(UP1) Trip into Zululand Reviewed; Americans Visit Game Reserve (Editor's noti This Is an other In a series of articles by Luke Lunge, former Medford resident who is on an around-lhe-world cruise aboard the freighter, SS Friesland. Today's article concerns his safari info Zu ";;land and a visit lo an Af rican game reserve.) By LUKE LANGE The terrain in Zululand Is mostly hills. In fact, a large part of it is called the Valley of 1,0(10 Hills. Now and then there Is a river and some tlftl bottom land. Invarlahly this land is occupied by a Dutchman with a large fertile plantnllon ana a modern home. He raises sugar cane or Sisnl and ba nanas and coconuts. As soon as you leave the bottom land and enter another section of rocks and hills, there are more Zulu villages. If the native has good land, he will not raise anything; all he knows is how many cattle he can graze, He only raises enough maize to feed the fam ily in the dranl, and would not grow nnthing to sell even if the land were suitable. Few Whites In Area There are few whites, or Europeans, as all whiles are called in Africa, In the Zulu country. One day, aflrr driving near ly 10 hours, we met another car driven by a Dutchman. Ho gave us advice on how to ford the river ahead of us. These English and Dutch Africans- are reticent, and no mat ter how curious they are to sit Americans out In the bush Ihev are loo shy lo visit or cany on a conversation. They will answer questions and give directions. Driving through this coun try can he dangerous because the mad is not as good as one o( our third rale logging roads 11 will disapiwar into a river in,l come up in the other side, 11 it rains and the river comes up you are stranded until Ihe water goes down; if it is Ihe rainy season, which is Just stalling here. 1 don't know how long you would be there. No Water or Food There is no water fil to drink and no food If you were in this kind of trouble and found a native to send for help, you might get more than you bargained for be cause of the present trouble throughout Africa between white and black. The only de terrent to killing and robbing a while is whether the na tives think they can get away with it. It would be Impossible to walk far in this heat with no water, and rather than take off on foot through the hills, which abound with cobra and green and black mambas, the only alternative would be to stay near your car and hope a European planter might ap pear. A large game reserve bor ders the northern end of Zu luland and we headed for that. Near one village, a group of Zulu men were painted up and carried shields and spears. They were walking to the neighboring village, about four miles away, for some kind of Zulu celebration. They did not want their pic tures taken, and when 1 snap ped one anway, they threw rocks at the car, and we had lo leave in a hurry. At Game Reserve We arrived at the game re served and were put up in a Zulu hut. The huts for visitors arc built exactly the same as the native huts, but have con crete floors, mosquito netting over Ihe cots and are clean. A cook boy who gets break fust is provided and a Zulu guide is assigned to go through the reserve. Daylight is the best time to see the game, so Ihe guide awakens you at 4 HO am The cost of going through these reserves is little or noth ing, making them the host buy in Africa. The entrance fee is 35 cents per person. The Zulu guide costs $1.40 for a full day. The cook boy costs 70 cents and he prepares break fast, lunch and dinner. You furnish your own food. The management is by the govern ment that is running the coun try at the time, and this one was under British administra tion. Instructions are given be fore starting through the re serve. The first rule is not to get out of the car under any conditions, either with or without a guide. A form is signed releasing the reserve management of any responsi bility, for any accident, no matter how caused. You also agree to bring the Zulu back to the same end of the reserve that you started from. Requested Not To Tip You are requested not to lip the Zulu guides or cook boys since they are already paid about one-and-one-half times what the native laborer makes in other lines of work in addition to being furnished a uniform. This cotton uni form of licrnuida shorts, jac ket to match, tic and walking boots- and socks, goes to the Zulu's head, and I think guides would work for the un ilorm and board and room. The British ranger explain ed Ihe reason for no tips; 50 cents or $1 a day for a short period of lime would make a Zulu wealthy, and the re serve would soon lose his ser vices. When the park closed for the rainy season and Zu lus returned to their villages, they would be wealthier than Ihe chiefs, thereby disrupting his authority and upset Ihe economy in the Zulu area. The Zulu guide has been taught a few words of Kng- FAT OVERWEIGHT Many Newspapers Using Microfilm To Keep Back Files AveiUhle to sou wttbout dviv P'fscnpt'OO, mir drug called ODRI NtX.

Microfilm Used The chances are good thai anyone Interested enough to check up on July 4 celebra tions of ;t!V and 40 years ago in the files of his local news paper may find that Ihey are preserved in microfilm, notes James M. Arnold, president o f Recordak Corporation, leading producer of this method of keeping records More than 4,000 newspap ers in the United States and abroad keen their back flle bv this method, Arnold noted recently, and it is merely one of the many uses for micro film which base liren found since it was introduced, primarily for the banking field, in the late lfli!0s. The records kepi on micro film include such items of personal importance to Amer icans as bunk checks, social security records. property titles, Insurance policies, birth certificates and school records. Income las. returns are kept on microfilm in some cases. Use of the film file system for documents has grown as Ihe economic structure of the nation has grown more com plex, and Arnold cited some government operations as il lustrative of the trend. At Baltimore. Ihe Social Security Administration has to keep records of 1:18 million persons registered under So cial Security. It has produced more than 500,000 rolls of microfilm to do this. Given a name and birth dale, Social Security could produce a Social Security number of an Individual in less than 30 seconds. Recor dak claims. , Canada Dry GRAPEFRUIT DRINK LEO'S SLICED MEAT lish and with a little common sense, a lot of arm waving and Imagination, a form of under standing can be accomplished The name of this particular reserve in South Africa is Hluhluwe. In comparison with other African reserves, Hluh luwe Is considered small in area. By our standards it would seem quite large. The Amount of Area For an idea of its size, vis ualize a line from Medford lo Klamath Falls to Weed, Calif., and draw a circle around it. That is about the amount of area it covers. I think most Americans have the same idea about an African game reserve as we did, until we saw one-something like a zoo, only fenced, and semi-lamed animals run ning loose instead of in cages. It could be described as something like a duck and goose reserve such as at Tule lake. The birds are wild, but flock to the reserve apparent ly sensing the protection there. They do filler off into the surrounding country, and not all of the birds are in the reserve. It is the same here only Ihey have animals instead of birds. They sense the protec lion of the reserve, but they do travel many miles from the reserve itself, and in some cases drift into a town or village. Old Lions Hunted Often an old lion which cannot hunt for food or be comes too slow to catch game, will become a man eater. Then professional hunters fur nished by the government will hunt him down. Or a bull elephant on the rampage will Invade a village and wreck everything in sight. All the natives can do is run because they have nothing but spears and knives, and have no chance against an elephant with these weapons. Five or six Zulus will, how ever, tackle a lion or a buffa lo with nothing but spears and do a pretty good job. They lose a lot of Zulus, but they kill a lot of game. The warden said the big gest hazard to the continued existence o( game reserves in Africa is the native poachers. They resent the amount of grass animals eat because it cuts down the number of cat lie which can be grazed. They will kill any thing wild if they can get away with it Slaughter Elephentt Years ago, Arab and white ivory hunters slaughtered thousands of elephants for the tusks, and would have exter minated them completely if they had not been stopped; but today, the natives, who have little or no meat, are the biggest threat to African game.

The four Investigative sci entists were impressed by mu tual benefits resulting from a husband rubbtng a salves Into the lame back of his mate According to highly scientific medicine there should have been none. The salve merely was a per fumed grease, containing no medicine. The ailment was degenerative arthritis involv ing the spinal column. Much scientific opinion holds that nothing applied to the skin can reach it. And why should the unailing male be bene fitted by his rubbing? Something Positive This question Drs. Eugene F. Traut, H. Paul Carstens, Chester B. Thrift and Harriet M. Clark could answer read ily. Rubbing something Into the skin "has a satisfying sense of doing something posi tive," whether you rub your own skin or the mate's, they Ki lt seemed to them scientific medicine could relax Its view that salves and liniments are not too effective for rheuma toid disease because thoy are applied to the surface and the troubles are Interior. "Cer tainly," they said, "the place bo factor of liniment benefits deserves frank regognltlon." "Placebo" is a medical word applied to any treatment pre scribed without a real reason for thinking it will work but only to please the patient. In recent years scientific medi cine has been closely investi- placebo" really works. Dis covering their numbers are legion. The scientists investigated patients of the Cook county (Chicago) arthritis clinic. They selected 146 women who bene fitted from a "placebo" in the form of chemically blank pills and then from a "place bo" which was injected into them by needle. This made t evtdem. the 146 had "suggesu MHty." Each week they were given a small tube of salve. One week the tube was marked "A," the next it was "B." The salve in each was per fumed and the two looked identical, but "B" was medi cated and "A" was not. Condition! Improved Daily the patients rubbed a salve into the skin over the aching part of their bodies or had it rubbed In by hus bands if they couldn't reach It. Of the 148. 142 considered they had been benefited by this treatment, whether with "A" or with "B," and rhcuma tologlsts not involved In the Investigation found their con ditions Improved. In their report lo the Il linois medical society, the in vestigators remarked that "It is instinctive to apply the hand to a painful part of the body and then to move the hand over the painful area, thus performing massage." Everyone knows the bene fits of massage, they added. It increases circulation and thus lessens pain. And salves and liniments have been rubbed ink the skin for thousands of years In the hope of reaching interior ails.

People receive a letter from the Great Southwestern Uind company, Inc., Dallas, Tex., according to the Portland BBB. The letter states the person has been "awarded" a one quarter acre building lot in either Tres Pledras es tates or Carson estates, both located in Taos county. N. M. The farm letter is sent by certified mail, Ihe bureau said. The award of a lot Is "tree" with the payment of $40.30 to cover engineering and closing costs. Residents have been warn ed by the bureau to beware of purchasing land sight un seen. The particular lots are 29 miles from the nearest rail road and 24 miles from the nearest airport, Don McNeil, manager of the luemora Chamber of Commerce, not ed. The local chamber is af filiated with the Better Busi ness bureau. Present Information also Indicates that water has not yet been found, although the promoters apparently plan to drill community type systems up to 800 feet deep. Cost of individual wells Is estimated at between $500 and $750. McNeil mentioned that any one wishing to buy real estate In undeveloped areas should Investigate before buying.
