 for the fourth, and the grand sum of $150 for his fifth year service. The second agreement was signed by Edward Monkman in 1868. He was to receive $75 for one year's work. Apparently Monkman couldn't read or write for the agreement was signed with a cryptic "X."

The Senate committee report goes farther and deplores the grow- ing public dependence upon the State. It warns that creating new demands for revenue to meet these expanding fixed costs can have but one result -- the growing power of government and the steady decline of the liberties of the people. This warning,. be it remembered, comes not from those who can easily be dubbed "interested parties," but from our own parliament. Its re- port clearly states that however necessary social measures may ap- pear to be the inflationary pres- sures that result can not be de- bated. These pressures are serious enough that under prolonged set- back they might easily bankrupt these measures. The Senate committee also points out that there are personal obli- gations of sharp importance. It warns of the paralyzing impact of inflation not only on the economy but on the thinking of the peeple -- the safeguard of democracy.
