"A %>annq Concern
Africa
only 1
‘potholes’
difference
of many, Ag says
By PHYLLIS PONDER
Battalion Reporter
Texas drivers are used to watch
ing for potholes, but in Africa on a
recent safari one of the trucks was
driven into an elephant trap.
There the natives dig holes to trap
animals instead of using guns, said
Tom Gillis, who recently returned
from his third safari in Africa.
Gillis, a 1942 graduate of Texas
A&M University, and his wife
Frankie spoke to about 70 people
Thursday night in The Memorial
Student Center on hunting and tak
ing pictures in Sudan, Kenya and
South Africa. His lecture was spon
sored by the MSC Travel Commit
tee.
The slide show Gillis presented il
lustrated the everyday lifestyle Afri
can natives have. He said the na
tives are very similar to The Ameri
can Indian in their tribal system.
One tradition some Africans still
have is that men buy their wives for
$25-75. The annual income per per
son is $20, Gillis said.
“If you’re not satisfied, 20 years
later you can take her back to her
father and get a full refund,” Gillis
said.
There are few paved roads in Af
rica and they last only for maybe two
miles into the jungle, Gillis said.
Since practically none of the natives
own cars and only one in 20 owns a
bicycle, most of the natives walk.
Gillis estimated he walked more
than 250 miles on his last 28-day
safari in Africa.
Gillis said the natives he visited
still hunt for their food. He said
everytime the natives hear gun
shots they come running because
they usually know something has
been killed and want the meat.
While the Gillises were in Africa
they killed elephants, water bucks,
hippopotamuses, lions, zebras, cape
buffalos, gazelles and baboons. They
also ate what they killed except lion,
which he said didn’t taste good, and
a 20-year-old elephant.
“My son cooked that elephant
meat for 28 hours in our oven range
and it still tasted like shoe leather,”
Gillis said.
They traveled as far as they could
on the roads in a diesel-powered
Toyota with his guide and driver. In
Sudan a government employee is
required to go with any hunting ex
pedition to make sure all the game
laws are observed.
The Gillises went to Kenya only
to take photographs.
“I strongly recommend a photo
graphic safari since it is like going to
an outdoor zoo,” Gillis said. Tourists
can’t hunt there.
“The animals are totally oblivious
to you as long as you don’t get out
side the vehicle,” Gillis said.
This was obvious when the audi
ence saw a slide that was taken 15
feet away from a lioness.
Now you can call
32 people
without even knowing
their phone numbers.
Whether you re involved in
community activities or busy organiz
ing an active household, think how
much time you spend looking up and
! dialing the same phone numbers,
every day.
Well,you could keep doing
things the same old way or you
could come to the GTE Phone Mart
jjjand get our Automatic Dialer 32.
It remembers the numbers
| you call most often and dials
| them for you automatically. All
you do is find the name and press
the button.
Four of the buttons are
I color-coded for emergency
| numbers for those times when
every second counts. And
they're easy for kids to use too.
The Automatic Dialer 32 even
has a special 'last number called" button.
It automatically remembers your last manually-dialed number. So, if you get a busy signal,
you can call back without re-dialing.
So take some time out of your busy day and come in to see how the Automatic Dialer
32 can save you time.
Put an Automatic Dialer in your life.
