Two simple mud ovens Mlth ordinary firewood as fuel Mere used, and over the oven were put two large deghs; one for Bulgor Polao and the other for meat curry. All the officers and men present Mere served Mlth the prepared food and they declared that Bulgor was as tasty as rice and they liked It very much. Between the army and the civil police stands the East Pakistan rifles as a second line of defense (especially guarding the borders) in the pro vince. Of its 10.000 strong, over 70 are rice eaters and 30 wheat eaters. While tasting the cooked Bulgor one of the officers remarked that "Eating rice makes you feel heavy. One hour's hard labor and you are hungry again. For our 70 rice eating forces we were looking for some way to gradually get them away from the more pro tein giving wheat, and we see in Bulgor wheat the answer to our search for a full wheat rat ion for the forces." i r i f w -n ' w -v n. 3. rj THIS ISNT an astronaut or a Man from Mars but Charles Daly, brother of Wm.
