Saying good bye to newfound Indianapolis friends Sunday was a welcome and distinquished lady visitor, Mme. Sira Sissike Diop, president of the National Union of Malian Women, Bamako, Mali. She left the Hoosier capitol very much impressed by vital but often taken for granted achievements in agriculture, water supplies and consumer

benefits.

The importance of Mme. Diop’s brief stay was underlined by Ms. Stephanie Dailey’s conciding arrival. Ms. Dailey is field developer for the International Division of the National Council of Negro Women, whose members were hostesses

to the African dignitary.

Mrs. Chester Little did a commendable job of coordinating as local NCNW Internation-

al Division chairman.

'Friendly people walk up and talk’

By WILLA THOMAS Drug abuse is tabooed in the African nation Mali and poses little threat to the young. But the generally obedient attitude of youth is being tarnished, if not in some instances changed, by the popularity of violencefilled American movies. So says Mme. Sira Sissiko Diop, in town last week as part of a brief U.S.stay to check out several water and soil preservvation programs. She hopes to take much-needed pointers back to her drought-plagued country. As president of Mali’s National Union of Women based in Bomako, she sees mothers there as a greater and more stabilized influence over husband and child alike. Through her interpreter, Miss Sheila Walker of the University of California at Berkley, we learned some children “do have a tendency to steal. They see criminals glorified in your movies and try to pattern themselves after them.” Malian women like their American sisters do a lot of the breadwinning by working outside jobs. Where this isn’t possible, they labor alongside men in fields raising crops for market sales and in some households do both plus the traditional family care.

Being south of the Sahara Desert means crop tending is much harder than here, caused primarily by rain shortages and soil erosion. Mme. Diop who speaks primarily French compares her Women’s Union to the National Council of Negro Women, whose International Division hostessed her visit here. Making a special trip to greet her in Indianapolis was Mrs. Stephanie Dailey, the International Division’s field developer. The visitor considers herself one of the “more fortunate” since her husband is Bomako Hospital’s chief surgeon. “There’s much good to see in the United States,” she says. “People are so friendly and they don’t mind a bit just walking up to you and start talking.” South Africa’s racial turbulence wasn’t something she reluctantly discussed. Mme. Diop compared it to American blacks continuing struggle although “you have a greater degree of freedom.” “It took and it takes time in both instances,” she reminded us. For back home contrast, there’s the fact government*! controlled schools are not always readily acessible, many of the men still practice polygamy (having several wives) and religion, for the most part, is

altogether different. She says 90 percent of the people are Moslem, but European missinaries have made great inroads. “I note you have many women preachers. We do not have many women preachers in our country.” Diet mainstays include fish and rice is an every-meal staple. Mali produces cattle, but with the Moslem majority, pork is a “no-no.” “Food here is very good,” she says with an after-luncheon satisfied smile. “But you sometimes eat salty food with sweet foods.” Her biggest meal surprise was corn-on-the-cob, something unheard of in her distant native land. She got her fill during an Indiana State Fair visit, another marvel to her eyes. She had not personally seen “such an extravaganza” since her Paris visit six years ago. Other wonders to her were an old-fashioned player piano and displays depicting senior citizens activity. Of course the cattle were of great concern. Luncheon for her small party was in the home of Mrs. E. Paul Thomas, where the women engaged in the usual small talk of clothes, cooking and husbands.
