CHOPPED HAM (Imported from Denmark) 1.49 AND MANY MANY MORE VALUES I Complete Sales Paper Available In Our Store I ^_I About The United States Two Years K West Africa Hasn’t Defiled Burch’s Mind By Teresa Burns Post Staff Writer Two years in Ouagodou eou. Upper Volta (West Africa) hasn't defiled Toria Burch's mind about the United States. The emphasis of going back to our roots played a major part in her decision to live with her uncle, aunt and cousin- in Onagodou gou But she admits, “It's a nice change but 1 would prefer to live in the states permanently.” Since her uncle, William Gaymon, works with the United Nations, his family was stationed in West Africa two years ago. His daughter, Nicole, was then 13 and wanted her cousin Toria Burch, daugh ter of Gloria and James Burch, as a companion in the strange land "I thought I wouldn't get another chance, so I de cided to go," Ms. Burch, who is now 16, explained. Both-Toria and Nichote attend a private French school in the city. Both were put back a grade because courses are taught in French. Ms. Burch caught onto the language fairly quickly and was allowed to skip a grade. She was promoted to her correct 11th grade as a result. She has learned French. Spanish and Latin at the school and even has to take English. “But they teach the British English and they have words I have never heard of before," she explained. This is a learning ex perience for the entire family. Reading about various countries often takes you there in a pe culiar sort of way. But actually being a resident of Ouagadougou has given Ms. Burch understanding and even compassion for the city. The following are Ms. Burch's impressions of the city. Living Quarters: “If you can afford running water and electricity you can get it. But about 70 percent of Toria Burch African resident the people live in houses in the bush made out of clay with straw, tin roofs and no window panes." A whole family may live in a circle of huts with a _mud fence around them. They'll have chickens and sheep and grain. Each hut may De about 10 feet long with cement floors, a bed and a chest filled with the family's treasurers." Gars: NO Onehas^a— drivers license in Ouago dougou. Anyone can drive anything. I have seen little children driving large motorcycles. There is no speed limit, no traffic violations, and they act like it too. Since there is no public trans . portation many of the resi dents travel by Mopeds or bikes." "Most roads are not paved. The roads that are paved are bumpy and they don't have lines. Downtown there are lights." j Prices: “Since the coun try does not have many resources, they import from France. By the time the product is shipped there the price has tripled. Gasoline is $3 a liter.” ..Dress: "In restaurants it's rare that you see wo men dressed in pants. Blacks in Ouagodougou who have money wear clothes from Paris, France. The men may wear suits or African robes. Jeans are coming in _over there now also." 1981 Datsun Longbed Pickup • # 5 Speed, Body^jde Mold- Stock No ing, Sliding Glass , ,QO_ * Doors.

"The women and little girls have doughnut shaped round pieces of cloth on top of their heads to haul pots of water or fruit._ "They use. the Upper Volta woven material which is called More. " I.anguage: "The people in the village speak the language also called More.” Government officials of the country have to be able to speak French also. Some of the villagers can speak French, especially if they sell in the city. They have to know French to communicate. Some also speak English. Children learn French in school.” iteligion: "The churches are either Muslim or Ca - tholic. There is one church in English for the 200 or so Americans in the city Most of The ATnerrcans-are-witb the Peace Corps.” Government: ”The go vernment of Upper Volta was recently taken over by force and now has a mili tary president. The presi dent now is black Oua gadougou is the capitol of Upper Volta and has about 2 million residents. " (entertainment: "There are no McDonald's or other fast food chains there There is one air condi tioned movie theatre But there is no candy or pop corn in the theatre _"We have the comforts of home air conditioning and TV but there is nothing really on good to watch." -Ttm-ttainv ■ -Krnm -lung to August it w itl rain every other day During this time nothing grows But when the rains stop the harvest is plentiful The fruits are better during the dry season." _ Read The Post!
