Take the case of the two bro- thers who were united in Sydney through a dispute in a taxi after having mot seen each other for thirty-one years. Edward Bell and Robert Bell, Scotsmen, had lost track of each other before the first world war and neither had the least idea where the other lived. Edward Bell, who had been farming in‘Queensland. went to Sydney and hailed a taxi to take him to a certain hotel, where he had stayed some years earlier. In George Street he felt sure he was going the wrong way He declared _ incorrectly-that the hotel was in Elizabeth Street. The pair argued. The driver asked his passenger to show him his t00m ticket to see it the ad- drewo! the hotel was on it. When he examined it he found that the passenger was his bro- ther. For ten years Larry Dolinski, of the US Merchant Marine, had lost track of three of his sisters.

At the same moment a passemzer jumped up and embraced her. The stranger proved to be her younger brother who had been missing for forty-one years.

It was then that he found them.

"All the geisha houses look like that." explained his guide, Nakomura, boss of the "White Chrysanthe- mum," one of Tokyo’: largest geisha unions. "There is always a pme tree and a black fence" Eskelund asked: "Don't the girls get ttpsy? "No." Nakomura replied. "A geisha knows how to make the customer drunk but stay sober herself - when you aren't looking she'll pour away her saki."

Her Kimono was apricot, with blue, yellow and black patterns. She knelt to greet them, then sat down next to Eskelund. smilrd, and ruled his glass. Her name was Aikoiu, "Guess how old she is," said Nukomura. "Thirty-five," he guessed. "Add eighteen, thtm you'll be right." Nakomura cor- rested, adding that the oldest girl in the umon. and one of the most pupular, was fitfy-eight. A good geisha never speaks except when spoken to, Eske- lund states in a delightful ac- count of his recent visit to Ja- pan - "The Emperor's New Clothes" -- she's ready to dis- cuss anything. "Of course we learn that the men are always right." Aikofu said, smiling. 1 Fewer Doe Collars a 120 392 dog collars were made ;in 1953 n: mmnpred with 141,- i080 in the preceding year.

Later she became a "White Chrysanthemum" tree- "But it isn't like that any more," Nakomura interposed The Americans made new lawn forbidding the training of girls before eighteen, so it had been reduced to four years, and they had only to work four years to pay off their debt to the owner of the house. Buying clothes for an appren- tice was terribly expensive now, and she needed at least twelve different outfits, one for each month of the year. lance, Asked how she spent her day, Aikofu said she took lessons in tea ceremony and flower ar- rangement every morning, for "a geisha can never learn enough." In the afternoon she read the paper and went to the movies, since she had to know what peo- ple were talking about. . _ It took her two hours to pre- nare her dress and make-up Mr the evening. She seldom went to bed before the small hours. and around the Japanese New Year. her busiest time, usually worked until dawn. "I love mv wryrit- it ir; my art. my whole life." she said. Later.

At forty-three. with raucous voice, broken nose, red face, thick eyelids, low, deeply tur. rowed forehead, he looked much older. But his great body had muscular reserves. despite all the drink. He still wanted to do something useful, so went along the Abbe Pierre's house called Emmaus in a Paris suburb and asked for work. CHANGE OF 'ACE-Gerry- H.

Another who found refuge at Emmaus was an ex-convict, Bastien. An orphan at fifteen, he lived with his uncle near the Belgian border, on land he would inherit when he came of age. He loved a Gravelines girl. Lucse; walked the windy dunes with her on summer evenings; wanted to marry her. Then the old uncle married a vulgar, stingy widow with two sons. They hated Bastien because one day he would own the estate, and wanted to get him out of the way. All their gossip and mischief-making were aimed at provoking a quarrel between the young couple.

By sheer chance the proprietor came in in the nick of time and rang up the Abbe, whom he knew, who rushed over and offered BIstien refuge. One day a rafter fell, and the woman saili it was an attempt at murder.

His brothers. who had got rich on the black market during the Occupation, said, "You ghould have done what we did." He smashed all the crockery, went off to Paris, ran. through his bonus, became a down-and-out with but one way of escape: suicide. A woman in the Red Cross gave him the Abbe's name. . . . "But now I know that war is the greatest evil." he said. "Liv, mg near him perhaps I can still learn to do something useful, to build instead of destroying . . -" Inspiring -indeed is Boris Simon's account of all this in "Abbe Pierre and the Ragpick- ers" (Harvill Press, 155.), ably translated by Lucie Noel. To help his scheme of rehabilia- tion, the Abbe organized rag- pickers to comb the dustbins, dumps, sewers-and he sold the salvage. He bought land, put up more huts until he could house 180 families who had been evicted from overcrowded rooms. To get money he begged in the streets, worked in I circus. took part in a double-or-quits radio quiz and won EMO. Once when money ran out tor cheap flats he was building he exchanged his car for an ancient, high. built relic with 'poked wheels and trailer. It emitted a senstv tion whenever he parked m the courtyard of the National As- sembly. During a bitter January night of 1954, when the Council of the French Government had just re. jected a bill demanding funds for emergency housing ot the poor, a three-months-old baby died of cold in an abandoned shell of a Paris bus. The Abbe at once drew attention to it by writing the Minister of Recon- struction an indignant letter, in- viting him to attend the child', funeral. Unprecedented though it was, the Minister came, followed the coffin on foot, and decided then and there that the Government should intervene. .At its next session the Council allotted funds for building several emergency centres.

All France responded. A Champs-Elysees hotel offered him office space and store- rooms. The police opened up to the destitute warm subways, police stations and railway ter. minals utter hours.

Last year he received E400.000 for his cumpalm for homes for the poor. Three weeks later the Abbe found men sleeping in the open, huddled in doorways. under bridges, over Underground vents. trying to keep warm on an icy night ten degrees below zero. Helped by his ragpiekers, he pitched a tent on an empty site in the heart of Paris. then launched a heart-rending appeal on the radio, saying: "Last night we found a woman who had died of exposure holding evic- tion papers in her hand. Such abominations must stop." 88% MORE PUDDING POWERS PIODUCED Last yur Canndinn manufac- turers made 18.123562 pounds of pudding powders. 4.476.573 pounds more than in 1953.
