son. Jim Wilson has been ran- cher, musician, college instructor. and journalist. A while ago with one companion he set out to sail around Africa on an American frighter. But the boat had cock reaches and they kept getting in the soup! So Jim and his pal threw, their duffie bags ashore at Lagos, Nigeria, and set out to cross North Central Africa on motor cycles-4,500 miles with only 900 miles of road with garages $500 miles apart and gasoline $4.00 a gallon. The first white men ever to cross Africa from coast to coast north of Lake Tchad, the intrepid adverturers went without guides, porters. interpreters, or even fire arms, battering their way through jungle and desert for six long months. But they went with wrinkles in their eyes and the love of mankind in their hearts. They found the natives simple and sin cere, living their lives to the best of their ability under terrific han dicap, and always ready to befriend and aid the man who lives and re- spects them, regardless of his cul- tural background or the color of his skin. Wilson's lecture, which will be profuse1y illustrated with colored pictures made during his travels, is entitled: Africans are People!"
