to say his degree of import ance or wealth and place of residence is gauged by his headdress and ikr devne recently returned from that country haa brought back with him examples of every type of cap or hat worn by the men of rakiatan if you read this column laat week you will know that ike was out there for seven months doing a soil survey for the pakistani government under the col ombo plan he had so many inte rs ing things to tell us about pakistan that we could not get them all nlo one column to we are going to tell you more this week a to continue about the cast ante warn by pakistani msn and ike baa brought borne a complete outfit the lower part of the costume consists of chillwar or wide white pants gathered at the waist and ankles and the upper part ia a chemise or long shirt of coloured material the headdress as we men honed above vanes with the provin res and the status of the lndiilual some of them are very elaborate and beautiful quite impressive in fact the women of pakistan wear satins of bright hucd materials on their feet the men commonly wear chaplies which are made with sturdy leather topa and whatever type of tread you wish when we talked to ike he was wearing a pair of chap- liea himself the other type of foot wear it called a cussaeh it has a pointed heel a high curled pointed toe and ia made of plain leather the women wear fancy cussachs made in bnght colours and fancy designs a great many of the people however both men and women go barefoot a thb pakistani pbofm6 are very friendly the toil turvey group were often treated to the best hospitality the pakislanian land owners could give it is somewhat of a feudal system there with a land owner living in a large white house with an inner courtyard and his vil lagers who are very often all inter related and related also to the land owner living in the mud hut clus tered around it the villagers work the fields giving a certain proportion of the crops to the landowner in pay ment for the use of the land but we started to tell you about the hos pitality use canadians received and thought you might like to hear what a typical pakislanian supper would be like when thb canadians were invited to dine at use land-oam- ers bouse it was a strictly stag affair the men tat around on a aort 1 of patio before cupper was served with the landownr and some of the more important relatives at a little distance the rest of use villagers con gregated to wateh the proceedings and in a email way take part in use occas ion through one or two relatives in the party who acted as interpreters telling then what the oovertauon was about the supper itself would usually consist of rice and unleavened wheat bread which looked something like pancake the main dish curried nteajt wntaliy cawdnmmnttaa or goat from sugar and flour with ttavonnnju wrrr awvrd or a awet nee or frrth fruit iakuun crow an abundance of tnrse their tanarnnxe wpc- fruit and orange are delkioua but their favourite fruit of all u the mango when in season dates and ban anas are also grown there and often served for dessert the group was well entertained by civic leaders and official circles as well and they also met great many missionaries in fact one of ike s pleasantest recollections ol pakistan u having thanksgiving dinner with a presbyterian missionary and his wife from the states who had been ser ing in pakistan for twentyeight years 0 when surveying in the coun try in pakistan they were really cut off from the rest of the world as far as news was concerned with no radio or newspaper to keep them ab reast of world events the little towns do sometimes have a moving picture theatre however where pakistani films arc shown these arc usually stones along the arabian nights line the villagers entertain themselves with music pakistani style in fact thry arc extremely fond of mibic in the larger cities of course the thcm tru do get the hnglish movies we mentioned last week that the men of the survey worked for ion pc nods and made trips into place of interest for short holidays the archaeological sites of llarappa and mahjdero held a particular fascination for ike they are world famous for having found evidence of human hab itation dating back to 1250 bc 0 we have a much clearer pic ture of pakistan tn every wa since talking with ike he of course u pnmanly interested in the land and its agricultural problems to put ft brieflv their biggest problem stems from the fact that the country is very and they have only 0 inch es of rainfall per year coupled also with the fact that the country stretch ing from the foothills of the ilimal yas and taking in the indus valley down to the arabian ea is flat to offset these conditions they have developed an amazing flood irrigation system itut the land has become wa terlogged because the alope is so gra dual to the sea that there is nowhere for the water to escape the whole of the indus valley is alluvial soil and very fertile produe- ing two crops a year in many areas the summer cropping season called the kharif produces mainly sugar cane cotton and rice in their win ter or rabi season they grow wheat millets called jowar the province of punjab meaning five rivers is the hreadhasket of pakistan 0 in thb mountains which fringe pakistan there live the col- ful nomadic tribes which migrate down to the plains in the fait they travel in hands with their leaders al though they hive s reputation for be ing fierce and do tually often car ry guns ike found them quite interest ing and always eoonerative on the farms of pakutan the mtihods of work are still very erode they have bullocks to draw the wood en plows and most of the other farm lmpleuenu are made of wood the grain la still cnt by hand the wom en of uivillaa do much of the work in the balthubo theynatorallynau and do nc4 follow the old cnatom of vrdan or covering the face it la mottly the ffiddla elaa- woolen wbd itfe rtdridw to tlatfffliatouv jaw going on under the colombo plan so that in all there was a party of forty canadians and americans in ike s case and also in the case of the other party we imagine the survey contrac ted for b a private company will show exactly whst conditions are there and the pakistajilans can work on it from there the survey itself will show where they csn best direct their resources and further develop ment but the canadian group makes no actual recommendations it will be several weeks yet before the sur vey maps arc completed in toronto tokomto man wins lucky bond draw a toronto nun won sao in draw
