Pygmies In Zairian Army
Have History Of Fighting
Sending Pygmies against
Katangan rebels in Zaire
*»as been called by one
Western diplomat in the
capital, Kinshasa, "A brilliant
public relations move."
Announcements that
"elite Pygmy bowmen"
#i*re part of the government's
offensive in the province
of Shaba were widely
reported, although the few
Pygmies seen by correspondents
all carried rifles—
almost as tall as the
diminutive soldiers themselves.
But President Mobutu
Sese Seko may have counted
more on the shock value the
news could have on the rebel
invaders than on the
numbers or equipment of his
4V4-foot-tall infantrymen.
"Magical" Hunters
Pygmies have long been
known as fighters and
hunters. They are skilled
woodsmen whose ability to
move swiftly and silently
through dense foliage once
caused other tribes to
believe they had magic that
allowed them to appear and
disappear at will, the
National Geographic Society
reports.
For centuries, the Pygmies
proved to be formidable
adversaries for men or
beasts who entered their
Ituri Forest homeland.
When Henry Morton Stanley
explored the Congo in the
1880s, he reported seeing a
man die within minutes of
being wounded by a Pygmy's
poisoned arrow.
With light bows accurate
up to nearly 30 yards and
with spears, the Pygmies
can stalk and kill any game
in the forest, regardless of
size.
An elephant can be
brought down by a hunter
who creeps underneath it
and stabs repeatedly with
his spear, while exercising
considerable agility to avoid
being trampled.
Pygmies were in the Ituri
long before the taller Bantu
tribes arrived. Their short
stature seems well suited to
the humid rain forest, where
the sun barely penetrates.
Some anthropologists believe
the Pygmies' small
size results from this
environment; others think
they survived in the jungle
because of their adaptability.
Nomads by Nature
Possibly 40,000 Pygmies
still remain in the former
Congo, including northeastern
Zaire. Most live in
nomadic bands of 40 to 50
persons and resist efforts to
settle them in one place.
They prefer to roam the
forest, taking their few possessions
from one hunting
camp to the next. The men
carry their bows, arrows,
spears, and knives, nets for
fishing and for trapping
small game, and pipes for
tobacco or marijuana.
Women carry the cooking
utensils and food, and
glowing embers in wicker
baskets for the next campfire.
Women also weave the
light leaf-covered huts for
shelter whenever the band
stops.
In earlier years the
Pygmies stole what they
needed from the Bantu and
left freshly killed game in
payment. Today, a Pygmy
receives metal tools, vegetables,
and marijuana from
a farmer and brings him
part of his kill in exchange.
Zaire began recruiting
Pygmies into its army in
1973, training them as infantrymen,
paratroopers,
and pilots. Some also serve
as policemen, commanding
respect from their taller
countrymen.

Old Age Can Hurt
By MRS. H. M. COX
In The Smithfield Herald
When I was years younger than I am
now. a gentleman (who was a little
older than I was then) told me: "Old
age will always get you." And I have
found that to be most true. Doesn't
matter how active you have been. Or
what kind of work you have been doing.
There are no exceptions to old age, for
it has the right of way.
People must know that, and it seems
they would prepare for it, but they
seldom do. It isn't surprising that
scores of people are so baffled by it,
they simply go to pieces and make
themselves and everybody around
them miserable.
Old age is like time-it changes
everything. Not many folks can go on
doing the things they have always
done. Even if you have been one of the
smart ones, the infirmities and
ailments of old age will finally wrap
their arms around you and turn your
life upside down.
I am well qualified to speak on old
age since I am well on the way to being
through it. And I have learned a lot.
You cannot count on doing all of the
things you have always done. I once
enjoyed running the lawn mower and I
could handle it like it was a baby. But I
am past that now. I am trying to have a
small garden-just couldn't bear not to
have one of some size. But I am having
to sit down and rest at the end of every
row.
Indeed, old age has just about revolutionized
my way of living. But it hasn't
quite got the best of me yet. For all of
the things and the work I have had to
give up. I have pulled in something
else, like my writing and my music.
Never had too much time to put on
them over the years, for the work came
first. Now I can take time, for I have
time to spare.
I go real slow these days. Can't run
any more. In order to grow old
gracefully, one must acquire patience
and plenty of it. Indeed, it is a necessity
if you want people to love you and help
take care of you. It will also help to
think twice before you speak, for
people's mouths usually give them
trouble all during life-and in old age
they give more trouble than ever.
