Adventures of a Fez.

Mine is a long history, and hence for want of space I must relate it as briefly as possible. I take my origin from a kind of cloth made in Fez, an important commercial centre in North Africa. Mus. lims alone wear me, and I have no other | s significance than a covering for the head. Some boys are ashamed of wearing the Fez, while my master takes pride in put-I ting me on.
Some of my master's friends like to wear me; he is only too generous, and thus every friend and class-mate of his has tried ai
me. The friends then exchange names, and at times when my master exchanges me for a Gandhi cap, he looks no worse than Pandit Nehru.
Once when I was brand new, my master's brother, having a fancy for me, removed nie stealthily to school. There I suffered a calamity which I must necessarily relate to you. I was proudly seated on Thamby's head when a mischievous girl sportively clipped down half my "tail” with a pair of scissors brought to the stitching class; and amidst laughter, I became the cynosure of all eyes. But Thamby was too generous to take punitive measures. Then a jealous boy told the teacher that Thamby was having mangoes inside me. "No, Sir," | a replied he, like an innocent child; but to e the laughter and jollity of the boys, IT

Miserable as I was, I served s a volley-ball to the boys after school, as kicked this side and that, and finally pt myself besmeared with dust and dirt. - was a miserable day for Thamby, too.
Once my master gave me a long leave, ad when I lay idle I did service to a pider which made her web inside me.
erhaps you may think, I have thus affered much dishonour. No; doubtless, have sustained some insults and injuries; ill, there is ample recompense for my ounded majesty. I an noble in birth and high in fortune, id with a spirit of pride breathed into

In a Barber Saloon
BY M. S. THASAN,
Matric A.
It was early in the morning-the sui had risen no more than half an hou before Manikkan, the barber of Mallakan had opened his shop—the "Royal Saloon.'
There are many barbers in that loca lity but none so popular as Manikkan.
The hundred and one nondescripts of the population resort to the well known "Ro; a Saloon," not merely because Manikkan is dexterous in his craft, but because he is a chatty agreeable fellow and a fathoinless well of information. Every customer of his who went to be shaved, or shampooed or have his nails trimmed came away feeling that he had spent a very pleasant quarter of an hour and gained knowledge at a trifling cost. He was not often aware that he had given more than he had received.
A customer had presented himself in the person of a porter. He was tall, and lean, pale and haggard. His face was
wrinkled more on account of toil than of age. He had come for a shampoo to brace him for the day's work. He entered the Saloon and sat down on a chair in front of a large mirror. Manikkan spread his towels and was shaking up his
mixture.
"A most elegant preparation, by my razor" said the barber holding the bottle to his customer's nose. “You smell the oil of lavender? When you leave me, your hair will diffuse a sweet savour and perfume the street" he said. "I hope it will not attract the insects" said the porter. "Make your mind easy about that" replied the barber.
Half a minute later a second man appeared. He stopped, mounted two steps that led to the saloon and sat down

NG HINDU
| on the chair. He had to wait till the
barber had finished the shampooing of the first customer.
“Addai Appiah, lay my whitest napkin about Iyah's throat" said the barber.
"A new apprentice, barber?" said the customer eyeing Appiah. “More agreeable to look at than the hunchback of your's."
"A lout, I say; clumsy as an untamed colt. Did he not break my best basin into a thousand and one fragments. He
was--"
Here the barber was interrupted by the hurried entrance of the president of the "B" group of the Salvation army. He was short and corpulent. "Sit down, Iyah'' said the barber to his new customer. He then asked his "addle-pated" apprentice to lather the new Comer. The apprentice dabbed the shaving brush with the whitest and creamiest of lathers into the half-open mouth of the member of the "B" group.
The little man jumped up spluttering with froth and fury. Manikkan in his wrath seized the brush, fung Appiah aside and shouted. "Away with you fool, last of the generation of apes. Woe is me that I should call you kin? Would you shame me before the very face of Iyah?
Would you take away my good name and cause it to be spread, that Manikkan is an.uncle of an ass?
I pray, Iyah, pardon me, the least of your servants, and not to turn away the light countenance from me because of the iniquities of this poor fool, who is but lately come from a mean village that I may sharpen his wits and better his manners." Turning to his apprentice the barber said "stand here you witless lout and hold the basın for me: it's all you are fit for."
The customer allowed himself to be appeased, for he wanted his breakfast.
Manikkan alternately abusing his apprentice and flattering the imember of the "B" group finished his task,

THE YOUN Here and There
BY THE EDITOR. The Repatriation Scheme It is with great pleasure that Ceylon born labourers commend the State Council on the excellent resolution recently passed with regard to the repatriation of non-Ceylonese labourers from the Island. The problem of unemployment is to some extent solved. Pity for our educated unemployed has driven away the pity for outsiders. It is ridiculous on our part to think that we had been nursing thousands of daily paid Indian labourers, when there were numerous Ceylonese leading a life of utter helplessness and pauperism. Indeed, "charity begins at home."
Ban on Non-Ceylonese Teachers
A +
C
There is no time so apt to raise our sincere thanks to the Minister of Education than at present when he his raised a ban on Non-Ceylonese teachers. As everybody knows, unemployment is among the teaching world caused by the ceaseless inflow of South Indian graduates. This state of affairs has indeed driven the educated Ceylonese to resort to questionable
methods of earning their living.
The Minister of Education, being a quondam teacher, has very acutely felt it, and has made matters easy, by his proposal to strike off Indian teachers froin the teaching profession in Ceylon, Hats off to Mr. Kannangara!
Anglo-Franco-Soviet-Pact In order to check Hitler's attempts at domination, and to resist any wilful aggression caused by the David and Jonathan of Europe (Hitler and Mussolini). Mr. Neville Chamberlain and M. Daladier lea ve no stone unturned towards the fruition of this Pact. This Triple Alliance when successfully brought into

being, will be the strongest Peace Bloc non-aggression Pact) the world has ever Inown. It will not in the least prove to ve “an encirclement ring" as Hitler has maliciously put it. A nation with the vest air force in the world joins with two tations whose naval strength when conidered together will prove the most mpenetrable war machinery in the whole vorld. The little difference of opinion hat lies at present between Moscow and England is with regard to the guarantee ir protection to the Baltic States, the leighbours of Soviet Russia. Anyhow, Chamberlain is not the person to fail in his endeavours to raise the structure of Peace in Europe. Examples are not far o seek. Let us be optimistic,
LETTER TO THE EDITOR.
Why Not a Ban on
Indian Books? SIR,--In these days when the repatriation scheme is worked out and a ban on non-Ceylonese teachers is being effected; why not we realise the great loss incurred by our using Indian books in our schools, and bring to use books compiled by | affna authors? Why should we send our money to another country, on a purpose which we can very well fulfil in our own country? Why not we encourage local educated men to write books so as to devise ways and means of circulating our money in our own country?
Therefore, Sir, may I kindly request Dur Principal to ban all Indian books and to prescribe local compilations for Dur own use? This proposal if put into effect will be of great benefit to us.
Yours etc., 13-6-39,

Twice a year this London Matric si comes and goes. It brings with it numberless hopes and anxieties, and takes with it innumerable curses and despairs. Examination centres are many, Jas ni Hindu College and St. Patrick's College, St. John's College and Stanley School, Jaffna College and Hartley College, and many othes. Examinees are also comparatively numerous.
One student thinks that there is nothing lile trying, once or twice or at the minimum thrice, without serious work, after which, he may intently prepare his lessons and begin again his series of be failures in arithmetical progression. | he Another student thinks that if fortunately m he comes down in the attempt he may | ni have a sure chance of getting into the w College Eleven, either Cricket or Soccer. Another student thinks in terms of his father and mother. Suppose his father abu, es him in case of his failure, and he has, therefore determined to abscond for some time, his mother will then wcep for 1 im and pine away in the agony of his |P. absence. To leave his mother in such a ar state of helplessness would really grieve cł hin. To avoid all these, the student |ch makes up his mind to pass the examination in the first attempt. A queerheaded examinee definitely proposes to fail in his first endeavour mainly in order to secure a First Division pass in his pr second attempt. Till then, he intends to play about. To another student an astrologer has given enough advice not to E take up the Matric at the first possible chance, because his "Sukkiran and | fo Puthan” are in had "houses." Thus after | P

any hesitations and considerations, the ident takes up the examination.
Many wonderful things happen in the amination hall. One sturdy, shortzed supervising inspector walks like a -panese sandow with chest forward, -ad turned up, and all that. He talks ith a peculiar rumbling accent and his alk is merely a hopping race. The udent cannot turn to look outside, when ere is this quaint figure inside. He ans his physical dimensions from top to ottom and laughs within hinıself, lest he ould be considered a mad person. All ese ideas engage his mind when the aestions in the Arithmetic and Algebra a per puzzle the student. The Lady upervisor comes and goes. She is a eautiful creature, full of artificialities in er dress, mien, method of walking and anner of talking. All these delineations nd characterisations are resorted to hen the blessed Geometry paper apo tars to be a bugbear. Then comes the nglish paper. The examinee does not irn to any side for want of time; sense
nonsense he manages to write the hole three hours together. One candiite forgets to write about Satan's andemonium from Addison's Essays, and 1other student writes too much of the haracter of Addison when Sir Roger's haracter is required. Another candidate cludes in his essay on "My School ays" how he managed to be a prefect r ten years and how he tried to play bod cricket for five years. History ap. 'oaches with mystery to a certain .ndidate, "Why is Queen Anne's reign onsidered to be the most important in nglish History?" This candidate writes I way of answer, "Because she reigned r 27 years” and he writes nothing more. por student, he expects a pass in History!

Thus oddities, but not sense, form t bulk of most of the answer papers.

I want to describe the qualities of this new profession for undergraduates. The sartorial artist leads a very care-free life. You take the razor or scissors and cut at random. Sometimes you have the satisfaction of cutting the cheeks of your rivals in any walk of life. Even for a few minutes you have great men at your mercy.

EDITORIAL NOTES
The long expected Inter-House Athletic Sports Meet came off last Saturday, at the end of which Nagalingam House was seen to snatch off the much coveted mantle of House Championship. It was indeed a signal success which can be best attributed to our optimistic sports master's untiring efforts. In this connection we cannot fail to realize the importance of the services rendered by some enthusiastic members of the staff who have thought it incumbent upon themselves to help their sports master in one way or another.
We congratulate Nagalingam House on their well-deserved championship, and their House Master Mr. C. Sabaratnam who, by his calm but steady efforts, piloted his house to the harbour of preeminence. A full report of the Athletic Competition appears , elsewhere in this issue.
We extend our warm felicitations to Mr. Navaratnarajah who arrived in our midst last Monday, as a member of the staff. We expect much from him in English, Logic and Latin.
That there is a vast increase in the strength of the Matric, Post-Matric and |

hich fact goes a great way in ascertainng the capacities and popularity of our enior professors. It may not be out of lace to mention that the time to grumble n account of congested class rooms s not far off.
The forms of Government
that exist today
BY M. SARAVANA MUTTU,
Pre - Matric B.
At present there exist three forms of Government. They are Democratic, Dictatorial and Communistic Governnents. Great Britain is an example of a Democratic Government, Germany is an
xample of a Dictatorial Government and Russia is an example of a Communistic Government.
A country is said to be Démocratic when t is ruled by a Parliament and a King or a President. The King will rule with certain imited powers. If any motion is brought Eo the Parliament, it will be first discussed by the members and then it will be allowed for vote. Then the finding of Ehe majority will be accepted. If it is passed by the Parliament, then the King signs it without any refusal. We are all under this form of Government at present and this is the best form of Government Ehat exists today. In all cases the decision of the majority is accepted in this Form of Government. - A country is called Dictatorial when it Es ruled by one man's will. Now let us take Adolf Hitler, the Dictator of Ger
many. At Germany his will or word is law. He can do anything without the consent of anyone. He sent all the Jews of Germany out of his country and did many unbearable things to them. This form of Government is not good for a country. Hitler is very powerful in Ger

many and almost all the Germans als follow him. He does not know what pit is. All the Germans are afraid of Hitler
His aim in life is to be powerful and fon of fight. He is training all the Germai boys the act of fighting and preparing
materials for war.
In a communistic country all property is common to al[. No one can say "Thi is my property" as in Ceylon. There the Government is carried on by a leader, who is elected by the people. He has to do all things with the consent of the common will. In this form of Government, there will be neither riches nor poverty. This form of Government is also good.
Japan is now neither a Dictatorial nor a Democratic Government and soon I think it will become a Dictatorial Government, because it is now following the methods of Germany and Italy.
Signor Mussolini, the Italian Dictator is not as powerful as Hitler. In Italy there is also a King. Even the King is afraid of Mussolini. These Dictatorial Governments are trying to rule the whole World, But this is impossible.
Our veteram Cook.
BY "KAILAS," 9. Prep Matric.
Diminutive in size, rather old in age but quite healthy and agile is our head cook. He is one who has seen six princi. pals and many boarding masters, and this shows the amount of service he has put in. He is very proud of having served under so many men and yet carries as a testimonial for him that he served food to Mr. C. Coomarasamy, District Judge, Jaffna.
He is one noted for his idiosyncracies. He never tastes the food which others prepare and never accompanies the other

ỞNG HINDU
o cooks to whatever place they go. He is | a great sportsman and a good mechanic.
He has the distinction of having won the 220 yds. handicap race for the Cooks and Servants in last year's Inter House Athletic Meet. This year too he has communicated with the sportsmaster expressing his willingness to participate in the Meet. We wish him good luck this year too. [He has won the race this year too–Editor.] Once he was able to repair an electric light. He is a good friend of our ground boy and our electrical assistant Perera. Perhaps he learnt his mechanism and sports from these two jolly good frinds.
He toils the whole day ceaselessly and and never gets fatigued, Very early in the morning he gets up from his famous old bed and begins baking "Thosai". He sits on a three-legged chair and does his morning baking together with his soliloquies, One wonders, when one sees this veteran talk the whole day to himself in vain, but scolding almost all under whom he has been working. This may he due to his old age. Anyhow this marvellous piece of thing, never means what he says. He is an object of laughter to the hostellers and they treat him as one who is about to be sent to the "Observation hospital".
Sickness is a thing which is unknown to him. Not a single day has he complained of illness. God alone knows how much he is worried when he hears that a hosteller has fallen sick. Sometimes his grief develops to the point of weeping. The hostellers have not seen such an experienced and kind cook. * He is an object of terror to the beggars and "sanyasis" who come to the hostel.
He hates the very sight of these "sanyasis" and chases them out of the hostel premises
with a firewood in hand, Whenever he is irritated (this happens very often) he takes whatever thing is close by and threatens others. Whether it be a siraWood or a water jug or a cocoanut or a potato is no concern to him at that

Page 13
THE TOUN
point of sanity. He does nothing more but makes people fear at his mode of walking and raising his hand, Anyway he forgets everything then and there and is quite friendly the next moment.
He has toiled more than thirty years and by this time he would have got his pension had he worked under the Government. The hostellers will lose an enjoyable companion at the table when he puts a stop to this culinary service and they are very much grieved to hear that he is going to retire soon. We wish that the College authorities do scrutinise his case and properly reward him when he retires from the hostel service. A monthly pension would be preferable to a lump sum.
We wish him happy old days with his great-grandchildren.

mates and school inates who are now in their respective spheres of life. This Wonderful "Charlie" has a world of his own, in which he moves happily with his coterie of peculiar doctors and lawyers, mathematicians and scientists, monkeys and apes. He takes his double in coffee, dinner, studies and failures. Anyhow, he is indispensable to our college and hostel. We wish him a happy life at Hindu College till his Diamond Jubilee.
The last in this list but the most imI portant person in the hostel is our friend

mouth to the right and left even in his | busy hours of "non-reading." The ques| tion of passing the examination does not in any way affect him; to be short, he is failure proof.
