a local term equivalent to gotong
royong
firing workers (buruh bakar) are
paid money wages, 1000Rp a firing-
notes seem to inidcate
it takes 5 men to fire
the  7 from the original work group
takes turns sponsoring a firing-
all 7 look for stones & wood
secara atasan, but the sponsor
of that firing apparently
pays the buruh bakar,
buys any additional firing
materials needed, and keeps
the hasil of the firing
the 7 do not double as buruh
bakar, ace to Pak Bugis, but the
firing is done by a separate set
of men
the tomang of Pak Bugis normally
produces 2 koyan a firing
(see above p47)
1 koyan = 120 blck
the price in the village ("harga
templat") is nw 23,000Rp a
koyan

capital which the 'sponsor' uses
is borrowed from his friends &
neighbors w/out interest

village
they have trouble in the rainy
season because firewood doesn't
dry out enough for firing
Pak Bugis was once taken by
Dinas Perindustrian to Gisik (near
Surabaya) to see firing with a
kompor - he says the result
is the same whether fire with wood
or residual because "the quality
depends on the stone", not tha
firing material
he would like a kompor
says a 10-kilo hammer (palu
besan) is use to break up the stone-
he wants large crowbars (linggis
besan) also
Pak Bugis is head of the Bluto
Blompok which here says 40 HH

Pak Bugis, are hand pressing of
coconut oil & sewing (menjahit)-
are total 25 persons who
do latter - some own sewing
