First Christmas Note

From the military services and from government of
fcals IN Washington, the first Christmas note
The Christmas note is word of advice to those who will
send packages overseas for the holiday in 1859
The first reminder is to those who will send pack
ages to civilians in other countries They are reminded
to check at the Post Office and determine the regua-
lions and requirements of the countries to which the
package will be sent These vary, and sometimes what
appear to be somewhat odd requirements are imposed
on all those packages which are to be accepted and de-
ivered
AS for those who preparing to send packages to
military personnel, stationed overseas they have little
longer to wat-before they must mail parces-in many
cases They are reminded however that Christmas mail
IS always heavy and that it would be advisable to mail
gifts next MONTH rather than later And it is not too
earyf the gift to be sent is not perishable-to begin
mailing them late in October especially to those who are
stationed in far-away countries.
While it seems early to be speaking of Christmas
parcels with Halloween weeks away, and Thanks
giving far distance in the future of the 25th of this
month Christmas will be only eight weeks away Pack
ages sent often require four to six weeks and
therefore the note parcels from Washington from
the military, is warning in time

The Conservative Victory

The Conservative victory in Great Britain is anoth-
indication that the tide is turning against the left
wingers More and writer's and political science
pers coming to the conclusion that the trend is def
intely away from extreme Socialism at least outside
the communist sphere.
The defeat suffered by the Laborites in England
shows that sentiment in favor of free enterprise and pr
vate enterprise and opposed to unlimited Socialism, is
gaining strength and popularity with the people.
The extent of the Conservative victory was such
that the in the street, the little man, has def
intely reflected this changing philosophy.
That philosophy has also been evident in other coun
tries such Canada in recent years. and in the United
States in both 1852 and 1956-when President Eisenhow
er won Presidential election by large margin running
middle-of-the-roade
The Conservative victory in Great Britain will newt
ably affect the conventions of the two major political
parties in the United States next year The idea that
candidate must be letwnger at least appeal to the
pressure groups in the key industrial regions to win
national election, is still held by many.
However, President Eisenhower partially debated
this theory in two elections and the voter in Eng
land has indicated that the little currently tend
ing to be conservative in his basic and fundamen-
tai approach

Business Is Brisk in Chana

halt asleep, Dut ne woke up,
greeted me CALAMITY, and looked
admiringly at his wife.
Around him, daughters and
daughters-in-law were busy
working, also surrounded by
youngsters of all ages. The FAM
lily was numerous.
The husband had two wives.
Polygamy f1ourishes in this coun-
try, despite the fact that only
four per cent of the population
are Moslem. Mrs. Sasraku does
not like polygamy. She told me,
as soon as her husband was
|away, that she never felt at home
as long as the first wife was liv-
ing. And she was proud, she
volunteered, that all her children
were living in homogeneous mar
riage.
Mrs. Sasraku is a Christian.
She is member of the board of
the Presbyterian church of Ac-
era and she is a teacher in the
Sunday school. She is a member
of the board of the Red Cross.
Mrs. Sasraku has a great and
warm heart. When Ghana was
still the Gold Coast and a British
colony she, the illiterate market
chief, was honored with the title
Member of the Order of the Brit
ish Empire, for her great hui
manitarian work in and outside
of Accra.
Today she is going to school
las she did when child
directly after she leaves the
market in the evening-in order
to learn reading and writing.
She wrote her name for me with
| big block letters, very proud Of
mastering the difficult art.
Women Important
II was a welcome experience
to come, as / did, from Sudan, a
country where ones hostess does
not even appear when you are
invited to her home as a guest,
and to drop down into Ghana,
where women take an important
part in the economic life of the
country and also are found in
leading cultural positions in
Accra.
Moreover women organize the
humanitarian work of the coun-
try. More than 80 per cent of
the food merchandising, too, is
done by them. Every woman
seems to be in business. every
body economically independent
The women of Ghana have for
centuries had equal place with
the rlen. In the many chieftain-
cies, nobody is more esteemed
than the chief-mother, who al
ways takes over when a chief
lis dethroned. Even in poor little
communities, it is the eldest
grandmother who is consulted
when important decisions are to
fbe made.
At the newly built university
of Ghana, some miles outside
,Accra, you find women on the
faculties of all departments. I
was deeply moved and a little
ashamed when I read the motto
of that institution:
"In the harmony of the
world as in the harmony Of
the organ or the piano, the
I black and white keys are
both indispensable"

Thus Eugene Kai Sasraku,

No. l, Accra, told me her fas-
cinating, lively story. She is a
mature woman, big and vigor-
Gus, with a shining brown face
without a wrinkle, a rich and
rugged individual, smiling to-
ward the sun.
AS a child, she had been
sent by her parents to a mis-
sionary school in Okyirikonfo,
a village As miles from Accra.
The missionaries taught her to
sew, to knit, and to make bas-
kets. They also gave her little
idea of numbers and their value
She started her career as q
saleswoman, going to the market
.of her native town and selling
her baskets. The material had
cost her two shillings and she
sold her baskets for four.
At Is, she was eager to see q
bit of the world. With the bas-
kets on her head, she walked
barefoot the As miles to Accra

money she realized bought five
barrels of flour. hired five men
to wheel them back to the viii
lage and became a baker.
Invests Profits
This occupation turned into q
f1ourishing trade and, after some
few years, when she had col
lected a fortune of 20 pounds
she went to Accra to settle. She
invested her money in the Unit
ed African Company, Africa's
largest import house and, in re-
turn, obtained the right to q
monthly credit of rs pounds.
Thereupon she established
herself as a market-woman. spe-
cializing in kitchen furniture
And today she is not only q
wholesale dealer with monthly
turnover of 1000 pounds-the
Ghana pound is of the same
value as the British pound-but
she is the chief of Market No. |
with its more than 1000 sales
women.
AS chief, her main task is to
settle disputes and to give infor-
nation on credit potential, tc
superintend the market clean
ing and to apply to the municipal
authorities for necessary re-
pairs. In fact, Mrs. Sasraku is
not only a market chief; she is q

ASTRONOMY NOTES By OLAF HALVEHsON

The inferior planets occasionally transmit, or cross directly in front of the sun, at inferior conjunction. They then have the appearance of dark spots against the suns disk. Mercury is too small to be seen without a telescope on such Occa- sions. TranSits of Venus can be viewed without a telescope.
 About thirteen transits of Mer- cury occur in the course of cen- tury. The latest transit on Novem- Der IA, 1853, was entirely visible The transit before it, on November II, 1940, was partly visible in the United States.
 TransitS of Venus are less fre- quent. They occur at present in pairs, separated by 8 years at in- tervals of somewhat more than a century. There were transits in December, 1874, and December, 1882. The next two are scheduled for June 8, 2OO4, and June 6, 2012.
 The condition necessary for a transit is that the earth must be near the line of the nodes of the planets orbit.
