Information office and radio broadcaster Dutch New Guinea. For months Asmath-Papuans in the men's house edit a tree trunk with primitive stones and shards of shells, until a "BISJ pole" originated. This bisj pole (a sign of fertility) is established in the village; Men armed with arrow and bow shoot the spirits around the pole, and then the pole is thrown into a Sago swamp to make the swamp fertile. During the manufacture of the pole, it is carefully hidden in the men's house and covered with branches and leaves, because women cannot take a look (South New Guinea). November 1955. New Guinea
