THE Aborigine people, who are the original inhabi tants of Australia, live mainly in the central desert of Australia, speaking about 300 dialects. They live in tribes, possessing no homes, crops or material pos sessions. In primitive simplicity, they share all they have, wives, children, food, water, laughter and
tears.Their whole uncomplicated lives are dedicated to survival as a full-time occupation. If they can hunt and kill animals on occasions, they are happy, indeed. But often their food consists of roots and plants, roasted among glowing woods and stones. Although living in Stone Age conditions, they are

Aborigines have learned enough to seek to avoid unnecessary violence. If ever atomic warfare is unleashed to bring disaster, survivors, who may well be crushed back to basic living, will shun future wars like a plague. How much better if we can learn to live together in peace, without needing a holocaust to bring us back to sanity. Blessed indeed are the peacemakers. They truly are the children of God.
