to accept the presidency of Ken
ya's largest political party, the
Kenya African National Union
party, did not come as a surprise
to observers who have studied the
Kenya political scene over a period
of years. Kenyatta has always
been considered the true leader of
KANU.
When the party was first regis
tered with the Kenya government
as a political unit, Kenyatta's
name was listed as president. How
ever, the government refused to
sanction the proposed party lineup
with Kenyatta as chieftain. KANU
substituted the name of James
Gichuru, Kenyatta's right-hand
man, as president. Gichur's duties
were to hold the party intact until
Kenyatta was released from re-

When young girls become brides
they are very happy when they
can take over their new home and
not have to ask anyone to help
them with the minor details. They
have learned how to cook a little
and they know how to keep the
house clean and from that begin
ming, they take over.
Mary 10, young bride, was try
ing to do her laundry one day. She
started early in the morning, like
her Mother did. BY two pm. she
was in tears and finally walked
across the street to a friend of her
mothers and asked why her starch
dld not look right.
Mrs. Lloyd went home with her
to see what the trouble was. Mary
10 had used up a whole box of
starch and every pan she owned
had starch in it. She had put the
hot water on the starch! Mrs.
Lloyd got her a box of starch and
showed Mary 10 how to mix the
cold water with the starch first
and then slowly pour the hot
water in. AS soon as Mrs. Lloyd
had shown her she remembered
how it was done. Now, many years
later, Mary 10 says she remembers
that day. She found out she could
MT be too independent, but if you
need help, ask for it. That is the
way with the world today. Some
are trying to be too independent
and will not ask any help from
anyone, but go blindly on in
their own way, which is not al
ways the right way nor the best
way.
To stop the little wars before
they begin is to start with your
self. If you enjoy peace within
yourself you do not go about MAX
ing trouble for your family or your
friends, but you help create peace.
You see the good in people and
will go more than halfway in get
ting together with your family and
others.
A person who is at peace with
the world radiates peace. His home
is a peaceful one. He goes out of
his way to create peace wherever
he is.
If we have peace in our homes,
clubs, churches and in all of our
states, some bright day the whole
world will be trying to become a
lovely place to live because we
have earned it.
II hold the unconquerable belief
that Science and Peace will tri-
umph over Ignorance and War,
that Nations will come together
not to destroy, but to construct,

those who accomplish most for

couldn't make it," spoke strong
ly in favor of better and more

the state, attaching "speculating"
on water development and taking
out of production fertile land for
other purposes.
There is nc justification for
speculation on water" Bolack
said. "When individuals file on
water simply to speculate" on fur
ther development, changes are
needed in our water laws"
He explained that he could un-
derstand a person filing for water
which he would actually use but
opposed people filing only for
speculative purposes. Il feel very
keenly on that" he emhasized.
