Question: built a fish pool
and used concrete for the bottom
and sides. However, water seeps
through the bottom. What can
II do to make this water
tight?
Answer-If water is escaping
through the bottom. it is likely
that there are creyices or cracks
in the concrete. These should be
made wider and deeper. keeping
the sides Of each groove perpen-
dicular After brushing out all
loose particles, wet the inner
surfaces. then I'LL with a fairly
stiff. but workable, mixture Of
one part Portland cement and
three parts of clean, coarse
sand. Keep the patches damp
for several days. The bottom Of
the pool can then be given q
couple Of coats of a waterproof
cement coating. It comes in
powder form and is mixed with
water.
Lightning Rod
Question: am doing some re-
pairs on the outside Of our house
in preparation for a new paint
Job and am wondering about the
lightning rods on the building
and whether you would advise
leaving them in place or, If ]
could take them down without
making the house less safe from
lightning. Could / remove the
rods and leave the cables in
place. / live within the village
and a friend has suggested that
grounding the TV antenna would
serve the same purpose. To me,
the rods are an eyesore and date

Lightning rods are still
used on many new structures,
particularly those that are on
high ground or quite prominent
in an area that Is not thickiy
populated. The grounding Of the
TV antenna would not protect
the building, because If lightning
were to strike q far end Of the
building. there would be nothing
IN that particular area to con-
duct it to the ground. / person
ally would be inclined to keep
the lightning rods.

to wipe 1t of with q furniture

It looks very smeaIy. Have you
any suggestions?

So far Great Britain has been
successful in her effort to exter-
inmate native patriotism in Ken
va. The Mau Mau regelhon broke
out three years ago in an unfor-
giveable orgy of bloody killings.
since then, $4,000 of the blood
brotherhood have been shot or
hung by white settlers and MEM
bers of the British armed forces.
Some have been tortured, pre-
sumably under cover or Her ma
jesty's government.
Disgraceful Episode
The British authorities in Ken
20, however, have taken skillful
advantage of the Mau Mau up
rising by tying the killers label
on all natives who protest against
seizure of the best of their prec-
ious land for the benefit of a few
thousand whites. Today at least
1000 natives Jumped together as
"Mau Mau sympathizers" are con-
fined to jails and prison camps.

Crown. He wisely chose the latter
and the Basuto people became
British subjects.
Since then, Basutoland has been
reasonably wel-governed and to-
day it's an island of semi-free-
dom for native Africans in the
surrounding sea of South Africa's
fascist racism. Premier Strydom
is taking up where Malan left off
by demanding incorporation of
Basutoland into South Africa.
This will put the Basuto in exact
ly the same situation as the I'M
happy natives now under Boer
rule.
Appeasement Pawn
There are reasonable people"
who argue that this would make
for efficiency" and that the fate
of a half million people Is not as
important as continuing good re-
lationships between the Union of
South Africa and the British
government. If Basutoland were a
trustee territory, 1t could look to
the United Nations for protection.
II 1t were larger and stronger 1t
could defend itself against aggres-
sion by force of arms.
As a territory without armed
forces and depending upon the
protection of Great Britain,
Basutoland can only await help
lessly the steadily approaching
moment when the British gov
eminent can be expected to
traffic away Basuto rights In
an effort to appease aggressive
South Africa.
Freedom Murdered
History does repeat itself, but
sometimes on a miniature scale.
Twenty years ago 100 times as
many people as there are Basuto
were sold out in CzechoslovalIia
by Britain's Prime Minister
Chamberlain in a vain effort to
appease Hitler. Today, Basuto-
land is mounting the selling
block.
There are only a half-millon
people involved to be sure, but
freedom is murdered just as fin
ally in the berayal of a half-mil-
lion people. Modern statesman
ship can still rouse itself in time
if there be sufficient states
manship in the British govern
ment and the United Nations.
