McKenzie gave the topic which dealt with the work of the Presbyterian Church in Nigeria. In Nigeria there are over 45, 000, 000 people who speak 250 different languages. However, English is taught to every school child. We will not think of Nigeria as being remote, when we realize that it is only 18 jet hours from us. It became an independent.na- tion in 1960 but is still a part of the British Commonwealth. The first Presbyterian mis- sionaries went to Nigeria from Scotland in 1846. In 1952 the W.M.S. of Canada was asked to share in this work. This was done on a five year trial period. Miss Agnes Gollan and another missionary were sent to Cala- bar to work. Their work was to centre mostly on youth. Other missionaries were Rev. and Mrs. E. Roberts and Miss Bul- mer. In 1959 Canada House was built and Miss Gollan and Miss Bulmer moved in to carry on their youth work. Miss Elsie Taylor and Miss Ann Howson went to Nigeria in 1962. The missionaries stress edu- cation, medical instruction and evangelism. Women have play- ed a very important part in mis- sionary work in Nigeria - both from the standpoint of white missionaries and natives. In- teresting letters from active missionaries in Nigeria were read. A hymn was sung and Miss A. Mitchell closed with prayer. Japanese Pamper Steers Destined For Steak Plate One of Toronto's big depart- ment stores recently advertised the opening of a Far East show featuring products and foods from the Oriental lands. One of the specials offered was a selection of beef steak, the prices of which made some of the local agriculturalists take a second look. Frank Thompson brought a copy of the advertise- ment to us and here is the price list: Porterhouse, $6.25 lb.; T- bone, $5.85; wing, $5,50; sir- loin, $5.50; top round, $5.25; chuck, $2.75; rump roast,$3.75; prime rib, $4.95; cubed, $3.95; minced, $3.25. These prices, to say the least, are rather exotic, but so is the life of the prime steer which has been selected to pro- vide these "Kobe" steaks and roasts. It seems that from the herds of Tajima-Gyu cattle in central Japan, the choicest of animals are picked out and then kept under blankets for the remaining 11 or 12 months of their career. Not only are they kept warm and comfortable, but they are massaged for 10 to 12 hours each day. (The ad doesn't say whether the rub -downs are giv- en by herdsmen or Geisha girls). During the entire fattening per- iod their sole beverage is cop- ious draughts of rice beer and their diet consists of barley, fine wheat bran and rice bran, with soya beans for dessert. Though the steers' life may be a short one, there is no de- nying it is very sweet while it lasts.
