GRANDPARENTS' SOCIETY
English hair styles have been banned by a newly-formed semi-political organisation, the "Grandfathers' and Grandmothers' Association," of Henzada, Burma. Each member of this association takes the title of grandfather and grandmother, according to sex. Members of the executive committee must be non-smokers and- teetotallers. They must also abstain from chewing betel. The society's aim is to foster ni. jnal life in Burma. For this reason members pledge themselves to boycott certain foreign goods, to discard European styles of hairdressing, and to cultivate vegetables and turn vegetarians. They also undertake not to enter the Legislature until home rule is granted to Burma.
