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-

Hurry Produces
Kitchen Accidents
Ithaca, N.Y. (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.
Falls are one of the major
kitchen hazards for adults.
One way to prevent them is
to clean up immediately the
slippery substances such as
spilled water, grease or foods.
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.
A must is to warn children
of the dangers of a hot stove.
Explain to the youngsters why
they must not touch hot
things.

chances of marriage if they
