party of strongman President Kwame Nkrumah Quai-soo-Sackey was promoted ever tor heads of older officials to his post as chief of (telega-lion Made Fees to Process His meteoric rise Is said to have made the young diplomat a number of political foes it doesn't appear to bother him 1 A staunch admirer of Nkrumah By TOM HOCK UNITED NATIONS AP) convivial young delegate from Ghana has in little more than a year become a leading spokesman for some million black African In that brief time Alex Qual-loo-Sackey hai played a key role In ramming through the General Assembly resolution! ranging from a denunciation of South Africa's racial policies to a staunch defense of Secretory -General Dag Quaison-Sackey denies the few Hammarskjold'a policies on the mier ha the ambition of a die-Congo In the face of bitter Soviet attack His demeanor as standard bearer for the dark continent has roused mixed emotions Admirers hail him aa a rising star in Africa's expanding firmament Critics label him a flashy orator with the tactics of a rabble rouser At 36 party-loving Quairnn-Sackey is one of the youngest ambassadors to bead a delegation in the 99-nation General Assembly and one at the most energetic His duties range from international debate to helping his fellow Ghanian delegates knot their unfamiliar neckties Keenly conscious that Ghana holds a front-row position among Africa's members Quaison-Sackey Is an aggressive debater "The trouble with Quaison-Sao-key" said one Commonwealth delegate "is that he seems to tator despite to fact that many who opposed him have been Jailed or deported "You have a dictatorship in a country like ours where the masses are highly politically conscious' he declared Reminded that only about on fourth of the seats in Parliament are held by the opposL lion Quaison-Sackey asserted thif was a testimony to democracy Oxford educated Qualson-Sa key hat a far more worldly background than moat of his colleagues He studied tatemationaf law at the London School of Economic and was attached to the' British Embassy in Rio de Janeiro When independence came in 1957 Quaison-Sackey was to the office of the high commission in London and was later named bead of the chancellery' To then it but one God the Fether of vhom on oil thin ft end in In him ond one Lord Jetut Christ by whom ore oil things ond we by him llowbeit there it not in every num

enlightened In tlie name of Jeaua Christ our Lord we pray Amen Abilene United Fund Needs Helping Hands Let us face up now to an unpleasant fact The United Fund has passed its campaign deadline $44000 short of its goal In times past Abilene has sometimes not reached its UF goal but only by a small margin This deficit this year is a big one The UF has only about 86 per cent of the money budgeted for the 17 agencies who look to it for support UF goal was $317350 Total pledged is about $273270 UF workers think the fund is too far from taw They fear member agencies will not be properly financed So the UF has extended its deadline and on Monday will launch Disaster" one final all-out effort to gather in enough dollars to get closer to the objective The size of a gift to the United Fund is very much the personal decision of the individual or business firm involved But there are some things to be taken in consideration in deciding the support each will give to the UF Firstly there is the matter of personal ana community pride in meeting obligations Abilene traditionally has met demands on it Drives have netted what the causes needed if not always what they asked Secondly the 17 agencies which are members of the UF are worthy ones Everybody particularly interested in every one of the 17 but lumped together Boy and Girl Scouts Salvation Army YM and YWCA Boys Ranch Rehabilitation Center Negro Nursery and all the others they form a most important segment of community life Thirdly the plan of "united giving" will be discredited if the people do not subscribe to it When agencies went together and set up the united drive plan some years ago camnaign-plagued Abilenians took to it gladly Give once for all was the idea Now if the UF agencies cannot get ade-ouate suoport in the ioint effort see more of them staring their own monev drives The nublic we know would be vexed by that Fourthly united drives save money for the giver Say a person gives $100 to the UF It Is distributed to the 17 agencies in proportion to need Of the $100 Girl Scouts get $595 the Rehabilitation Center $945 the Negro Nursery $176 the Mental Health Association 63 cents and so on If each of these agencies- asked alone the giver could hardly give in pennies The individual drive would not touch all the people The load would not be distributed Handling the 17 civic endeavors with a single united drive seems best would now be good business it 8 ears for all to Join together and pull le UF out of the hole Vote Should Be Big The decision at the polls next Tuesday on a $242 million city bond proposal should not be made by a mere handful of the voters as is too often the case in such bond elections The law provides that decisions bona issues must be made by the people whose tax money supports the bonds Qualified taxpayers will vote next Tuesaay The decision they make wnether for or against the bonds should be the majority opinion of the mass not the majority thinking of few It is important to the pocketbook that if the bonds are approved they are approved by a big majority The size oi the support matters to bond buyers and credit rating institutions Those who purchase bonds want to know they will get returns and they can be sure their risks are small if the bonds have popular support of the taxpayers involved bond issue up to the people Tuesday is by no means the biggest Abilene ever approved But it la nonetheless important why the city government asks the bonds: A considerable amount of work needs to be done various We Just Don't Make Sense appoint-ed there A

to perform some of the tribal dances Hie ebullient diplomat la rise something of a jazz buff One-night last April while out on the town with a couple of his countrymen he dropped in at Birdisnd in the

recreation a city repair and maintenance shop and for the sewer system The money would be spent over the next three years Voters can vote for or against any one of the five or all of them But city

the country and the 1960 tragedies seem to be mounting From elsewhere in the nation have come reports of deaths of three and four and five children in single home fires Adults have died Gose at home too there have been tragedies death and serious injury The fight to keep fire under control is as old as man himself Modern methods of warming homes and cooking food have cut the danger but still fire is a menace Homes and habits should be checked again here at the beginning of the cold weather to see that the dangers are minimized Hazards should be recognized and eliminated Watch those flowing robes around open-faced space heater Be careful around the fireplace Take caution when using inflammable liquids for cleaning stuff oily dustcloths and mops away in a tight closet And remember
