This article deals with the disputed area on the borders of the Belgian Congo and Zambia, in Luapula Province.
Zambia's formal northern frontier boundary was legally signed in the Anglo-Belgian Treaty of 1894, long after the 1884 Berlin Conference. This showed that the triangle of land at the northwestern point of Eastern Rhodesia from Pweto to as far south as the Lunchinda River was under Northern Rhodesia even though the Belgian Congo had administered it for many years. Belgians administered it as a matter of local convenience under a gentleman's agreement. Much of this administration was facilitated by the Belgium missionary work in education and health, particularly the Roman Catholic Church and Greek fishermen who wanted more fishing points to supply the reported increase in demand for fish in the emerging mine town of Elizabethville (now Lubumbashi). Later, the Belgians wanted to claim this land. Over the years, during British colonial rule, District Commissioners and Provincial Commissioners were asked to provide information on the affected areas by central government authorities in Lusaka.
The real border issue for the Northern Frontier was reported to be on Lake Tanganyika's Cape Akalunga, mentioned in the treaty and described as the point of reference. In reality, officials had found it difficult to locate this cape. British maps show the boundary meeting at Cape Pungu (Chitankwa) whilst Belgian maps of 1955 show the meeting point at Cape Kipimbi which is far south of Cape Pungu, thereby cutting deep into assumed Northern Rhodesian territory.
During the time of the Central African Federation, the Northern-Rhodesian Federal government's Assistant Secretary Fraser, believed that there may be mineral deposits in Pweto area and therefore all the more need for the Federal Government to protect sovereignty. Weedens Minerals & Chartered Exploration held prospecting rights in that area. These have never been challenged. There is documentation that in 1936, Belgians had asked for 180 acres (730,000 m²) of Northern Rhodesian land apparently where Belgian colonial residences were built. However, no evidence exists that Britain conceded to this request. In 1957, A V Ellison, an official in the Ministry of Lands & Local Government reported to the Federal government of Northern Rhodesia that triangulation surveys had been made by the Anglo-Belgian Boundary Commission from 1911–1913, when eventually a de facto boundary for the northern frontier was agreed upon. That boundary clearly indicates that Pweto was the northwestern point of reference for the northern frontier.
In 1931 another British/Belgian Boundary Commission was set up. A Peake/Gendarme agreement was proposed. It was suggested that a meandering line following the watershed and thalwegs of the streams replace the straight line between Lake Mweru and Lake Tanganyika. This exchange was to favour Northern Rhodesia but was consequently rejected by the Belgians. In July 1958 Thomson, District Commissioner who visited Chief Puta's area, noted an influx of the populace from the area occupied by Belgians into Northern Rhodesia. They were running away from compulsory agricultural measures in Pweto's area. The fact is that these were not refugees in the sense we understand and apply the term today. They were resisting the brutal Belgium occupation, under which they had been left without British protection. Distance and cost was the simplest excuse that British authorities in Northern Rhodesia could offer for not protecting them. After all, apart from the mining companies, the British definition of its interests in Northern Rhodesia were at best ambivalent, apart from occupying a piece of real estate.
On 8 August 1958, a preparatory meeting for the Belgian government and the Federal Government of Rhodesia & Nyasaland to discuss the Northern Rhodesia/Congo boundary was convened. Present at the meeting representing Northern Rhodesian interests were:
Belgium interests in the north appeared to be fishing and hunting in the Lake Mweru region, and possession of Kilwa Island. A joint Mweru-Luapula fisheries agreement was made between Northern Rhodesia and Belgium Congo with regards to:
At this meeting, maps and plans of the areas concerned were discussed. Northern Rhodesia needed the Pedicle Road that connects Luapula Province to the Copperbelt. (The Pedicle is a wedge of Congolese territory that cuts deep into Zambia to give the country its distinctive butterfly shape.) Belgians were not interested in the road, but were using it as a bargaining tool for other border issues. The Federal Government initially wanted to put a railway through to Luapula as suggested by the Mufulira Copper Mines Ltd. To build a railway, however, meant the land had to be under Federal government control. Parry also saw the advantage of linking the Rhodesian railway system with that of the Congo. At this point in the colonial period, the rights of native inhabitants were considered insignificant and not worthy of consultation.
While the Federal Government wanted control over the pedicle, the Belgians wanted to swop territory in their favour. The meeting decided to propose the following:
However, no such swap actually took place in any formal treaty. The Mokambo pedicle remained Belgium Congo territory and yet they still occupied the northern frontier. In effect, a de facto occupation continued without their making any concession.
In the same year, 1958, D F Smith, District Assistant and a team of 11 Africans (2 of whom claimed to know where Cape Akalunga was) visited Mporokoso area to
He visited 11 villages. He met with Chief Mulilo who told him Cape Akalunga was near Chisenga River and had once been called Mutunga village. It had been under Congolese rule.
Notes on the Northern Frontier, from the Assistant Secretary to the Executive Council.
a) Belgians concern: Kilwa island, fishing and hunting rights in Lake Mweru area
b) British concern: Nkana trespass, Mokambo strip.
The Assistant Secretary felt that Northern Rhodesia had bargaining power with the northern frontier (the Mpweto line), which the Belgians were keen on. He proposed that the Anglo-Belgian Fisheries Advisory Board meet regularly to resolve each territory's fishing rights, to agree on African fishing methods, to agree that the Europeans buy the fish caught by the Africans (Greeks at Mpweto had in the past been doing large scale fishing and refused to buy excess fish from the Africans), to check legislation, and to look into the issue of Belgian Congo's desire to hunt crocodiles. The Assistant Secretary noted that the Belgians were uncooperative.
British Consulate General in Leopoldville wrote to the Federal Government Minister of External Affairs in Salisbury. He noted that as the frontier between Rhodesia and the Belgian Congo was situated in Lake Mweru and on the thalweg of the Luapula in a part of its course, it was appropriate for each of the riparian states to exercise their sovereign rights in the waters falling respectively under their jurisdiction.
The maps showed the frontier deviating from the centre of the Lake and passing to the west of Kilwa Island which, the Belgians said, was a peninsula attached to Belgian territory.
In the same year, 1958, Mr Bowles visited Brussels and discussed the border issues with M. Grosjean, Inspector General in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. No detailed records are available on this meeting, save to note that the frantic efforts between the British and Belgian authorities were taking place precisely at the time when the struggle for independence of the two states, particularly Congo, were getting intense. Congo gained independence in 1960; Northern Rhodesia got it four years later. In 1958 the British settlers were holding on to the territory and were keen to ensure that no land that they claimed to be theirs was surrendered to natives in the Congo.
Staff Sgt G F Tredwell, Provincial Commissioner for Northern province wrote that Cape Akalunga was north of the Libondwe River and a little south of the Chisenga stream. It was 2 miles in-shore from Lake Tanganyika. It has a valley where Headman Mutunga had a village many years ago, and it is believed that Chief Moliro had his headquarters there too. It was under Belgian administration.
Provincial Commissioner E L Button had, in response to a query about the boundary between Lake Mweru and Lake Tanganyika, commented thus: "Despite the rather nebulous nature of a common boundary, no administrative difficulties had been caused by it, and as such it would be better to let sleeping dogs lie." Nothing in diplomacy could be as irresponsible as this statement on the question of sovereignty over land, as the case of the submerging Kasikili/Sedudu island issue between Namibia and Botswana in recent years shows. In other words, this Briton was now quite happy to concede Zambian territory to the Congo as a matter of convenience when that was not the case when the British or their proxies were ruling the territory.
Acting Administrative Secretary wrote to the Governor of Northern Rhodesia. He informed the Governor that there were 4 enclaves that were under the Belgian administration, Mpweto- Lunchinda included. The residents were forced to carry Congolese identity cards and been fully subjected to Belgian rule. Chiefs who were living within the sphere of Belgian control provided tribal control.
There was a border incident on Luapula River, the details of which were not fully recorded. Since both Congo and Zambia had now gained independence, this incident was between two new republics dealing with an issue left over from the colonial period.
Education Minister John Mwanakatwe and Alex Shapi visited Mweru constituency. They were held at gunpoint and manhandled by the Congolese (Katangese) gendarmes after crossing the Lunchinda River at Chipungu. Despite explaining who they were, they were accused of being in Congolese territory. It was not until the following day that a senior Congolese official who spoke Chibemba saved them and apologised for their mistreatment. They crossed the Lunchinda in the knowledge that they were still in Zambian territory, as the maps showed. At this time, there was no clinic at Chipungu, so many Zambians sought medical facilities from the Congolese hospital at Mpweto. Even the Belgium Congolese franc was accepted currency in Chipungu area itself, as it was in Pweto. The fact was, Mwanakatwe was legitimately visiting his constituency, as far as the Zambian map showed.
Two English geologists, Dr Premoli and Dr Bratley, and 22 Zambians were to undertake geological investigations on the coast of Lake Tanganyika between Moliro and Nsumbu bay. They were arrested by the Congolese (Katangese) gendarme and their maps were confiscated. Congo was at war. The Zambian maps showed that this area was Zambian territory.
In Zambia, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Lands wrote to the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs giving reference to the Mpweto/Lake Tanganyika boundary. He pointed out that since the border was not clearly established, negotiation was necessary and suggested the setting of a Joint Boundary Commission.
The Surveyor General, D J B Copeland, in a letter dated 18 August 1966, recalled a boundary incident that had occurred in 1961. Surveyors sent by De Beers Prospecting Ltd had an incident near Mpweto with Congolese officials. The surveyors were accused of being in Congo territory and of illegally prospecting for Congolese gold in Moba territory. This confusion was caused by the following definition of the border.
The Police report showed that they had been arrested at the Chisenga River near Chipunelu.
The Congolese disputed air space and flying rights over Nippon Mining that had concession rights over Chipushi.
Foreign Affairs Assistant Secretary Lishomwa Muuka suggested the need for a boundary commission to discuss the dispute over:
He saw the need to clarify whether the point was Cape Akalunga or Cape Kipimbi. He wrote to the British High Commissioner for information on the true boundary, but was told there was none available, despite their having been discussions on the delimitation of the boundary in 1927 and 1933 . The British, it appeared had washed their hands of the issue and were not bothered at all if the two countries went to war over a border dispute which they had themselves defended for so many years.
We can at a quick glance conclude that this border issue is a part of a long rich legacy of Chienge District, as we now know it. Chienge is an area in the Northern part of Zambia, on the white shores of Lake Mweru. Lake Mweru, a fresh water lake was described by the famous Dr David Livingstone as a huge water body where 'a black wall of mountains frowned its western side, but elsewhere its banks were flat. The Lualaba, (sic Luapula) a broad deep stream flowed into its southern end and escaped at its northern extremity much enlarged in volume'. Livingstone visited the Lake Mweru area in 1867 during his search for the source of the Zambezi. He spent a night at Chief Kalembwe's village, some few kilometres from the tribal capital of now Senior Chief Puta of the Bwile people.
Following the 1889 Berlin conference and the ensuing Scramble for Africa by European powers, there was considerable interest by the Belgians, the Germans and the British in Southern and Central Africa to secure the area that covered the 4 Great Lakes namely, Lake Nyasa, Lake Mweru, Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria. In the early 1870s 2 Germans, Reichardt and Bohn, and later in 1878, a larger group of Germans led by Wissman had visited the area around Lake Mweru. The Belgians were already looking at colonising the Congo including the area south of Lake Mweru.
A young British employee of the Foreign Office by the name of Harry H. Johnston who travelled earlier in North Africa and saw the potential for expanding the British empire in Africa, wrote a moving article in the London newspaper introducing the infamous 'Cape to Cairo' concept that so many wrongly claim was Cecil Rhodes invention. His article was thought provoking, and as a result he was sent by the Foreign office to work in Southern Africa and set base with the African Lakes Company (ALC), which had its headquarters in Blantyre, Nyasaland (now Malawi). Scottish missionaries who were initially interested in stopping the slave trade by Arabs, and later engaged in trading with the locals had originally set up the African Lakes Company. Sir Harry Johnston, became Commissioner of the African Lakes Company, and immediately realized that he was going to have a hard time fulfilling the task given him by His Majesty's Government in Britain, namely:
The Foreign Office was unable to provide adequate funds for his administering of the area under British rule, and therefore Johnston had to turn to Cecil Rhodes, who was the Chairman of the British South Africa Company (BSAC), and struck up a working relationship with him. He implored Rhodes to support his work by providing financial support. This Rhodes willingly did in return for Johnston's representing the interests of the British South Africa Company in the areas that Johnston was to administer. Rhodes was interested in a future amalgamation with the African Lakes Company, as this would give the BSAC undisputed claim over Nyasaland. Rhodes thus fully funded the establishment of Johnston's administration. Johnston played a major role in subjecting the area later to be known as North Eastern Rhodesia (NER) under British Crown rule. Sir Johnston was also instrumental in the setting up of the first form of civil service in NER, and which was later improved by his successors Alfred Sharpe and later, Robert Codrington.
Based in Blantyre, Sir Johnston was concerned about the influence of the Belgians and Germans in the Congo Free State north of Lake Mweru. He was aware that the 2 German expeditions had visited the area in the 1870s and that both were keen to take control of the area. In order to show British administrative authority and determination to prevent the absorption of NER by the Belgians or Germans, Sir Johnston decided to send a former hunter and now agent of the African Lakes Company, Richard Crawshay, to set up a permanent post on the shores of Lake Mweru in 1890. Crawshay found a spot at Puta, where Chienge stream enters Lake Mweru and set up residence there. The area north of Puta at Mpweto in the Congo Free State was under the administrative control of a Belgian named Captain Jacques. Although the Berlin Conference had more or less divided Africa up by colonial powers, there were no distinct boundaries between Congo Free State and North Eastern Rhodesia. As the Germans had shifted their interest to Tanganyika and Zanzibar where they had set posts, Sir Johnston therefore decided to meet with the only real threat, the Belgian administrator Captain Jacques, and together they agreed on a boundary that would be a line running from the northern tip end of Lake Mweru where the Lualaba leaves Lake Mweru to Cape Akalunga on Lake Tanganyika. This understanding while respected by the establishment of Chienge post, it was not formalised until four years later. The formal agreements on the boundary between the Congo Free State under King Leopold of Belgium and the British Crown of King George represented by Sir Johnston through the African Lakes Company was finalised and signed on 12 May 1894.
Having secured the British post, and boundary, Sir Johnston chose to change the name of Puta and instead called Puta station Rhodesia, after his colleague and financial mentor Cecil Rhodes, also making it the first place historically to bear that name. Crawshay stayed at Rhodesia from 1890 to 1891 when he abandoned the station and returned to Blantyre in Nyasaland.
The peoples living under the administrative control of the Africa Lakes Company in the Lake Mweru region included the Ba Bwile or Ba Ansa under Chiefs Mpweto, Puta, Kalembwe, and Mwabu. Their neighbours to the west were the Shila under Chief Mununga, Nkula and Nshimba, there were to the South the Swahili and the Tabwa under Nsama and Katele. There were also regular visits from the Arabs of the east coast of Africa who were involved in trading in guns, gunpowder, and slaves. For the African Lakes Company, the most important posts were Abercorn on the shores of Lake Tanganyika and Rhodesia on Lake Mweru's shores, but of similar importance were Sumbu and Kaputa. The people of Kaputa specialized in salt making and bought food from more fertile areas. Johnston was concerned that Crawshay had left the Rhodesia station hastily, and asked Cecil Rhodes to fund a special tour of the area by his second in command to assess the situation there. Cecil Rhodes obliged and Alfred Sharpe, Johnston's second in command undertook a tour of the area.
When Alfred Sharpe toured the major posts in the Lake Mweru region including Rhodesia (Puta post) and Kaputa, he found that Abdullah bin Suleiman, (known by locals as Selemani) a Swahili chief who lived 60 miles from Kalungwishi, had driven out the people there and was demanding salt tribute from other villages. There was also evidence of slave traders harassing the inhabitants mercilessly. On his return to Blantyre, Sharpe gave a detailed report to Johnston. Sir Johnston decided to reopen the station and sent 2 agents, Kidd and Bainbridge to take control of Rhodesia and continue to show British administrative authority. However, Kidd and Bainbridge did not go to Rhodesia, but instead built a new post at Kafulwe some twenty kilometres from the Puta post on the shores of the Kalungwishi river where it crossed the old road to Kazembe, some 3 miles east off Lake Mweru. They decided to adopt the name of Rhodesia for this post as well, seeing as the old post had been abandoned. Kidd and Bainbridge remained at their new post until 1894 when they both died. It was rumoured that they were poisoned. The local people during this time were given protection by the collector at Rhodesia against the Arabs. Mkula, also known as Nsama after his father, and 4 African soldiers were recruited to assist the collector.
In 1896, Hubert T. Harrington, locally known as Chiana, was given charge over Mweru district. He was transferred where Dr Blair Watson was in charge as collector. Harrington described Kalungwishi as a strongly built Boma with four bastions. Beneath its flagstones were buried Kidd and Bainbridge. He built a barge called the Scotia or Mandala boat, which was written off in 1919 and abandoned at Chienge in 1922. The Boat used to travel between Chienge and Kilwa Island. There is oral evidence that Hube Harrington was a relation of the famous Harrington family that settled in the Western province of Zambia and are accredited with the skills of building the first Nalikwanda, the boat of the Litunga of the Balozi. In 1899, Nasoro bin Suleiman, nicknamed Chisesa and a cousin to Abdullah bin Suleiman, was harassing the Ba Bwile and Shila peoples. Harrington arrested Abdullah bin Suleiman and kept him in Kalungwishi prison.
The Rhodesia station was closed after the death of Kidd and Bainbridge and was not reopened until 1907, possibly due to lack of staff. The station was returned to its original post at Puta, Chienge as a Boma. The collectors who reopened this Boma were J. F. Sealy and GT Wenham and they stayed there for the next 3 years. In 1908 the station was temporarily closed due to tsetse flies. In 1909 - 10, Dr JD Brunton, Dr WG Jollyman were sent by Alfred Sharpe to Chienge to help with the sleeping sickness campaign.
The following are the administrators that manned the Chienge Boma thereafter:
1910 S Hillier 1912 G H Jones 1917 PCJ Reardon and wife (January) Reardon went mad and ended up in an asylum. 1917 VR Anley and wife (August) 1918 ACJ Elworthy (October) 1919 S Hillier (December) 1920 Matthews (March) 1920 CP Oldfield (September) 1922 Wickins and wife (April) In November 1922, the station was closed due to lack of funds. In April 1925 G H Morton reopened the station
1926 FO Hoare (December) 1927 G H Morton (October) He went mad and was sent to Cape Town asylum 1929 FO Hoare (January) 1929 March, Hoare contracted black water fever and died at Kafulwe on his way to Kawambwa. 1929 JB Thomson (June) 1930 SL Langford (January) 1932 EGF Thomson (March) 1932 SL Langford (September) In 1933, the Chienge station was closed for lack of staff and funds and the lake Mweru region was amalgamated with Mporokoso.
In 1941, the African Lakes Company surveyed 2010 acres (8 km²) of land in Chienge. The ALC had a farm at Chienge where it was said that there were traces of Copper. The District was geologically surveyed by Luangwa concessions, a mining company but they retained no claims and no mines were opened.
Two Seventh Day Adventists Ellingworth and Lewis, missionaries from Chimpempe, visited Ponde mission, which was established in 1933 originally at Kalembwe. They drowned in Lake Mweru and were buried at Ponde on 31.8.1952.
Chienge was after 1933 administered from Mporokoso, later from Kawambwa and in the 1970s, Nchelenge. The current Senior Chief Puta (Kasoma) was christened as Hillier after the administrator Mr S Hillier. Senior Chief Puta Kasoma was born in 1910 and installed as Chief Puta in 1937 after the death of Puta Mulolwa.
Chienge was re-established as a sub-Boma in 1973 under the Kaunda UNIP government's administration.
Before the end of the first term of President Frederick J.T. Chiluba's MMD government, a quiet but effective lobby for Chienge to become a full District was mounted Dr Katele Kalumba a nominated member of Parliament and Deputy Minister of Health from November 1991 to May 1996 and full Cabinet Minister of Health thereafter, paid off. Dr Kalumba motives were clear. He had an eye, since joining government, on standing as a Parliamentary candidate for Chienge. A Circular No. 25/96 issued by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local government and Housing dated 30 October 1996 declared Chienge a new District Council pursuant to Section 3 of the Local Government Act No. 22 of 1996. At the time, Bennie Mwiinga was a Minister of Local government and Housing.
The narrative following the 12–13 December 1996 Nchelenge Council meeting defined the new Chienge as the area 'Starting from the mouth of Kefulwa River on the Lake Mweru, the boundary follows the Kefulwa river in a straight line up to the confluence of Kasinga stream. The Boundary runs in a straight line in the north-easterly direction up to where it meets the Kapako stream; thence the boundary runs in the northerly direction along the stream up to where it meets the Kaputa-Nchelenge administrative boundary; thence it follows along the Kaputa-Nchelenge administrative boundary in the northerly direction up to the Zambia-Zaire international boundary; thence the boundary continues in the westerly direction from the Musungwishi river along the Kaputa-Nchelenge administrative boundary; then it runs in a straight line along the Zambia-Zaire international boundary up to the mouth of Lualaba river where it flows out of lake Mweru. The boundary thence follows the Zambia-Zaire international boundary along the lake Mweru up to the mouth of Kefulwa River, the point of starting".
Chienge was re-born again after 106 years of its first opening. It was inaugurated on Friday the 20 December 1996 witnessed by the newly elected Member of Parliament for Chienge and Minister of Health Dr Katele Kalumba and scores of Party and Government officials. Sitting as a councillor of Chienge, Dr Kalumba, accompanied by the Commissioner of Town and Country Planning in the Ministry of Local Government Dr Khonje, the Director of Health Planning and Development, Mr Vincent Musowe of the Ministry of Health, and presided over by Mr T.S. Phiri, Council Secretary for Nchelenge, witnessed the election of Mr Mwanda of Senior Chief Puta's area as the first Council Chairman of the new Chienge, while Mr Bowa from Senior Chief Mununga's area was his Vice Chairman.

said band being positionable around the crown of a hat of a user,
a tie string being mounted around the other end of said screening for snugly fastening said other end around the neck of the user,
a strip of pliable material attached to said band at said one end to extend outwardly of said band and inwardly thereof over a part of said band and said screening,
said material being provided with spaced fold lines extending longitudinally of its length for aiding in folding it over on itself with the veil folded and lying along one of its surfaces,
whereby when said screening is folded laterally thereof to the length of said material and then longitudinally thereof to lie over at least a part of said material, said material then may be folded over said screening along said fold lines to form an overlapping covering therefor, and
a fastening means secured to another side of said material for detachably interconnecting the overlapped portions of said material to form a packet for said veil.
2. The head screen set forth in claim 1 wherein:
said material is formed integral with said band and said one end of said screening.
This invention relates to portable head screens or netting adapted to be slipped over the hat of the wearer so as to protect his head from mosquitos or similar insects. Heretofore, head screens have been known but none has been particularly designed to be easily rolled or folded up into an integral storage packet or envelope forming a part of the device.
U.S. Pat. No. 336,712 discloses a head screen consisting of an elastic or non-elastic band at its upper edge, an elastic or non-elastic band at a little distance from its lower edge, and a flexible series of weights along its lower edge.
U.S. Pat. No. 473,599 discloses a portable mosquito-net adapted to be slipped over the hat to protect the head of the wearer.
U.S. Pat. No. 876,452 discloses a head screen comprising a cap having a flaring semi-rigid visor around its lower edge, a concave-convex wire face protector connected to and depending from the cap, and a two part mosquito netting connected to a suitable binding secured to the edges of the face mask.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,582,989 discloses a bee-keepers suit having an upstanding collar and a veil having a hole through which the head is inserted. The hole is surrounded by an elastic band and the exterior of the collar carries a downwardly-facing ledge beneath which the elastic band engages to form a closure between the veil and suit collar. The ledge may be a strip of foamed material secured to the collar by a Velcro fastener.
None of the above patents disclose a head protector which may be easily rolled up and stored in its integral packet or envelope so that it may be carried by an outdoorsman and easily used when needed.
In accordance with the invention claimed, a new and improved head screen for the outdoor enthusiast is provided which is so conceived and designed that it may be easily rolled or folded up on itself and stored in a packet or envelope forming an integral part thereof while still fitting on or to a variety of caps of the wearers.
It is, therefore, one object of this invention to provide a new and improved portable head screen for attaching to the hat of the wearer.
Another object of this invention is to provide a new and improved portable head screen that embodies an integral packet or envelope for storing the head screen when not in use.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the following description proceeds and the features of novelty which characterize this invention will be pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this specification.
The present invention may be more readily described by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the head screen device mounted on a wearer and embodying the invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing the hat engaging rim of the device in its expanded condition and the integral packet or storage envelope of the device;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view similar to that shown in FIG. 2 of the hat engaging rim of the device in its contracted position;
FIG. 4 is a partial plan view of the back of the device shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrating the fold lines of the packet;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the head screen device shown in FIGS. 1-4 in partially rolled up condition;
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the head screen device shown in FIG. 5 in its stored condition with the device in its integral storing packet;
FIG. 7 is a perspective view similar to FIG. 6 showing a snap closure for the packet; and
FIG. 8 is a perspective view similar to FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrating that the packet may be closed by a Velcro fastener.
Referring more particularly to the drawing by characters of reference, FIG. 1 discloses a single piece head screen or device 10 for fitting around the crown 11 of a hat 12 of a wearer 13. The device comprises an elastic band 14 at its upper edge which is intended to be expanded as shown in FIG. 2 and then placed around the crown 11 of the cap or hat 12 of the wearer where it is permitted to contract to snugly fit thereon. The cap or hat 12 may be of substantially any style or material and may or may not have a rim or visor and still satisfactorily support the device claimed.
The mask or head protector 15 of device 10 comprises a fine mesh screen formed of a plastic material which may be easily and repetitively rolled or folded up without damaging the mesh size or material from which it is formed.
A suitable binding 16 may be placed around the lower edge of the mesh material with a tie string 17 loosely fitting into the binding which may be pulled to gather the binding tightly around the neck of the wearer in the usual manner to prevent insects from getting under the netting.
In accordance with the teachings of this invention, an envelope or packet 18 is attached to the upper edge 19 of netting 15 to form an integral part of device 10. This packet forms a storage covering for the other parts of device 10 when it is not in use. The packet is formed of a pliable piece of flat material 18A which may be easily folded along the fold lines 20 and 21 to readily receive in its later formed packet interior the netting 15 of the device.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, material 18A of the packet 18 forms a wide band at the top of the netting against and over which the netting 15 may be rolled or folded in the manner shown in FIG. 5. To fold the netting for storage, it is first folded over onto itself longitudinally thereof until it has a width substantially the width of material 18A. The material of the netting is then folded longitudinally of itself in the manner shown in FIG. 5 until it folds up and lies over material 18A.
FIG. 6 illustrates that when the netting is folded over onto itself the three parts 18A', 18A" and 18A'" form a packet or open ended envelope which surrounds the netting to protect it from being destroyed by other items such as fishing gear if the packet is stored in a fishing box.
FIG. 7 illustrates that a known snap clasp 22 may be used to keep the packet closed. As shown in FIG. 7, the portion 18' of the packet material may have its edges trimmed off to form an envelope-like flap 18B.
FIG. 8 illustrates that the packet 18 shown in FIG. 6 may be detachably closed by the use of a Velcro connector comprising its engaging parts 23 and 24 mounted on the inside surfaces of part 18A and the outside surface of part 18A'".
Thus, an inexpensive portable collapsible head screen is disclosed which comprises a flat piece of material forming a band partially surrounding the crown of the hat when in use. When the device is collapsed and rolled up the material forms the parts of the packet which surrounds and holds the device in a storage condition.

What amazing tree is this?
blackbeantreeApril 1, 2014
These trees are prominent all around Brisbane, Australia at the moment. The red are the seed pods after yellow flowers. A bit straggly at times but sometimes magnificent. What country do we have to thank for these? I'm sure they're not native to Australia.
SusanC(9b/10a Sunset 17)
Classified as an environmental weed in south-eastern Queensland.
Here is a link that might be useful: Koelreuteria in Brisbane
Native to east asia - parts of china and korea. Massively messy from copious seed fall to leaf litter fall (semi deciduous). And invasive. However, there are many areas where they have been used exclusively as footpath plantings by developers on construction of residential canal estates in Gold Coast.

Click here to register today for Summer Camp 2015!
Camping, like many Y programs, is about learning skills, developing character and making friends. But few environments are as special as camp, where kids become a community as they learn both how to be more independent and how to contribute to a group as they engage in physical, social and educational activities.
From traditional to specialty, here are the camp programs we are offering at our Y branches across the region. Be sure to sign up early (before space runs out in your camper's favorite program!).
Our 2015 Camp Brochure
all about the bowie Y
Our Foundation
Children are like sponges – they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. That's why our youth development programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids.
Our Programs
YMCA Prince George's County is a full-service child care facility serving children ages 6 weeks through 15 years old. We offer comprehensive pre-school, before and after school, infant care and day camp programs. At our Y, babies develop trust and security, preschoolers experience early literacy and learn about their world, and school-age kids make friends, learn new skills and do homework. Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves. That makes for confident kids today, and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
YMCA Birthday Parties
Celebrate your child's next birthday the YMCA way! YMCA Prince George's County offers exciting birthday parties for children of all ages in a wide variety of themes, from cartoon characters to action figures to sports teams. All parties will be led by a YMCA staff member. All you have to do is pick a theme and watch your child and their friends have a blast! Themes include Mad Science, Dazzling Divas, Arts and Crafts, Classic, Sports & Games, and more.

My sense coming out of the discussion was that Hungary has found itself in an unexpected place; in the multi-party system that emerged after the collapse of the USSR, no one expected any one party to achieve the 2/3 super-majority alone so no one expected a single party to succeed in changing the constitution to their own benefit.

Obama promotes latest infrastructure stimulus proposal by offering up plenty of bricks at Easter Egg Roll shootaround
**Written by Doug Powers
We're often told that President Obama is a good basketball player, so that must mean this performance was instead designed to promote the administration's $21 billion stimulus proposal for infrastructure. After all, when you're trying to get everybody on board your latest plan re-build America from the ground up, get their minds on bricks:
And then it began. A series of painful misses and air balls.
After six more failed free throws, Obama traded balls. After 10 misses, he moved in closer. After 11, he tried a few layups.
After the president missed 13 shots in a row from various distances, 10-year old Kahron Campbell stepped in to help.
Campbell made the layup on his first try.
Then, finally, on his 18th attempt of the morning, the president made his layup.
"He couldn't make one. I had to help him out," Campbell later told pool reporters (off-camera).
Obama tried several more outside shots, finally hitting from the baseline on his 22nd total attempt, before leaving the court.
Obama's nine percent shooting performance explained:
"The president doesn't get to practice probably as much as he'd like to," Carney said.
If somebody would put in a basketball court on the golf course maybe we could solve this problem. But I'm surprised and a little disappointed that Carney didn't think of the "brick/infrastructure" excuse.
Roll tape on the Brick-O-Tron:
Layup GIF by way of Weasel Zippers and sponsored by Solyndra and the Affordable Care Act:
The White House later had Reggie Love's replacement as Obama's right hand man, Billy Hoyle, check the hoop specs and it turned out the problem wasn't with the president's shot — there were issues with the basket (language warning).

Technicians arrive at homes ready to move any furniture or traffic cones currently being used to shelter stains, before unleashing steam-cleaning equipment to dislodge dirt from clinging fibers. Afterward, cleaned carpets are ready to be re-trod upon in two to three hours. Customers can schedule appointments online, preserving the dignity of carpets, which would rather not overhear owners referring to them as "dirty" on the phone.1200 Capital View DriveHyattsville, MD US

Homeowners may also solicit the company's housecleaning services for routine cleanings or a one-time cleanup after a birthday celebration, anniversary gathering, or tomato-smashing party.7009 Migliori CourtDistrict Heights, MD US
American Capital CleaningRead MoreWhether you're resting in a mountain cabin, traveling through a city, or being vented out an airlock into outer space, dust is all around you. Microscopic particles—usually a combination of soil, pollen, skin cells, and minerals—can pile up quickly indoors. The problem is exacerbated by tiny creatures called dust mites, which gather in groups of 100 to 500 per gram of dust to devour flakes of human skin while multiplying in number, excreting waste, and probably chittering away. No matter where you are on Earth, a mote of dust is presently traveling straight toward your eye, thanks to the persistent creation of dust in almost any climate humans inhabit. Even beyond our planet, dust is ubiquitous: astronomers face the universe's untidiness every time they peer through a telescope and find formations of cosmic dust, which absorb the visible light around them. Although it comes from exploding stars rather than flaky humans, space dust isn't so different from the domestic variety: a 2007 paper published in IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science explored the similarities between the formation of dust bunnies under beds and the coagulation of space dust into planets.1300 Mercantile LnUpper Marlboro, MD US
Maid American StyleRead MoreWhile most cleaning companies are content to leave floors clean enough to eat off of, the team from L & S Maid Service strives to leave them safe to eat off of as well. These cleaners wipe away dust with microfiber cloths, polish surfaces with Green Seal?certified products, and use HEPA-filter vacuums to clean up after the kids leave a trail of breadcrumbs to remember how to get to the kitchen.

Elite Cleaning ServicesRead MoreElite Cleaning Services' staffers spend between two and three hours scrubbing each DC-metro-area home they visit during their convenient Monday–Saturday workweek. Professional grime eradicators descend on cluttered homes at appointed times between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., dusting knickknacks and sweeping, mopping, or vacuuming floors besmirched by foot traffic or one to three Stooge houseguests. Workers take special care to sanitize kitchen fixtures and bathroom furnishings, and leave kitchen-appliance surfaces looking polished and magazine-shoot ready. For smoothest service, Elite recommends that clients leave staffers a list of cleaning preferences and items that they shouldn't touch, stack fresh linens on the beds, and clean up any scattered toys, clothes, and flesh-eating chupacabras lying around.2722 Connecticut Ave NWWashington, DC US

Breck Shampoo?
Does anyone know if any stores still sell BRECK Shampoo??
I was on on another site that had gals listing nostalgic items. and I remembered my Breck Shampoo from the "olden days". Gosh...I'd sure love to smell that shampoo again, and use it! ;-)
I have seen in on eBay in large quantities...but where do they get it?
Anyone know, please??
Check The Vermont Country Store website. I thought I saw it in their catalog.
Here is a link that might be useful: Vermont Country Store
The last time I was at a $ store they had a lot of Breck items still and I've been seeing Breck at $ stores for ages so maybe they are just selling at $ Tree and others $1 stores? I don't know if it's the same scent that you remember or even if it still has the same ingredients but it's worth a try.

Whatcom County voters appeared to send a message against coal trains in Tuesday's election.
All four county-council candidates who are believed to oppose a controversial proposed coal-export facility there were leading in competitive council races — including two challengers who looked to be on their way to toppling incumbents.
Challengers Barry Buchanan and Rud Browne took 55 percent and 54 percent of the first votes, respectively. Two incumbents thought to oppose the proposal, Carl Weimer and Ken Mann, were at 57 percent and 56 percent over their opponents.
The council is currently seen as slightly favorable to the facility, so flipping the two seats could make a difference if the proposal comes up in the future.
- WSU study: 'Exploding head syndrome' more common than once thought
- McMorris Rodgers should ask hometown folks about Obamacare
- Oregon Zoo elephant Rama euthanized; loved to paint
- Seattle congestion: We're No. 5
- Ivar's to raise restaurant workers' wages to $15 right away
Most Read Stories
The initial returns included more than 41,000 votes.
The election was widely seen as a referendum on the proposal — even though none of the candidates disclosed positions on it, citing the quasi-judicial duties of the council.
Proposal supporters and opponents gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the elections.
Environmentalists gave to the quartet that won, while coal companies sought to help four others — incumbents Kathy Kershner and Bill Knutzen and challengers Ben Elenbaas and Michelle Luke.

Republican outreach to Hispanics is far from hopeless. Obama refused to press for comprehensive immigration reform when he had the votes, and Latino voters know it. They oppose the administration's policy of quickened deportations by a margin of 2-to-1. They share the same concerns on unemployment, deficits and government spending as other voters.
The contest for Latino support reveals the broader dynamic of the election. The incumbent is weak. But so, on key issues, is the challenger. Instead of a clash of titans, it is a contest of the wounded.
Commentators tend to exaggerate current trends, so Obama is now generally viewed as invincible. But his Gallup approval remains south of 50 percent – a traditional indicator of vulnerability. Majorities disapprove of Obama's job performance on the economy, on the federal debt, on job creation and on health care. When is the last time a Democrat was so feeble on the health issue? Americans overwhelmingly believe the country is on the wrong track. Obama is essentially tied with a generic Republican opponent.
But Romney, who speaks politics awkwardly, now faces his largest political task: He must be something more than a generic Republican.

Debian Wants To Work With Its Offspring (Ubuntu)
Published on 13 July 2012 08:39 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
9 Comments
Earlier this week at DebConf there was a discussion about Debian derivatives so that Debian's offspring could share their experiences and also for the Debian developers to share various derivative-related initiatives. Some friction between Debian and distributions based upon it (namely Ubuntu) were exposed.
Here's a list of some of the prominent items brought up during this
DebConf 12
BoF from Managua, Nicaragua:
- Ubuntu for a while now has been working on AppArmor integration, as one of their security efforts, which the Debian developers are interested in pulling back upstream. However, they need developers to work on it and hope that Canonical would help out too. The Debian AppArmor support and other features would be a feature for "Wheezy + 1" due to Wheezy now being in its code freeze period.
- Likewise,
Ubuntu has been working on UEFI support
. Debian developers hope that some of the Canonical/Ubuntu work here will end up back upstream in Debian. Although as far as UEFI SecureBoot for Debian is concerned,
Debian developers aren't sure what to do
- Canonical remains unwilling to support PPAs (Personal Package Archives) via Launchpad for Debian, but only Ubuntu. Canonical's reasoning for not supporting the building of PPAs on upstream Debian is that it's an expensive service to operate.
- There's been some friction with upstream Debian due to not accepting some things, e.g.
dpkg lzip package support
this original bug report
- It's been hard to get fixes in Debian stable due to "the culture of maintainers not caring about stable."
- Some developers are scared of Debian mentors since they seem "scary" or just slow to respond.
Some of the work that Debian is doing to help its offspring include:
Debian Derivatives Front Desk
for helping these other Linux distributions to contribute their changes back into Debian.
as a means of improving Debian and its derivatives through cross-community teamwork.
- The
Debian Derivatives Census
to collect useful information for Debian developers.
- There's a
Debian Derivatives Guideline
to help out distributions based upon Debian.

Updated and expanded, this invaluable reference book was originally written as an aid for those disadvantaged by the deteriorating standing of Latin in our education system and by its use as legal terminology. Professional and comprehensive, yet lighthearted, it is immensely readable and has assumed a readership far beyond the lawyers for whom it was primarily designed to assist. All those interested in or curious about Latin may like to dip in to discover such particularly succinct phrases as uberrimae fidei (of the utmost [good] faith), in tenebris (in the dark), doli capax (capable, legally, of wrong or fraud) or mala fide (in bad faith). Few learn Latin in school and young lawyers with minimal knowledge of the language will experience considerable difficulty as they continue to meet it, particularly in old reported cases, academic articles, statutes and in decisions of EC institutions and even falling from the lips of renegade judges. When Latin brings progress and comprehension to a halt, what then? Reach for "Lawyers' Latin".
John Gray was born in 1938. Educated at Tonbridge School, he read law at Brasenose College, Oxford. Called to the Bar in 1962, he was an Inner Temple major scholar from 1962 - 5 and practised at the Common Law Bar for over thirty years, sitting as a recorder from 1984 to 1994 when he left the Bar to change direction; to write, attend his garden and indulge a life-long interest in wood. He is married with three grown-up children and lives near Ashford in Kent.

Creams, whites, ivory, and a touch of blue
Maybe beadboard in hall bath.
Hot tip: Keep a light touch with the floral prints. It's fine to mix and match a few, but too many can feel overly sweet, especially if they're all small scale. Ditto for lace — you don't want your house to look like a bridal shop.
Love the old mirror
Here's the key to making collections work: power in numbers. And that's especially true for the flea market finds and vintage castoffs that tend to populate cottage-style rooms. If they look too scattered, so will the space. Massed together, these glass bottles have a collective impact.
Like the clean counters
