"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.

Lorne Brown Motors Bantams Put Out By New Hamburg How a kids ball team could play such near-perfect baseball here last Thursday evening, beating New Hamburg 22-2 in the first of a best two out of three series, then lose the next 14-7 and 2 two gemes 040 to th is e hard to ame team be, ,- lieve, But Jack and Ron Car- ter's Bantams did just that. 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, ( Southampton 21-8 in a hard- hitting game, after losing the first gain in Southampton qn Thursday 11 to 7.

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 Southampton pitchers who struck out only three batters.

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?

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.
