An interesting touring -
photography exhibition will be on
display at the Brussels Library
from Tuesday, April • 20 • until
Tuesday, May 4.
The showing has been

Gallery Extension Service. The
photographs will be the *work of
both professional and amateur
photographers. Entry was open to

professional photographers.
Mr. and. Mrs. flank ten Pas of
Brussels and Mr, and Mrs. Pete
van Veen of R.R.#4 Brussels, who
recently spent three weeks at the
Wycliffe College Bible
Translators missionary group
base in Cuiaba, Brazil, returned
home with memories of a
friendly, kind, people; terrific hot
climate;and a relaxed life style
that contrasts sharply with the
hectic pace of .North Americans.
What is not done to-day can wait
for another day.
They saw little 'of the rest of
Brazil for most of their tithe was
taken up lat,the base where they
were stationed. They were taken
on a 11/4 hour flight to visit the
Parucis ,tribe, who depend on
hunting for their survial. „The
natives were friendly and
inquisitive, following them
around. While the language
barrier 'made vocal
communication impossible, they
expressed their friendly attitude
by touch. The translators have
worked threr for 15 years but the
English language is very difficult
for the people. They have,
however, reached the point where
they are clothed.
The ladies did their share of
work at the base preparing food
and helping with meals;trying to
bring order out of chaos at two
libraries and Mrs. van Veen
painted a school. This was only
the second work group to arrive
there and there was little in the
way of a work schedule prepared
for them. The main food was rice
and beans. Unlike the bananas we
get herethere were two kinds,
cooking and eating and they were
very different.
The Men were kept busy at
carpentry, finishing the interior of
houses on the mission base. The
excessive heat forces a two hour
break every day when even the
stores close. It was dark at 6:00
p.m. The base is situated in a
works was given 1st and 2nd
readings. •
Road accounts of $9,245.44 and
very poor area of Brazil. There
were no gardens. Few things can
grow on the barren soil.
Sewage is a problem rn'oSt
everywhere, but of a different
kind in Cuiaba. They have open
street sewage. Store fronts are
open during the day and closed at
night with what might • be
described as a type of garage
doors.
One appreciated experience
was attendance at a small Baptist
Church where they were invited
to sing. While they could not
understand the language they
still thoroughly enjoyed the
unique service.
Their flight both to and from
Brazil was delightful. The ten Pas
and van Veetis brought home
many souvenirs to remind them of
their stay in Brazil as well as a
number of slides.
Wycliffe Bible Translators is a
faith mission that trains and
sends young people to a tribe to
learn the languai:ge and culture
and prepare an alphabet,
grammar and primer, then teach
people to read and write their own
language. Wycliffe missionaries
translate the Holy Scripture into
the native tongue of the. people,
The tribal people they serve are
isolated from the rest of the world
by language barriers. Most of
these 160,000,000 people live out
their short lives in superstition
and fear.
The truth of God's Word
presented in their own language
is the key that sets them free, the
Wycliffe group feels.
General Accounts of $4,319.81r as
presented were passed and paid.
Next meeting will be May 4th.
