But .amid the noise of exploding bombs and 'the shrieks of tor- tured people, the ministry of reconciliation throtigh the dis- tribution of the Scripture still goes on. The work began many years ago by F. S. Arnott 'of the Brethren Mission, who pene- trated' into Congo from Angola and established a mission sta- tion at .Bunkeya., is still. strong. The mission at Luonza, estab- lished by Dan Crawford, who translated the Bible into Luba Sang% and the mission of Alex- ander Clark, the translator of the Luba Katanga Bible, still witnesses to the love of God. For more than 20 years the Methodist Mission and the Garenganze Evangelical Mis- sion was the only Protestant witness in Katanga. Through these and other missions such as the Seventh Adventist Mission in Elizabeth- vile, recently bombarded, and the Baptist Mission, tens of thousands of Katanganese people have heard the Gospel. There are now complete Bibles, in seven or eight Congo- lese languages and complete New Testaments in several others such as Kiluba, Tshilu- ba, Lunda of Kalunda, Lunde Kambone, and others, Suggested Bible readings: Sunday • Luke 9: 10-17 Monday 'Luke 9: 18-27 Tuesday Luke 9: 46-62 Wednesday Luke 10: 5-37 Thursday Luke 11: 1-13 Friday Luke 12: 4 -7 Saturday Luke 12: 22-34 sew. Population of the city is ab- out a million. They live in a lovely part. Margaret was out to two different mornings of coffee parties, in homes which she said were beautiful, Eng- lish speaking people . . There is no TV and the radio pro- grams' are principally music, and news in English which don't interest the boys. They are working on TV all the time and they expect to have good reception soon." The Baker's boys are Doug- las 15, Ken 11 and Glen eight years of age. Mrs. Baker is well known here. As a child in 1927, with her small 'brother and parents, she visited bath grandmothers, Mrs. John Reid, James, Misses Mary and Ida Reid, and Mrs. W. J. Stinson and H. A, Stin- son. As a bride she came to visit Mrs. Stinson .and relatives in Brueefield while her husband was on course at the RCAF Station Clinton.

Peter, a subscrib- er of the News-Record who liv- es 'at 20 Earl Street, Stratford, sends the following clipping from the December issue of Motor Boating: "An old lady of the lake (Huron) gets a lift from the Detroit River Sea Scouts. "The last commercial sailing vessel built on the Great Lakes has shipped a cargo of new life. Helen MacLeod II, built at Bayfield, Ontario, in 1925 by Louis H. MacLeod, is a 36 foot Mackinaw-type schooner, No. 1, Leonie Hill Flats, Singapore 9, Nov. 10, 1961. Dear Aunt Ida: I don't know if mother has Witten to you to tell you we are in Singapore. We left Re- gina August 23; spent two days at a conference at McDonald College in Montreal; one and a half days in London (England) and arrived here August 30. I was sick most of the way on the plane and we were tired out but the boys lobed it. I expect we will go home by the Pacific as it' is closer and may- be arrange to have more stop- overs. Jim is teaching science in the Teachers' College here for a year, under the Colombo Plan. The Canadian govern- ment gives us a salary and pays our transportation and the Singapore government gives us a cost of living allowance and living accommodation. We have a 'large, comfortable, furnished flat, and 'two Chinese amahs to do the cooking and' washing so I'm having a real rest. It will be quite as shock when I get home again. You really can't do much work 'here. The weather is very warm all year round and you are 'tired all the time. We have had more rain the last two weeks and it cools it off a little. The boys go to 'the British Army •school from 8.30 to 12.30, six days .a week and are enjoy- ing it. They are having to' earn English money and are having a struggle with it. There are a lot of English people here in the army and, air force. Two other families came with us, one from North Bay and the other from Vancouver, so it has been nice to have company. originally used for hauling fish from Lake Huron. "Today the schooner hauls dozen Sea Scouts' out of Tren- ton, Mich, on the Detroit Riy- er near Lake Erie. More active than many boats her age, the MacLeod's rigging has been re- newed, a rebuilt auxiliary in- stalled, and 'the fish odors have been scrubbed out of her hold by the industrious scouts. One of the boys, George Voulemen- ous, 16, has designed replace- ments for missing topmasts and topsails. Two of us live in the same building and the other close by. Singapore is a very modern city and we have two modern supermarkets close by. All food is imported and it is more ex- pensive but we can buy every- thing. The bread is not very good' and fresh milk comes from Australia so it is expen- sive, Bananas and pineapple are, cheap so we are enjoying them. Last week we bought a sec- ond-hand car so we hope to see some of the city now. Up until now we 'have been walking or using taxis. The traffic is heavy and on the left hand side of the road so it takes awhile to 'get used to driving. • We joined a swimming club so we can take the 'boys to swim now that we have 'the car. We don't like them on the street 'alone so ;there isn't much for them to do. Doug has gone to a few movies. It is dark about 6.30 so the evenings' are long and we go to bed early. We miss the TV. The principal of the Teach- ers' College in Regina retired this year and is coming to spend nine days, with us at Christmas time, We are look- ing forward to having him. Hope you are feeling well and have a nice Christmas. Best regards to all the Elliotts. Wish we could have stopped` to see you when we went flying over Ontario. Lave, Margaret, Jim and boys. * * The writer of the above in- teresting letter is Mrs. J. Bak- er, a niece of Mrs. Bruce Men- erey and Harold A. Stinson. From a letter to Mrs. Menerey written by Mrs. Baker's moth- er, Mrs. George Reid, Flax- conibe, Sask., the following ex- cerpts give an added' descrip- tion: "Jim 'has a year's leave of absence from Regina College. His studies are Chinese and Hindus. The' Hindus have beards, long hair and wear ,tur- bans all the time, all English speaking . . . from London England, an 8,000 mile flight of 19 hours' they just touched down at Baghdad, Beirut and Karachi. They are in an apart- ment building, five storeys high with three 'bedroom suites on one side, 'two on ,the other. The amahs in the centre . . . They have met quite a few Cana- dians. Ford's have a motor plant with Canadians there ... The kids get quite a kick out of pet monkeys; one is chained outside their window; cocoa nuts ready to eat from trees around the apartments. Every room has a fan . . . Their near- est church is Presbyterian, The men go in shirt sleeves, ladies in briefest cotton dresses, no hats or gloves. When Jim got there, 'hey had to have a two-pant suit of cot- ton and dacron made. As soon as he is out of class he is! into shorts which everyone wears. Boys uniform for school is white shirts 'or T shirts and khaki shorts. The amah wash- es every day. Some of Marg's dresses had a bit of nylon in them and she had to get straight cotton as nylon just sticks . . . Lots of seamstresses and tailors to "The cabin 'is split by art en- ormous centerboard trunk, but the boat's 31/2 foot draft lets 'the Scouts explore the many is- lands in the Detroit River. "Says the ship's captain, Scoutmaster Ed Zemke: 'The boys are helping preserve an historic old vessel. But more important, the boat is helping bring together boys who like sailing and the sea. She's the best training ground they could have.' —Jack Grenard" row Bulbs For ndoor Blooms efore Springtime Why wait for Mother Nature to produce flowers next spring? With a little work now, you can have a pot of narcissi or hyacinths in your living room while the snow is still on the ground, Here are some hints from horticulturalists, with Ontario Department of Agriculture on how to go about it. To start with, only buy high grade healthy bulbs as these will give best results. Partially fill a pot with good loam soil to which• some coarse sand' and peat have been added. Firm the soil, but avoid pack- ing it or the roots will suffer. Plant the bulbs with the top third exposed. Leave enough room at the top of the •pot for watering. With hyacinths, place a little sand right under the bulb. This will help to pre- vent rotting. After planting and watering, set the bulbs in a cool dark place to develop roots before they start top growth. The best temperature is 35 to 40 degrees F. ,for hyacinths. Pot- ted bulbs make a nice meal for mice, so watch out for any signs of their activities. When the pots are filled with roots and the top growth is about 2 inches high, bring them into subdued light at 50 degrees F. for two or three weeks. This helps the plants to continue 'top growth and lets them become accustomed to light. Then move the plants into full light, at a temperature of 60 degrees F. to flower. Too much heat or too early forcing will ruin flower buds. Keep the soil moist at all times, and protect the flowers from strong sunlight •and from excessive bottom heat as when situated on top of a radiator. To have a continuous supply of 'bloom, bring the plants out of cool storage in succession. This works 'better than plant- ing at different times. 0 How To Water House Plants For Best Results Watering your house plants may seem a simple thing and so it is if you keep a few simple rules in mind. Many people do not realize that they can kill a plant 'by giving it too much water—just as easily as watering too little. The roots of a plant need to "breathe". If you add too much water, you are robbing the plant of the valuable air that it gets from the soil. A water- logged soil is poorly aerated and plants 'growing under these conditions will have trouble from root rot and the leaves will fade and wilt, To overcome this, horticul- turalists with the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture sug- gest that you water less fre- quently and check to see whether the pot is allowing proper drainage. Pots should always have some gravel or broken pot pieces hi the bot- tom to ensure good drainage. There is no rule of thumb as to how often to water your plants'; too much depends on their location. If they are growing well in a bright, sun- ny location, 'they may need it once a day. However if they are in a cool, darker spot, once a week my be sufficient. One way to check is by tap- ping the pot. When the pot is dry, it will give a clear, ring- ing sound, while a wet pot giv- es a dull note. If your tap water has been treated with sodium softeners, don't use it. The sodium may prove toxic. Use rain water or melted snow. Take the chill off the water before using it. Cold water can be harmful to many plants. When watering, soak the soil to make sure that it is wet to the bottom of the pot. This can easily 'be done by watering from the bottom. If you do this, water from above occas- ionally 'to prevent harmful crystal deposits on the soil sur- face, LET'S BE FRANK YOURS TRULY FOR NE WANTED TOP SERVICE AND FAIR DEALINGS AT A MODERATE Pf•CE.
