Mr. and Mrs. Peter Garrison, who were visiting my neighbors, lived for 2% years in Borneo, of their Canada a travel and even the itinerary trip from there _ to sounds as romantic as folder . Phillipine Islands, Honk Kong, Japan, Hawaii, San Francisco and then Vancouver. I can't say I have ever felt any eagerness to visit Borneo (my thoughts have run more to England, France, Mexico, Hono-| lulu, the Mediterranean—you | know, the romantic spots!), but| right now I would even settle for a trip to Borneo—head- hunters and all. KEEPER OF SKULLS | Yes, the word “head- hunters’ came up and the visi- tors amazed me by saying “ Oh, they are among our nicest people.” Although _ peaceful now, with many of. them work- ing at the Shell oilfields, where Mr. Garrison was employed, it is not very long since the tribe practised their ancient custom. During the last war, the Alli paid them 50c for every Japanese head they produced. And their 1l-year-old daughter spoke cheeriully of seeing their “skuil house” down the river and of the old man or custodian who had the happy title “Keeper of the Skulls.” The natives five. in “long houses” built on stilts because of the swampy- ground. The house is divided in half, with one side free for communal | ing, and the other half divided into as many as 150 rooms, with 150 doors leading .on to a long yerandah running the length of the house. | By ‘Edna Blackwell This week, we are going to direct a few words to the be- ginning photograph point out afe w very common and very exasperating camera errors, The out-of-focus subject is at or near the top of any list ot miscues.

Another impression went by the board when I heard the serve paid at the rate of 140 Malay dollars, or between $40 and $50 in ony money. It isn’t a high wage, but certainly not the “peanuts that I had understood native servants were paid in eastern countrie: The humid, difficult stockings again shorts and bare legs; of the bananas which grow green and hard and are not as tender and flavorful the ones we buy here; of fresh pineapple and the strange fruit “ pa-paw "; of the open markets called “kedai and that there is no tresh meat me of the and how used visitors told hot climate it was to get after years to of as available, just frozen meat brought in from Australia; of eu dishes made with meat and rice, and then heaped witn| chopped eggs, chopped tomatoes | and cucumbers, and even sliced | bananas.
