Mumbiro traced the history of blacks in Rhodesia from tribal life to the present day when blacks still play a minor rote in society in his country. First came the Europeans with their culture, then the whites from South Africa. Tribes fought for their independence, be said, against white rulers, using sticks as weapons. Finally, on September 12, 1890 the first flag of a central government rose in Salisbury, the country’s capital. On November 11, 1965, Rhodesia declared its independence from England and after that Great Britain went before the United Nations to declare sanctions against Rhodesia, and these sanctions still stand, with the United States joining in the sanction vote. He said blacks seek equal opportunities for all Rhodesian peoples, regardless of color, creed or race, and ask for majority rule in his country-. Whites Outnumbered Rev. Mumbiro said Rhodesia has 6.5 million blacks and 191.000 whites. A white can vote there after six months of residency, whereas a black must qualify by virtue of education and earnings. He said a black industrial worker gets about $6 per week whereas a white worker gets SSO per week -A black household or farm worker gets about $6 per month, plus 10 pounds of cornmeal every two weeks and two pounds of beans. He said the time is ripe for a settlement on black and white issues in Rhodesia. He said many blacks are executed in Rhodesia without due process of law. * .. He pointed to two systems of education: A European Minister of Education and a Minister of African Education, the European system equips a student for all walks of life while the African plan does not, but equips one for a position of servitude. The university in Salisbury has 1,500 students of which 300 are Macks, coming from Rhodesia and other neighboring countries. Blacks and whites are prohibited by law from attending worship services together, the same intermixing of the races holding true in social life. Rev. Mumbiro made a frank talk about issues in his homeland. He said much about what his listeners hear about Rhodesia comes from European propaganda Guests at the club at the Tuesday meeting were Don Buckenberger. Bob Zeldenrust, Henry Conover and W. S. Werking Syracuse men charged in Legion safe theft Two Syracuse men. Charles K. Coburn. 24 and Steven Eppert, 18, were taken into custody by county officials last Friday morning on a charge of the safe taken recently at the American Legion home in Syracuse and containing some $609.
