But perhaps the most important point of all has
to do with the children themselves. They may

to families lacking grandparents or aunts but ex-

And, an important point t. it doesn't matter much

she must continue to be one while raising her
children. She must continue to grow, and this
seems to require stimulation from outside the home.

his wife in a non-official ca
pacity simply as an act of
friendship. And other fa-
miliar American faces were
the Philip B. Browns at the
Congolese, and. the Robert
WallachS at the Mauritanian
party, which was given in
Sheraton Hall at the Shera-
ton-Park.
The reason for the dearth
of American Government Of
ficials is not known. Accord
ing to the people involved,
engraved invitations went out
to an important roster. It
could be that the Africans,
themselves, have downgrad-
ed their Washington posts
somewhat by putting so much
emphasis on their United Ma
tions delegations. Or it could
be that there is more con-
centration on the. doubtful
countries.
FRANCE WAS WELL
REPRESENTED at both
parties. French Ambassador
and Nine. Alphand went to
both and at the Congolese
they, as we'll as French Min
lister Claude Lebel and French

Commines heard high praise
of their country from AM

after the reception began, the
host took the microphone to
read a brief speech marking
the occasion, and to present
to Amba ssador Hahn Of
Ghana the Congo's Order
Of Merit, rank of chevalier.
Sometimes revolutions are
made with bloodshed. said M.
Dadet, but the revolution
that gave Congo her in
dependence was peaceful
thanks to President de
Gaulle and the French gov
ernment. The Congo, he
said, had the best possible
relations with France and
was grateful for the culture
it had received from France.
The decoration for the Am
bassador of Ghana, which
couldn't actually be given to
him because it had not yet
arrived. said Ambassador
Dadet, was being awarded to
underline the solidarity OF
African peoples.

REDUCE SILAGE LOSS

IT has become a standard prac-
tice with many to cover their
silage with plastic film of some
type. These silage covers can cut
feed losses in silos from 5 to 20
percent if used properly. However,
if used improperly, these plastic
covers have little or no value.
Some suggestions in covering a
silo with plastic film include the
following. First, buy a cover wide
enough to cover the silo with one
sheet. A single sheet gives you an
advantage in that you have no
Joints to seal between sheets. Use
dirt to anchor plastic sheet firm
ly to the ground. Bales of old hay
can be used to hold the film down
on trench or bunker silos.
Remember, 1T is important to
cover the silo the same day you
finish chopping the silage. Mos
of the value of a cover is lost i
