D EER AND SCUFFLES is true that Grace Scott's piece about
the ,u.eer halls in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasa- idnd was datelined 'Lusaka,' but, a week or so ago, I !Pent an hour wandering around several of the beer na,Ils in Bulawayo and find her description sadly Misleading. I can't believe, for example, that there is all that difference between the two places: the mugs to which the beer is served in Bulawayo were not Made of 'rough, handleless tins' but of white poly- thene. and 1 saw them being thoroughly washed. Heaven knows, there is plenty to worry one about ,m, anY aspects of African life in the Federation, but me article 'Beer and Scuffles' gave, I thought, an unnecessarily jaundiced view about an enterprise which not only provides invaluable money for a m,Ilitude of civic purposes, but which seemed to me fufly 't) ule efficiently and imaginatively run.—Vours
faith-
