18 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursday, October 31, 1963 oman Of British Dies Hard In Africa a WILLIAM. FARNSWORTH LANTYRE, Nyasaland (AP)--the Union Jack may be coming down over stretches of. Africa, but ome symbol! of British colonialism still waxes strong--the early morning cup of tea. Those hollow - eyed foreign diplomats and trade commis- sioners who furtively stifle yawns at the conference tables of emerging African governments. have not been pos | on expense ac- counts. It's the ritual, pre- dawn drumming on the doors of their hotel rooms that leaves diplomats in British Africa bleary-eyed. Promptly at 6 a.m. comes thunderous tattoo. The sleepy visitor, fearing that at least the hote] must be on REPAIR KNEE ST, LOUIS (AP) -- Surgeons repaired a damaged ligament in John David Crow's right knee Wednesday, but the St. Louis Cardinal star back will be out for the rest of the National Football League season. The Cardinals announced they have put Crow, St. Louis' top ground- gainer last season, on the inac- tive list for the remainder of the year. Crow's knee, injured earlier in the season, was dam- aged again during the Cards' 21-7 victory over Washington Sunday. fire, staggers to unbolt the door. He is swept aside by a white-clad, be-fezzed steward, whose white teeth flash im a smile as he announces: "Morning, bwana, tea." He dumps the metal tray on the bedside table with a Merve - rending crash and sweeps out, CAN'T BE STOPPED The shattered guest creeps back under the blankets, gazes at the teapot with jaundiced eye and drops off for two more hours' sleep-- while the cup that cheers grows cold. Wearing dark glasses and toying with a breakfast of black coffee and a roll, the foreign visitor decides to put an end to the imdecent early morning ritual, At the reception desk he finds a little book with the legend "Morning tea times." In bold capitals beside his room number he writes: "'No morning tea." That night he composes himself for sleep, a smug smile on his face. Peace un- til at least 8 a.m., he thinks. | But as the local chanticleers | loosen up their vocal chords | for reveille, the slumbering foreigner is blasted out of bed by an unholy tatoo on his door. This time he knows the hotel is not on fire, so he pulls | the blanket over his head and | tries: to sleep. But the tea tray crashes on the table | inches from his ear. Lifting a corner of the blanket he sees the broad back of the African steward vanishing through the door. The man turns and smiles-- "Morning, bwana, your tea. I couldn't wake you so I came through the window." This time the guest gives verbal instructions: "I said no morning tea, please, No, I don't want coffee instead, or orange juice or anything--just let me sleep." That night the visitor locks the door, barricades the win- dows, plugs the keyhole and disconnects the telephone. Next morning the pounding on the door resumes. The guest takes no notice and when the din abates, sinks into sleep. Two hours jater, refreshed, he emerges trium- phantly from his room--and steps into a tray of cold tea outside his door.
