~. 4tte.nt1on_ has r~cently been· drawn to anoth~r. species, known as the Athel tree·, 'l'amarix aphyl· la), which is being growll ·-exten· sive1Y by the Zinc Corporation and other bodies at Broken Hill. It is the only species of Tamarix that is evergreen and attains the height and size of a large tree; 1t is a really beautiful tree and has rense sheoak·like foliage from ground level to tree top. It is an extremely rapid grower ; it can be started easily and requires very little attention after· it is estab· lished. With all these special qualities it still carries the chamc· teristics ·of tl;le tamariek, known to us, in that it grows well on barren and salty soils.

Botanically the plant has had several names, viz.:-Tamaricus .\tie P. Alp; Thuja aphylla L.; Tamarfx orlentalls; Forsk; Tamar· ix artlculata Vahl.

Recent allegations regarding the black market in gold throughou"t Australia, inclnding West Australia and the Northern Territory, where· it is said £2o or more an ounce was paid by black­matketeers, lend significance to pric<!s at which gold changed hands at sterling equivalent in various countries lately. These were Paris £44, India .£20 (import duty £2/10/-), Hong Kong n6/6-, Egypt £15/6/-, Turkey £11/8/-, Mexico bars £9/14/- coins .£11/6/-. London (official) £8/12/-. In re­lation to ·exchange and the Aus­tralian pound, of course, this Lon­don price would be nearer .£17.

IS OUR ABO. POLICY "UP THE POLE"?

-:o:-A Giddyup Gallup !

Northern Territorians are smil­ing at -the recent issue by Austra­lian Public Polls of Melbourne of details rela~ to the Gallup Poll on the Polley for Aborigines. "Australians are of two minds on what policy would be beet for those aborigines still Jiving in their native state" says one Mel­bourne newspaper in presenting the figures, "A nation-wide Gal­lup Poll shows that the white man is evenly divided between (a) Helping the aborigines to live their tribal . lives and (b) Edueating them towards white. standards."

A view widely held among the experienced residents of the North­ern Territory where a substantial proportion of our black population fs in natural habitat is that "a nation·wide" poll on such a ques· tion would lead to serious error.

NOwh~~e in the world are vendettas carried -.more vicious!;· to the deat~ than \n the wild desolate space~ of the N~rthern Territory. fbe Native Tnbes of Central Austraha, wandermg their desert spaces, know how to avenge grudges. - Perhaps--it-i-s- because the dry seasons separate theblacks from one· another for so long ·they have more time ~ work up their grievances.

The historic gold rush to the famous Granites field in the desert 370 miles north-west of Alice Springs, was at its height towards' the end o~ 1932 when the gold guest was one day mo)llentarily forgotten m a flare-up between the blacks; They had come in, some from great distances, to witness the motor cars, boring equip­ment, and mechanical. wonders of the first White Men, many of them had ever seen.

As. the Skipper learned from 1>idgeon "English "yabba" with the loCal natives, the blacks of the Granites' region and that of t.he Lake .. area, a score or E!,O of t¢les to the north, had always been enemies. Deep ~a.ted Jealousies ever _the ~auty of J.ubras, quality of succ;ulent roots, size of goannas, and tastiness of Witchetty gnibs bad been fanned J:>y many fights over many generations. - '

What made the situation more bitter for the Lake Be>ys (Boy ·is ~e name for a full-grown aboriginal) was the fact that they were almost Rlways outnumbered by the Granites boys. ConsequenUv they suffered more spear thrusts, had deeper wounds opened oii shoulder and thigh by killer sticks, and experienced sharper blows on their skulls from nnlla nullas. Bitterest of all they saw more· of their d~sirable women taken from them, and their best fighters laid low.
