Jungle Experts Prefer Elephants To Taxicabs
New York (U.P.)-Elephants never back up, remarked blonde, charming Michaela Denis to explain why she considered Africa a safer place to live than Manhattan.
But taxicabs, she moaned as her husband nodded agreement, do. Go in reverse, that is.
Mrs. Denis and her husband, Armand, experts on Africa and co-producers of jungle films, said an elephant is easier to dodge, even frontwards, than a taxicab.
"Our house will be about ten miles from Norobi and we can buy beef from the natives who raise their own cattle," Mrs. Denis explained enthusiastically. "Our cook is a Kikuvu and he has filed teeth.
"We do get charged by elephants more than anything, don't we Armand?" Mrs. Denis said in her precise, English accent. "But we always get away. Elephants are very shortsighted, and often they make one or two false charges before they really go for you."
The disadvantages, like having 27 fions within walking distance are shrugged off by both.
As soon as British-born Michaela gets her American citizenship papers, and Belgium-born Armand gets necessary equipment for their next safari, the two will leave for Narobi, in British East Africa, to build their home.
Parts of African living would appeal to any couple, like being able to buy beefsteak for 14 cents a pound and hiring a native male cook for about $14 a month.

jungles, photographing native life that is rapidly disappearing."
We're seeing the end of the great epic struggle of primitive man against nature, the jungle expert said.
"Just as an example, in the Masai country where we live, no young man was qualified to marry until he went out to the jungle and killed a lion with a spear." Denis said. "That was 25 years ago. Today the natives call the game department and report it if a lion is annoying them."
His wife interrupted to say "We recently crossed the Belgian Congo and saw one antelope."
They both conceded there were sections of Africa still well supplied with wild animals. They'll probably find them too. They've already crossed Africa five times since they met and married three years ago in the mountains of Ecuador.
