Jamaican Life Described By Couple From Mehama By JEAN ROBERTS Vilify Corrripondrit MEHAMA Mr. and Mrs Lee Pinkslon. who rail Mehama their home, vacationed here from Ja maica the past week. Pinkslon, employed in a tuper Tisory. position by the Henry Kai ser Aluminum Co., has high praise for Kaiser's treatment of Jamaican aationals. According to Pinkston. there are three bif aluminum companies in Jamaica; Reynolds. Alcoa and Kai ser. Of the three only Henry Kaiser uses all native help except super visors. He trains cat skinners, truck drivers and foremen. Started A School Finding that his foremen could not even read the rules and regula tions, Kaiser started a school for them in July. After wortt, men are transported by company bus to school to learn reading and writ ing. People in Jamaica are poor, but wages are on the increase. Ave rage .hourly wage now is 49 cents an hour as compared to 18 cents three years ago, he said. Sold By The Penny 1 Th low rate of pay Is reflected in the stores where packages of cigarettes are opened and sold two for a penny. Breakfast cereals are also sold by the penny, with the purchaser bringing a dish and the merchant weighing the cereal. Merchants have no paper sacks or wrapping paper. When one pur chases meat in Jamaica they are handed the meat no wrapping. If one buys beans or eggs, the buyer must furnish a container or take them in her hands. All Have Servants Despite the fact that the island people are poor, everyone has ser vants. Some families even deny themselves food, so as to enable them to have servants. Labor however, is cheap. Mr. and Mrs. Pinkston employ a cook.' maid, cleaning woman and yard boy for $40 a month. Room and board is not included at least not intentionally. Jamaica, a colony of Great Brit ain, predominately uses English imports. Duty on any other import is so high as to be almost pro hibitive. To import an American car would cost half again the price of the car. Called "fhlld-Mke" "Jamaicans are a child like peo ple", says Pinkston. When the house boy washed the car he left the bucket silling in front of the car and it was run over and des troyed. When asked why he left it CONGRATULATIONS To Tidewater Oil Co. on "Hospitality Time" in Salem Warner-Patterson Co. ' Ridiitor Chemicils Las-Stik Manufacturing Co. Polishing Cloths and Wish Mitts .

Hi being rushed to completion at there he said, "No one told me to move it." Most Jamaicans are superstitious and afraid of ghosts, he said. Many of the houses are built with sharp points on the eaves. These !are "Duppie catchers". "Duppies" are ghosts of the dead. I Te Frtghln Chests I If there are no duppie catchers, the bouse is painted with a stripe I of blue paint to frighten the ghosts awiy. Or if paint is scarce, just a ' strip around the doorway will suf fice. Mr. and Mrs. Pinkston plan to stay in Jamaica several more years before they move home. They purchased property here known as the "old Bcringer place", when he was employed at Detroit Dam. He has recently had the house painted, but it does not have a stripe of blue around it.

'(Author's name below) Many people, who have never spent a day in t med ical university, foolishly be lieve that they can advise their friends how to treat n illness. They mean well, but can cause serious harm. The proper diagnosis of disease is in art that a Phy sician acquires onjy after years of study and intern ship training in a hospital. It is more important to treat the cause of an illness than to just relieve discomfort, which is usually the most any self treatment accom plishes. When you are sick be guided by your Physi cian.
