For Life I In

Miss Enid Margaret Crippe, 32, youngest dsugliten of the lste sir Stsfford Crippl, formerly Chen- eellor of the Exchequer under the lsborlts guy rninent in Great Britain, recently was married to Joseph Appiah. an African tribes- vnsn from the Gold Coast. In the following exclusive interview. which she has read and approved, she tells of her plans for is new life in Africa.

By SYLVIA SHORT

LONDON (NANA) - In the If t exclusive interview she has gi'.'"n since her wedding last July 18. the former Enid Margaret Cripps spoke to this reporter of her marriage to Joseph Appiah, an Aslirr ' tribes- man from the Gold Coast.

"We hope to leave for sometirne in November." she said, 'but our plans are rather unset- 'tled at the moment. I am looking forward very much to living on the Sold Coast and we hope to be able to settle there permanently, but this will depend on where Joe's uork takes him."

The tall, auburn-haired Mrs. Ap- oiah, 32, who is the youngest daughter of the late Sir Stafford Crlpps, former Socialist Chancel- .or of the Exchequer, said that her family had been in no way oppos- -.d to her marriage and that she and 101' husband frequently spent the week end with her mother, Dame lsobel Cripps, at her country house.

"My mother hasn't been able to see much of my husband as she would have liked, but we hope she will be able to come and stay with us in Africa," she said. "My far.:- ily knows the sort of work I am in- terested in and that I have friends of all nationalities. so they were not particularly surprised when I them. of my impending marriage. My father died. unfortunately, be- fore he had a chance to know Joe and he only met him once briefly some years ago, befo-.- I knew hl”I

Joseph Appiah has been studying law in this country --r1 expects to take his finsl examinations in the early fall. He then hopes to return to the Gold Coast with his wife.

First Problem

Peggy Applah a---l "er first problem will be to lcarn the As- hanti language, which is called Twi, a task made more difficult by the fact that there are no good textbooks on the language.

She expects to live in a con- crete house, complct. v."”i all the usual modern conveni-"ces, includ- ing s. refrigerator and though she will have servants, si-- hopes to run the home and 10 more of the cooking herself.

"I expect my time to be fully tak- en up looking after my husband and running my home." she said. "Certainly We hope to have a fam- ily. Both my husband and I adore children: I have 14 nieces and nep- h9l.l'E.",she added with a sudden smile. 'so I am not unused to them."

Mrs. Appia'- said that she would

not send her children back to school in England. , "They will be Africans and ishould be brought up in their own Country. My husband was educated ,at Mfantsipim. one of the oldest lMeth0dl!l5 boys' schools on the Iclold Coast. with a high academic ;standard, and he would naturally plike his sons to go to the same school.

Africans Friendly

"We don't expect meet with any hostility on the Gold Coast, where there is 8. good deal of in- termarriage. One of my brides- 'hl8-lds. Akua Boadu. is the little daughter of an Ashanti friend of Joe's and his German wife.

"I visited my husband's family and friends in Kumasi sevemi months before my wedding and EVETYOHE was most kind and hos- pitable. They are not worried about a person's color or nationality, but only what sort of person you are, I have already made many friends there and will be far too busy see. ing them toworry about the one or two who might be prejudiced."

Pessy Crlpps met her husband when she visited the West African student's Union shortly after she returned from nursing her father in Switzerland in 1951. Joseph An. piah was and is president or the union.

"We are both very fond of music, GSPECIB-lly Beethoven, and poem, and we gradually fell in love like any other normal couple," ghe said.

Though they did not officially announce their engagement until shortly before the wedding they had been unofficiall ' since 1952. Y mgagm

Mrs. Appiah said that her hug- band's law studies have been in. felillpled It good deal by his pom.

Cl! hwork. which he will continue on is return to Amos, 3, 1, the Personal representative in London of Dr. Kwane Nkrumah. Prime Minister of the Gold Coast, and a close friend of the premiers.

I-fer affection for hr" husband in evident and her hazel eyes gm..- kled when she spoke of him. "Joe ' V"-Y lmllllhs and extremely 5004 Company." she said. "'Any Pmbm” W! may have are the normal ones enCD'dl......c:l by any YWHK 00131! newly married. It is my "hn" "W W lldiust yourself w en one has been leading an in- dependent life!

In her passing we think lept-

ember was like 0. winsome little bride of the month, whom we know, blue-eyed. sunny-tressed,

fair and pretty, who. "just folded my wedding gown and veil-and slippers. wrapped them in tissue and laid them away."

"With I wish?" we smiled. She blushed in the newness of her ;' tion.

"Well, I won't say" she returned with s. chuckle," perhaps one day-who knows? I may have daughter to wear them" r

50. we fancied, September put away tenderly every happy taken

other harvesting-every scene and delight. every pleasantry of dawn noontide and dusk; all those sights

gether so beautifully the hours.

Even the harvest-moon, mellow but lustrous in the quiet night- blue went to some place of return to provide again the perfect back- ground for September nuptials for the couples who in an exchange of vows are then no longer boy and girl but all at once an adult twain.

Presently in its stead will ap- pear the moon of falling leaves which belongs to October . . . Is October, we wonder, a girl? A we- men perhnps? Or a man armed with hunter's weapons? One who for, it would seem to us, little gain

reaches of the farmlands . . . "If

fully a feather of those wild ducks

we had seen brensting happily an air-lane into the flame of sunset

not long ago, "or touches ii pa'tridge along this road!" we threatened.

"Dear bless you, women!" an

avid gunman laughed "ii there were no open season on game, they'd soon eat you out of house and home! Look what the con- founded be-avers are doing to your poplar groves! You'll soon not have so much as a leaf of one left." "Yes" but look at the example of industry they set!' we countered with a. chuckle.

"Hul'l3ph!" he snorted." To my mind. we don't need examples of industry on farms! Let us odd times look to the ways of cricket instead!"

A women. we believe. Octobe is-one whose brown tresses are commencing to be touched with silver; eyes dark and kindly but not so bright as once. For have they not seen much? The milrscle and promise of springtime; the beauty of summer, the fulnese of harvest . . .

One that gives the gold of the pumpkins to the gardener and winter-apples ruddy-checked for

the barrels of cellar; and on the same wind which rustles with lone- some sound through the eere corn-

stalks sets seeds a-float-satin- brown. intriguingly winged and tufted; and to make toothsome

treasure-trove for the children, the cradled wild hazelnuts, the tri- comes of beechnuts.

One that opens, row after row, the crop of Island potatoes, fills barn-cellars with succulent roots for the livestock and in "a new song" patterns the fields of the farmlands.

Yes, we think, October is e wo- man, quite lovely and blessed with the many varied traits of femininity and-we suggest it modestly!-like- ly to be extremely interesting in consequence.

Until tomorrow - - - - ---- Good-night.....

A Sailor'S Lass

She Regrets Jumping To Conclusions, But He Is Now On The High Seas

DEAR MISS DIX: For five. months I went with it sailor. and by that time we were becoming quite fond of each other. We got along very well, except that occasionally I'd tease him too much, which seein- ed to annoy him. We saw each other every week-end until we had a disagreement that kept him away one week. Later, he called up and said he couldn't see me the following week-end. I was very angry and wrote

ADOROTH

Then I learned that the reason he hadn't been able to see me was because of a death in the family. Naturally I felt very sorry and wrote him a letter of apology. I haven't heard from him since.-that was two months ago. I know, through a mutual friend, that he isn't going with any other girl, and still like: me. Now he is doing sea duty. I don't want to do anything impulsive again, but wonder if I should write to him once more.

Now your problem is to convince the young man that you realize you made a mistake, that you are heartily sorry for it, and will not repeat it. That may take some doing! In your favor is the fact that he's away from home, undoubtedly homqsick, and likely to prov; -receptive to any mail.

EARLY OPERATION FOE STOM- ACH ULCER. MAY PREVENT DEVELOPMENT OF CANCEII.

When a patient consults his phy- sician about his "indigestion" and the symptoms present for weeks or months, and the patient is from 30 to 40 years old, the physician will usualbr advise X-rays of stomach and intestine. The X-rays will show whether the indigestion is.caused in inflammation of lining of stom- ach, an ulcer of the stomach or first part of the small intestine, or cancer of the stomach. In some cases, test meals will be given to estimate the percentage of hydro- chloric acid present in the stomach

digestive Juice.

While stomach ulcer is always I serious condition, most cases can be controlled by diet and medicines. However. as an ulcer can develop into cancer. physicians now sus- pect development of cancer until this has been disproved.

In Minerva Medicine, Turin, Italy, Dr. F. Soave states that during the last four years are pat- lent! with gastric (stomach) ulcer were seen at the University of Genoa surgical clinic..and 352 of these underwent operation. Urn: death rate was low (1.5 per cent). The microscope revealed that in 127 (17 per cent) of these patients the ulcer was malignant (cancer) and yet in all of them only ulcer had been diagnosed. only to per cent of these patients were still liv- lng at the time of writing but their general oondition was poor and suggested early death

Dr. soave suggests "that strict diet and medical treatment should be begun whenever X-rays reveal I gastric ulcer 1.5 cm. (shout half an inch) in diameter in a. person so to 40 years old who has had dyspepsia associated with an increase in 3 to 4 weeks of diet. and medical treat- ment, if the ulcer is benign (not cancer) the pstlent's symptoms will have disappeared and the x-nys will show that the margins of the ulcer are less evident and its dia- meter has decreased. In this case. the diet and medical treatment should be continued for 50 to 60 days after which the ulcer should be cured. If. on the other hand, the ulcer picture has not improved after the first few weeks, the pat- ient should be operated on without delay since the growth might be cancer.

"The sooner the decision is taken. the better the late results will be. Early surgical intervention in these patients will avoid perforation of the ulcer, sudden hemorrhage. and development of cancer of the ulcer."

I believe the above sugg ” for patients and pnyslclsna should mean much in prevention of cancer and its trail of symptoms.
