Where Doctors Have It Tough Doctors working among the colourful blanket-wearing Ban- tu tribesmen have a much harder task than Western practitioners to inspire confidence in their patients. For these tribes, as Dr. Nkama pointed out recently to the South African Institute of Race Relations, are obsessed by weird and almost ineradicable superstitions. For instance, a man with ac- tive T.B, believes that a bird Has entered his chest. Whenever it flutters, he feels he must wriggle in discomfort. He is convinced that no relief can be gained until the bird flies away. Such ideas make modern cura- tive. methods very difficult to carry out. a Victims of pellagra quite openly attribute the disease in black magic. They believe that when they're delirious it's some dire punishment working inside them. Because of this primitive conviction, they refuse to eat the food that would cure them. A great deal of Bantu illness could be averted if the tribes would only reform their ancient feeding habits. Because of tribal custom, only" women and children are allow- ed to eat vegetables. Starved ot vital vitamins, the men are thus exposed to killing diseases. This dietary discrimination pro- bably explains why Bantu women are tough and extremely hard workers. A man working in a factory got his coat caught in a revolv- mg wheel. He was whisked up and whirled round and round till the foreman managed to switch off the machine. The workman fell to the ground and up rushed the foreman. "Speak to me, speak to me," he entreated. "Why should I?" said the workman. "I passed you six times just now and you didn't speak to me!" CHIPPER AT 81 -- Looking trim and chic at 81, famed opera singer Mary Garden waves a "greeting on the Champs Elysees In Paris. Darling of opera fans a generation ago, she has just given her approval to the film- ing of her life story. Reputations And Jobs At Stake By DICK KLEINE NEA Staft Correspondent NEW YORK -- Chet Huntley, NBC:TV's newscaster flew "to Paris to interview de Gaulle's minister of information, Jacques Soustelle. And, after they ex- changed hellos, the: first thing Soustelle said was: "Tell me, M. Huntley, what's happening to those quiz shows In America?" : That," as they used to say in the old days, is the $64 ques- tion. It's a question that carries an answer worth millions -- in salaries to quiz show employees, fees to quiz show producers, commissions to quiz show ad- vertising agencies, - profits (or losses) to quiz show sponsors. Since "Dotto" lost its spots, the fat quiz show industry has been shaking on the edge of disaster. Its leaders are watch- ing the ratings with the eye of a sick man reading a thermo- meter, If it seems that the pub- lic has lost faith and interest in the quizzes, they'll be through. If, on the other hand, the pub- lic seems to be willing to for- give and forget, the quizzes will continue, In the quiz show factories, producers and others await their fate with a mixture of anger, stunned silence and confusion. They don't seem to know, what hit them. Some will tell you, with bra- vado: "This is a nine-day won- der--it'll blow over." Others try to fight back, talk- ing about the quiz-show accusers as '"blackmailers" and the inves- tigating New York district at- torney, Frank Hogan, as a "po- litical opportunist" -- he's run- ning for the Senate this year. And some just shrug their shoulders and say, philosophi- o WIN ELLIOTT. "The thought never passed through my mind." cally, "For a year or so, any quiz show firm would be wise to diversify." ' Many of them feel that they have been trapped into this grim position by accident. They all . profess innocence of rigging or otherwise influencing the out- come of their shows, of course, and claim that anybody who did rig a show was just plain stupid. "What's to gain rigging a show," one. producer says, "com- pared with what's to lose? So you keep a popular contestant on for another week--in the long run, it isn't any one contestant who makes a show a success or not, it's the cumulative impact of a lot of contestants." Over at "The $64,000 Ques- tion," the first and most popu- lar for a long time, they claim they've lost many potentially popular contestants on the very first question. There was Ran- dolph Churchill, who flubbed right at the beginning and a par- doned murderer who was mak- ing "terrific copy" but bowed out at $8,000. And, they say, they had one very "dull" contestant who went all the way. To them, that's proof that not only didn't they rig their show, but they didn't even try to con- trol the contestants. They put their faith, they insist, in pick- ing out the best contestants pos- sible before the show goes on the air, Others echo that sentiment. "Rig my show?" says' "Win With a Winner's" Win Elliott. "The thought never passed through my mind. Maybe my mother brought me up right, but it just never occurred to me. And it hurt us that we didn't have a contestant hang on long enough for the public to get 'to know him." > So they all claim to have been clean as amateur tiddley-winks. Consequently, they're : unhappy over somebody else's sin settling grimly on their shoulders, "A great many of us," says Joe Cates, onetime "$64,000 Ques- tion" producer, now handling "Haggis-Baggis,"" 'are unfortu- nately affected by all this. For one thing, the climate for selling a show Is very bad, And hun- dreds of people will be unem- ployed --- when they look for work, there'll be a lot of feeling against them, just because they once worked for a quiz show. - - gina.

The reason? Well, we have another addition to the family. The ad- dition is "Taffy," a five months old Welsh Corgi. He arrived yesterday, much to the surprise of Ditto, who, until then had been the only member of our pet family. For the first hour or two her hair bristled like a hedgehog but she has now reached the point where she is half on guard and half anxious to play. Taffy wants to play too but already he has learnt to keep a discreet distance. It means that every once in a while we have a sort of proces~ sion through the house--Taffy in the lead, Ditto trailing him and I bringing up the rear making sure that Taffy doesn't get his eyes scratched out. Partner comes in for his share too, going out last thing at night and get- ting up earlier than usual this morning to take Taffy out on a lead. It's 'a great life if you don't weaken but in the early stages it can be a bit hectic. Hectic . . . we should be get- ting used to it by now. We have had quite a week.

By Tuesday it was rented, occupancy to take place the following Friday. You can imagine what a busy time the young wife had getting everything ready for her long drive west, plus the care of her sixteen-months-old daughter, who naturally got into more mischief than at any other time. They finally got away Friday after- noon and the new tenants ar- rived about midnight after driv- ing from Montreal. Isn't it the limit the way people get around these days? 'any quiz show." Steve Carlin, who's been as- sociated with many quizzes, says he "feels like 'a guy defending a fort with a.B-B gun)" But they are beginning to fight back. The experience of Jack Barry and Dan Enright in turn- ing around and accusing their accuser, has- sparked their at- tack. Many quiz show officials say that the crux of the whole problem is "disgruntled ex- employees 'and sorehead losing contestants," and from now pn they'll take steps to see that there are witnesses at évery stage of their operations. But they're privately afraid that "from now on" may be too late. The future, for quiz shows, is right now. - Next day we were doing what we could: to help neighbours across the road who were mov- ing to a newly built home on another street. We all had more work than we expected. The * moving van was supposed to arrive at one. It didn't show up until five o'clock and' then one man walked off the job--said it was quitting time anyway.

There it stayed until hauled over here. Believe me, it was no small job. Getting it off and on the truck was the worst as each slab 'weighed at least 500 - pounds, The first slab broke in half diagonally as it was low- ered from the truck. Then I ran to the house and got cushions to prevent 7 further break- age. By the time the job was finished Partner felt as if he had - already done a day's work .-... and then came that moving job for our neighbours, It never rains but it pours, Speaking of rain, we had our share of that terrific storm that did so much damage at Bolton. Here, however, it did more good than harm -- and drove away that awful hot, sticky weather. It was just after the storm that Taffy arrived and we have been on the go ever since. At the moment there is peace in the family, Ditto. is in her usual place on the chesterfield; | Taffy is asleep on the front door mat and Partner is away mowing the lawn for some friends holidaying in Europe. And now this is fin- ished I'm going to call it a day. They Don't Worry About Dates If you happen to be a calen- dar manufacturer, you've got a good market possibility in some villages high in the mountains of northern Luzon, in the Philli- pines, The Igorots in this re- gion, evidently a rather vague people, don't bother too much about numbers, They don't reckon their own ages, never know how long it's been since Aunt Mary fell down the well, and can never remember. which child was born first.
