This You Ought To Know

peans and the colored natives. Further
more, and this is no secret, DR.. Malan has
expansionist ideas about Bechuanaland =.
he wants to incorporate this large country
into his own Union of South Africa. OBJ
viously, under these circumstances he
wanted no native chief ruling over any
tribe in his part of the world who had the
temerity to take unto himself a white
queen. Dr. Malan decided to Danish the
young couple from their native land.
once DIR. MALAN made this decision,
~ events developed with ightning-like
rapidity.
The Colonial Office in London sent
word to young Chief Khama to come to
London for consultation" When the
young native chief appeared at the Co
lonial Office to consult" with His Majes-
TVS Government, he was informed that ne
could no longer 60 back to his native land
not for at least five long years. He
was further advised that he may, If he
wished send for his wife-now an ex-
pectant mother-to join him in England
where the government would give him
yearly allowance of 5000 on which to
live.
Apparently the Colonial Office felt
that in five years time the young chief
will be forgotten by his people and new
chief will take his place who will not be
foolish enough to fall in love with an Eng
lish girl
YNHE savage treatment of Chief Khama
l. aroused such excitement in London
that even Winston Churchill attacked the
government for its action. He called it
"discreditable transaction" Two of Lon
don's greatest newspapers, "The News
Chronicle" and "The Times" both con-
demned the government for this legal kid
mapping "If the Bamangwato tribe was
willing to take a white queen" declared
The Times editorially, sit would not seem
to be for the Imperial Government,
pledged before all the nations to respect
the equal rights of all races, to overrule
them"
The News-Chronicle stated in so many
words that young chief Khama was sacri-
ficed sin order not to inflame against us
the white opinion of South Africa"
X X
HOWEVER, THE ACTUAL facts of this
IL tragedy are even more sordid. Chief
Khama and his white queen were sacri-
feed for GOLD The Union of South AT
RIGA imports great deal of goods from
England J.. much more than it exports to
England And there is recently executed
agreement between the Commonwealth
and the Mother Country that the differ
ence in these exports would be paid for
in gold by South Africa.
Prime Minister Malan advised London
that he would dishonor this agreement,
unless Chief Khama and his white queen
were banished.
That is why the legal kidnapping took
place.
And the latest development in this
strange drama is that the Bamangwato
tribe intends to place this entire affair be-
fore the United Nations. At the moment
there is no hint as to how this will be ac-
complished. But it will be mighty inter-
esting to see how this shot potato" will be
handled by the u. N. should the strange
case of the African chief and his white
queen ever find a place on its usually
crowded and highly controversial agenda.

TNHE TRAGIC "hero" of the story is
Il young, 28-year-old native of Africa
a chief of the Bamangwato tribe OF
Bechuanaland which happens to be Brit
ish protectorate on the northern frontiers
of the Union of South Africa. This young
native chief, Seretse Khama at the behest
of his tribal elders, went to England
nearly two years ago to be educated at
famed Oxford University. He, apparently,
wanted to learn the ways of the White
Man. Perhaps he felt that that way he
would make better chief for his tribe -.
would learn to rule more wisely.
How he Jared in his new surroundings
Is not relevant to our story. Presumably
he was a good student His troubles be-
gan, however, when he fell in love with
young English secretary who, as the story
goes, was eager to reciprocate his feelings.
So, in due course and after he had told her
of his desire to take her with him back to
his native land where she would rule over
his people as their queen, they were duly
married.
And that is when things began to hap
pen.
The staid old Colonial Office in Lon
don was aghast at the news of their mar
riage But nothing much could be done
about it. Especially since the young cou-
pie were both of age and broke no laws of
His Majesty's Government. So, no obsta-
Gle was placed in their way as the young
couple left to return to the Dark Continent
and their primitive country.
CKEPTICAL AT FIRST, the people of
~ the Bamangwato tribe soon learned
to like their strange new queen from far
away England. So much so that young
Khama was officially elected to be the'
chief of the tribe and his white consort
was duly made a queen For time, de-
spite the obvious displeasure of London's
Colonial Office, it seemed that this would
be one of those stories where the happy
young couple would live happily ever
after"
What happened shortly after their re-
turn, however, is something that could
easily fit into some of our great tragedies.

claims the false and dangerous theory OF

The numbers of workers increas-
ed from 23,731, 10 years ago, to 34,-

The salaries and wages of 10
years ago paid these workers was
$29,321,OOO; in 1947, $92, 1873, 900, an
increase of 214 per cent.
The most spectacular increase
was in the value added by manufac-
turers, which means the value OF
products less cost of materials,

"Why is it," inquiry has been made
to the Chamber of Commerce, that
the reports of the Delaware State
Tax Commissioner shows 709
manufacturers in Delaware. but the
Federal Government shows only

This is explained in part, by the
fact that the classification of the

Federal regulation than in that of
the state.
Still another question frequently
asked is why the payroll employ

The accident occurred during

fifth this year on Delaware high

Mrs. O'Toole suffered a possible

cOncussiOn. He regained conscious
ness Monday morning.

Wilson was thrown clear of the

O'TOOle was thrown to the floor of
the car. O'TOOle's body was jam

Yanks' threat. The Yanks broke
the MeteOrs' streak last year.
The Mighty Mites of Milford
played their 14th game without
loss last Sunday night and downed
the Wilmington All-Stars, 8 to 2.
Until the seventh inning the game
was a nip and tuck affair with the
Yanks holding a 8 to 2 edge, but
in the seventh, the home team
broke things wide open by. scoring
s runs and added another in the
eighth to win 8 to 2. The stick
work was handled by Reed, 3 hits;
Baown. 2 and Hick with triple.
The Milford Yanks proved their
ability 4th of July night when they
took on the much talked about
House of David nine and beat them
to the tune of to 5, before one of
the largest crowds of the season.
Again the Yanks started Hughes
on the mound and that proved to
be a successful bit of management
on the Yank's part, for Hughes had
the House under control most of
the time. The real highlight of the
game came in the 7th inning, when
with the score 5-3 in favor of the
House and two men on, Hicks came
TO bat and drove one far, far over
the centerfield wall to score 3 that
put the Yanks ahead and Hughes
cut loose and held for the remain
der of the game.

Throughout the ride, troopers
said Hayman, Pierce, and Trice

At one point, according to troop
ers, King finally got the trio in the

later, troopers said, Pierce was
able to slip away to a phone and
he put in a call to the state police

However, at that moment Seaford

either may be fatal.
Mr. Tarbell made the statement
in connection with National Farm
Safety Week, which will be OBJ
served July % to 20.
The symptoms of these strokes
are hot and dry skin, face red and
flushed, breathing hard and loud,
pupils enlarged and unconscious
ness may follow in severe cases.
Prevention is the best cure, but
you should be prepared if it does
strike. Here is what the National
Safety Council suggests for sun
stroke or heatstroke:
1. Move to a cool shady place,
strip to the underclOthes, lay on
back with head and shoulders
raised
2. Apply ice or cold wet cloths to
head, cool the body gradually
with a cool bath or with a hose
or wet the clothes and rub
limbs toward the heart.
3. After treating for several min
utes, stop and observe patient
If skin becomes hot again, re-
sumo treatment.
4. If conscious, give cool drinks
not ice cold. Do not give slim
ulants.
5. Get the patient to a doctor OF
a hospital as soon as possible
Continue the treatment in the
ambulance.
With heat exhaustion, the pa
TENTS skin is cold and clammy. A
simple rule may serve as a guide
and avoid treatment confusion
Briefly, it is this: If the patient is
cold, make him warm; if he is hot
make him cool.
