G. Cavell, Canadian Department of Trade and Commerce, said in a recent address. One-quarter of the whole world's population lives in the area known as South and Southeast Asia. Most of these people, about 430 million of them, belong to the British Com- monwealth, That is why in Janu- ary, 1950, the foreign ministers of the Commonwealth countries met at Colombo, the capital of Ceylon, to consider what could be done for this unfavored fourth of the world's inhabitants. This was the beginning of the Colombo Plan. Without the assistance of the United States it would have been imposible to undertake this plan, which calls for the investment of $5 billions over a six-year period. Almost half the money will come from the United States. Why was the Colombo Plan un- dertaken? "Because a free demo- cratic world cannot exist half fed and half starved." IN SECOND YEAR The Colombo Plan is now well into its second year and its effects are becoming apparent. Asia's destiny will not merge with ours. The free world we are trying to create must be broad enough in its concept to permit all cultures "to develop, in their own way, their own religions and phil- osophies to the full, consistent only with maintaining the ersonal free- doms of their peoples." "The Commonwealth has a great part to play in expanding and hold- ing together a free world. The fact that the Commonwealth has six times as many Asians in it as it has Westerners, shows clearly the great part it can play if only we can win their support and co-opera- tion. Without their support a con- tinuing Commonwealth is meaning- less and a fee world with real strength impossible of attain- ment."

Coud indigestion have been a con- tributing cause of death? "No," said Dr. Rowan, 'those other things wouldn't bother his constitution at all." Dr. Rowan recalled that at the London zoo he once saw four half crowns--about the size of a 50-cent piece--some keys, pebbles, nails and a prayer book taken from an ostrich's gizzard. If the Edmonton zoo buys another ostrich the bird may be put in a glass cage with a sign reading: "Please don't throw stones at this cage.

Their By JIM PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer To hear the Whitehorse Board of Trade tell it, the Yukon is one of North America's finest hunting and fishing lands. The record 76%- inch horn spread of the moose head destined for the Historical Society Museum at the Yukon capital lends emphasis to this claim. e fact is the Yukon is brim- full of almost virgin hunting rounds. Its forested, mountainous rrain offers ag wide selection of big game and it is believed its laws allow a greater take than any other part of Canada. The Yukon is noted for its dall, stone and fannin sheep, caribou, mountain goat, moose, grizzly and black and brown bear. Non-resi- dent Canadian hunters are allowed one each of mountain sheep, moun- tain goat, caribou and moose and one grizzly, all on a $100 licence for the big game season from Aug. 1 to Nov. 30. SPECIAL SEASON Besides, a special bear-hunting season from May .1 to June 30 al- lows a non-resident-Canadian two grizzlies and two black or brown bears on a $25 licence. Licence fees to non-resident aliens are $150 and $50. No trophy tax is charged, but Yukon game regulations state a big game hunter from the "out- side" must hire a recognized guide. One apparent reason for this is the fact the average hunter wouldn't likely know what to do if he sighted a herd of 100,000 caribou. (Them Kyar, director of fish and game for the Yukon, said recently that one herd of migratory cari- bou seen last summer was estima- ted to numbr 100,000 animals.) Territorial agent G. R. Bidlake of Whithorse says an average of 75 big game hunters visit the terri- tory annually. Whitehorse is the taking off point for Yukon hunting. Some grounds are easily accessible via the Alaska Highway. Others, where the hunting is best, are reached by horse, plane and truck. Sport fishermen will find the Yukon's unnumbered streams and lakes all but running over with rainbow trout, Arctic grayling, nor- thern pike and other fish. Like big Yukon Brim Full Of Virgin Hunting game, the Yukon offers a large variety and its angling laws allow a big catch. Grayling are numerous in prac- tically all Yukon streams; lake trout up to 40 pounds, pike white- fish and inconnu in the Yukon river; and rainbow trout in the Kathleen lakes along the Haines road. These fish, salmon trout, ickerel, goldeye and others, are ound throughout the Yukon, but the places mentioned are popular angling spots because they are easily reached from Whitehorse. The Kathleen lakes are about 80 miles northwest of Whitehorse over fine roads. The Yukon river runs through the city and streams and lakes where grayling are plentiful abound along the Alaska Highway. LONG 8 NS ,Standard gear is ample to take the possession quota of 20 fish. Seasons are long, for instance that on lake trout from Dec. Sept, 14 inclusive. Summer tem- peratures in the 60-to-70 range are warm enough for tent camping be- side the angler's favorite hole. And Yukon fishing licences cost only $2 for the non-resident, Cana- dian or alien. Among the Yukon's bird popula- tion are many types of grouse-- blue, ruffed, spruce, Franklin and sharptail--rock and willow ptarmi- gan geese, brant and ducks. In this case also, the Yukon offers variety and generosity in| bag limit. During the season which | runs from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31, a| hunter is allowed 100 ducks, seven | in one day.

Virtually without enemies except for man, these huge, herbivorous mammals are members of a fam- ily that was world wide in prehis- toric times. Now, however, only five species of rhinoceros' remain Some of the species are thought to number less than 100 living members. The great Indian rhinoceros with shieldlike folded skin and single nasal horn has been reduced, it is estimated, to several hundred in- dividuals living mostly in Assam and Nepal. The Javan rhinoceros also is vanishing, while the Sumat- ran rhino, smallest. of the five species, is believed to be reduced to some 50 animals. The two species of rhinos that inhabit Africa also are depicted. 10 The smooth-skinned black rhinoc- eros that ranges through much of the continent is diminishing in number, while white rhinoceros are nearly extinct. Rigid protec- tion, however, has only slightly in- creased the count of these pale gray monsters.

One of his pleasures is playing host to starlings that pick ticks off his back. The nasal horn from which the rhino gets his name is his principal weapon of defence. It is also one of the prime causes of his down- fall. For centuries this horn, ac- tually composed of compressed hair, has been credited with med- icina] properties. In China a pound of it is worth about $75. Oriental and European monarchs once used rhinoceros horn drinking cups in the belief such cups would counter- act poison. Not only has his valuable horn as well as his edible flsh and strong hide thinned the rhino's decide to change their customary grunts into a high sweet mating whistle, they must wander over great distances to find another rhinoceros. When a male finally finds a mate as likely as not she may reject him.

It is hard, however, to preserve an animal that is so valuable to poachers, so skittish and evil-tempered that it will charge a truck as well as a man, and so downright stupid.
