0 T T A W A-Brigadier Geoffrey Walsh is a. husky six-footer who has made the Army his career since he graduated from Royal Military College 21 years ago. I-Ie's rated as one of the keenest military minds in the service. This was undoubtedly a big factor in his selection, at the age of 41, to command the new 27th Canadian Infantry Brigade group, which will form part of the NATO army in Europe.

At the end of World War II, Walsh was chief Engineer of the first Canadian Army. A colonel who served under him describes him as "very, very sound-the kind of officer who thinks things out quickly and thoroughly."

In that, and in other ways too, Walsh is remarkably like Brigadier J. M. Rockingham,'who commands the 25th Infantry Brigade Group in Korea. In preparing his men for service in Korea, Rockingham was it stickler for proper training. Walsh is too. He sets a high stand- ard for his men, but he never asks the impossible. or more than he will do himself.

Legends have grown around this limky, long-nosed engineering of- ficer who led Canadians in the famous raid on Spitzbergen, won the D.S.O. for coolly building 3 bridge in Italy under enemy fire, and developed the techniques of handling "storm boats" for assault landings. It was by using these boats the way Walsh suggested that Canadian troops rescued 1200 survivors of the British 6th Alr- bornc Division at Arnhelm.

Walsh doesn't miss much. For example, when he was command- ing troops maintaining the Alaska Highway. he and a fellow officer drove past a steel truss bridge be- mg prepared for installation. Their jeep was rolling right along, but a glimpse was enough to tell Walsh that the bridge rockers had been installed incorrectly. The other officer couldn't believe him. so may went back for a. second look. Sure enough, Walsh was right.

The Alaska Highway was his toughest post-war job, When he took over from U. S. Army engin- cars the task of maintaining this 1200 mile long road in the sub- Arctic wilderness, he first had to build an organization to do the job. Much of the road mainten- ance equipment was worn out. Floods continually destroyed large sections of roads. And the high- way had to be kept open all win- tcr, in spite of temperatures as low as 84 degrees below zero.

When Walsh enters a room full of officers, he brings with him such personal magnetism and force of character that everyone soon is conscious of his presence. without seeking to do so. he dominates the gathering.

He's a hard taskmaslcr. but he drives no one harder than him-

Strange But True

3; I'-til. MacArthur Cattle, like all creatures in- timately associated with man, 1

have played a large part in folk- lore, hersedy and religious beliefs. The ox, for example, is associated with st. Luke. In some lands do- mestic cattle are still held in the greatest veneratlon. In India. cat- tie are privileged creatures. being allowed to plunge crops and room the public street at will.

One of the world's rarest crea- tures is the gray-necked plcathar- tes, discovered by C. S. Webb in Africa in 1948. This unique bird is so rare that not more than half a dozen white men have ever set eyes upon it. There are two species of this extraordinary creature, but very little is known about them. The yellow-necked picatharies was first discovered on the Gold Coast, but has not been seen for almost a. century.

We are inclined to look upon the scalp-lifting American Indian as a blood thirsty rascal scarcely fit to live. But. the writers of these blood-curdling stories scarcely i ever draw our attention to ihel white settlers' flair for lifting: scalps from the domes of lndianl men, women and children.

It seems to be a well established fact that the American settlers took more Indian scalps. all toldw than the Redmen ever lifted from the heads for whites; white men were permitted by law, to wipe out the whole Indian race. Even houn-

the early pioneer days, so that scalp hunting became quite a paying game. for the American settler especially New England. And, believe it or not, a warriors scalp brought more money than a prime beaver skin.

In 1722 Massachusetts authori- ties placed a bounty of 37-5 on every Indian scalp. Later the price was pushed up to S400. Thus it may be seen that fire water was not wholly responsible for high death toll among the North American lndians. Under date of

self. 1-iis officers tell of his going two and three days without sleep. when things were sticky during the war. He's credited with an am- azing ability to size up situations and arrive at the correct solutions. I-lis troops swear by him, confident of both his ability and his fair- ncss. If anyone pulls is boner. Walsh lets him know in strong Army terms. Conversely, if credit is due, Walsh gives it.

Most people don't realize the en- gineers are a fighting corps. Often they work under fire, and often Walsh has been under fire with them. for he's no desk officer. He's a fighting man, and by all indica- tions an excellent choice to com- mand the Canadians who will serve

under General Eisenhower.

ties were paid on Indian scalps in'

early , in i

the i

August 22. 1122, Jeremiah Bus- terd of Boston recorded: "This day: twenty-eight Indian scalpsi

brought to Boston, one of which was Bombasenh (a Christian Mis- sion Indian) and one, Friar Rasle's"

It mattered not whether the scalps were those of men, women, or children, except that a slightly higher price was paid for men's.

Indeed it was the white man who spread the practice among many of the eastern Indians of North America, for, prior to the arrival of the whites, the only tribes on the continent that lifted scalps were the Iroquois, Crees, Chlckasaws, Muskohegans and Choctaws.

During the Revolutionary War. both the British and Americans paid bdunties on scalps of their enemies, whether Indian or white. Think of it!

Canned rattlesnake is a dish in many leading restaurants in the United States. In 1942, I visited a large cannery in Florida and was informed by its manager that he found it difficult to sup- ply enough 1-nttlesnakes to meet the ever increasing demand. Then he went into a. long-winded talk about the quality of snake food: the white flesh, it's freedom from bones and grlslle, it's excellent flavor, eic., yet it did not appeal to me in the least.

Once, however, I dined on alli- gator's tail and thought I had eaten halibut steak, as it tasted the same.

The Bible did not place much faith in astrology, for we read in Isaiah: 4'7: 13-14 - "Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers,

Again, we read in Daniel 1: 19- 20 - "But the king communed with them; and among them all was found more like Daniel, Han- aniah, Mishael and Azariah. Therefore, they stood before the king, and in all matters.of wisdom and understanding, that the king required of them, he found them ten times better than all the ma- giclans and astrologers that were in all his realm."

According to the scriptures. Rehoboam was quite I man with the ladies. In second chronicles 11:21, we read - i'And Rehlbolm

. . . took 18 wives and three score concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daugh- ters."

The Good Book also has some- thing to say about women wear- ing men's clothes and vice versa. You'll find the little story in Deu- teronomy 22: 5 "The woman shall not wear that which per- taineth unto man, neither shall a man put on B. woman's garment. and all that do so are an abomin- ation unto the Lord, thy God."

The charlvari so common at Is- land weddings, where crowds gather and make a lot of noise with horns, kettles, etc.. is a. cut- ious custom dating back to the days of Paganism. Just why we still cling to such an old custom is hard to understand.
