PARISH STREET SATUR-
DAY NIGHT: One reason that
comes Saturday night, / like to
visit my favorite spot along
the Ole Avenue and enjoy a
good bate of fresh fried fish and
ice cold beer, is that ! have
found it a never failing source
of wisdom, the kind, generally
unadorned, but always express
sive of a depth of understand
ing, perhaps not readily trans
missable but at all times sat
isfying the needs for under
standing of the individuals in
a certain category. Enjoying
my fish and beer this past Sat-
urady night l was listening to
a conversation not far away,
the subjet of which was dignity.
AS the talk went on l heard
somebody define dignity after
stating that dignity was what
Aunt Haggar's Chillun's needed
to like, especially the women.
AS it was being explained, one
fellow says, You see some of
our best looking women they
just don't like for no man to act
with dignity. The first thing
they'll say is, huh, chile, ever
time you see him, he's got on a
color and tie and standing
around talking almost in a
whisper. l wouldn't fool with
him for nuthin He thinks
he's something. 1t was further
explained that this was said be-
cause most of our folks just
didn't like dignity. I had to
agree as l sat listening that this
was more'n seventy-five per
cent right. This like of apprecia-
ton for dignity is one of the
chief reasons that we as Aunt
Hagar's Chillun's are still suf-
fering from the public conduct
of most of us. ] started off to
tell how one fellow explained
the meaning of the word dig
nifty. Pointing at one of the
group at the table he said dig
nifty is the way you act your
self so that people will respect
you, but that's jest for you.
Now dignitation, that means
when everybody is got it. What
all of us needs, he continued,
for our self as each, is more dig
nifty. What we need together
as a race is more dignitation.
AS | sat watching ! knew that
everyone in the group had got
the meaning of what was being
said and perhaps to a far great
er extent than would have been
possible if dignity and its ap-
plicaticn to the individual and
the group had been explained
to them by some learned pro-
fessor. Yes, the Ole Avenue of
Saturday night is a great
place, and where most times
the understanding is far deep
er than the wisdom.

Thot UhUrU Urge
By JOHN COLLIER

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP)-African
women in Kenya have launched
their own new fashion: the Uhuru
dress.
Uhuru is Swahili for freedom. To
African women the Uhuru in dress
means freedom from age-old tradi-
tion that regarded them as hard
working chattel.
The move to get Kenya African
women out of their traditional
| dress of animal hides = or Euro
pean women's cast offs was led by
Mrs. Perez Ang' ava, % year o d
domestic science teacher of Nairobi
and wife of Dr. James Ang ava, a
specialist inpulmonary diseases.
She says that three years ago
she accompanied her husband on a
trip to Britain 1--WE went to a num-
ber of parties where the girls from
all countries all looked lovely in
their beautiful national dresses.
felt ashamed that we from Kenya
had no proper dress of our own" /"
Since then, Mrs. Ang'awa says,
she searched through just about
every bazaar in Kenya looking for
suitable material She found it e.
ventually just in time for It h e
wedding of Tom Mboya, the Kenya
nationalist leader, last january.
The material, printed by a tech
nique developed in Indonesia CEN
turies ago = the wax block print :
is made in Helmond, Holland, by a
Dutch textile manufacturer. He had
the idea that his prints would
catch the African eye One type
was successfully launched on the
West African market several years
ago and now another type is catch
ing on in East Africa.
Mrs. Ang'awa bought a four-yard
length of the bold, printed mater
ial
The dress is in three basic pieces,
a double-width length of cloth is
wound once or twice around the
body; "a two-yard length is then
wound around the middle, kept i'm
place by a ribbon on which the
material is ruffled, and a third
length used as a shawl.
Everything is held together by
ribbons = there is not a stitch in
the dress.
At all the smart PARTIES in Nairo-
bi these days, African women wear
their uhuru dresses.
Says Mrs. Ang'awa:
''They came to be called uhuru
dresses quite spontaneously.
Whether the men realize it yet
or not, they are the first real step
of us Kenya women in getting our
freedom"

Make Change Gradually
Into High Attitudes

Planning a trip to the mountains
to get away from the heat for a
week or so? So are several million
other American families.
If you're headed for some really
high mountains, above 1000 feet, it
would be wise to make the change
gradually if you wish to avoid high
altitude sickness.
Try, if you can, to make the
ascent over a span of days so that
your body can adjust ito the oxy-
gen-poor thing air" at higher ele-
vations, cautions Today's Health,
the magazine of the American Med
ical Association.
Symptoms of high-altitude sick
ness are drowsiness; headache; a
feeling of warmth and flushing of
the face soon after arrival; blue
ness of the nails, lips, nose and
ears; troubled sleep; dizziness :;
irritability, and shortness of breath.
There are some precautions that
may help prevent distress if you
have ito make a fast "trip from a
IOW ItN0l W IIlSn 0l6fd dIlOilS. Before
the trip, get good nights rest
and avoid alcoholic beverages and
heavy smoking. A good breakfast
an hour or SO before departure is
all right, but no food should be
taken during the rest of the TRIP.
Reduce physical activity during
the "trip. Sit quietly as much as pos
sible. After arrival in the h i g h
altitude area, go to bed for a few
hours and eat very lightly. Indulge
in only light physical activity dur
ing the first "a hours. Walk, don't
run, if you have to climb steps to
a hotel or lodge.
Patients with certain heart n
respiratory conditions may encoun-
ter more serious trouble by abrupt
change to high attitudes. However,
physicians have noted that m
patients with cardiac or pulmon-
airy disease who can move around

let willing hands push it hard and
high until your toes touched the
rafters or buried themselves in
the leaves. Then, as one tired, the
swing was allowed to go of its own
momentum. Each time it swung
less high until it scarcely moved
at all. And this gradual self-retard-
ing motion of the swing we chill
dreQ called letting the old cat
die"
AS childhood days have ripened
into maturer years, / note that the
practice of letting the oN cat die"
has found its way into the church.
Many a movement here, when first
initiated, dinds willing hands to
push lit to heights of achievement
and power. Then interest lags, and
when a few leaders stop putting
their strength to the task, it quick
ly. loses momentum. Sometimes it
dies entirely.
What is the reason for it? Too
many like to sit in the swing and
let others do the pushing. Also, it
is the spirit of the age to turn
quickly to something new The
child enjoys the swing for a while,
then turns to something else. The
grown-up child is little different
A new society is organized, or a
new project is launched, and the
initial interest runs very high. But
the attraction wanes quickly and
soon many join in letting the old
cat die" again.
What can we do about it? AS /
seek an answer / think of a Negro
evangelist who surprised his con-
gregation one Sunday morning
with a coffin standing before the
pulpit Of his church. His sermon
was not long delayed. In the force
full manner of his race he sketched
unSpairingly the sins and short
comings 0f him whose last rites
were being observed. AS he spoke
the people wondered who the
wicked one might be reposing in
the casket before them. As they
| wondered the sermon ended and
they were invited to pass around
the bier What did the casket con-
tain? Only a good-sized mirror and
as each man and woman looked to
find the great sinner, they saw
| themselves.
Stop reading here-jtat for a
moment. Stand before the mirror
of honest self-examination d
you may find reflected there
dare say 1.-THE speaking like
ness of 'hard-starter" or perhaps
of an 'easy-stopper. If SO, bury
him. In his stead by rigid Christian
discipline make yourself to be a

will find more abundant life and

LIZZIE AND THE OLD CAT

III every member were just
like me?

Me1noryis magic carpet is carry
ing my thinking back today to the
close of the horse and buggy era
when the motor industry was still
in its swaddling clothes. AT that
time one of Henry Ford's many
aughters-often nicknamed Liz
zies-had her boudoir back of the
church I used to serve. On frosty
mornings I often watched the own
eris son counting Lizzie ewith a
strong aTm and an iron crank,
painfully soliciting her to get
started and help deliver the morn
ing orders of groceries. But Liz
zie had an obstinate disposition.
Though her suitor cranked until
his elbow squeaked, her only re-
sponse was an occasional sputter.
But Lizzie's delays were not
denials. After further protracted
solicitation she usually changed
her mind-as others of her sex are
commonly reputed to do-started
with snort and sped away to that
days tasks.
How much all this reminds one
of the experiences of. the average
pastori Before he can get ANY,
where in many undertakings there
are always a few Lizzies-
| HenryS, tOo-who must first b c
cranked to go. This or that does
not suit them; they have not been
consulted in the planning, do not

some other equally inane reason
are loathe to share the work. Sc
the pastor must argue and per.
| suade and demonstrate to a weary
ing ad infinitum And with what
results? Backfiring-th ID C k
firing of angry words with an oc.
casional expletive mixed in.
Now the days of cranking a can
are past-thank goodness for that!
Just step on a button, the "gianr
in the box" spins the motor ant
away you go. How we pastors
sometimes wish we could attach
one of these starters to some o.
the members of our church.
And now, side by side with these

you a portrait of the "easy
shoppers" To do this go with m.
in memory to the Ohio farm wherv
