Missionory'from Zambia tells
Blu~vale 'WI of life in, Africa
Corresnondent
Mrs.' Joe Walker
357-3558
The weather's co-operation,
the stimulatiokand excitement of
Spring's return, and the excellent
reputation of the guest speaker-
exerted a prompting force on the
many who attended the Thank-
offering meeting of the W. M.S. in
Bluevale Presbyterian Church.
The president, Mrs. Glenn
Colley,, used as her call to worship
aprose selection entitled, The
Festival of Joy, which emphasiz-
ed the resurrection story.
Devotions by Mrs. William
Elston gave prominence to the
resurrection of the "soul, using
Scripture verses from Mark 16:
1-8. She simplified the under-
standing of this tremundous
miracle by comparing bodies with
a watch. It ticks. Remove the
case. It still ticks. Our body is a
case and the soul inside lives on
even though its case, the body,
dies, she said. She said it requires
deep faith to believe in the
resurrection.
Mrs. Grace Richardson, was
introduced as a former teacher
and farmer's wife near White-
church, and now missionary
teacher at Sakeji School in the
north-west corner of Zambia. Her
excellent slides clearly depicted
this part of Africa as a great land
of beauty, colour, and luxuriant
growth with grass 15 feet tall and
readily susceptible to fire.
Leaves on the trees are colour-
ed in the spring and turn green as
4,; the seasons advance. The are ants
of all kinds with homes of. unique
structure, and these creatures are
a great source of protein food.
Various sorts of snakes abound
but children at the school are
more interested in seeing the hen
one may have swallowed than the
snake itself. Gasoline is $2.25 a
gallon, so many bicycles are in
use.
A main food is manior mush
which is not so bad if eaten with
lots of relish. Mushrooms and fish
are plentiful. It is considered
impolite to watch your guest eat,
so as a guest in a native home,
one is left alone to consume
refreshments. To refuse what one
is served is also in poor taste.
Mrs. Richardson asked, "What
would you do about caterpillars?"
Twins
In the past twins were belileved
to be possessed with ev it spirits
' and were thrown away, but not so
now. Hairdressing is an intricate
procedure as multiples of tightly
braided corkscrews are twined
into high coils on top of the head,
but one styling lasts for three
weeks.
Mrs'. Richardson agrees her
task as a missionary-teacher is
quite a pleasant one. Sakyi is a
boarding school begun by Dr. and
Mrs. Walter Fisher in 1925.
Most of the students are
children of staff missionaries
from various countries, with
Agricans kept down to about 10%
and these are the off-spring of the
well-to-do or official African.
Besides the usual studies
required they are taught sewing,
knitting and various crafts.
An Olympic-sized swimming
pool provides for regular lessons
in that sport. Music lessons on
piano and guitar is a part of each
day's program. They have
gardens Where vegetables and
fruit are grown with pineapples
being a specialty. Every Tuesday
is market day when they sell their
extra produce. Dental care is
provided
Special days include programs,
birthday parties, fireworks, tree-
climbing, rowing dut-out canoes
in the river. A common form of
punishment for misconduct is
marching around the playground.
The speaker was thanked by
Mrs. Wrn. Mundell. A measure of
