RHODESIA–
Land of Contrast
Rhodesia is a Jand of pristine, unspoiled beauty,
with industrial pollution nearly nonexistent. Down–
town Salisbury, population 390,000,
is
a gleaming
and modero cíty in the Western tradition. Yet, mueh
of the rural population still lives
in
a stone age
culture. Most of Rhodesia's white cítizens and a very
small, but growing proportion of its black African
citizenry live in modest middle class homes. (Photo

roan.)
Modern and ancient forms of agriculture survive
side by side. Literacy among the whites is universal.
There are no statistics available for the bulk of tribal
blacks, but the nwnber of literate blacks
is
gradually
increasing as funds for educational facilities become
available.
