Prison Without Bars. From remote Cambridge Bay last week came an account of the trial. It took place in a Quonset hut normally used for recreation. To the black-robed judge (who sat under a movie screen), the black-robed lawyers (who sat at a ping-pong table) and the parka-clad jury, Eeriykoot and Ishakak again explained how Nukashook had died. The defense argued that assisted suicide was merely part of the Eskimo's way of trying to "match his harsh environment." But the judge said the excuse was unacceptable.

Chief-designate Seretse Khama, who had married Miss Williams against strenuous opposition from his family and the British authorities (TIME, July 11), cheerfully conducted his wife to her home, just being finished at Serowe, the mud-hut capital of Bechuanaland (pronounced Betcher Wanna Land). The home would be a three-room bungalow with a tin corrugated roof.

Today the missionary has largely become the chief of staff of an institution doing work much of which could be and should be done by government agencies. Perhaps missionaries need to get back to the day-to-day life of the African again...The new kind of missionary Africa needs is a moral and spiritual technician [who will] not preach the Gospel vaguely, but relate Christian philosophy to the needs and aspirations of the people where...
...Smooth Sea's Pregnancy Womb Birth-Giving Magical 100 Per Cent Effective Water." Perhaps its crowning triumph came in 1944, when an Army chaplain took some snapshots of South Pacific natives just liberated from the Japanese. One picture showed a native woman in front of a thatched jungle hut, surrounded by her possessions-meager indeed, but among them one bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, the grandmotherly face on the label mild and benign as ever...
