fellow-citizens-at least, some of them-will get the notion that Quakerism is tainted with subver- sive doctrines. If they send the . cheque back, other neighbours and fellow-citizens will say that the Friends have repudiated their tradi- tion of free thought and expression.

the author of this custom. He was an Australian journalist - Edward George Honey-and the thought which suggested the idea came to him while he was reading a history of the reign of Elizabeth. He was struck by the fact that in those days great events were memoralized by signal fires, lighted on hill tops from one end of England to the other. Honey wrote for a London paper under the nom de plume of Jarren

Hoffman, one of America's outstanding industrialists and form- er foreign aid director for the United States Government; and its presi- dent is Dr. Robert M. Hutchins, eminent educator. Neither of them has been under the slightest sus- picion of subversion.

Isn't it a pity, though, that a religious group. whose chief strength has been its unity, has to be made to suffer embarrassment-yes, and calumny-by the fears and dissen- sions of the wider community?

EDITORIAL NOTESI

Forrester. On May 8, 1919. he wrote: ”Cannot we spare some fragment of hours of peace and rejoicing for a silent tribute to the mighty dead? Individually, yes, but nationally? I ask five little minutes of national remembrance-a very sacred con- ceesion."

His suggestion was taken up by the British Government. At the first rehearsal, later in 1919, it was found that five minutes was too long a period for troops or crowds to re- main immovable. Thus the time was reduced to two minutes. Honey died in 1922 and is buried at Northwood,. Middlesex. But he lived to read the Royal Proclamation of November 6. 1919, which ordered "the suspen- sion of all nomial activities” for a space of two minutes to recall the event "which stayed the carriage and marked the victory of right and freedom, to the end that th e v thoughts of everyone may be con-

centrated upon reverent remem- branre of the glorious dead."

Witchcraft Murdels

By Astley Hawkins Ream.-g Agency, Basutodand

Witchcraft murders among Af-

ricans who use human fesh .and blood for "prosperity potions" in p- rimitive rituals are stil lbeng reported in this British East Af- rican protectorate despite all con- tacts with white civilization and police action to end them. DON'T FEAR PUNISHMENT

Nearly 150 such murders have been uncovered by Basutnland police in the last 60 years. more than half of them in the last 10 years. Higher figures in recent years relect better methods of detection and investigation rather than any unusual increase in the murders, long a part of African life.

Many Basutos have been found

guilty and executed for "med-'

icine" killings, But this has failed Lo deter others from reverting to forbdden heathen practices when they believe that their prestige is threatened or life needs something their own "magic" touch. "Medicine murders" are believed

to date back to the days of tribal warfare. among African natives. when it was traditional for vic- torious warriors to take flesh or blood from defeated enemies on the

Today, the victim may be any- one. Cases in recent years have involved an African mission cler- gyman, a youth noted for his physical st,rength, an insane woman. a small girl. a young woman who was pregnant and I woman who had just given birth.

"Medicines" made from human flesh or blood may be required to ”heal" a whole village of evil influences. to improve the status of a chief. to counteract the ap- pointment of an unpopular chief or to protect crops from hail dam- age.

Invariably, it is a chief or vill Iage headman who selects a vic- tim on the advice of a tribal witch- doctor and plots the murder, which is usually committed at night in a remote place by a band of the chief's followers after a session of beer drinking.

The victim may be waylaid or lured into an.ambush. betrayed even by relatives who submit to the murder of husband or wife. brother or sister, through fear of

or loyalty to a chief. Various parts of the body or blood are taken

through cuts or incisions, usually before the victim dies. In one recent case. the unborn child was

NATO Scholarships

(Ottawa Citizen)

Under Article 2 of the North At-

lantic Treaty, the signatory nat- ions were to promote co-operation in other than military fields. The prior needs of defence may in con- siderable measure excuse delay in doing much about this policy, but Canadans in particular have al- ways felt that not enough seal was being shown in the matter.-"i'he NATO fellowship and scholarship program that has Just been an- nounced is. however, a real step forward.

As with similar awards under United Nations and Colombo plan programs, the NATO awards are designed to promote the exchange of knowledge. But since most NATO nations are well advanced technic- ally, greater emphalsis can be pluc- ed on the study of their various social, cultural economic and poll- tical systems. These studies will tend to develop a closer sense of cilimmunity among the allied peo- p es.

The NATO fellowships will be good for a few months of study and the scholarships will be a- warded fora full academic year in l956-57- The Royal Society of Can- ada, which admnlste n the Cana- dian Government Overseas Awards will receive applications and for- ward them to a NATO selection committee. Many students should be interested.
