I reetops | Hotel in Kenyo
Being Rebuilt in jungle

NYERI. - The world-famous
Treetops Hotel at Nyeri. in
Kenya, is to be rebuilt on the old
site in the Royal National Parks.
1t probably will be ready before
the end of the year.
The old Treetops was burned
down by the Mau Mau. In its
place will rise, phoenix-like, a
new Treetops of two stories. with
a fully-equipped kitchen. re-
frigerator. running water and
electric light.
The rebuilding Of the famous
house in the tree is possibly the
most eloquent pointer to the fact
that conditions in the colony are
almost back to normal.
Sturdy Furnishings
Eric Sherbrooke Walker, owner
of the new Treetops, wants
crockery so tough that it will not
be broken by the balloons which
occasionally intrude; window
glass strong enough to Withstand
a hearty pat from any leopard
that happens to climb the tree;
lavatories which use minimum
of water and are so noiseless that
they will not disturb the equani-
nifty of an elephant a few feet
below them.
Also, roofing felt strong enough
to withstand the depredations
of monkeys, which in previous
years used to amuse themselves
by tearing it into strips; mate
rails for curtains and bed covers
which will Withstand the sun
and wind and q covering for the
wooden floor which will smother
the sound of footsteps so as not
to disturb the reveries Of a rhino
rubbing against the tree.
Finally, Mr.. Sherbrooke Walk
er wants a tree hostess who will
be required to carry out similar
duties to those of an air hostess.
She will have to be brave. strong,
good-tempered and a good cook,
able to take charge of the bar
and African staff and with a
good knowledge of Swahili and
animal life.
10 Miles From Hotel
Guests staying the night at
1.-THE new Treetops will leave the
parent hotel, the Outspan. in
the morning accompanied by a
white hunter. They will leave the
safari truck on the edge of the
forest and walk along an ele-
plant trail to TreetopS, which is
about 10 miles from the Outspan
Hotel.

Mrs. Dulles said the dining
room of the Royal place which
they visited was completely
paneled with this laquer art,
which is a Wet Namese spe-
cialty.
Ivory Inlaid
Several of the paintings in
spected by yesterdays guests
are inlaid with ivory and gold
leaf.
For Nine. Tran Van Chuong,
the tea represented the end of
months of work. She not only
selected the present embassy
site (the old one on Kalorama
road was too small and
cramped) but spent weeks
shutting back and forth to
New York to select the fur
nishings and Chinese rugs
which brought he many COM
pliments for her taste yes

Other early arrivals at the
tea included Nine. Muniz, wife
of the Brazilian Ambassador;

Better Late Than Never.
This appears to be the slogan
of the supervisor of District No.
l when it comes to dealing with
Okemah. Is this Eleventh hour
movement which is carried on
out there just before election
time, a means of fooling the
voters to obtain their continuous
support?
In the past, the supervisors
of District / have received 80
percent of the votes in your
community but have given very
little in return. Namely our
streets, which receive very little
attention until near election
time, then they are graded and
sprinkled.
Our children are unprotected
while crossing the streets be-
cause of the lack of proper set
speed regulation signs in our
residential section. Some drivers
pass through as if it were a race
track. This should be stopped!
We feel that the street lead
ing to Percy Julian School needs
attention very badly. Why can't
this street be paved? When it
rains our children have to wade

Facing The Fuets
BY w. A. Robinson

Revently Edwin c.. Berry, ex-
ecutive director of the Chicago
Urban League said that while
discrimination accounts in part
for the low income rate of Ne
groeS, ''It is also true that poor
preparation reflects the other
side of the coin."
To help remedy the situation
the us. will launch a program
designed to "appreciably in
crease the number of Negro
youth who complete training for
special jobs"
The first stage of this effort
by the Chicago Urban League
is slated to begin this Septem-
ber and to end in September
1859. A volunteer committee of
100 representatives from all seq
ments of community life are to
be chosen. A working committee
of twenty persons will be select
ed to work closely with the
project.
This is an excellent project
and could with great profit be
worked out in the same or mod
flied methods in every COM
munity where the local branch
of the Urban League is Suffic-
iently manned to carry it out.
Such an effort working deliber-
ately to increase the number of
jobs for Negroes is badly needed
Arizona sun., 1956-08-30

in most localities. 1t will not,
be an easy task. The brainwash-
ing that has stereotyped Negro
workers and Negro people gen.
orally, has been persistently and
thoroughly done. Every mistake
by a Negro worker is blown up
into a racial characteristic. Ev-
cry satisfactory Negro worker is
praised as an unusual phen-
omenon and the only one dis
covered.
Employers know that these
arguments have been disproved
time and again. It is not a mat
ter With them of being convinc--
ed by reasonable arguments and
convincing evidence. It is a mat
ter of not knowing what prob
lens will be raised if Negroes
are employed and just not want
ing to be bothered with any
problems at all. Like the gen.
erals who objected that the war
was not a social experiment.,
employers don't intend to do
any social experimenting with
jobs, whether in banks or in
factories, comparatively few 10
cations excepted.
The argument that America
needs many new sources Of
workers and conceivably could
need suddenly, double it's labor
supply, makes no more impress

in mud and water to and from
school.
We have been constantly told
that there are two individuals
keeping us from getting some
thing done to our streets. If this
is true, we citizens of this COM
munity should find out who
would SO narrow mindedly de-
prive us of the necessities Of
life.
Altho much of this condition
will always remain unless we
register and vote collectively for
the man who will give action
instead of promises. Last years
statistics showed that out Of ap-
proximately 21O0 people, only
387 voted. This is the direct
cause of the sad plight of Oke-
NAH and it's surroundings.
There is only one means by
which this condition can be
rectified that is by every citizen
registering and voting for men
who will give us something in
return for our support.

Veterans News

The Korean CT Bill reached
it's fourth anniversary this week,
after having given 100000
Korea veterans an opportunity
to train for virtually every type
of career and occupation found
in America.
Another 100000 veterans are
expected to make use of their
Korean CT training benefits be-
fore the program expires in 1856,
according to Veterans Admins
tration estimates.
The veterans already trained
or in training have set their
sights high, VA pointed out. One
third of all Korean CT traineeS
aimed for high-level profession
al, Semi-profeSsional and tech
biological occupations. Yet in
the entire nation, only one
tenth of the total male labor
force is at work in these fields.
So far, $4,000 Korea veterans
studied the sciences. Among
them were 10000 who took en-
gineering; $1,000 who chose me-
dicine and related subjects. and
$4,000 who specialized in other
branches of science such as
chemistry, physics and geology.
Another 143 600 veterans en-
rolled in managerial and bust
ness administration courses;
$4,000 studied teaching; $1,000
went into law and prelaw; SO,
900 trained to be accountants;
$4,000 Specialized in social STU
dies; $4,000 studied art and de-
sign, and 5000 trained for the
ministry.
More than 100000 chose cours-
es leading to jobs in the crafts,
trades and in industry. Included
were $1,000 who trained to be
mechanics and 10000 who stud
led radio and TV repair.
More than half of all Korean
CT Bill trainees attended col
legeS and universities, VA said.
And of these, 10 percent enroll
ed for graduate studies. The rest
of the veterans trained in
schools below the college level,
on-the-job and on-the-farm.
In addition to reviewing past
achievements of the four-year-
old Korean CT Bill, VA also look
ed ahead at the future of the
program.
It predicted that the train
ing program was nearing its
peak and probably will reach a
plateau during the 1956-57 school
year, when three-quarters of a
million veterans are expected to
be in training. Of these, around
$50 900 will be college students.
The numbers sohuld remain
at about the same level for an
other year. After that, VA said,
they are expected to decline
slowly.
By the turn of the decade,
there is expected to be about
half a million Korea veterans
in training. After that, the num-
bers are expected to continue
to drop off until the program
reaches it's end in 1865.
