KILLER DOGS SHOCK SETTLERS

BESUT: For two months, FELDA Temang settlers have been puzzled over the disappearance oftheir 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 jungleabout 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.The settlers are also worried about their own safety. Some 30 of them are staying home for

fear of being attacked by the dogs.One settler, Zakaria Mat Noor, who witnessed his calf being attacked last week, said he wasafraid that the pack would attack humans. Zakaria, 43, said that the dogs should be eliminated atonce.

Another settler, Sulaiman Ibrahim, 72, said he lost 12 of his calves to the dogs.Our only hope is that the authorities will do something, he said.

Questions 26 31

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.

A scrapbook provides an ideal way of preserving personal andfamily histories. Enthusiasts claim that scrapbooks quite simplyprovide one of the best and most special ways of remembering thingsover long periods of time. In the past, making a scrapbook gave anychild a splendid way to spend a rainy afternoon. Filled with old 5photographs, used tickets, newspaper cuttings, magazine clippings andpostcards, the scrapbook brought together so many different memoriesto be cherished all in one place.

Today, the scrapbook has grown sophisticated. The new fashion for

scrapbooks began in the USA in the 1980s and spread to Britain in the 101990s from where it continues to spread to Europe today. Scrapbookshave caught on in France like nowhere else. Le Scrapbooking, as theFrench call their new pastime, is a far cry from the old-fashionedactivity of arranging family photos together with bits and bobs fromvarious outings and holidays. In chic Parisian circles, Le Scrap as 15smart 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 ancientGreeks first invented scrapbooks that used a kind of notebook called a

Hypomnemata to keep records of interesting things that they 20considered to be significant. Over the centuries, the idea of keeping apersonal record of events and experiences together with cherishedmementos continued in many different cultures. During the 18th and19th centuries, people from Europe and America often prepared apersonal account or scrapbook of their experiences and travels to show 25friends and relations. Some of the best-known American scrapbookerswere distinguished public figures such as Thomas Jefferson and MarkTwain.

More recently, the current wave of interest in scrapbooking began

in the 1980s in the USA as a way of embellishing and personalizing 30family photograph albums. A new craze for the hobby emerged whenschools and hobby classes encouraged people across the generationsto liven up old photograph albums by decorating them with stickers,stamps, dried flowers, lace and ribbons. In the USA, a leadingscrapbook magazine recently claimed that the hobby is now more 35popular than golf and is worth over US$ 2.5 billion a year!

Nevertheless, it is in France that scrapbooking has captured anentire nations collective imagination. Relatively unknown before the1990s, scrapbooking is a completely new social phenomenon inFrance. Today, there are about 50 French Internet sites selling 40scrapbook material with at least two schools devoted to the hobby and

a large number of workshops held to promote scrapbooking. Thehobby appeals to French women in particular and has given rise to thename les scrapbookeuses to describe such enthusiasts. Thesescrapbookers meet in their many thousands in the evenings and during 45weekends at newly-created associations and clubs all across thecountry.

Why have scrapbooks caught on so massively in France? Onereason may be due to the countrys long history of artistic creation.Another is the countrys 35-hour working week. This means that 50many French workers have more leisure time than their fellows inother countries. Whatever the reason, le scrapbookinghas explodedover the last three years and is continuing to grow.

While the Americans and French clearly adore scrapbooks, thisway of collecting and storing memories has a universal appeal to 55

people of all ages, cultures and interests. Home computing and theInternet now allow an entirely new generation to enjoy the pleasuresof creating their own scrapbooks. No matter what the format of ascrapbook may be like, all scrapbookers share the joy of creating theirown record of special events or experiences in their lives that they 60hope will bring joy and understanding to their descendants for decadesto come.
