The Final Chapter The British connection with Africa has lasted three and a half centuries. It has been a long and complicated story. And now. with the emergence of Kenvfl and 713'“ zibar into independence the final chapter has been reached. What this means is the subject. of an ar- ticle just rctooivod from British Information Services. which we found of much interest but of which we can give only a summary here. 1 7 AVI. ‘ l p..bi..i.m ‘ Kenya. with its tribal and racial divisions. has proved a difficult. problem; but in solution has been found. 7.anzibar's politics was so inextricably tangled with race and religion. this time last. year. that thc degree of national loyalty med- ed to give 3 new country ii chance of survival seemed impossihlc of realization. But Zanzibar. too. has gone forward into independence. Gambia, which at prosonf has internal self-government. pros:-nts a different kind of problem. The ter- fltory is so small (4,003 sq ua re miles) that one cannot but ponder arm pmupoctc of standing on its Sm . own feet as a sovereign state. If the Gambians (310.000 in number) choose an association with tho neighboring country of Senegal, Britain will certainly not oppose. At present a United Nations team is visiting Gambia and Sene- gal. and will report in January on ways in which such an association can be achieved. Rut-——and this is tho important point.-Britain wants the Gambians to decide for them- selves. When mic looks further smith. tn the three High Commission territories of Rasutoland. Bechuana- land and Swaziland the picture is f?niil‘f‘i}' different.

Hero is a coiiiitr_\' of great promise which ncods to offs-ct the political ad- \-ance of the African majority of iicarly three million. while at the samc time retaining tho invaliiable cnntrihiitinn of the 240,000 Eur- opeans. particiilarly in administra- firm and in tbs (=coiiomy. Rritaiii has no aiitlioi'i'ty to impose its wi'!l as far as tbs coiiiiti°y's internal af- 5 fairs arc concerned: but if the ‘ fears and siispicions of the two race: can be dispslled. Southern Rhodesia might still provide an example of racial co-operation which not only Africa but the world as a whole nccds. Wliat is clear is that Brit;-iiii'.= intention in Africa is to pursue the policy which has had such marked siiccess in past years-—--that of guid- ing hcr depPI1rlPn(‘.lP.= to a point wh(=re they can take their place in the community of nations as in- dependent states in a climate "of stability and goodwill. She will not dosort the-m in mid-stream. nor will she abandon them to chaos in an effort to disentangle herself from seemingly dangerous situations. Let's Keep Slogging The Fredericton Gleaner thus describes conditions in the Atlantic area: "No huge grain orders from behind the Iron or Bamboo Ciirtains are available to give our ieuonomy even a tomporary lift. For us there is only the slow slog- ging away at tbs basic problem of thin region. the development of 5| network of processing indiistrios, using our own raw materials and keeping our own people busy doing it. and the attracting of the neces- sary capital. public and private. to get. these industries started." That's the way it goes. But looking back ovei- the past year we can see that we haw: made progress in this direction. and that the "slow slugging away" is paying off. even though by comparison with other more industrialized areas our gains may not. bn noticeable. There is rea- son to believe that the coming months will see more processing plants established here. and more of our people employed. If that in- volves the exercise of more ini- tiative on our part. probably it is just as well. Certainly the results of the last federal-provincial con- feri-nce should taach us that self- holp is about the only dependable form of aid that we can look for- ward to.

As Johnson asks: "Is that nt of a genuine curmudgeon of a man trying to sound more violent than he feels?" FAR MORE HUMAN If Ebenezer Scrooge is recon» l ized as oniy a man _ 'ng o . sound more violent than he feels 1 then he hecomos far more hu- man; and his explosion of good- will on Christmas morning he- comes far more credible. For it i is probably true that in m ost people the c'.emcnt._< are strang- ely mixed. and it is never safe to say that anybody is quite what he seems. It is strange how even a word of unexpected kindness from a harsh llFl‘SDfl may come to mean more than many k i nd words from those whosc motives may nnf scam clear. Leigh Hunt always had a word of tribute to pay to oycr. of the hard masters in school—l.niidon‘s "Blue scho0l——he attended in 1790's Boyer was "a severe. : na.\'. a cruel master."

The eruption come: and goes and tends to [Ct worse with amo- fional stress. obesity. or alcohol- lam. Injury is another factor: new patches often appear over cren subjected to-repeated tn- uma. such as elbows. knees, buttocks, and scalp. Most victims are healthy. and no one ever dies of psoriasis. Sunlight has a beneficial effect and. in addition. many good remedies are available. Small lesions are treated by removing the scales and applying a lubri- cating ointment like pefi-olatum. Salves containing salicylic acid help soften the scales. and sul- phur is said to have a healing effect. Small lesions that refuse fo improve under simpler meth- ods may respond to the injection of one of the steroids under the scales. salicylic acid and sulphur also are recommended for scalp lea- ions. These chemicals are less messy when incorporated into a washable ointment base that can be washed out easily with shampoo. Widespread involvement is more difficult to eradicate. A good treatment is to apply a synthetic corticosteroid in a cream or lotion and cover t h c area at night with a plastic sub- stance like Saran Wrap. Remova- it in the morning. In some in- stances. the entire body is wrap- ped in this fashion. but this is best done when the individual is hospitalized. Occasonally. dra- matic improvement is noted. The safest remedy is the old reliable — tar and u l t 1- fl violet light. Prolonged exposure is nec- essary and the patient must be taught how to use the lamp saf- ely and effectively. The far is applied at night and removed with mineral ‘oil In the morning. After a tub bath, the areas are exposed to ultraviolet. T h l 5 daily routine should be followed until the skin has healed. Aminopferin is the latest inter- nal remedy. This antic a ii c e 1' drug is tricky to use and is po- fentlally dangerous when em- ployed over a long period.

H: a n factory-made roofing. FOUR MILLION REEDS A master tliatcher needs deft fingers. perhaps two months of time. and some fou 1' million reeds or straw cut in five- foot lengths to cover a cottage of av- erage sizc. l-[ls tools are tried aiid true—m alle t. trimming lmlfe. sheep shears, and I log- getf which looks something like a lacrosse stick and is used to beat the bundles of thatch into place. One present difficulty in get- ting enough thatch. English farmers are abandoning long- stemmed wheat in vor I high- yield, short variety. There are plenty of reeds; but as the London Sunday Times has ob- served, Norfolk people find it an “uncongenlal occupation" to cut reeds while standing knee-deep in icy water with northeutors blowing in their faces. Though I matched cottage is possibly the most charmingly bucolic residence ever created by man. thatchlng in early Eng- land was merely a matter of making do with materials at hand. A small landowner built his home of local stone or brick, timbered with wood from his forests. and topped with reeds or straw grown in the s a m e county. The British scholar Palsgrave, tutor of Henry VIII's daughter Mary, wrote peevfshly in "I am but a poore man. sytlie I can not tyle my house. I must be fayne to thacke it." Colonist; brought thatching, essentially an English art. t o the New World. They laid thatched roofs over log cabins and split-board huts. But Amer- ica's weather was harsh, and thatching never really caught on. BROUGHT DECLINE In England. the proud craft was handed from father to son century after century. It went into a decline and seemed doom- ed— except for replacement of thatches on historical landmarks such as Anne Hathaway’; cot- tage—-wlien England entered a period of threadbare after World War II. Thatched roofs became rare in places where they had been a feast for the eyes. It was not uncommon to see fine old fhntches shame- lessly patched with sheets of corrugated iron. The British Government did much to save thatchlng with an apprenticeship program which attracted young recruits to the trade. The British Rural Indus- tries Bureau estlmates the pre- sent number of thatched cottag- es at 50.000 to 60.000. Craftsmen have waiting lists of customers. Many thatchers live peaceful- ly nomadic lives, moving from job to job in comfortable house trailers. One thatching family has become so prosperous that the father drives a Rolls-Royce. the son 8 Jaguar.
