PAGE FOLR THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1929 'Buy in Oshawa and Help Oshawa to Grow More Prosperous "Remote Island Tribesman Sell Wives; Practice ae ibatisml London.--A description of tribes which have been visited by only one white man and of natives who buy wives in exchange for pigs, practice cannibalism, wear no, clothes and are polygamous has been given to the Royal, Geographical Society by John R, Baker. ' Baker and his wife gave details of their experiences in the unex- ored section of the Northern New ebrides, in the western Pacific ocean, 1,630 miles a Australia, The Baker expedi¢fon was assist- ed by the Percy Sladen Memorial Fund, Most of Baker's time was spent on the islands of Espirito Santo and Gaua. In Sakau, he said, there are only seven white persons--none of them in the interior. There are five ranks in Sakau society and a man may rise fronr one rank to the next by dancing all night and killing a stipulated number of pigs. "Cannibalism still occurs, though rarely," Baker said. "Between my two visits a white man was killed in the southwest part of Espirito village called Tungwi, had not been previously visited by a white man, Baker found what must be some of the smallest human habitations in the world, Except for one house, all of the buildings were about as high as his shoulder, he sald. Baker and his wife visited Gaua Isand, where there were no white men. The party then ascended Tabwemasana Mountain, crossed the crest of a range of four moun- tains, which they named the Lini- supe-Arusasari range, and discov- ered another range which they named the North Pua range.

URGES TRAINING OF YOUNG PEOPLE FOR HAPPY MARRIAGES Education for Succesful Lives is Only Thing Says Rabbi Krass New York, N.Y, Feb, 6.<If the matrimonial bark is to weather stormy seas successfully, | young people must be trained and = cdu- cated for marriage, Rabbi Nathan Krass told his congregation recently, The reason the ratio of divorces to marriages is so high, is that our voung people know very little about marriage, he said. "We cducate them in everything, we have eollege courses in all things under the sun, but we do not teach them the real meaning of marriage, its lgvificance, its problems as well as its virtues he declared, "We must learn to train our young people for marriage. Before entering the bonds of matrimony, our young men and women must have received preparation in the art of saving, in the practice of making mutual sacri- fices, and must know how to iron out misunderstandings and clashes of temperament, | before or after marriage, The trouble is that young people entering mar- riage, inspired only by romantic love, forget that. Hence, they arc not ready for the disillusionment that must come in every life, and when it does come they hurry for a divorce, "With the right sort of training, they would know that occasional disillusionments are to be expected. They would know how to make mu- tual sacrifices, They would know how to adjust themselves to cach other. For one of the dangers of marriage is the effort to create a new temperament out of your part- ner. It can't be done, and even if it could be brought about, it wouldy be highly undesirable, Young people in marriage must be of the same cloth but not of the same pattern," Short vacations for both the hus- band and wife, a sort of sabbatical leave from marriage for a short period at a time, woutd be a very helpful "immunizing agent" against discontentment and ennui, Rabbi Krass said, Such vacations, he ex- plained, would give time to reflect about one's married life with the re- sult that on returning to the "matri- monial bark" a new point of view, a néw joy and a new vigor would be introduced into marriage.
