something else. The author tells
in some detail how he had to. be
prepared by several African lead
ers to undertake his assignment.
1t may come as surprise to US
to learn that many Africans re-
sent the American Negro; not all
say welcome" home.
An American Negro who tries to
explain how much progress has
been made towards racial equality
in this country is laughed down,
or hooted at, or, much worse, re-
garded as a sort of white mans
lackey. So, for Lomax, it took some
time before he was accepted.
A white reporter probably never
would have been.
Lomax narrative ,recounts how
the Egyptians, who many thought
were seeking only dominance in
the Arab world, have tried to take
over the theological leadership Of
the whole African continent. AL
though Lomax shows that he un-
derstands Israels struggle for free
dom and self-respect, after years
Of European subjugation Of the
Jews, there Is not much sympathy
in Africa for IsraePs fight for
freedom.
The most disturbing point that
Lomax makes il that in many AZ
rican nations what il taking place
is not merely a fight for independ-
ence, but also a reversal of the
race war. The desire for revenge
against the white man is under
standable; 1t is also a powerful
emotional propellant.
In Lomax's judgment 1t seems
to be having the same corrosive
effect on African Negro leaders
that racism has had on white seq
regationists in this country.
This is a book worth reading II
you can stand strong medicine.
Lomax sums it all up with the
observation that what one sees
in Africa is change; no progress;
betterment for the black man, but
disappointment for the humanist."

THE APPROXIMATION" OF
AN AMERICAN NEGRo-Lomax
first came to my attention some
months ago with an article in
Harpers that was sharply critical
Of the leadership Of the NAACP.
1t was an interesting piece. But
many felt that it reflected a sort
OF youthful restlessness against
older leadership that was just a
trifle overdrawn. That was also
my reaction.
The Lomax book on Africa Is

In all directions. A chaln reaction
seems to have been set in motion,
with the end not yet in sight.
Unknown places have popped
into the news-Accra, Conakry,
Eldama Ravine and Katanga., The
names of the African leaders are
almost equally unknown: DR..
Yehia el-Alily, DR.. Roland Moumie,
AlNo Adjei and julius Nyerere-
these are but few of the power
full men who are trying to mold the
minds of Africa's millions.
What's happening on the un-
known Continent?
There have been a half dozen
African" books in the last few
years. None have been very good.
AS usually happens, the latest de-
velopments have sent almost the
entire press corps to the Libraries
looking up the names and the
places, searching poorly-indexed
volumes for clues to what is TAX
ing place. The poverty Of the in
formation available is, Of course,
reflected in the kind of "interpre-
tive" stories we have been getting
in the daily press.
But now, more Informative books
are being written. Capable writer's
are beginning, at last, to satisfy
our hunger for knowledge about
Africa.
The best that I have seen so far
is The Reluctant African" by
Louis q. Lomax (Harpers. S2.95).

book that commands my attention.

Another m ajor conservation
practice established during the
year was the construction of Is
farm ponds. Like drainage and
many other practices, the majority
of their ponds were established
with financial assistance through
the local ASC Office. This popular
conservation practice makes good
use of water that would, in most
cases flow into the brackish water
of the bay. Many farmers, like
Frank Zimmerman near Leipsic,
construct ponds in connection with
an irrigation system that calls for
prevent waste and soil drainage.
John Moor on the Ralph Wilson
farm near Little Creek, built
pond so that his cattle could OBJ
tain water IN a central location,
yet still have their grazing rotated
to promote good pasture manage
ment. Other farmers like A. L.
Gaskin near Dover, constructed
ponds for recreation and beauty
in a once useless area; or, like
Fred Williams of Hartley, estab
lished a farm pond for fish under
the Conservation Reserve Pro-
