— Wuacks aiiect Witch

~~. Doctor Practices

When. Dr, ‘Heurl Collomb

started taking advice from

witch doctors 20 years ago,
his colleagues told Him he
wastoo old ‘to dabble in
superstitions.

~.“‘And now everyone's
interested in traditional
medicine,’ chuckled the
psychiatrist, airecter 1
Fann Psychiatric Hospital at
Dakar. “People are coming
here from all around—from
other African countries,
Europe and the United
States—to see what we are
doing.” :

They find a. welbknown
West African witch doctor
co-operating with Collomb
and his scientific staff in

attemptsto mix what's good
in witchcraft with what's
good in riodern medicine to
heal mental disorders,

«The elfort is part of a
broadening trend by health
authorities in Africa to in-
vestigate the healing power

“of traditional village witch

doctors and herbal phar-
macy, particularly for re-
mote areas with few doctors.
..Collomb, #4, came to this
West African country in 1959
with standard European
psychiatric training from

witch doctors when they left
and were being treated by
‘witch doctogs, more or less
secretly, even while they
were here,”” he said, “When
my patients spoke tome of
devils, hexes and so on, I

naturally got interested.’
7.As a result, Collomb
became convinced African
healers, as a reflection of
their cultures, had
something to teach
European psychiatry in the
eare of African mental
‘filness.

.-Collomb started by visiting
witch doctors’ “healing vil-

‘A horse-cart drunk-driver

SOUTHPORT, England
(CP) A Liverpool

The car driver said: “The

BRAVE THE COLD WITH
A WINTER PICNIC

A winter plenic. Untried by
most, yet considered as
naturalto many Canadians
as donning a pair of skis,
mounting a snowmobile or
strapping on a pair of
snowshoes.

The season for enjoying
picnics — as most of us know
picnics — is regrettably too
short, The solution, it seems,
is to extend the season. And
why not?

Not only isa picnic in the
snow a little novel, it’s a lot
of fun. Family fun.

The only r ements:
ssunny winter's day, a warm
blanket, to spread on thé
snow and food — delicious,
nutritious food. ti;

Nothing elaborate ~ is
necessary. Make your own

sandwiches plus a thermos -
of hot soup, finished off with -

good Canadian cheddar
cheese and fresh fruit, are
all you need.

Since most breads are.

unpalatable when very cold,
choose ‘a crispbread rather
than a conventional bread

for your winter picnic.
Crispbread érginated in
Scandinavia, the part of the
world best known for its
hardy, well-£it people.
Another advantage, because
it is baked very alowly in
order to get its unique dry,
crisp texture it remains
fresh indefinitely so there is

no need for preservatives. —

Made from whole grain
cereals such as wheat and
rye, cr! ds are rich in
fibre and rate high on the
wholesome seale. Since none
of the nutrients are- lost
because’ of the slow baking,
none have to be added. As a

” result, crispbreads, such as

the Ry-King varieties, are
100 per cent free of all ad-
ditives. -

Sandwich toppings are
limitless. The cold witner air
ass a.s natural
Tefrigeratro so there is no
need to worry about food
spoilage. Let —s- your
imagination be your guide.

Sandwich ideas that are
easy to serve on a winter

pienic and go especially well
with hot soup are: -

Canned salmon with
mayonnaise and green
anions on Ry-King golden
rye erispbread

cottage cheese sprinkled
with ch parsley or dill
on Ry-King wheat crisp-
bread ue

hard boiled egg slices with
sardines and lettuce on Ry-

[King light crispbread

a variety of cold meat

‘slices with tomato slices on

Ry-King golden rye crisp-
bread ;

If your imagination rung
dry, you can help it out with
a super booklet that gives
countless ideas for make-
your own sandwiches. Called
