"All of us on the island are Seventh Day Adventists," Christian said. "No alcohol is allowed on the -island. There is no dancing or gambling or anything. There hasn't been a murder on the island since 1897 and we don't have any crime there now at aD." When the people feel the urge to leave, "where do they go?" "Some go to Australia and New Zealand, usually as carpenters, because most of. our people are expert wood carvers," he said.

It's quiet and almost enough to drive the young people away.

From the 15o' residents who lived a few years ago on Pit-cairn's two square 'miles in the South Pacific the smallest colony in the British Empire the number in 1967 has fallen to about 90. "A lot of our young people feel too isolated on Pitcairn and they leave," explained Thomas Colman Christian, 31, a great-great-great grandson of Fletcher Christian. Won't Lose More Now in New York studying broadcasting techniques, Christian said, however, "I think the emigration has tapered off and we won't be losing any more of our people." Christian, who runs a small radio station at home, is a mixture of British and Tahitian stock, as are the other Pitcairn people whose ancestors were the nine British mutineers from the Bounty, their Tahitian wives and a few Tahitian men who came to the uninhabited island in 1790. It is now self-governing, but under the over-all administration of Fiji. Leisure activities, Christian said, consist mainly of movies twice a week in the meeting house and gardening.

The aver-' age yearly income is $600, enough to live on, he said, but not enough to allow much saving. Besides, there are no banks on Pitcairn.

Often they have to chase off children as well as crows, parrots' and squirrels. According to government rule, anyone can help himself to berries which fall to the ground.

But once the contractor has collected the berries, no one else can touch them. The contractors can shake the trees, but they cannot disfigure them or pull off branches. The berries are called Jamun by the Indians and a professor at Delhi University says their botanical name is Eugenia Shakers Indian Capital Contract for Fruit By JOE MCGOWAN NEW DELHI, India (AP) Torty years ago the British decided to plant in the new Indian capital trees that would not only offer shade but also would provide nourishment. The idea gave birth to New Delhi's berry-tree shakers. The trees today line the city's downtown avenues and residential streets, often form ing arches overlapping at the center of the streets.

Late each summer their berries ripen and with the morisoorfrains they begin falling to the ground. The sweet berries are considered a delicacy by Indians and if controls were not established, the rush to gather them might turn into chaos. So the government, which technically owns the trees, "leases" them to berry pickers. A family of peasants will pay several rupees per tree and usually will contract for the right to all the trees along one block of a given street. When the word spreads that the berries are nearly ripe, the berry pickers and their families Starts As the Williamstown Theatre nears the end of its most successful season to date (last week's production of "Saint Joan played to- 94 per cent capacity) executive director Nikos Psacharopoulos took a day off on Monday to travel to New York and sign his contract to direct Jack Beeson's opera "Lizzy Borden" for the New York City Opera this fall.

Mr. Psacharopoulos directed the premiere of the work several years ago when the opera company was performing at the City Center. He will now be redirecting the production for the larger stage at the New York SJate Theatre, which is now the home of the New York City Opera. "Lizzy Borden" will begin rehearsals in mid-December and will join the opera repertory in early October. This week the Williamstown Theatre is presenting a return engagement of the comedy, "Luv." The show was directed by Mr.

Psacharopoulos earlier this season and was completely sold out during its first run. Next week the theatre will close its season with the msuical comedy, "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum."

All were released. The federal statute of limitations expired Monday, five years to the day after a gang armed with machine guns held up a U.S. mail truck near Plymouth. Wyzanski refused to allow more than 10 days for filing of special pleas, telling defense counsel Joseph Balliro he had ample time to familiarize himself wjth the case. Balliro appeared for all defendants, but told the court that F.

Lee Bailey would represent Richards and Kelley at the trial. Balliro said Bailey was not able to attend today because he was at a trial in Suffolk County. All three defendants sat calmly through the arraignment, standing to tell the judge they were familiar with wording of the indictments.
