Vivid Impressions of West Africa Trader a Joseph Denny Last Friday evening the Port Perry Lions were{avoured by the alluring story of a trader in West Africa, Rev. W. R. Tristram who now serves the Seagrave Appointment, spent several years in that part of Africa and his audience were spell bound by his fasci- nating experiences. These far-away places are becoming more and more valuable because of the vegetation they now produce. For in- stance Palmolive kernels are now be- ing made into fats of various, de- scriptions. To see 'the material at first -it closely resembles wagon fats for it has wagon oil odour. Palmolive soap is now produced from it. This is interesting also to Canadians for the kernels are imported here, crushed and rendered into very many valuable articles of commerce. For that reason the British Isles are also well supplied with those fats of which other parts of Europe are so sadly lacking. Peanuts are also grown -in- West Africa in great abundance. Hundreds of thousands. of tons are shipped to France and are there ground and ex- ported as olive oil, but in reality the oil is madé of peanuts. ; Shea nuts are also grown there very profusely. and are made into mar- garine.-.' This material. "is greatly valued in Britain and the market there for margarine is very important. This margarine is very beneficial for food and it can easily be produced to sell at 12¢. a pound while butter costs over 30¢, per pound, The speaker wondered why Canada does not allow importa- tion of this valuable article of food and An amateur program will be held in] ¥ Y though he has his doubts, A family . man woyld welcome it greatly if the tariff bars were lowered. Castor seeds are grown there abun- dantly and made into castor oil. The natives in West Africa are con- trolled by their various chieftains, They do not dare to be individualists, If anyone of 'them should dare to be individualistic and act on his own he would be tabooed and would in con- sequence be in danger of his life. . One of the natives, a little more dar- ing than the rest did begin to grow cocoa and when he got real gold for his product the whole community be- came cocoa conscious and it now pro- duces half of the cocoa that is used. The cocoa is constantly improving in quality, but its: manufacture is being" _ done in Europe where it is shipped as no manufacture of the product is car- ried on in- Africa. Wives are bought in West Africa on the instalment plan just as one would purchase a stove here. The women work in the fields twelve hours a day from 6 to 6 and after their labours in , the field are ended the meals for the family are prepared. This accounts 'for the poverty.tand ill-health of the community and not a very great per- centage 61 the population live-over the age of six years. Yet the black mothers love their offspring just as passionately as do white mothers and weep and mourn for the loss of their children.. Pp Rl ' Mr. Tristram spent most of his Africa sojourn near the equator and so true do the hours of light and darkness come that the time to set their timd- pieces'is either at sunset or dawn. Traders are sent out by their var- ious firms and the contract is usually made for 12 months. Three months being allowed for the going and com- ing to the destination. ; Good cotton can be grown in Africa but the labour market there is very" unreliable for the bare necessities of life cost next to nothing-and -the labourers only work when they need something extra. - te There are no large animals on the West coast of Africa such as horses and cattle, on account of 'the sleeping =~ sickness. : They have their law courts there as we do here, but the territory is largely French and the natives are not im--~ pressed favourably by the justice of the authorities, they know that if they claim British nationality they are sure ; of a square deal and so when they get into any kind of scrap they do not hestitate to say they are British. . The colqur varies in the people. They wear little or no clothing because of their poverty, and this poverty be- . comes more and more apparent the 1 . farther one travells inland. = a a Clothes are imported, chiefly misfits, and second hand, to trade for various articles of commerce. Ta be attired in some article of clothing is a mark of distinction, the sex for which the article was originally intended makes no difference, so long as one can pro- cure it. The speaker told of a tertain chieftain there who had been fortunate enough to procure a silk hat and a Prince Albert, These were his only LJ articles of clothing, he also carried an © umbrella. Thus attired he strutted up and down the main street to the envy and admiration of all. He considered he was fitted out in the height of fashion and this had a profound Im- pression on his sul i , The natives are under the influence and control of their witch doctors and for that reason local help is not de- sirable if at all possible, and conse- quently not 'employed.' Needed labour is procured from some fat away point usually.
