Strangway, a missionary from Angola, Africa, with nearly $700 Sunday in a ceremony which climaxed a unique missionary project. The campaign, called Opera­ tion Brown Cow,” was con­ ducted to raise funds to help the Canadian doctor establish a dairy herd at his mission. Over $500 of the total was raised by classes' in the Sunday School, each of which staged a special money-raising project.

In return for the gift. Dr. Strangway presented a leopard skin to the Sunday School. During his visit with the child­ ren he showed them a lion’s fang and a cane made of rhino- cerous hide. Master Surgeon Dr. Strangway, a master sur­ geon who performs many oper­ ations in his Angola mission, spoke at both morning and even­ ing services in the church as well as the Sunday School. He described conditions which exist in Africa today. Dispelling a popular belief, he said Africans are not a back­ ward race but they have been limited in their development be­ cause of a lack of opportunity in education. Although Africa was discover­ ed by European explorers 100 years before North America, they were afraid io develop the country because of its prevalent disease. “The riches of Africa lie not in gold, or diamonds, or ivory for which many westerners have gone in search, but in the native tribesmen.” he told large congregations which heard him Sunday'.;........ " — " Mud and Grass Building Twenty-nine years ago, Dr. Strangway and his wife sailed to Angola to take charge of a small hospital built of mud and roofed with grass. The lighting was so poor that he performed his first operation in his own .dining room where there was more light. . A larger hospital was com­ pleted in 1932, Dr. Strangway said Africans greatly appreciate what assist­ ance they receive from the western world. As he was leav­ ing for furlough in Canada, 5,000 natiyes gathered on the campus of the mission school asking him to express their ap­ preciation for the contributions Canadians had made to them. At the evening service, the doctor showed slides illustrating his work on the Chissamba mission field. At the close of the meeting, D. H. H. Cowen, on behalf of the Sunday School, the A.O.T.S. and the congregation, presented him with a cheque for $686.58.
