J4 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Wednesday, January M4, 1958 THE RIGHT OF MAN All World's A Laugh Just Ask Rabelaisians By GODFREY ANDERSON PARIS (AP)--A jovial 16th-cen- tury monk, who wrote 'laughter is the right of man," is the unwit- ting patron of a non-political so- ciety which keeps a thousand mem- . bers cheerful in the modern world. Francois Rabelais, born in 1490 in central France, grew up to be not only a monk but a doctor who believed laughter could cure many of humanity's ills. The robust life he led gave the world a new adjective--Rabelaisian. Oddly enough it was an American couple--Girard and Kathleen Hale of Santa Barbara, Cal.--who re- vived the Rabelaisian cult in Prance. the 8 d World So the Hales founded the com- panions of Rabelais, who under- take to love their fellow-men, treasure liberty of thought, believe, with Rabelais, that laughter is the right of man, and agree to give some measare of friendship and hospitality to fellow Rabelaisians throughout the world, if and when they meet. In return for a life membership fee of $10, the companions receive a parchment certificate bearing a portrait of the laughing monk, painted by Girard Hale, a well- known American mural artist. They also receive from the gov- ernor of Tours a letter promising them a chance to see "many beautiful and historic places not Right after War, they decided the world needed more good fellowship and laughter. They started the Companions of Rabelais. The Hales were living in the French village of Maille, near Tours, when they heard that the nearby farmhouse where Rabelais was born was falling into disrepair. A local French society was doing what it could but lacked funds to establish a Rabelais museum. usually accessible to tourists in general" whenever they come to Rabelais' home country. ' The companions now have a club- room in the cellar of the farm- house, where some of, Rabelais' favorite maxims are scribbled on the whitewashed walls. The companions indignantly deny their society is just an eating and drinking club. The French govern- ment is taking an interest in its development. The ministry of fine arts is aiding in restoration work and the post office has issued a special 12-franc Rabelais stamp. About half the companions are Americans. The rest are spread over 23 countries. The late William Lyon Mackenzie King, former Canadian prime min- ister, was among the companions' NIGHT FIRE WATCH HAMILTON (CP)--Hamilton fire- men received orders Tuesday that at least one man must be awake at each station all night.

But when a 2000-square- mile lake begins to appear in Ash- anti country a few years from now, the tallest tales of juju will go into eclipse. Britain's cocoa colony proposes to dam the muddy, meandering Volta River, submerging one-fift- ieth of the entire country but giv- ing in return enough hydrc-electric power to put the Gold Coast high among the aluminum producers in the world, the National Geographic Society says. The project has been approved by the British government. Costing over $400,000,000 and requiring 20 years to complete, the Volta. pro- ject will spawn roaring mills, new railroads and a new port at Teme on the Gulf of Guinea. It will pro- vide inland water transportation across one of the world's largest man-made lakes, and irrigate thou- sands of square miles of semi-arid land. / NATION NAMED GHANA Nearly the size of Oregon, the Gold Coast actually extends 440 miles inland. It includes not only the original colony along the shore, but also the back-country Ashanti province, the grassy Northern Ter- ritories, and a part of Togoland administered by the British under United Nations trusteeship. Its pop- | me ulation is estimated at 4,400,000, | palm all but 7,000 of whom are Africans. African ministers and an African date legislature today exercise virtual self-rule in the Gold Coast. A new being slowly built there, becoming the first Negro n the British Common- first eountry-wide pop- ular election, held in 1951, was watched with interest all over the world. When the day of independence arrives, the new state probably will be named Ghana, for the ancient ancestoral kingdom of the Ashanti Gold gave the tropical territory its present name, but gold was long ago as the principal source of wealth from the colony's rich earth. Today, while the Gold Coast stands sixth in world gold production, it ranks first among' sources of the cacao bean, from which cocoa and chocolate are made. In diamond output it stands Manganese, crucial in the age of tallurgy, tropical mahogany, 'oil and kola nuts, all add to its wealth. Almost untapped to are entire hilllops of rich bauxite, the ore from which alum- inum will be smelted by electric- \ ity taken from the Volta River. Enough ore has already been prov- ed -- 225,000,000 tons -- to feed the proposed smelters for two centur- ies, and produce 120,000 long tons of aluminum a year. "THE MINE" Portuguese explorers rounding Africa's western hump in 1471 were the first Europeans to land on the Gold Coast, although there is evid- ence that the Phoenicians may have preceded them. So plentful was gold for trade that the landing place was named Elmina -- '""The Mine". Eleven years later, to pro- tect their foothold, the Portuguese crown sent an expedition to build the fortress of St. George there. Among its members were Christo- pher Columbus and Bartholomeu French, English, Dutch, Swedes, Danes and Prussians followed Por- tugal's lead. Forts dotted the Guinea coast every few miles. They fought the natives and each other. By the 17th century, gold had been surpassed by another source of profit. Thousands of slaves were shipped each year from the Gold Coast to colonies in the New World. until British 'naval gune backed up England's abolition of the slave trade in 1807. Britain gradually gained ascend- ancy on the Gold Coast, although seven Ashanti wars, the last in 1900, muddied the colony's pro- gress. In this century, however, the natural wealth of the colony, particularly in cocoa farming be- gan 70 years ago, has brought great strides. Aluminum unlocked by the Volta promises an even more shin- ing future. DIES AT 9 TORONTO (CP)--Mrs. David Yeamans, 99, the second oldest resident of suburban Scarborough, died Sunday. She was a former pupil of Alexander Muir, composer of "The Maple Leaf Forever." Mrs. Yeamans was a direct de- scendant of the family of David Thomson, who first moved into the township in 1796.
