Currie Nairobi, Africa, . January 12, 1969 We left Rome Airport at ' midnight, January 11 on a Brit- ish Eastern Airways Constella- tion which would hold 180 pas- sengers. Flew at 37,000 feet about 650 m.p.h. The hostess served goodnight drinks. I had a glass of milk. Some of the troop slept some. I didn't go to sleep at all and since the lights were turned off there was nothing to do but think..I had a window seat but the port- holes are small so vision is .limited:. At night there, is nothing to see anyway but a few stars and the moon. ' It was a small crescent upside. down with points sticking up, and very bright. A few yawns law, at 4.15 Rome time, ' die fixst Mush of dawn appeared, then the clouds began to show up. The plane was above them.: It looked like an irregular forest. We were flying east of south, so the sunrise was not directly off the wing but half towards the front. As the light got brighter the clouds began to turn white. They were piled up in grotesque shapes. The sun first showed up at 4. 50, then the clouds were beautiful. Soon the lights came on in the aircraft and the passengers began moving around, packing up blankets and pillows. The hostess brought breakfast. It ,is quite a chore serving that many people from the 'narrow aisle, especially with people, coming and going. They served a nice meal, scrambled eggs rolled in bacon, roll, butter, etc. I got milks then a cup of coffee for a chaser. Landed at Nairobi 6.30 Rome time but it was 8.30 here. There was no baggage inspec- tion but passports medical books and tickets had to be produced. No problem. The tours agent met.us with Velks- wagen busses. They carry sev- en with luggage in back. The road to the hotel was smooth blacktop, wide, with flowers and trees most of the way. The flowers were all colors and "Cancer can be beater The Canadian Cancer So- ciety 411 be launching its Ap- ril campaign with a new slogan - and revamped educational ad- vertsing. It emphasizes a more hopeful approach to the cancer disease. The new slog- an "Cancer Can Be Beaten" ii backed up by the names and photographs of cured patients who provide personal testimony that they "have beaten cancer': The four cured people who volunteered their case histories to the Society for this cam- " paign did.so with the intent of taking the fear out of cancer and encouraging other Canadi- ans to seek early treatment should they detect any unusual sigre. All four of the people in the series live in soudfern Ontario, although the program will be used nationally. Mrs. Florence Bendall of II beautiful. Nairobi is about 5,000 feet up and temperature on arrival was 58 degrees. The hotel, The Panafric, is on a hill with 'd steep ramp to the door. It is a large, modern place in a beautiful setting with correspond- ingly large and b e'a u t i fu 1 charges. a ' Many of the group caught some shuteye but I had a bath. Put away my winter shirt and underwear and put en my Christmas shirt and summer socks. We had lunch from a self -serve smorgasbord; all . kinds of choices but not much fit for me to eat --too highly seasoned. I has soup and cold beef and another kind of meat I thought was ham but the pig - must have gotten away. Pine- apple cubes and a glass of milk for desert. I had a real hassle convincing the black boys I wanted cold milk from a cow. -It isn't done, you know, but when it came it was good. Burlington, who once had breast cancer, is one of the people used in the promotional pro- gram. We finally got away on a city tour. First call was she Arboretum and park with differ- ent varieties of trees. .There were a few other people in the park. They :got a picture of half a dozenlittle darkie chil- dren. I gave each one of my Canadian nickles. There was also a Hindu family with, three little girls and they each got a nickle from Canada, too. • Next stop°was the snakepit, a closed in pen with _dozens of different snakes, lizards, mud • turtles, two biggish crocodiles and a few smaller ones. Across the road is the museum con taining.stuffed specimens of ' allthe wildanimals of Kenya, fish and birds. There were a Couple of closed inpens of Kenya birds at the snakepit but they weren't very impressive. We have more beautifulbirds in Huron. Through the swank part down State Road, past all the cabinet ministers' homes, the foreign embassies and through .the business section. Being Sunday there were lots of strollers, mostly blacks, some Hindoos. There are a lot of Hindoos in ' Kenya. *They were brought here to build, the rail- , way line and stayed, then oth- ers came, including the work- ers on the other side of town. We drove through the Afri- can section, a dismal sight With shacks built hit and miss . of anything, no design and not much protection. They carry on' alt kinds of business in these shacks.a-hair cutting, handi- crafts, dispensing food, etc. ° Back to theshotel for the night. Packed my big bag for storage as we will tour away. from Nairobi but will be back. January 13 Same bus, same driver, William Osaka (that is how it sounds, probably spelled wrong); He is of the Ibitsu tribe. Speaks besides his tribal tongue Swa- hili and English but is hard to understand. We drove to'�the post office- to get stamps dies crossed the street for a hat as protection from the sun. The or'dinaty hats they had were too stall for fny big heard so I got a floppy -black woman's hat.

PETER KEIL 23-30b The women in the group said it looked good on me, one even said it did something for me. Then out of the city to a tea plantation. They own 500 acres of tea .and also buy the production off 2,000 acres of estates and small holdings in the area. The pickers' get 910 ' per pound. Picking starts at _7 a. m. and only the top ,two. leaves and bud are taken. A long bamboo pole is laid along the bushes -and they pick to that, keeping the tops of the bushes level. Pickers toss the plucked leaves over their shoulders into the bags they carry on their backs. A good picker can average 100 pounds, ranging . down to 55 pounds. The leaves are dumped into sacks and tak- en to the mill. , They begin to arrive about - 10 o'clock. The bags are weigh- ed and unloaded .on .the plat - "forma Payment is made on , Weight. The bags are.taken up- -stairs rd suspended on hooks on an endless chain. The leaves are dumped into drying racks to wilt. I told you last year how tea was processed in Japan. In Kenya the principal ,is the same but themethod/ different, Kenya just processes black tea,of different grades but all from the same leaves. This plant had a lot of ma- chinery but there as a lot of hand work, too, s me quite strenuous. They a ploy about 60 people. , The chaps tending the drying machines have to be _ skilled or the whole .run could . ` be ruined. The tea is packed in large, light wooden cartoons bound with tine: Most of the production goes to the United States but they arenow ship- ping some to' England. 4 10% SHUR-GAIN BEEF, SILASuPPLEHErn' NO. 1 BEAVER FARM SERVICE DEPT.
