KILLER DOGS SHOCK SETTLERS
D Unless
BESUT: For two months, FELDA Temang settlers have been puzzled over the disappearance of
their live stock at the oil palm plantation in the settlement.
They put the blame on panthers, which had been spotted by hunters at a nearby jungle
about a year ago but it wasnt the panthers that did the killing.
The settlers were dumbfounded when they discovered that the culprit was a pack of dogs.
The dogs have been attacking cattle, especially calves. So far, some 80 cattle have died,
causing losses of up to RM 50,000.

Questions 26 31

Today, the scrapbook has grown sophisticated. The new fashion for
scrapbooks began in the USA in the 1980s and spread to Britain in the
1990s from where it continues to spread to Europe today. Scrapbooks
have caught on in France like nowhere else. Le Scrapbooking, as the
French call their new pastime, is a far cry from the old-fashioned
activity of arranging family photos together with bits and bobs from
various outings and holidays. In chic Parisian circles, Le Scrap as
smart trendsetters prefer to call it is all about displaying artistic flair,
expensive taste and a great deal of social one-upmanship.
However, the idea of a scrapbook is far from new. The ancient
Greeks first invented scrapbooks that used a kind of notebook called a
Hypomnemata to keep records of interesting things that they
considered to be significant. Over the centuries, the idea of keeping a
personal record of events and experiences together with cherished
mementos continued in many different cultures. During the 18th and
19th centuries, people from Europe and America often prepared a
personal account or scrapbook of their experiences and travels to show
friends and relations. Some of the best-known American scrapbookers
were distinguished public figures such as Thomas Jefferson and Mark
Twain.
More recently, the current wave of interest in scrapbooking began
in the 1980s in the USA as a way of embellishing and personalizing
family photograph albums. A new craze for the hobby emerged when
schools and hobby classes encouraged people across the generations
to liven up old photograph albums by decorating them with stickers,
stamps, dried flowers, lace and ribbons. In the USA, a leading
scrapbook magazine recently claimed that the hobby is now more
popular than golf and is worth over US$ 2.5 billion a year!
Nevertheless, it is in France that scrapbooking has captured an
entire nations collective imagination. Relatively unknown before the
1990s, scrapbooking is a completely new social phenomenon in
France. Today, there are about 50 French Internet sites selling
scrapbook material with at least two schools devoted to the hobby and
a large number of workshops held to promote scrapbooking. The
hobby appeals to French women in particular and has given rise to the
name les scrapbookeuses to describe such enthusiasts. These
scrapbookers meet in their many thousands in the evenings and during
weekends at newly-created associations and clubs all across the
country.
