African Princess to Speak
Friday at Sandy SDA Church
Princess Alice from Malawi
will speak at the Sandy Seventh -
day Adventist churchon Friday,
Jan. 14 at 7:45 p.m.
This modern "Alice in Won
derland" was brought from
Malawi, a country of hills and
tropical growth in east central
Africa on a 9,000 mile plane
ride through 9 "time" zones to
Hollywood, where she was un
expectedly confronted with an
appearance on the Ralph Ed-
A little sheep bell given to a
five year old girl in Antelope,
Ore., 68 years ago, started a
local lady on her way to a size
able and rather unique collec
tion of bells.
Upon entering the patio of the
comfortable trailer home of
Mr a. Beryl Axe of Rt. 2, Box
537, Sandy, one is greeted by
a tinkle, tinkle of sweet music.
Responsible for this pleasant
sound one notes five small bells
with heart - shaped clappers
hanging from the roof and mak
ing melody as they are caught
by the frolicking wind.
A Basque sheep bell with the
letters SAIN El. EGIER -CHIAN -
TEL Inscribed on it, has puz
zled its owner since she re
ceived It many years ago. She
has never run across anyone
who could translate its wording
for her.
A set of teamsters bells holds
many fond childhood memories
for Mrs. Axe. She remtnisclng-
ly stated, "When we heard these
bells, we knew wagons filled
with wool were going through
town. The little town of Shani
ko in Eastern Oregon shipped
more wool than any other town
In the world in those days. It
was written right in the back
of our geography book -- and
myt were we proud."
Many countries, as well as
events and places of historical
Interest, are represented I f
this fine collection of bells.
There’s a garlic crusher bell
from Russia which was also
used to summon the maid, and
one made from black lava in,
shape of a little hoop-skirted
lady from Mexico.
"This beautiful shining bell
Is from Germany," Mrs. Axe
mentioned. "Being a very ar
tistic people, the one from there
is bound to be pretty."
Then there’s the bell-hop bell
from Canada, a lovely pottery
bell from Holland with a hand-
painted windmill,
Christmas
bells from Sweden, and various
ones from places such as Eng- ।
land, Morroco, France, Belgl- |
um, India, Persia and Switzer
land.
A pronged elephant bell from J
Sia m Is rather unique. These 1
bells are fastened to the edges I
of
from places like Capistrano,
The Rushmore Monument, The
World's
Fairs,
Timberline
Lodge, Boston's Minute - Man,
and one with a picture of the
Old Man of the Mountain in
New Hampshire.
Mrs. Axe pointed out that,
"Every nation has a different
bell - metal, and no two bells
ring alike. Also, the bells dif
ferent countries manufacture
for export are a cheaper grade
than those they make for their
own use."
Of the many bells in this de
lightful lady’s collection, she
has bought only three herself.
All of the others have been
given or sent to her by friends.
Some have been received from
perfect strangers who heard
