THE LOCAL SLANT Elizabeth Fox Explores A Squatter Village And

Finds A Doomed School

I'd like you to come with me to one of the squatter villages, just one of hundreds like it all over the

Colony.

In an area no bigger than a hockey pitch are some five thousand souls and here they live, work, have

babies and die.

This is the village where the Swatow refugees from China have made their homes, and to get to you must go out to Kal Tak along Rife Range Road and GUTGES the nullah. In a rough half circle the shucks huddle at the foot and have crept up the side of a crescent shaped hit with the nullah join- ing the two points,

With their little ninney, those refugees who arrived first bullt these, well, hovels there is no other word for them, and those who came later were compelled to rent either a hut, or a space in a hut, from the others al anything up to $26 month. That may st sound terribly exorbitant to you, but to the it is more thim crough at you will see

With fingers flying they sit from dawn 10 dusk, the daylight hours, plying their needles ut the exquisite embroidery for which Swatow is farmenis. For this skilled labour they eat. $ię to $1.20 per day. They never see the finished product, usually a blouse, and they never learn how to make the whole article. If they did, they would earn far more. But they aren't allowed to. Over anxi again, the same design it is their life.
