asking for Seretse."
OWabone answered him.
I'VE viii die rather than change
our minds and our loyalty to Sc
retse."
The Seretse case flared into in
ternational prominence in 1948
when Seretse then II years old
and law student at Oxford uni
versity in London, married Miss
Williams, a London typist."
This marriage stirred up some
trouble within the tribe, so the
British set ban on his return
home. He and his bride did visit
his homeland once in 1949.
The British banned him perma-
nently on the grounds that he was
not fit to rule because of his mar
riage.
Seretse now lives in London with
his wife and their little girl, JAG
oueline, 2. He has refused an offer
of a job from the British govern
ment. This post which would take
him to Jamaica in the British West
Indies was to pay him $3.50 a
year plus his current pension Of
$4,000 annually.

of the various leaders Of the BAN
ang-wato tribe in the Bacuanaland

return of their chieftain, Seretse
Kahama, to his homeland.
Seretse has been placed on per

white British woman, the former
Ruth Williams of London.
A trial meeting was called off
last week after three days during
which the British learned that the
tribesmen wanted no other chief
tain than Seretse.
Originally, the British offered
the tribe these alternatives:
Select a new chief and return to
the traditional tribal government
or remain under rule of the British.
The 5000 leaders at the Kgotla

new leader. Tribesman 0wabone

italian Spaghetti for four: Two
cans OF tomato paste, water to di-
lutte paste. scant teaspoon sugar,
! Glove garlic. u teaspoon oregano
and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
The amount of water used to
dilute the paste will depend upon
the length of time you wish to
cook the sauce-the longer the
better. The shortest length of
time for it to be good would be
from one to two hours.
Dilute paste with water, add
oregano and sugar and put on
heat. Brown the garlic (slicedD
in oil and add both to the sauce
Immediately. Cook sauce until it
has become the consistency you
prefer. Add to boiled spaghetti.
For an extra treat, I suggest
that you try Roman cheese, in
stead of the prepared grated
Italian" cheeses which most peo-
pie use. There is no comparison

the harried housewife, there is
nothing like a change of scene,
even if she gets away from her
domain for only a short while and
has her lunch at a soda fountain.
Most everything will taste better
than those leftovers from last
nights dinner.
Although I have a cheerful
kitchen for my work shop, often
make changes in the equipment
or rearrange things to save steps.
Sometimes I purchase a new
gadget. or better pot and their
presence works wonders.
When the sight of the break
fast dishes pals on me, pile
them on my draining board for
later consideration and forget
them while I launch a sewing
project, or write some long
neglected letters.
I try not to let my distasteful,
heavy chores go for too long a
period and then dive in and nearly
kill myself over getting them done
before the arrival of company.
BY doing one a day, early in the
day, I can take things easy for
the rest of the time left in my
short day and, by weeks end,
every job will be taken care of
and I'm not too worn out to at
