country. Some three hours late
er, in three vehicles, we were
on the road, headed •for Angola.
"We travelled through the
remaining hours of darkness,
but by daylight still had many
miles to go. Great was our
surprise then to find the gent
oral populace in a somewhat
nasty mood. At the sound of
our approaching ears, people in
a number of places ran out
and placed legs or branches on
the road in an attempt to stop
us. But in most places (and we
must have paesed through 20 or
more villages that morning),
we ran the gamut of spitting
and cursing, and a barrage of
sticks and stones. All three
cars suffered miner damage, in-
cluding broken or cracked
windshields and windows, but
none of us (and we were eight
adults and four children) suf-
fered physical harm. We
thought perhaps they took us
for Belgians, but we learned
later that missionaries who had
lived and worked in that area,
and were well-known, had re-
ceived the same sort of treat-
ment.

Varna Plans To
Revenge Defeat
At the Varna ball diamond
(which some visitors have rath-
er strongly termed the "goat
pasture") last Thursday night,
the Brucefield men earned a
total of 19 runs, against the
hosts' 5. However, the Varna
team is out for revenge at the
same site Saturday night.
Though Varna led 3-0 at the
end of the second inning, the
Brucefield men got under way
in the third, to bring in six
runs, and in the fifth, another
six, with seven in the last in-
ning to cinch the win.

Brucefield Ladies
Win Two Games
Brucefield Ladies added up
two more wins this past week,
against Staffa and Hensall in
which there was no doubt about
which team was winning.
Brucefield 18 — Staffa 6
At Brucefield last Wednesday
over 40 cars brought spectators
to see the strongly contested
game. Staff a's young team has
good potential, but have not
the knowledge of the game
which would bring them runs.
They will be threats for the
1961 season, however.

First Game
The Clinton ben outhit New
Hamburg by 16 to four in the
first game to go on to a e2-4
victory. Bob Livermore allowed
only four hits and gave up four
walks in the one-sided win,
But the feature of the game
was Livermore's three home
runs and a triple in four times
at bat. John Cooper also hit a
hornee; other big hitters were
Laurie Coiquhoun and Mike
Burns with triples and Philip
White's double.
Second Game
On Saturday it was a reverse
of the first game, with New
Hamburg playing the better ball
behind the pitching of left-hand-
er Giguere. John Cooper pitch-
ed for Clinton.
Third Game
The third and deciding game
was played in Seaforth Tuesday
night with the New Hamburg
boys again walking all over
Clinton. Bob Livermore pitched
this one, allowing 13 hits and
walking seven boys. Livermore
got another home run in this
game. Giguere and Debrody
shared the pitching duties for
New Hamburg, giving up nine
hits and walking six,

spree here Saturday, collecting
17 hits in the seven-inning
game, five of them for extra
bases. Ron Livermore hit two
triples, John Jacob, a triple and
double and Don L,ocithart, a
double. Clinton's big score was
helped. by 12 walks off three

struck out only three batters.
Ron Livermore started for
Clinton and pitched no-hit ball
for three innings, In the fourth
he ran into trouble, giving up
three hits, a walk and an error.
Charles Bartliff came in and
gave up two more hits before
retiring the side. Southampton
had scored seven runs.

finally to reach the border-eon:-
trot point and take our place
in the line of vehicles waiting
to cross into Angola. However,
while we were waiting, a pick-
up arrived bearing six fully-
armed Congolese soldiers. They
were not at all friendly, and
carefully looked us- up and
down, but made no 'attempt to
molest us. We learned later
-from, other refugees that those
same soldiers had badly beaten
up a number of Belgians just
the day before, and had stolen
their money. We were at last
through and over the border.
"It turned out that we were
the last missionaries in a large
area of South West Congo to
leave, and with no many refu-
gees, Belgian, Portuguese, Am-
erican and Canadian ahead of
us, we found the Portuguese
officials in Angola well-prepar-
ed to receive us and expedite
us on our way. It was a long
trip across Angola to the west
coast seaport of Loanda, 700
miles in all, and' took us four
days, over roads of every des-
cription.
"We were put up in a hospi-
tal the first night, and tried
to get a few hours sleep sit-
ting up in our cars the second
night, were taken ewe of at an
American Methodist Mission
the third, and reached Loancla
late in the evening of the-
fourth day. There we caught
up with a large group of Cana-
dian and American missionar-
ies, all of whom were wen-
known to us'. Ohe plane load
had left the previous day, and
another plane was expected in
a day or two to take out the
rest of us.
"At Loanda., the British and
American Consuls checked us
ready .for evaciaation As the
Methodist Mission there was
overflowing with refugees, our
family was billeted in the home
of the US Vice-Consul. Two
days later we were air-lifted
in a US' Airforce 'transport to
Frankfurt, Germany, via Kano,
Nigeria, and Wheelus Airforce
Base at Tripoli. In Frankfurt
we endeavoured to persuade
the Airforce to complete the
job and fly us all the way to
the States, and for two days
cables went back and forth be-
tween Frankfurt and Washing-
ton. But the State' Department
turned thumbs down on that
idea, and we were left on Our
own.
"The logical solution would
be a chartered plane, but at
the height of the tourist sea-
son where could' such a plane
be found? However Jari6 Wed.

When Prentice' Ltitintinba ..ef

Chambers went to Ottawa to
seek an._ interview, primarily to
know' know'if there would be any
difficulty in returning to the
triissionk
Premier tallettethe gave
a document authorizing mis-
sionaries to return at any time.
This week the Rev. Gordon
Chambers is attending a con-
ference of the Baptist Mission-
ary Board in Toronto to de-
cide where the missionaries will
be placed in the meantime.
Three missionaries and seven
children were on furlough when
the revolution came.
The Rev. and Mrs. Gordon
Chambers. were supported in
the missionary field in the for-
mer Belgian Congo be the Wo-
men's Missionary Society of the
Regular Baptist Church.
Mr. Chambers (formerly of
Stratford) went to this pioneer
field in 1932.
He married Miss Helen
Merle, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. B. Marie, Stratford,
in 1941. She joined' her hus-
band in evangelistic work,
taught school for awhile and
worked with girls.
They were stationed at Sha-
kenge where there was a dis-
pensary, small hospital and
school. This and Tono serve a
sparsely populated district, ap-
proximately 150 by 100 miles
in which dwell five tribes, each
with a different dialect.
The Chambers have four
children, -all born in the Congo.
They are Gordon and Nancy,
aged 16, Bryan, 9 and Norene,
4.
Since they were married
they've had two furloughs. The
last time they were home for
two years to allow the two old-
er children to complete the
high school teem. They had
only been back 11 months.
They travelled by cargo ship
from New York, touching Hali-
fax and Trinidad before arriv-
ing at Matadi. The ocean voy-
age took three weeks. They
motored 700 Miles- to their sta-
tion at Shakenge where they
were assigned church and vil-
lage work,
It is a plains country with
large tracts of grass. Farther
south, near the Angola border
where the two older childeeh
attended school, are lions and
buffalo.
Mrs. Climbers taught Bryan
at home but was on the point
of sewing naive tapes on his
clothing to start him, to school
with his brother and sister in
August, when they were ad-
vised to go to TOM for secur-
ity, She just enucle't believe
that they were in danger end
didn't want Ito go.
Since they left for Tone, -dur-,
ing the night, they do not know
hate their people felt, Mr,
Chambere called his native pas-
itr and explained that they
were going to TOIntr.
The trip out was a horrible
nightniaret they learned from
the US Vice-tiongul at Laanda
that one Baptist tniesionary
had been ettite seriously injttr-
ed, They did not travel on the
main road When leaving,
Asked about the Belgian
rule, Mr. Chambers replied:
"The Belgians did a erieethi-
ficent job of edminiettration.
Their weakness was that they
didn't train the natives for aele,
geVeenineatt. This was perhaps
due to the feet that they did
not think they would over de-
mand it-, shied they'd raised
their -standard of living, pro-
vkled excellent rnedieal care,
end good pay.
