LONDON, April Ii -(CP) -_'rhe world's strangest collection of musical instruments belongs to Mrs Mercedes MwKny. back in Eng- land after 15 years in Wat Africa.

her much hard bargaining, in ad- dition to the miscellaneous spells and curses she inherited with some of the instruments.

"It wasn't so bad in the towns." she said. ‘bu-t in the wilds the nat- ive regards his musical ’ trument as a ju-ju-scsnething personal to himself with which he must not part, It is those instruments I prise most."

A grubby-looking cow's horn cost her a day's trek through unknown country—wllh a packw of trouble at the fimsh_ Ln starch of a. kaleri. as the horn is called, she visited a tribe of 200 located in the heart of the Nigerian Jungle.

"I was probably the first whit‘ woman they had ever seen there was a ‘terrible roar as one of them blew through e cow's horn with the end covered with lplders‘ months-ones,

“My boys arranged to purchase the hom, but when I blew through it the natives almost turned pale with horror and demanded it back. They said if their womenfolk saw me take it away they would ccme to a violent end. I got it on con- dition I kept it out of sight till I was a. clear of the colony."

Cactus Instrument

Elsewhere Mrs. MecKay acquired a blrom-s long hollow, lmotbly- brown stick with notches cut in it. Notes similar to those of a xylo- phone are produced by running a drumstick over the notches. The bimm ls made from a cactus plant and the stem, dried in tropical sun, ls hard as iron. ,

Also in her collection is a harp of the type played at the court. of King N ‘-uchadnea1.ar_

"In Biblical times," she said, “it probably crossed the deserts and jungles of Africa until the ides. reached Nigeria. The frame ep- peara to be of hard cherry wood. while the base is of cowikin.

‘fwhen you get 20 native mnlsic- ians playing these simultaneously and singing as well therels plenty of sound. '

Mrs. MacKaws curious hobby atarted when she firlt visited Welt Africa. with her husband, a socio- gm. She was impressed by the sni- ususl variety of native instruments, attributing this to the fact that a different instrument is used fu- every occasion. including births. weddings end funerals.

Political Parties Draw Baiile lines For Campaign

By Clyde Blackburn

OTTAWA, April 26 —(C‘P) - Canad-als political parties wdsy oil- ed vote-gettlng machinery and searched for csndidat for e Fed- eral general election which prob- ably will come June 21.

lacking a. definite date they had the word frccn Prime Minister" 5t. Laurent that Parliament will be dissolved this week and an election held as soon as possible.

That “soon as possible" state- ment gave a clear indication that the date will be June 27, o. time generally forecast and used by the Prime Minister in his statunent of POSINDIQ diatee. "

So far there has been no indic- ation that any party la disappoint- ed about the decision of the Prime Minister to ask the Governor Gen- eral, prdbably Saturday, to dissolve the 20th Parliament. .

The Progressive Conservative Party, sparked by a new leader. George Drew, has 63 candidates al- ready nominated. has dates fixed for 77 more nontinating cement- ions, and can quickly complete sel- ection of candidates for the total of 2M seats to be contested.

Liberals are Qxpqflfi’ to have candidate; in every riding.

It is expected the Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation will eon- test at least 200 seats and the Soc- ial Credit Partywill have candidat- es in at least 100 seats.

The bugabeo that hangs over an election at this time, with the gov- ernrnent holding only a small maj- ority, is_the fear that no party will gel. a clear majority over the others.

That would mean a new election or s. party holding office by virtue of support, perhaps dearly bought. from a minority group.

However, Mr. St. Laurent has been told by his political advisers that he can expect to win st least 150 seats, mostly in Ontario, Que- bec and Maritime Provinces.
