,-, THE NAMIBIAN FRIDAY ~p~iI18 1986 9

BY GWEN LlSTER __,

WHAT LIES AHEAD f()fNamibians after August 1, the deadline set by South African State President P W Botha, for implemen­ tation of Resolution 435, provided that agreement has been reach­ ed ona Cuban withdrawal from Angola? It has already become evident that there will be no agreement on a Cuban withdrawal by that date, and the Angolans have dug in their heels as far as the implementatipn of the United Nations Plan is concerned. The obvious conclusion is that there will be no implementation of Resolution 435 on Mr Botha's target date, but there may well be developments inside Namibia towards a more permanent government.

'CONSTITUTION' IS NEARING COMPLETION

ACCORDING TO certain informed sources, the 'independence constitu­ tion' presently being drawn up by the socalled Constitutional Council headed by Judge Victor Hiemstra, is nearing completion. Despite vehement promises by the Chairman himself that Namibians would be informed 'every step along the, way', so that when the 'con­ stitution' was eventually adopted, it would be totally familiar to them, there has been little information emanating from the corridors of the Turnhalle. .

AG 8 IN PRESENT FORM WILL GO

THOSE WHO HAVE seen the document which will apparently provide for a 'new deal' for Namibians, are of the opinion that AG 8 will definitely go, but they are concerned about what its replacement will be. There has been much speculation in the media recently about the suc­ cessor to the detested bantustan Proclamation AG 8, There has been talk about 'geographical regions' , rather than 'ethnic kingdoms', but it is not li kely that the successor to A G 8 will herald the tot al scrapping of the bantustan system. , Most speculate that the 'new constitution' will be a somewhat watered­ down form of AG 8: watered-down enough to satisfy groups such as Swapo-D and Swanu (MPC); and watered-down sufficiently little to satisfy the white National Party and Rehoboth group in the interim government.

'GEOGRAPHICAL' UNITS VERSUS 'ETHNIC' AREAS By N ashilongo Elago AT PRESENT, in terms of Proclamation AG 8, the country is divided I into virtually self-governing ethnic units, with matters such as health and IT IS PAINFUL to note that in this perience, or if they have compleied _ _ education usually tightly-controlled by the groups concerned. country some people who call military service.

THE PLIGHT of children in Namibia today is be­ ing exacerbated by ris­ ing unemployment and a resultant breakup of the family unit. At the same time there are few homes and orphanages for children who ' are either unwanted or homeless. We feature some of the children on these pages today in the hope that more care and attention will be devoted to their plight.

SOS CHilDREN'S VillAGE was started when it was established that a definite need existed in Namibia for a children's home. The only other or­ phanage is one run by an Afrikaans church for white children. .

In compiling this page, we found that there was no cooperation from the interim government's Department of l:Iealth and Welfare, which did not respond to frequent calls and messages from The Namibian to obtain statistics of homeless children; those who the victims of child abuse; and the many who do not attend school. The Department of Welfare of the White Ad­ ministration referred us to the Department of Na­ tional Health and Welfare, where we could get no response. If this attitude is indicative of the amount of attention given to this problem in Namibia, then the solutions are still far off indeed. The matter came to our attention when Pastor Dermot Thornberry of the Methodist Church discovered that there were children at the Katutura soup kitchen, who were orphans and who roamed the streets. Michael, 14, was a case in pOint. He has been homeless for some time, wandering the streets by day, and sleeping on the stairs of the Win­ dhoek Theatre by night. Pastor Thornberry took him to the SOS Children's Village, and he is now in their temporary custody, pending a report from Child Welfare. SOS Children's Village, according to Fritz Strydom, who runs the orphanage, is open to all children, and presently has 19 children in its care. The Village was started in August last year, and has children from all over the country. 50S also creates a home environment for the children, with house mothers and personal contact between the 'mothers' and the children. . Head of the Council of Churches Welfare Department, Mr Vezera Kandetu, commended the 50S Children's Village for their work, and said that many family units were being broken up, par­ ticularly in rural areas and socalled homelands, where dro ught conditions were hard-hitting. Homeless children increased as unemployment rose and families were unable to afford the ren­ tal of houses. He emphasised it was the respon­ sibility of the government to look after lhese homeless children, but said that the Department of Welfare was in a state of 'disarray' . ------~ --- -.-______~ ___~_ ~ ______-- ___...__ •_ _..:=_-____ ...... , _ C':::______-'- ______

Our aim in reading is not only to go over LOOP. This command allowed us to tell the program to repeat the words quickly, but to unders,tand and remember what books.

To do this we use the GOSUB command: The syn­ average English first language speaker will have a reading wanted their pupils to be able to read at least their own language, for such ability is the foundation upon which tax of the GOSUB command issirnilar to that of the GOTO command. speed of about 250 to 300 wpm, but some people have Its syntax is like this GOSUB and then a line number, preceded of course reading speeds of 1 000 wpm or even more. Of course if all further learning rests. Teachers often made out long lists of difficult words and had their pupils study them. by a line number of its own. We will start a new program this week and you are not fluent yet in English, you may have a reading also add a few things to the PRINT and INPUT commands that we have From: An Introduction to the Dictionary speed of under 100 wpm.

The command GOSUB 200 that appears in line 110, 130 and 150 tells the program to continue at line 200. The program prints the informa­ tion that we entered into A$ after printing the information between in­ WllDVI& verted commas in line 200. When the program has done this it gets to line 210 which says RETURN. The command RETURN tells the pro­ " gram to continue with the line immediately following the line that said GOSUB. ' So this program would ask you for your name and then print it, ask you for your POBox number and then print it and then ask you for your best friend's name and then print that. When it reached the com­ mand END the program would stop.

The use of the GOSUB command here has meant that the PRINT com­ mand only appears in the program once and that we can re-use it many for 0 tradiLionol times from different parts of our program. We may have many lines bet­ ween the line that is specified in the GOSUB command and the RETURN command, just as we could with the FOR - NEXT LOOP.

The commands that we have used so far have enabled us to tell the computer to repeat things and generally to save us having to include the same lines in our programs over and over again. But there are also com­ mands that allow the computer to make decisions. The most common of these is the IF command. The syntax of the IF command is IF logical decision THEN command. FOUNDATIONS The logical decision part of the IF command means testing to see if Walls must be built on foundations. Foundations stop something is equal to (=), less than, greater than, or not equal to the walls from cracking and they help to stop the walls something else. There are other logical decisions that can be made, but becoming damp and weak. these four cover most situations. We could for instance test to see if one number is equal to another number or if a name that has been entered There are many different kinds of foundations. You can is equal to another name. We will start a new program that includes IF build foundations under the ground by digging trenches commands. and filling them with rocks or concrete.

Concrete foundations are trenches filled with concrete. Use a spade to press out all the air bubbles in the concrete. This is how we persuade the computer to make decisions for us ! The trenches have to be level, otherwise the wall will crack. Level the concrete to the top of all the pegs inside the Here are the new words that we have learnt this week: But if you build a long level trench on a slope, it will be trench with a plank. very deep on one side and shallow on the other side.

VERY OLD MONEY by Stanley Ellin Andre Deutsch R36,90 (Hard cover)

THIS NOVEL is a fine study of revenge arrd the use of people as in­ struments to achieve an evil objective with a vengeance. It is also a vivid description of the protocols, priorities and limitations _ of life in a mansion owned by the super rich. Michael and Amy Lloyd are young schoolteachers who find themselves suddenly without work. After a bitter time of walking the streets in search of employment; they decide to take up work in the live-in household staff of the fabulously rich Drurie family, one of New England's oldest dynasties. Michael, a budding writer, becomes the family's chauffeur, and Amy takes up position as confidential secretary to Margaret Drurie, doyenne of the gamily. Margaret was struck blind in a mysterious accident more than 50 years ago and withdrew into a shell for most of her life. Two years back, her spirit is revived and she begins to take an interest in life. In the dark recesses of the Drurie household, a plan for revenge takes shape and the Lloyds are used as the unwitting partners in the scheming which leads to a shattering climax. Four times winner of the top American mystery writers' Edgar award, Stanley Ellin is an expert story-teller with an unusual sense of ambience.
