There wasn't time to tell much about her as those pictures raced by on your TV screen so I thought that tonight it might not be out of order to tell you a little more about Dorothy, the American woman who has made herself something of a legend from one end of Africa to the other. Owing to the fact that we were gathering material for that TV dhow in French areas of 7 Africa, it was almost necessary to use a French crew, They were all superstitious about taking the usual script girl ., that accompanies a motion picture unit in the fiel!. But after they had been out for a few weeks, they found they really needed one. I' J l not go into the dutues of a script girl. lla11 Mainly it 1s secretarial work.

One Day 1n U g anda, at Murchison Falls, on the Victoria Nile, our French camera an crew met Dorothy Barton.
