She wanted more out of life than her teaching post in Guelph was giving ner, but she had no clear path to follow and no job in the offing. offing. But, fate had laid a path for her, as she found out when the letter from Operation Operation Mobilization Mission Society in England arrived asking her to teach the chil-' dren of missionaries on board the 6,800 ton ship, Doulos, on its two-year voyage voyage to East Asia. The ship would carry 300 passengers, including missionaries, missionaries, their families, and crew, to exotic places such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore. Their mission was to spread the word of Christianity to the peoples of these lands. "I knew very little about the trip," said Carolyn. "All I knew was I was going to be a teacher on the ship!* Once under way, Carolyn began teaching grades two to four to the children of families who had no access to schools while on the ship. "Some of the families had signed up for a four or five year trip, and their children had to be educated on board," she said. Their first port of call was Manilla. Here, Carolyn had her first glimpse of the grinding poverty some of the citizens endured. "Entire parts of the city were built on garbage dumps. The children were dirty and naked or nearly so. The houses were shacks built from cardboard or sheets of aluminum. The smell was awful. It will always always stay in my mind," she recalls.Although there are some very wealthy people in Manilla^ Carolyn ana her shipmates were seldom accepted accepted into their homes. It was mainly the middle classes classes who welcomed the Doulos missionaries into their homes and provided them with food ana comfort. "The middle class, rather than the rich, were veiy hospitable. hospitable. They invited us into their homes and shared their meals with us." The mainstay of their menu, both on board and off ship, was rice rounded out with vegetables. Although once, she had the dubious pleasure of eating dog meat, an Indonesian delicacy.

"Corey Aquino (president of The Philippines) is trying to make a difference in the lives of the people. But it is difficult in a country where natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods compound compound the problems and discourage discourage any lasting reforms," reforms," she said. Spreading the Christian gospel is not easy in many of the Moslem East Asian countries. "It is against the law to approach a Moslem and talk of Christianity," Carolyn said. "But if they approached us and asked us wnat we believed in, we could have a discussion about Christianity." Through the efforts of the missionaries on the Doulos, many converts were accepted accepted into the Christian faith. The passenger list on the Doulos was an international roll-call. Forty countries, including including Canada, England, Africa, Australia, United States and many European countries were represented. However, Carolyn observed that there was "very little friction" among the passengers passengers who were bunked four to a stateroom. And, any grievance was overcome by a simple "Christian apology." The Doulos visited 14 countries countries on the O.M. Christian mission. Thousands of people people in those countries received received bibles, books, posters, posters, hats, t-shirts, and postcards from the floating bookstore along with the good word about Christian fife. Carolyn admitted to being being afraid only once on her journey, in spite of experiencing experiencing four typhoons and a fire on board. "One day, we were trying to get back on board the ship and there was a milling crowd of thousands waiting to get to the on-board bookstore. bookstore. We had to wade through them. It was quite frightening, with all the people people reaching out to and pressing against us. This was one time that I felt really really afraid," she said. When asked whether she would return to the Doulos in the near future, Carolyn said she didn't plan to do so. "I found it very stressful being being with so many people in a confined space. I'm glad to be back home." Along with the usual memorabilia, memorabilia, such as: sandalwood sandalwood fans, a boomerang, a bamboo wind instrument and other knick-knacks, Carolyn brought home her Australian nusband-to-be, Tony Cave. "Tony and I are going to be married on January January 19th," she said with a grin. The newlyweds will remain remain in Bowmanville for a year, then go into missionary missionary work. But that is in the future. Now, Carolyn is glad to be back home, even though she still misses the sea. "It was a very successful trip." The Community Hall at Tyrone was packed on Saturday Saturday morning with craft displays ana home-cooked baking that drew a tremendous crowd of eager potential potential customers. Above is only one booth loaded with at tractive Christmas gifts and there were dozens of others others throughout the hall. No doubt the organizers were pleased with the results that came from their extensive extensive decorating and general handling of the project. &ete6n<xte& 55t& AHHiven&vty Happy 21st Birthday Brian Mom, Dad and Blaine jj 1 r i m ■ ; \r : Pj ft * to t, M 4, , M ■ f I * l fe- „ - V- 1 - ' - --- . .1 ,■ s-'-». . nfevv*" ; . -s? ■4- ' ..
