African Nations Search For Anthems by Tom A. Cullen Nenloaper Enterprise Assn. LONDON--From Africa comes news that should gladden the hearts of tune-smiths. Africa's newly - independent nations desperately need nation- al "anthems; they offer cash prizes, for the best tunes. Among those recently in search "of national airs are the Congo -Republic, the Mali Federation, Somaliland and Sierra: Leone. For Tin Pan Alley's benefit, the anthems need not be long-- nothing like the 158 verses of the Greek national hymn, for example. Nor need they be par- ticularly African. - Tom-tom effects are out in favor of simple words that stir (No. emergent Afridan nation has yet seen fit to follow the examples of Afghanistan, the Vatican and the United Arab Republic whose anthems are wordless) ~~ Speed also is essential. Inde- pendence cannot wait for poetic inspiration, The national anthems adopted by Ghana and Nigeria are un- likely to make anyone's hit pa- rade, They are either jingoistic or tend to extoll the nation's Agriculture and its meteorology. Ghana is called .a "bright star shining in the sky." The Republic ¥ Gules (for- merly French Guinea), on the other hand, goes in for: revolu- tionary songs praising Sekou its Marxist- trained pre- mier, Sample: "ekou Toure, [0] wilt divine _anthem was written by a Briton 2 Clo rion, hail to you! Be bless- ed, thou benefactor of Guinea, apostle of the good cause, infan! prodigy!" -= Nigeria solved the preblem by offering $2,800 for the catchiest tune and throwing the contest open to comers from all nations The winner was Mrs. Charles Kermot, a London piano teacher, "Nigerid, ~we hail thee" will swell from the throats of 35 mil- lion Nigerians after independ- ence day, October 1. Mrs. Kermot claims that it took her only ten minutes to compose the winning tune. She denies that is sounds like the boating song of a well-known girls' boarding school. The fact that their national has incurred the ire of Nigerian students, who threaten cott the tune. 1No self-respecting nation per- m foreigners to cempose ils naffonal .anthem," writes a"pro- fessor from the University Col- lege at Ibadan, Nigeria. "It will make us the laughing stock of the African world." Ghana offered an $8,400 -prize for its. national anthem, but restricted the contest to Ghanian nationals, Winner was Philip Gbeho, a member of the musical- ly-minded Ewe tribe, whose stir- ring entry begins, "Lift high the to boys" flag of Ghana." "Ghanians 'are like the Brit- ish," a 'student. from Accra said. "As soon as the national anthem is played, everyone bolts for the door." ww ur 'duplication of | per i | . -4 "ed in long..Beach, where she | "was named 'Miss Infernational } 4 ] | t 1 | %ed~ His lips twisted as he struggled to speak.

To him, ice. is a metal, one which melts at about 32 degrees Fah- '|. renheit. As a metal, in its natural state, it breaks under a pressure of merely 300 lbs, per square inch. But the professor and his team have found methods of remedy- ing that weakness. ° Their experiments prove that ice. can be' turned into a metal alloy by adding quantities of glass-type fibres. This binds the ice, and ice metal, so made, reaches a tensile "strength of a square inch.
