SRI LANKA NEWS IN BRIEF – JUNE 2018 – Compiled by Victor Melder Consultant, Medical Nutritionist, Medical Research Institute Dr. Renuka Jayatissa addressing a forum recently said the serious repercussions of low local milk consumption, compounded by low production resulting in insufficient quantum to meet demand, resulted in alarming health issues. Malnutrition, in pregnant women, as a result of not consuming sufficient milk during pregnancy was the primary cause of stunting. Although breast feeding infants was recommended, because of low milk consumption they depended on milk substitutes, which, she said, was not the alternative to breast feeding. ‘Fresh milk consumption was essential to build energy and sustain healthy growth.

GREGORY PECK & “PEYAWA” – By Victor Melder In 1953 my father, Randolph (Rando) Melder, was stationed as Driver, CGR in Kadugannawa. We occupied a ‘Railway Bungalow’, besides the rail tracks bordering the Kadugannawa – Pothupitiya Road. A rail gate was situated by our home too. In early 1954 the movie “Purple Plain” was on location in Sri Lanka and much of the filming was done at Kadugannawa, at the outskirts of the town, on the Colombo – Kandy Road (Peradeniya end). An entire Burmese village was recreated in an area of a fallow paddy field. It was fascinating watching the village come up, with the local villagers supply plants, timber etc, all for a fee. I had finished my schooling and at 18 years of age, was on the lookout for employment and had plenty of time to myself. Gregory Peck, who played the main role in the movie, ...
