...Mescalero Apache reservation in southern New Mexico last week went many a Navaho, Comanche, Kiowa and Oklahoma Apache tribesman, plus hundreds of white vacationists, to join the 800 Mescaleros in a tribal ceremony. Hosts were Paul and Charles Evans, rich Apaches. The occasion: presentation of their 16-year-old daughters, Rebecca and Carolyn, to Indian society...
...satisfactory melodrama. There is nothing but action and suspense throughout, and Sabu the Hindu boy fits excellently into the life of a Himalayan tribe, yet the plot as a whole runs in too much of a groove to make the picture topnotch.

Next to their traditional blood feuds the hard-drinking Albanians like an occasion to celebrate, and wily King Zog, who knows that many a prominent tribesman has sworn to kill him, last week kept them occupied with three whole days of celebrations.

They are then dried brown, either in kilns or in the sun, and sacked. Many an Accra tribesman has toted two 60 lb. "headloads" of cocoa beans on a day's trek from plantation to trading post. In New York and London last week cocoa tipsters were freely predicting that when the last beans are sold this spring, cocoa stocks will still be low, cocoa prices even...
