Roles Changing For Africans, Observer Reports Haverford, Pa. (UPD Afri can women, caught up in "agonizing transitions," need the sympathetic understanding of American and European women, Mrs. Dorothy Steere said following a three and one-half month trip through the Dark Continent. "They have an important place in the continent's de velopment. Much depends on their capacity to adjust from the old life of the tribe to the changing demands of western civilization," she said. Mrs. Steere and her hus band, Dr. Douglas Steere, pro fessor of philosophy at Haver ford college, visited Africa for the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker agency. African women, still living in simple tribal communities of the bush have difficult roles in relation to their hus bands, she said. "In the Kikuyu tribe in Kenya, the education of wom en lags far behind that of the men. During the Mau Mau movement, many of the wom en fell under the fanatical leaders. They were among the most ardent participants in the sordid crimes of the pro testors," she said. Character and Dignity Problems of another group of African women involve those who leave the security of the tribe for the city. They often live on "locations" in small houses with little or no land. Children have fewer tribal pulls, yet "much de pends on what the African mother selects and transmits to her children." "Cities like Leopoldville in the Congo are setting up so cial welfare centers for girls and .women. Vocational schools are organized to teach skills they need," Mrs. Steere said. She praised the "tremend ous character and dignity ' of the African women. Educated women face many "serious problems" in Africa, according to Mrs. Steeres. If they study abroad, their prob lems of readjustment are dif ficult. In Ghana, men fear that educated girls will not make good wives and moth- Mr. and Mrs. August H.

(UPD The homemaker who bustles while preparing meals at home had better slow down. The kitchen can be a dangerous place. Hurry produces a multitude of mishaps in the kitchen, says the New York State college of home economics. This can lead to carelessness and care lessness to accident. The specialists urge the homemaker not to wait until the last moment to start meal preparations. Planning pays off in safety, better meals and a happier family.

A safe step-stool will elimi? nate another danger that of climbing on chairs, boxes'and other objects when reaching for high shelves. Many cuts can be avoided through proper use and stor age of sharp knives. Wash them individually, never leave them in the dishpan or dishwasher and put them away immediately after use. Burns are another cause of serious injury. Keep pothold ers conveniently near the range, and get in the habit of using them. Tongs also are handy for handling hot foods.
