Some Surprising Scenes

To those who think of the Sahara
desert as a broad waste of unbroken
sands, the great land expanse which
covers most of inland North Africa
back from its settled coastlands and
the Nile, would offer some surprising
scenes. In addition to the typical
regions Of shifting sand dunes and
scattered GASES, much of the coun-
try which the Allied forces are cross
ing-or have crossed-is high and
rocky plateau. Occasionally it rises
to mountain heights of 10000 feet
and more, or it may sink to huge de-
pressions many feet below sea level.
There are even peaks temporarily
tipped with snow in winter, and up
land areas where streams run con-
tinuously In their higher courses.

They continued their loud talking,
stomping, kicking and changing
seats, walking over patrons feet.
Their vocabulary consists of every
word in the English language in
Guiding slang, but-excuse or par
don me-that phrase is obsolete as
far as they are concerned. (These
were not lower Rondo children
either.)
Our Most Embarrassing Mo
ments: Some teen age girls were
on a streetcar late one night sing
ing and talking loudly about how
"high" they were and how "high"
they had been the night before.
Children who do everything they
are big enough to do at home with
out being corrected, do not respect
the rights of others, and if the par
ents do not take them in hand at an
early age, all of our fighting
against discrimination will have
been in vain.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Frances H. McAdams.
