. . ti ya,HomeOf Man Man Attacks With the end of the Man Maa war offieUBy called the "emergency by the BrWsh-an uneasy peace has returned to Kenya. ? ' ?a this Texas-sized British Crows . Colony on Africa's east coast live people o ( several races. Some 00. 000 Europeans share the country with IS, 000 Asians and Arabs, and (.000,000 Africans. ^ Less than an hundred terrorists of the Kikuyu tribe remain at large and their energies are apparent!/ focused on simply staying alive. They are unarmed and refuse to sur render Many are alone; the sur viving groups seldom exceed two or time men. They hide by day In the cold, wet forests on Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range, trapping small animals for food and using the skins for clothing. At night, they emerge to steal vegetables from European and African farms. Of the 80,000 Mau Mau once held In detention camps, fewer than 5 000 are reported still behind barbed wire. Under the terms of a govern - ment rehabilitation program, form er Mau Mau have been persuaded to resume constructive lives on the Kikuyu Reserve. "The main thing is to give these people a goal? something to make them see that there's hope for them to get back on their feet," said T. G. Askwith, Commissioner for Com munity Development and Rehabili tation. Heartily tired of bloodshed, many former Mau Mau have embraced Christianity, education, and new farming methods. Near Embu they have irrigated a large stretch of dry plains for rice growing. This scheme will draw many Kikuyu set* tiers from the overcrowded land in the Reserve. Much Is being done to improve the lot of the African in Kenya, but the land problem? the root cause of the Mau Mau movement? still re mains. More than a million Kikuyu are packed into relatively small Reserve, an area of fertile plaTeau country surrounded by Waterless plains and bush. There is no place for the excess population to go. A political Issue was made of the fact that 12,000 square miles of highlands are owned by EunpHii settlers. Most of the region; was ranch country obtained by treaty from the pastoral Masai who mov ed elsewhere. Bat Ktkuyu leaders told their people that the settlers had stolen their land, V When Man liwcl^ Jfc* basic aim was to drweHfie eans from Kenya, regain the lost lands, and restore the ancient trib al traditions which missionary in fluence had broken down. Mau Man failed because (ts brut ality alienated the majority of of the KHcuyu tribe. When terrorists tried to recrutt in his area, Chief NJiri rallied his clan and marched into the Aberdare forest .where the Mau Mau were strongest. He sent for the biggest Union Jack avail able. hoisted it on a 60-foot flag pole, and resisted all attacks. In the extremely fertile Kikuyu ?Reserve, British agricultural ex perts have taught the people to ter race the hillsides and improve their living standards by growing cash crops like coffee, tea, and pineap ples. An extensive reforestation program is conserving son and wat er. A once classic example of land abuse is now a model of proper land usage. - ' FARM QUESTIONS QUESTION: I heard that tomatoes were once considered roisonous. Is this true? ANSWER: Yes. A hundred years ago tomatoes were just a curiosity and considered poisonous. Today, however, more than 750,000 acres of tomatoes are grown in the U. S., placing them third only to white po tatoes and corn in acreage. For the best flavor and color let tomatoes ripen in a dry place at between 55 and 70 degrees. Let them ripen in the light or dark, but never place on a window sill.^ fright sunlight causes abnormal, uneven coloring. School Placement - A _ .
