Preparations for the climb are many; money to be cbanged, rentai of clothes, arrangement for guides and twelve por- ters; Warren was made leader, nomlnated because lie was the oldest of the group wbo were going together. A slow bike Up the hAll and the golden rule la, i"Af you are breathlng through your mouth you are goin too fast." As tbey waiked up the path, ants became numerous, thousands of them. He was unable te take pictures of them because tbey covered bis feet' and legs, cllmbed up bis arma and covered bis waling stick whk e had put on the ground. Trying te, focus bis camera .wbile belng bitten by thousands of ants la not easy. Some parts of the walk were like the Amazon ramn foresta wlth many moss covered trees. At this point they hlked for five miles and three hours te make thé Manadara hut at 99000 feet. Tbe accommodation was great, a huge A frame wlth 24 bunks upstairs. Darkness setin at 6:36 so at 7:30 to bed, with the temperature at 4 celsias. Durlng, the nlght a rucksack, jacket, flashligbt and boots were stolen. Someone who had followed them up and camped below. Twenty three miles away Warren's first glixnpse of the peak. At this point a few' snow leopards and evidence of many wild dogs and buffalo. Huge blackblrds and a slghtlng of a huge eagle; below the -climbers saw at this point many small lizards and lubelia plants wbich only bloom every seventy years. One of the guides, Fatali, 40 years old and the father 0f eight cbildren bas clinbed the mountain over 400 times An eighteen years.

Very bright moonliglt due te very thin air. By now they were feeling very light headed and some had headaches while others bad sunburn. As Warren said the clouds below them were building likeatomlc bombe. Long and cold nights with ice on the groung. Often'sleep evaded them but the kept going wlth their chapetieks, sunscreen, stunglasses and bats. At -this point tbey teok four-and-a-half hours te travel 10 miles. At XCbohut, 15,520 feet they were just dragging along with frequent beadaches. At this level Iotà of white necked ravens flylng about. Cold in the after- noons under full sun and the Kibo but was freezing just 3 degrees south of the equator. One bour sleep but up at one a.m. for the final but bardest. climb.

Another cbap developed severe resplratory problemas at 1700 feet and wanted to quit but the guide wouldn't let hlm and bit hlm wlth a stick!I There were only six left now and tbey reached Gilman's Point at 18M4 feet and t took six bours to go tbree-and-a-half miles Up. Two more headed down, one a woman who was very sick, but the four remaining climbers carried oni up to Whuru Peak, 19,314 feet whlch took one-' and-a-half bours to climb one-and-a-balf ml, es. Now they were at the hlghest point ina ai of Africa wlth an Incredible view at the top. At this point Warren felt sice and fatlgued in fact i think he was sick to bis stomach nevertheless he feit a great sen- se of accomplishment as he signed the book at the top. This was by far the hardest task lie had ever faced in bis life. Wbat s t An a man's being wbicb makes hlm per- servere and use strengtb of wll to do such a tblng? It must be a special determination and stubborness wich few ofus have. Two montbs 0f exploring and t la impossible to relate much of t due to lack 0f space. Warren saw hundreds 0f brds 'and animals, hundreds 0f varleties. This brlngs te mind our wonderful zoos. In the wllds and even An our area the cruelty 0f nature la often a dreadful, thlng. Animais being disem- 'boweiled by others, tern from limb to 11mb, sick and dlseased. Not so An zoos; they are cared for in every way. Medlcated, vitamlzed, weil fed wlth lots 0f thouglit in regard to nutrition and their welI being. If you arein doubt talk to the head game keepers at 'the zoo and they will be happy te explain what their program is. These days the animaIs bave a grt deal of freedom in-a natural babitate and one can see bow weil they are cared for. How fortunate evern a bunnie fromn our garden would be in the Metro Zoo to be protected from ail the dogs and foxes. The animais are confined, yes within limita but they are sale and weil cared for in every sense. If you talk te the zoo keepers, ask questions and you. will come away more knowledgeable and happy to know the truth. We should know that our Care packages and money sent to Communist countries ends up i the market place to be sold at great profit. Top level poiticans bave ail they want; the rest find most thinga unavailable or much too* costly to buy. The only thing we should send as we are doing now are men and women experienced in their own fields to teach, neyer money or goods.
