Bivand after visit- ing his mother and sisters in England and seeing Miss Herberta Thurston happily married and settled in her new home. He was one of the wedding guests. Mr. Bivand says there is far less war talk in England than in Can- ada, and far iewer unemployed due to the fact that England is making it worth while for every unemployed man to enter the army, navy or air iorce. England believes the way to keep peace ir. the world is for her to be so well prepared the other nations will be afraid to attack her. g Personafls Mr. Vernon Thurston and friend Mr. Robert Burns of Guelph, spent the week-end at the former’s home here.

MISSIBNARY IN AFRICA WRITES We are now able to converse some- what with the natives in their own language, but there is still much ground to cover in language study. With all their sin, superstition and ig- norance one cannot help but love these people. And by their actions we know Dear Friends of Bobcaygeon; Greetings from the Heart of Africa; Mary Watt. The guest speaker was Rev. P. C. Howard, and the topic of his speech wasâ€"“Will our civiliz- ation survive?” and was greatly en- joyed by all the members. Although I am 8,000 miles away, I have not forgotten any of you, and want to send a word of greetings to you all. To write a personal note to the many whOm I should like to write to would be impossible, so I trust to reach you all through the press. I am thoroughly enjoying life in Africa, and although there are many trying experiences, I do rejoice in the privilege of being here. We are not quite used to our “wee mud huts,” and they are much nicer than usually imagined. All our walls are made f red mud, but when whitewashed in- side and out they look quite nice. The floors are of narrow strips of bam- boo interwoven, and make a very nice floor, if one is not too particular a- bout, things sitting straight and level. The roofs are made of palm branches sewn together, they keep out the rain and there is not so much danger of fires as when the long grass is used. The verandah’s extending all the way around the houses protect us from the severe rain storms. A humorous reading was given by Jeffrey Kelly, after which the school paper “Caygeon Campus” was read. _ ila Kimble was then presented with the medal from the Robin Hood Flour Co., for the best loaf of bread The Critic’s report was followed by "ch Save the King. Kandale, Dist. du Kwango Congo Belge, Africa Oct. 9, 1937 Established 1869 Subscription $1.00 There is a worm here that looks very much like the fish worm, but this one is very dangerous. We had been warned of them, so one day last week I was working in the garden and found one, I picked it up on the ‘temo’ and was looking at it when my bOy saw rhe. He shouted ‘Bishila, Mama Belch’ (threw it away) and in an instant had snatched it away from me. The natives say if it stings you, you will lose your hand. that they love the missionaries. The boys who work for us feel responsible for us, andmare very particular about what food We eat, etc. When working in the garden the boys there are al- ways on the lookout for poisonous bugs, snakes etc. We are looking forward to the time when we shall have mastered the language and will be able to do more towards winning them for the Sav- iour. When o_nce they accept Him and turn from their sin and superstitions, their heathenish customs, they cer- tainly prove the truth of the words “what a wonderful change in my life hath been wrought, since Jesus came into my heart.” I want to take this opportunity of extending to one and all a Merry Christmas and a Bright and Happy New Year. I would be pleased to hear from any who care to write. Amateur decorators are prone to build bookcasesat either end of the fireplace, between windows or other usual places. Of course these are the only places that could be used for such purposes in some roams but many rooms would lend thmzselves well to an new arranglm‘mtl If you have an open doable door leading to the dinning room, try book- cases at either side running from floor to ceiling. They add interest to an otherwise negative space, give depth to the doorway, adding the illusion of deep walls.
