As far as the eye can see the muddy waters move slowly to the distant estuary bearing their cargo of human and animal corpses, trees, branches, roofs and all the miscellaneous flotsam of a peasant econ- omy. The walls and roofs of huts made of plaited palm leaves soon part company and make their separate ways to the sea: mud huts, and houses made of mud-baked bricks, dissolve so that when the waters recede little is left.

Slowly hope returns. for the peasant is inured to catastrophe by the inborn ex- perience of a thousand generations. The river is a generous friend. but one not en- tirely to be trusted. He gives life, and he takes life away; he is the son of srahma.

See solves in Pongiilns?

Penguins always have fascinated people, says the Philadelphia Enquirer and then continues: That they continue to do so is indicated by the fact that a Brooklyn de- partment store has contributed 52500 to the Coney Island Aquarium, now a-build- ing, to buy a colony of penguins.

If that seems like a lot for penguins it should be remembered that, like motorcars, they come in many styles and models, prices starting at 55100, with the super de luxe emperor penguin selling for as much as 51200.

Those who have visited the penguins at zoos may have caught on to the fact that penguins consider themselves superior to people!

True, when explorers have invaded the Antarctic a committee of penguins, shining in their white stuffed shirts, usually has come forward to greet them. Then the leader makes a speech of welcome in pen- guinese (which is no more incomprehens- ible, we are told, than quite a bit of human utterance).

But generally the penguin seems to be- lieve that human beings should be kept in their place. Perhaps there is one factor which makes people like penguins. They are not to be taken for granted. Their favor is to be sought. Their dignity is to be respected.

Yet some penguins are vain. Some are stupid. Most like to have their pictures taken. Even the 551200 kind. Could it be that the chief reason they fascinate us is that, in them, we see ourselves as they see us? It's a sobering thought.

FROM FERN HILL

Now an I was young and easy under the apple boughs

About the lilting house and happy as the gras was green,

The night. above the dlngle starry,

Time let. me hail and climb

Golden in the heyday: of his eyes.

And honored among wagons I was prince of the apple tovvns

And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves

Trail with daisies and barley,

Down the rivers of the windfall light.

And as I was green and carelree. famous among the barns About the happy yard and singing as the farm was home,

In the sun that is young once only.

Tim.-. let me play and be

Golden in the mercy of his means,

And green and golden I was hunts- man and herd;mI.n, the calves

Sang to my born, the foxes on th:- htlls barked car and cold.

And the sabbath rang slowly

in the pcbblca of the streams .

holy

Nothing I caicd. in the lamb whitc days, that time would take me

Up to the swallow-thronged loft. by the shadow of my hand,

In the moon that is always rising

Nor that. riding to sleep

I should hear him fly with l.hc high fields

And wake to the farm forever fled from the childless land.

Oh I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,

Time held me green and dying

Such ness surely was the experience of in "iy who listened to the Wcdncs- day night broadcast of the verse of that Welshman Dylan Thomas.

Yes we lieard Dylan Thomas speak, communicating to listeners his manful and sympathetic ap- prehension of the multitudinous de- lights of life, the soul of his Welsh and Celtic being outpouring to an nudicnce the breadth of this land. We also heard the drama he wrote, spoken by Welsh actors of the British Broadcasting system - the BBC -- so lllftl the whole of twenty- fnur hours in a little seaport of Wclcs. was understood in pathos nnd mcrrimcnt, thc pitiful with the good. the bad with the beauti- ful -- along with cock-crow at break of day. and the voices of children coming from school.

THE WAY

,Mnvbc this is what. is needed now. l--Loiicloii Free Press.

The days when R.C.M.P. Con- stables, alone or in pairs. were landed at for northern posts and left. in almost complete isolation for a year or two, no longer Are

A few days ago I had on interest lng-and provocative-talk with a young lad to whom I turn now and than when I grow weary of com- mon and familiar pbtrsophlcal viewpoints. Incidentally, it. is a good diversion and by no means II waste of time.

The boy is ten years old and in grade fivc. This latest. cncounter took place a day or two before his school was scheduled to re- open and, oi couise, I started the interview with the overdone ob- servation that I was 'tsurc" he was very glad to be going back to school. "No", he said. "I'm not I hate the idea". In a very few minutes he gave me to u.ndei'st.3nd that. if he had anything to my about it. there viouldn't be any teachers or my schools. "what's the good of them?" was his sum- ming up.

When I asked him how he ex- pected to learn anything if he did not go to school he replied: "I uo.i'i. want to leain anything and, anyway, you don't learn very much .Al sc.i.u.. My Uncle Bill went. for ten years and he doesn't. know any more than I do". I don't hap- pen to know his Uncle Bill, so I can either confirm nor deny the allegation.

He volunteered the information that he was gomg to have the same teacher this year as last "ilow do you like her?" I asked him. "I don't. like her at all', no told me. "She isn't. cross or anything like that and I must .333" she has very good looks, bu". she's A teacher and I don't lixi: niiyuiic uho teaches school.” This led me to wonder-out loud-if this anti-teacher sentiment. is wide- spread. I-le assumed me it is. "it anyone tells you he likes school and teachers", he said, "don't. believe him; he's just. pretending".

Further prodding on my part- all done very discreetly, oi course- brouiiht out a list of specific things which are responsible for this anti-school sentiment. They may be summarized M follows: having to get up the same time every ntorn mg; having to "dress up" evcry day; not being allowed to talk across the room; having to sit still two hours at n time; homework.

When he asked me point-blank ii I had been fond of school when I was his age I said. ”Wh,v, yes. oi course!” inwardly leaving his comment. on that, to him, very strange answer. To my rclici ali he said was "that's tunny". But by the way he said it I am not sure that he was vcry deeply im- pressed by my prolcslatloii of school (irintioii '

Explosives In The Graig

tl-'rom the London Economm;

The story of the proverbial gm, horse has always been Curiously incomplete. Like the ChFShlI'C eat it was all month and no body; and it. assumes that a horse must :1- ivays be an acct-plxibic present,

what happens if somebody n ceivcs an iiiinelcciitcd gift of g horse and the nninial kicks? Re. cently the Court of Appeal had to decide. In 1951 it Mr. and Mi-r, John Wilson had ordered coal and rcccived a l'l'agmcl'1t: of expiosi,-E -- according to the cool nlEl'(ll3ntA as ii gift -- along with it, Thev claimed Lhat they were entitled to recompense for the damage caused by the resultant explosion in the..-

grate.

The rnal incrchants disagreed Tlicv said that under the sale .( Goods Act. Lhr-y contracted M1,. to sell coal of I mcrchanlnblg

quality. and their liability must in limited to the commodity in which Lhcy dcalt. If. by chance, cxplo sites were lurluricd with ll. they must be in the nature of a gift. This linr of reasoning once con. vinced the Court. of Session in Scotland; but it. has now failed to carry with it the Court of Appeal in England.

It is no answer, Lord Justica Drnning said. to explain thnt there was nothing wrong with the coal no cool; there was I great denl wrong with the consignment Was there not the famous case at the solicitor wk: broke it tooth in R stone in a bun? Was not the stone. from tho point of View of ll.1l)llllV, it part of the bun? Tho conl merchants must pity.

The answer might be contempt of court lll Scotland, but p-rhapo Scottish hnusrholders would bl urll RdVls"(ll to nvdrr their cool south of the Tlordcz. or is that .'lClViCC in itself 5 slight on tho economic independence of the Northcrn Kingdom?
