TV Changing Beer-Drinking Habits of Britons

LONDON, Nov. 26 - (Reuters) 7 Television is changing Britalnxs lmr-di'inkiiig habits and the new doublc strength coronation brew announced Monday may age the shift from the local iipub” '.o the living room.

In Britain TV is almost strictly fl home affair. Few sets are mount- ed in the old-style taverns. With video's growing popularity, the zrend is to take home a dozen bot- ties of beer instead of sticking ill'(llllld the pub for the nightly

pint.

The special beer to be brewed I1 honor of the coronation is to )9 out. in souvenir bottles. Few drinkers will be tempted to go home from their local bar with Dockets full of empty souvenirs. rhey will be much more likely to av iii a stock for home consump- tion - with or without TV.

Draft beer sells for the equival- -nt. of 20 cents a pint glass. The soronation ale. twice as strong.

will go for about 35 cents - in a decorated "nip" about, six ounces.

Canadian dollar currently is ho. vering at about a two-per-cent premiurn.

Once the price on this market reached between 150 and one per ounce, but now it is to about 33'! and s38.

The boost may see a return of some of these mines from the free to the official market in 1063, of- ficials said. '

The bo t will be provided through an amendment to a com- plicated payment formula under the Emergency Gold Mining As- sistance Act.

Strange Way Of Choosing leaders in lieinote islands

By Brytlen Brown

VILA, New Hebrides. Nov. 25 - (Reuteis)- Mankind has strange ways of choosing its leaders, In re- mote Pacific isles, where the ballot box is unknown, the choice may depend on feats of endurance al-

most. unbelievable to the western world.

Travellers returning recently from Pentecost Island, on the

northwest flank of the New He- hridcs Islands in the Southwest Pacific, brought. with them this

tale of how 26 chieftains proved their fitness to rule:

one by one, the 26 Melaneisan warriors mounted a 60-foot tower and from varying heights leaped head-first t.owal'd the ground Each walked off without injury. Their lives depended on ropes which pulled them up within a few inches of the crushed coral.

As tom toms rose to a furious crescendo, ilie final jumper-a mighty tribal chief-dived earth- wards in a wide arc.

The native rope pulled taut with a loud crack and like the others. he dangled exactly four inches from the ground. upside down. A great-throated roar rose from the crowd, slgnalizinz the climax of a rite which occurs only once in 100 years.

By risking their lives, the 26 had proved their courage and theirl right to rule.

The diving links up with an old tribal legend about a villager who took himself a wife by use of brute force. Each time she tried to flee. he would capture her. One day she climbed a palm tree and he follow- ed.

The woman knotted palm leaves to her feet and jumped. The cush- ioning effect of the huge leaves broke her fall. She escaped un- harmed. but the villager. who had not seen how she did it. leaped to his death.

The modern drama commemor- ates the incident.

Loni: narrow planlos jutled from the tower at various heights. The lesser warriors leaped first from the lower planks. Each juniper tied two ropes to his ankles. one

was carefully measured to pull him up just four inches from the ground. The second was elastic

and acted as a shock absorber. No plank was used more than once

iv - r:n' gEVEN Irene Cai'.c.t, an independent said that so far this year, 3,501

Ulster people have left for Canadl alone.

'”I'hl's it the policy of the sur- geonis knife," she complained "Once this movement gains mom- entum it will be almost impossibll to stop."

For the government, Labor Min- ister Ivan Neill gave different fig- ures.

He said the average nuxnber leaving for abroad each year 8lllCI

the war was under 2.000. H15 in- formation was that this year the number was not much above the

figure.

"We cannot. prevent people em- igrating. The most. the govem- menf. can do is to try to see that they do not leave owing to lack of employment,” he said.

Francis Hanna, Labor. said tha 12,03-I) Ulstermen were thinking ol

heading for Canada in the nexl few years. The matter came up first Nov.
