It's summer vacation time and
my friends are planning to take a
trip up north. This will be their
first visit in that direction and
they really want to put on the dog.
They came to me and wanted me
to give them some pointers on the
way they should act and what they
should order when they visit q big
night club.
We understood each other fine,
until started calling the names
of some Of the fancy drinks. Now
you know that the folks here in the
DRY Mississippi counties are used
to two kinds of drinks. BOOT and
SEAL. Well, / attempted to ex-
plain how embarrassing it would
be to walk into a cocktail lounge
and order either of the above men,
toned drinks. Then l started NAM
ing drinks. suggested a Pink
Lady with Head! My friend
stared at me in awe and said, II
amt going nowhere lookin' for
no lady, specially no PINK one."
When told him that it was a gin
mixture with a beaten egg white
on the top, he looked as if he was
going to be sick. / could see that
he wanted no part Of that concoc-
tion. I then, named a Bloody
Mary, to which he said that it
sounded like woman fresh from
cuttin' scrape" and he'd be ash
AIMED to say that out loud. Next
came the Moscow Mule. He said
he didn't want to have nothing to
do with Russia and he didn't want
folks to think he was a communist.
| then tried the Rum angle for a
while but he said that Rum tasted
like burnt molasses' and he sure
wasn't going up north buying mo-
lasses. l suggested a Sparkling
Burgundy and explained that it
belonged to the wine family. He
became real indignant with this
idea and shouted, "Do you expect
me to act like a vino and order
that stuff in front of my friends ?"
So, l dropped that idea quickly.
l continued to make suggestions
and he found fault or flatly re-
fused to pronounce the name ccr-
rectly. l wanted to help him but
the idea seemed hopeless. From
sheer exhaustion, made one final
suggestion to which he readily
agreed. Yes, you've guessed it. |

him and buy some SEAL upon his
arrival. l assured him that he

The convention opened Sunday
afternoon with the annual Memoir

the crowd along the line of march.
The annual feature of the State
convention is first the oratorical
contest, which is followed by the
Beauty Contest, both of which

there he will receive a scholarship

Agriculture Department Helps
Mr.. Mitini's eleven-acre farm is
much smaller than most of those
owned by Europeans. He runs it
without help, except from his two
wives and four children. British
experts from the Kenya Depart
ment of Agriculture have advised
him on how best to develop his
farm and he has a warm relation
ship with Paul Langrish, the dis
trict agricultural officer, who
comes from Cheshire England.
The Mitini farm is 18 miles
outside Nyeri on a dusty road
that winds through the foothills
of the Aberdare Mountains. At
an altitude of more than 5000
feet the air is crisp and clean and
the green fields are proof of the
abundant rainfall. -+T
Mr.. Marian and his wife feel
strongly that the future of Kenya
and of Africa depends on all races
working together: Their farm is
part of the so-called White High
lands, an area Of many thousands
of fertile acres that has been re-
served for European farmers. Un-
like many of, their neighbors, the
Marrians believe the White High
lands should be opened to Afri-
can farmers who have proved on
farms of their own that they
could make good use of the land.
II have three hills on my place
that I'd like to make available to
African farmers and help them to
cultivate them," Mr.. Marian said.
We've got to break this White
Highlands barrier. 1t never made
sense and only aggravated feel
ings."
A proposal to end the legal pro-
hibition of African land owner
ship in the White Highlands is
pending in the Kenya Legislative
Council, but conservative Euro
