Let's go.
Our mystery man lived in a humble Georgetown cottage. His work among the working poor was known around the world and one of Stalin's men invited him to Russia. When he returned to Guyana the newspapers called him a "communist" and a "bolshevik."
However, he was given a medal of the Order of the British Empire [OBE].
Who was he?
Good morning 
H. N. Critchlow
Correct!
Hubert Nathaniel Critchlow founded the first trade union in the English-speaking Caribbean, the British Guiana Labour Union.
He was mainly responsible for the 8-hour workday in Guyana and he campaigned steadily many years for May 1 to be declared a national holiday. On May 1, 1958 his dream came through but he died a few days later.
The then Premier Cheddi Jagan idolized Critchlow and built a monument for him in 1964 in the Public Buildings compound.
Congratulations!!
Class dismissed.
Thank you Sir Gil 
and for the half holiday

You are right. The first psydium plants were imported from Madagascar. They were few but, guess what, birds did a wonderful job spreading psydium seeds across the coastal belt.
You get first prize.

Good morning, good people.
This week we have new administration in Guyana but the same old, same old administration in GNI.
Let's start our quiz. This street character wore suit and tie and a hat sometimes. He was judge, lawyer, jury and executioner all rolled up in one. He carried a gallows and a stuffed human figure whom he hanged if a death sentenced was passed. He operated mainly in downtown Georgetown but occasionally travelled to the countryside to entertain school children. Who was he?
Former Member
Good morning!
He was known as Law and Order

* Looks like you are right.
And who can ever forget ‘Law And Order’ who staged an execution in his push cart everyday, every hour on the hour. During the executions of his rag doll, he gave an address on the evils of crime and the benefits of the British Empire, of laws and order. He was always sole judge, jury and executioner. Curious crowds always gathered around ‘Law And Order’ at Bourda Market and the Public Buildings where he was a regular show stopper. ‘Law And Order’ and his push cart also marched proudly in the Armistice Day parade on November 11, each year, getting loud applause and holding his own with the veterans of many campaigns.

This looks like a belly-bung exercise but the answer is out there.

* Lemme guess! Since Strawberry guava is native to neighboring Brazil---then a good guess would be Brazil is the country Guyana got its first strawberry guava plant from.

Good morning, Professor. Thanks for your visit.
Yes, sir, in the Rupununi there are strawberry guava trees that originated in Brazil.
You are a great guava guesser, guest.
