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

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-

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. Kacb Zulu guide wears
a pair of handcuffs strapped
to his waist, and is on the con-
! stant loos out for poachers.
A gun or cation of any
jkinel is et allowed In the re
i scrvifc not even to the guides.

UPI Scienc Editor
New York-IUPll-Thc newest
fruit of continuing scientific
investigation of "the placebo
effect" shows it can give re
lief to the worrying relatives
of ailing people as well as to
the ailing people themselves.
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. Clearly rubbing
has been helpful, whether it
was the rubbing alone or the
rubbing plus the medication
rubbed in or merely the "sug-
