Judging by last vesr's reunion, there'll probably at least 150 members of the clan from as far as Louisiana, California, Canada, and Hawaii.

That would be about half the more than 300-member Van Kouwenhoven-Conover Family As-iociation, a 66-year-old group that traces its ancestry to Wolphert Gerretse Van Kouwenhoven. who came to America from The Netherlands in 1625.

Neighboring Senegal would love to have Gambia Join it. SPECIAL SALE 3 Pc.

Sectional Some Gambian politicians say Ghana, far down the coast, is angling to have Gambia link up in a union involving Ghana, Guinea, and Mali. The bulk of Gambia's predominantly Moslem peasant farmers, struggling to make a living from growing peanuts, are not greatly interested in such things. They are more concerned with feeding their families and giving their children the education many of them lack. Gambia is smaller than Connecticut and has a population of only 300,000. The colony pokes into Senegal like a long finger, and geography suggests that union with Senegal would be logical.

But Senegal Is French-speaking and its administrative system and currency are different. Senegal, though independent, 17 to 24 lbs. Avg.Wgl. Swin's taifiL ULlAUULj If cJ -tin wtmmmamHUMiltmf Ik umi Ib. See our large JC selection.

Political leaders in Gambia, where the official language Is English, are close to Britain, relying on It to prop up the country' shaky economy. Independence Not Preteed Gambian leaders do not teem in a hurry for full independence. British officials hope Gambia will not delay too long.

They want to avoid possible international criticism that they are holding on to their last West African colony. Meantime there seems a reluctance on Britain's part to provide financing for development projects, including two the Gtm-bians believe essential a modern airport and port Improvements. Gambians assert Britain hesitates to put more money into plans that could be absorbed by Senegal when the colony gets independence. Bathurst has one of the most modern high schools in Africa, built with British money. The general hospital is imposing and well equipped.

There are still British officials dedicated to the work of improving agriculture, education, and health services. Housing Mostly Slums On the other side of the ledger, Bathurst has no African housing programj for the population, most of whom live In slums. The capital has no public library, though books are loaned to members by the semi-official British Council. Nine out of -ten Gambians live on bare subsistence level, with the lowest per capita income in West Africa. Until less than 10 years ago farmers plowed primitive tools, a kind of Dutch hoe and a sock sock (hand trowel).

Since the Introduction of Internal self government in May, the country has been run by a premier and seven ministers. The British governor Is still responsible for security, external affairs, and the civil service. .47 ANTI FREEZE 2-or. i cans 5 )Z) )V 19' 29-oz. can Limit 2 There no substitute for th molt ttstod molt truittd Anti-Freoio.
