Many shops reported an in

these cases the posters were re-

file Of Oct. 8.
The British Governor Of Ken
va, Sir Patrick Renison, has
been trying for two months to
bring together the two main
Kenya African parties KANU
(Kenya African National In
ion) and KADU (Kenya African
Democratics Union). For the
past week Sir Patrick has been
in consultation with Mr.. Maud
ling about major decisions the
British will have to take if the
African leaders cannot agree to
work together.
The African leaders them
selves have been blaming Sir
Patrick for timidity. Tom
Mboya, general secretary Of the
KANU, arrived in London Oct.
20, and said so very emphati-
cally.
Another arrival due this week
is that of Michael Blundell, Ken
ya's white Minister Of Agricul-
ture, who has to tell the British
Government that it's terms for
resettlement of about 100000
acres of the once exclusive While
Highlands with 10000 African
farmers is unacceptable in Ken
va.
This set back is regarded as
particularly regrettable because
resettlement of the Highlands
has been considered a matter Of
the utmost urgency if racial
tensions are to subside.
The full seriousness of Ken
ya's economic plight is shown by
documents privately circulated
by the Kenya Treasury. These
documents indicate that Kenya
faces a budget deficit of be-
tween L6,OOO,000 (S16,000,000)
and 100000 in a budget
whose revenue is only about
L30,000,000.

principal slogans for a cam
paign Of their own.
"Our effort started as a re-
suit Of the riots in Salibury
and Bulawayo in July, $780,"
said Mrs. Elizabeth Maynard,
spokesman for the housewives
committee. "We were conscious
at the time Of rising tension
and we were appalled, at the bad
behavior in buses, trains and
particularly in shops where
whites and Africans come to-
gether."
Ads Open Campaign
The campaign was started in
a small way with advertise
ments in the personal column
of Salibury daily newspaper.
One ad read: "Civility costs
nothing and buys everything"
Another proclaimed: at may
be flattering to some of us to
be designated boy no matter
what our age, but not to others.
A courteous form of address
should be expected of every
one."
The latter add referred to the
habit of many whites in eastern,
central and southern Africa to
refer to all African males, what
ever their age, as boy This
practice is one that is particu-
larly resented by Africans.

With encouragement from the
Salisbury committee, similar
groups started courtesy cam
paigns last year in other cities
of Southern Rhodesia: Lusaka,
the capitol of Northern Rho
desia, and johannesburg, South
Africa.
Free newspaper space, re-
duced prices from printers, do
nations from as far away as
England and much bigger
public response than expected

drive, Mrs. Maynard said.

the Government market de-
clined as much as 1A points.
The scarcity Of new offer

credited for the strength Of the

Based on the AP average Of
go bonds the overall gain was
four times better than the De-
cember rise. All components of
the average finished higher.
Almost all intermediate and

Legs always have been an
important part Of the femi-
nine figure ensemble, but with
skirts as short as they are
now, leg contour plays an
even greater part in attrac-
tiveness.
When skirts are long, a
thick ankle is not so appar-
ent and pipestem legs and
those with very large calves
go unnoticed. Happiness in
life does not depend on the
shape Of a leg or a nose or
a figure, but we might as we'll
do what we can to improve
any defect we may have.
The shape of a leg depends
on several factors. First,
there is bony structure. Then
there are the muscles and, Of
course, fatty deposits. The
most usual complaints from
readers concern large calves,
bulging thighs and thick
ankles. All Of these can be
improved by the faithful use
Of the correct exercises.
Leg beauty also depends
on good grooming. No matter
how lovely the shape of a leg
is, If it is covered with hair,
the effect is spoiled. You can
remove this superfluous hair
by shaving or with a depila-
tory. This must be repeated,
Of course, but the results are
worth the effort. Electrolysis
is the only permanent method
Of removal.
This last winter was a hard
one on the feet. Even a couple
of weeks Of special care can
make a big difference in the
good looks of your feet, and
they are certainly out in the
open with summers open
toes, sandals and bare feet.
The habit of massaging a
good body cream or a creamy
lotion into the rough places
on the heels and into the
cuticle about the toes will
bring you comfortable and
attractive results.
