we just walked in and no one knew
the difference.
The tomb, a huge, high round
thatch-roofed building stands in the
center of a large compound pro-
tected by a high fence. What
struck me when I entered the
compound was the large number
of women and the gayety.
They, were the widows of the
late Kabakas. He explained that
when a Kabaka dies, all his wives,
except the queen, the one whose
son succeeds to the throne, ac-
company the body to the tomb and
from that time on never again
leave the compound.
They spend their days feasting
and drinking and recalling the
great deeds of their fallen hero and
of the moments they spent with
him. The living Kabaka supports
them, gives them everything they
need to make life not merely bear
able, but happy. They want for
nothing except perhaps a desire
that the old Kabaka was still alive.
But their religion takes care Of
that. They believe that he is not
dead. That's why there is no grief,
but merriment instead. But as hu-
man beings they must miss his
presence.
To enter the tomb itself, I had
to remove my shoes and squat on
the floor in a certain prescribed
manner in which I was instructed
by Prince Nyabongo.
The big tombs, lined up side by
side, are covered with heavy tapes
tries and the skins of wild animals.
At the head of each tomb is
picture of the departed Kabaka
arrayed in all his garments of
authority and a special glass en-
closed rack holds all his medals
and decorations. His swords and
spears and other weapons lie on
the tomb.
The widows are constantly pass
ing in and out of the tomb. Each
comes there to spend a while with
the man who honored her by sell
Getting her to be one of his wives.
They talk to each other in low
tones. Some were stretched full
length on the floor sleeping.
1t is an eerie place with no arti-
fetal illumination and daylight
sits in only through a huge door
which is closed and guarded at
night.

were being worn by the women
to protect them from the chill of
the mountain air at night. They
are scorned here and have little
to say except to each other though
their money is welcomed. They are
also greeted warmly by auto deal
ers in Nairobi. 1t is there they dis

Generally East African hotels
are small, clean, lack private
baths (usually) just a face bowl
in the ROOM, do not have air con-
ditioning, but do have good service
(they awaken you at $50 am.
with tea) and are hospitable. The
largest room I've had was at the
Paguidas Hotel in Usumbura, Ru-
anda-U rundi.
1t was 10 feet wide, and 80 feet
long with a heavy curtain dividing
the bedroom from the parlor. In
addition, it had a large private
bathroom from the parlor. The
ceilings are generally high, IL to
16 feet, to make them cooler and
quite often wooden louvres in place
of screens. The floors are cement
or tile to Illustrate the termites.
In most instances breakfast is
included and the big meal of the
day is luncheon served from 1890
to 2:30 in the afternoon. After
that comes tea again at four, and
then dinner from 7:3O to 8 or $50.
I'm beginning to believe the rea-
son why Africans stop work in the
middle of the day is not because of
the heat, but because after eating
one of these big midday meals one
can do nothing else but sleep.
The luncheon begins with soup,
then a fish course which is fol-
lowed by the main meal - meat or
fowl or a cold plate, with a salad,
vegetables and all the trimmings.
Then comes desert, usually some
thing very sweet, then cheese fol-
lowed by fruit and coffee served
in the lounge"
With the meal, of course, you
drink wine or beer.
Now imagine jumping right up
from the table and rushing back
to work. It takes an hour to eat
and another hour to recover.

You hadn't realized Halloween

calling Trick or Treat"
After the children have all left,
you sort of day dream and think
of the golden harvest in your life.
You realize that your wisdom is
mellowed by experience and you
find you have more patience and
humility in your golden years than
ever before. You recall a line you
read in a magazine that said,
Autumn has two aspects: fruit
fulness and decay. We see which

I have come to the conclusion
that the only happy animals in
Kenya today are the wild ones in
the huge game parks. They have
land, independence and no fears or
Illustrations.
The white human animals have
land, too, but they can't sleep at
night for fear of losing it to the
black human animals. They have
power, also, but they see it grad
ually slipping away from them.
And their independence, they fear,
will be prescribed when the black
human animals win theirs.
The black human animals on the
other hand are beset by internal
strife; frustrated personal ambi-
tons, a nagging for freedom that
always seems just beyond their
reach and an Unsuitable desire to
get their lost lands back.
1t is rather ironic that in a
country controlled by the human
animals that the wild ones seem
to be enjoying life the most.
And even more puzzling is that
the human animals seem to have
a greater concern about the well
fare of the wild ones than they
have for each other.

While don't believe the average
American Negro would want to
exchange his life for that of the
average African, the black man
here definitely has a wider range
of work experience.
In government, the African -
taking the continent as a whole
works at every job from the head
of state on down, in every depart
ment, branch, agency, ministry and
division.
In business and commerce he
again works at all the jobs and, in
addition, Is often a part of owner
ship and management. Many are
on the boards of directors of the
divisions of big American corpor-
atoms that do business here.
While in Uganda, I visited the
Bugandans' holy of holes: the
Tomb of the Kabakas, very sac
red place where very few outsiders
are permitted.
I got in by virtue of my black
skin which makes me look like
any other African and because I
was accompanied by Prince AlSili
Nyabongo, a cousin of the present
KabalIa or king. He told me that
had I been white, it would have
been necessary to go to a half
dozen ministers because none
would want to grant permission
to a white man, so would pass the
buck on to the next guy. AS it was
