The men of the village were cowed and gave their wives many gifts, A colonial official explained to the curious explorers that the village women formed a club about years ago and killed, cooked and ate a husband once a month; Kio of a “Husband-of-the-Month The authorities scon stopped the practice and sent the ring- leader to prison, but the memory lingers on in the minds of all the menfolk, A 17-year-old British girl was denied a marriage licence recently because her father wouldn't give The father’s reason wasn't to protect the girl from making mistake, but to La Nene the po- tential husband, “She can’t cook,” the father explained, “and;I’m not going to give my consent until she learns.” The frastrated swain may suf- fer a little heartache now, but he'll be saved a lot of heartburn in the future. eThe Castlegar CWL held their monthly meeting in St. Rita’s hall recently with 20 members and Father Brophy present, A new member, Mra, Hyfer, was welcom- ed to the league.
