!, NEW YORK, (GlobaD Just
about everyone seems to be in
trigued by the Importance now at
tached to the continent of Africa.
It was only the other day that a
radio speaker. recently returned
from there, was singing Rhodesia's s
praises, proclaiming reasons why
fhe would like to live there, and
joyfully anticipating trip he will
take to Kenya in the fall. Not only
is the radio bringing a lot of news
about Africa, but also other media
like TV, newspapers and magazines
are doing the same. Even speakers
on church, school and community
Ipanels and programs have been
more articulate about Africa here
of late. All of these things taken
along with current African re-
search and the fact that many resi-
dental and business sections look
like section of the United States,
put Africa definitely in the lime
light.
The African story is even more
exciting when we consider that
only a few years back, this i'm
mense hunk of earth was labeled
Dark Continent" Of course, then
as now, it had vast riches, includ-
ing one fourth of the worlds gold,
three-fourths of its diamonds and
one-half of its known uranium.
with large amounts of chromito,
copper, tin and vanadium to boot.

NEW YORK, (GlobaD--
Dear Miss Ball:
Helen and I go to the same
school: She just came about a
month ago, and since she seemed
nice, we became friends. Now I
have a problem. Helen has boy
friend who works after school at
factory. She and some of the
girls steal into the factory at night
when the boss is away. They do
things that my father would OBJ
iect to. Now, Helen is mad at me
because I will not 60 with her But
1, don't want to get into trouble.
Do you think l should go? All
the nice girls have stopped speak
ing to her and they whisper about
her.
Renea-N. G.
Dear Renea:
Whatever you do, stay away
from the factory and from such
girls as Helen. It is true that many
people sem nice when you first
meet them, but you have to get to
know them we'll before making a
true friend of any new acquaint-
anceS. There are some signs of bad
character and you must watch for
these signs.
It is very important for girl to
be careful Of her reputation, for
once it is lost, it is never regained.
Be pleasant to all, but never spend
time with the wrong company. You
may be lonesome for awhile, but
soon you will meet teenagers who
are interested in their school work,
sports, movies, and all the other
things that interest you Go places
where these things take place-the
YWCA, your church and commu-
ntiy center, for instance. There you
will met nice girls and boys, and
your family will approve.
Helen is heading for a big fall.
If you can't lead her onto the right
path, then don't follow her. AL
ways think your problems through,
as you have done with this one,

Afrita's In The LimeIiqhf Now
>sssSs-

But these valuable resources, for
the most part, were not developed
as much as they are today, and in
them, many Africans had no spe-
cial interest
The older invaders were Egyp-
tions, Berbers- and Arabs. But the
Europeans, who came last and in
clude Britain and France, control
nearly three-fourths of Africa be-
tween them. Africans seem to fel
that the outsiders, especially Euro
peans, invaded their continent
largely for what it would mean for
their own countries aggrandize-
ment Africans, who far outnumber
Europeans now, are giving vent to
their attitudes in the matter espe-
cially so with the spread of educa-
ton, democracy and Christianity.
In some sections, such as Rhodesia,
they have sanctioned a kind of
bargaining arrangement a plan
by which they work in the same
harness with Europeans. In other
sections, like Kenya, the center Of
the Mau Mau trouble, attempts to
reach more equitable ways of life
are met with stiffer resistance In
the Union of South Africa, natives,
with the help of few sympathetic
Europeans met with small success
in holding onto their homes.
SO the eyes OF the world are on
Africa.

California Plants
InlaIImouih Bass

According to an announcement
from the California Department
Of Fish and Game, the first plant
ing Of small bass ever made in the
Colorado River above Parker Dam,
and a booster plant below the dam
have just been completed.
Of the $4,000 smallmouth fry in-
volved in the operation, 5000 were
planted approximately five miles
above Needles, and 5000 were
planted three to four mills below
Parker Dam.
The Introduction of smallmouth
into the river above Needles is en-
tirely experimental. The sandy, 13-
mile stretch of river between
Needles and the Nevada line has
proven far from ideal for either
cOldWater trout or warmWater
largemouth bass, but may be suit
able for an intermediate species
such as the small mouth.

over table and floor lamps in the
process. The greatest advance in
homelighting since Mr.. Edison in
vented the incadescent lamp in
1879, formally announced by Gen
eral Electric on June IL, is now in
the hands of the lamp manufac-
turers-who asked for it two years
ago.
All they wanted, they slid, was
something to replace the antfquated
switch that would be small, shock
proof, indestructable, that would
operate at the human touch and
with out pressure. And this is
exactly what the genius depart
