INCREASING HERDS or
CATTLE ENDANGER
AFRlCA'S BIG GAME
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON. - Cattle pre-
sent an old problem in the turbul-
ent newness of Africa.
To many East African tribesmen,
the COW is more than source of
food, the National Geographic
Society says. The herd is more than
the family bank account and the
equivalent of a two-car garage,
wall-to-wall carpeting, and mem
bership in country club. The COW
is mystic possession without
which life would be meaningless.
The Watusi, for instance, have
written poems containing as many
as 1900 verses to extol the virtues
of a single cow. The highest
compliment swain can pay to his
maiden is to imply that she is
bovine.
Thus pastoral Africans cannot
readily understand the alien view
that their everincreasing herds are
overgrazing pastureland, causing

A herdsnan often farms out cat
tie with friends to guard against
epidemics. The practice tends to
consolidate friendship not only
within tribes but among inhabit-
ants of far-flung villages.
Where the tsetse fly plague and
East Coast fever have denuded
areas of cattle, credit system has
evolved. Marriage cattle may be
pledged until conditions change.
Though cattle are status SYM
bols, owning them is an intensely
personal matter. The herdsman
knows his own and his neighbours
animals by sight. His happiest
hours are spent with his livestock
admiring, stroking, and inventing
pet names for favorites.

In all the clamor for different
management and employment of
better qualified men, and night fer
ries through the years, the poor
pay given employees of the ferries
has never been pointed out. The
operation of a boat requires a de-
gree of skill, even if man is only
a deck hand and merely handles
ropes. If he is any good on a boat,
he must have had experience on
boats. He has to think quickly, and
act quickly on occasion. Yet he is
given the lowest pay on the high

crew has a graduated pay scale,
and the driver of the truck gets
more money than the men who
merely shovel dirt. If the State

Teen Tip

Probably the most difficult
time for a girl to makeup
properly is during her teen
years. She wants to look Just
as well groomed as the older
girls, but doesn't want to
look too made up for her age.
Here are a few tips from
Max Factor, Hollywood's mas
ter of makeup artistry, to
help the girl in her teens look
as lovely as possible without
being overly made up.
Use lipstick in pastel shades
and learn to use a lipstick
brush so you can apply the
Ipstick perfectly. For a pale
face, add a touch of rouge
to give a healthier look.
Apply only a little founda-
ton makeup and a light
busting of powder in a shade
that matches your own COL
oring, but at all times guard
a g a inst using too much
makeup. Youngest members
of this age group should use
just a light application of lip
stick and face powder.

tude, or to indulge in a hob
by which interests you.
8. I am taking it for
granted that you mark off
time for your manicures and
shampoos and daily baths.
9. The addition of facial
and neck exercises will pay
lovely dividends and take
only a few minutes.
Many of these routines
can be combined so that they
do not consume so much
time. For instance, you can
leave cream on while you do
your housework, you can do
your neck and facial exer-
ciseS while in your bath and
you can plan menus while
your hair dries.

Q.-I would like to know just

Is it north weather, southwest
weather or what? Shouldn't it
be better to call them wind
vanes"? They show only the
direction where the wind comes
from.-E. P, Stratford, Wis.
Al think we can all agree
even TVS weather girls who
are usually the worst informed
of all-that the wind direction
does have something to do with
weather forecasting. In ancient
days, before even such rela-
lively simple meteorological de-
vices as barometers were per-
fected, wind direction must
have been one of the most i'm
portant elements in the art of
telling the weather in advance.
So the "weathercock," as the
weather vane was originally
called, has been a term In
standard use for more thar
eight centuries. Chaucer wrote
"as a wedercock that turnett
his face with every wind
