The Clinton congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses begin this week a door-to-door campaign to make the public aware of shocking atrocities being cone, mitted against members by sad. istic mobs in Malawi, Central Africa. Calling the acts a shame on Africa, Hari McNally, presiding minister for the Clinton con. gregation of Jehovah's Witness. es, said eyewitness reports showed many have been beaten, robbed, some killed and their homes burned. More than a thousand women Witnesses have been raped, often before their own husbands and children who were forced to watch. In, the Mianje area of the country 40 women who were thus abused were pregnant. Mr. Greene added: "To im- plement new measures of in. come distribution before the nation has earned those nene. fits through its collective pro. ductivity is a cynical political hem, For we are not then pas. sing on social benefits, a bet. ter way 'of life, a more equal justice and opportunity.

"The atrocities have been committed by persons inflamed by the spirit of nationaliSm," Mr, McNally explained, "most. ly by mobs made up of mem- bers of President H. Kamuzu Banda's Malawi Congress Party." He claimed the Youth League resembles China's Red Guards who have terrorized so many there, "The only 'crime' of Jehovah's Witnesses in Malawi has been their refusal to join Banda's political party, buy a membership card and wear Banda's picture on a badge," he said. The Malawi News of Nov- ember 24, 1967, quoted Presi. dent Banda as saying: "If any one of these people are in trouble they should not go to the police but should go to church and pray," Hence, there has been little or no action on the part of the police to stem the tide of vicious persecution, McNally added. "It is hoped that people who love justice and freedom will Write to the government of Malawi to protest this cruel treatment of harmless Chris. tians " Town council handed a verbal spanking Monday to a group of Clinton children who persis. tently flout traffic laws and endanger lives.

And if they knew,' did they care? "Do we have delinquent child. ren or delinquent parents?" Mr. Proctor asked. "These children should be reported to police.
