For this reason any pro- ject which is morally acceptab- le to the Vodun loa is undertak- en undei these auspices so that it may enjoy these tremendous advantages. i Thus, although, theoretically, rnagical powers can be exercis- ed either in a moral or an im- ,moral direction, the moral or white magic -cures, therapy, etc.- is, In Haiti, performed by the hungan within and with the support of the religious structure; by contrast the activity of the , .magician consists of projects whose, moral nature is such that !they could not enlist the sup- 1hJ port bf the religion. A person who becomes ill be- .gins, as is normal, by attempt- ing' to treat himself witli his per- sonal herbal knowledge, as we I.:. might begin by taking aspirin or hot tea. If the illness does not pass, he consultsia hungan. And the, first task pf the hungan is to decide whether it is really a 'physical disease or one of "sup- er:natural" origin.

The disturbed mental states re- i- sponsible for these physical dis- orders may originate in deeply personal traumatic experience or in the anxiety and tensions im- posed by pie stresses and strains of 'modern environment.

The rate is rising ra- pidly and steadily, and it is hit- ting and increasingly 'younger age level. Psychosomatic disorders are not, of course,' the only way in which psychic disturbance ex- press itself.

Scientists are the first to insist that the tremendous increase in psychological disord- er in our culture is not due to a sudden, inexplicable decline in the quality of human mentality, but that our culture itself must somehow be responsible. We must, therefore, in all reason, conclude that the Haitian culture itself must also be responsible for the salutary absence of such disorders in Haiti. It would not be correct to ascribe it to a basically simple or easy life, for the strain of sheer subsistence is there overwhelming; and it would not be reasonable, either, to Ihink of it as a fabulous streak of cosmic good luck. We have, indeed, no alternative but to put two and two together: to place the "superstitious" magical and religious rituals which would seem to have no apparent pur- pose or value (from the scienti- fic point of tiew) side by side with the salutory phenomena which have no apparent cause or reason, and to investigate wheth- er there might 'not be some consecutive relatioisip between these, and the nature of, it, if it exists.

Miss Aline Moyse. 35, is an agricultural home economics in- spector for Haiti's Department of Home Economics, and in charge of the training of home economics agents. She received a fellowship in Home Economics in order to aid the peasant wom- en in bettering their living con- dlitions. Aural home economic centres had been established in Haiti with the goal of instructing the peasant %woman on food and nu- trition prob:e.ns, cultivation of food-stuffs and the rearing of poultry so that she could supply her family with food, thus leav- ving her husband free to produce these goods necessary to earn money for the family's upkeep. The centres aroused the great- est amount of interest in the Hai- tian peasant women. However, the centres were run by agricul- tural agents whose training need- ed to be managed and supervis- ed by the agricultural home ec- onomics inspector. And this is where Miss Moyse and her fell- owship training was applied. HOW TO CHOOSE CANDI- DATES How are the fellowship candi- dates chosen?

Introd- uced by Deputy Lucien Belizaire the bill received strong comm- ent from daily newspapers. Publishing of the memocand- um of the bill in La Phalange prompted Maitre Emile Cauvin, one of Port au Prince's leading lawyers, to describe the bill 'as, "an attempt to control the legal profession." Voices in the Chamber of De- puties were raise in opposition and stating that the bill was a "monstrosity" Deputy Pierre Amand added, hat the fees de- manded by a counsellor would be a stead,,' burden on all small enterprises as well as a deterr- ent to those planning to expand RAISES STRONG BUT PASSES together with a risk for aggra- vating unemployment. Haitian law stipulates that a lawyer can be at the service of one company only and as this country consists of a number of small enterprises in excess of available lawyers the enforce- ment of such a bill would be made beyond the bounds of feas- ibility. Small budgets and tight oper- ating incomes in the case of most firms here would mean that in the event of the retain- ing of a lawyer personnel would probably have to be dropped or the firm would have to be oper- ated on a budget which would very effectively prevent further expansion. As one lawyer pointed out this week he would not feel inclined to demand a fee each month from someone to whom he had tendered no services. FOR YOUR EW BE 7Y, FOR YOUR WA L?,"*-!.'0FT, FUPRWgF7, !
