Salem Missionary Families

mer, according to Mrs. Mary Cammack, their mother and grand

Mine in Korea
WITH THE 40TH INFANTRY
DIV. IN KOREA Cpl. John Cox
of Dallas, Ore., felt that while the
defenses of Company B, 160th In
fantry Regiment were adequate,
they lacked the artistic touch.
So he placed a quarter-pound
charge of TNT in the bottom of an
empty grapefruit can and filled it
with napalm.
Placing it in a strategic location,
he wired it so he could detonate
it from a concealed position.
"All I have to do is wait for the
Reds to come," said Cox, "and then
give them the juice."

in the States in late August
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Cammack
(Phyllis Macy) are to fly in Au
gust from La Paz, Bolivia, after
4J2 years' work.
Mrs. Trachsel and Cammack are
daughter and son of Mrs. Mary
Cammack, Salem, Route 9, Box
446, in the Rosedale district. She
said it is doubtful if the Trach
sels will get to visit Salem on this
furlough, since they are to do
deputation work for missions in
the Eastern U. S. and will reside
in that area in order to place their
three girls in school. This may be
at Anderson, Ind., headquarters
of the National Holiness Mission
arv Society which they represent.
The Paul Cammacks, however,
expect to be in the Willamette
Valley during the year, with their
four children Since 1948 he has
been manager of a 3,000-acre mis
sion farm near Lake Titicaca in
the Bolivian uplands, and both
have taught in the Bible school for
Indians since going to Bolivia in
1947.
Willamette Graduates
All four of the adults are Wil
lamette University graduates.
The Trachsels began mission
work in the early 1930s, when he
went to China. She followed two
years later. She and the oldest
daughter came home in 1941, but
World War II brought internment
in China for Trachsel until 1943,
when he was returned here, where
his wife was serving as pastor of
South Salem Friends Church.
After the war, Trachsel went
back to China in 1946, and she in
1947, but the spread of Commun
ist control sent them in 1949 to
South India. There he has been
superintendent of the Kolar mis
sion. Visit to Africa
The furlough journey home In
cludes passing through Africa to
visit the society's various mission
fields and do preaching. This is
only the third of the six long
trips out and back that the couple
has had together, according to re
cent letters from Mrs. Trachsel
to her mother. The letters also
note the following incidents from
the travels:
At Mom'jasa, Kenya, they saw
the colonial governor review
troops. "The African troops look
ed very gay in their red fez caps
and wide red belts; a band play
ed, and the troops and some sail
ors went through maneuvers."
In Tsavo National Park, a game
preserve, they saw gazelles, hippo
potamuses and even a rhinoceros
next to the road "The problem
was how to get by him his old
horn in his snout sulely looked
wicked and he did too. He sud
denly squared off and looked
like he was going to charge." But
the car sped by and the rhino
missed. They had a similar ex
perience with some elephants, but
didn't get 1o see any lions.
The missionaries spent a short
time in Nairobi, Kenya, where
Queen Elizabeth of Britain (then
princess) was when her father
died.
Mrs. Trachsel said they were
disturbed by Africa's segregation
between Europeans and non-Europeans
after working in the
"free countries" of China and
India.
Fertile Farms
In this area of Kenya, she wrote,
the farms all have 1,000 acres or
more, are quite fertile and rain is
heavy somewhat like the Wil
lamette Valley. Nearly all farmers
have trucks and tractors.
At Cheptenye, where Trachsel
was doing some preaching "Our
usual routine is to start out in
the car about 10 a.m., with baby
buggy, lunch, public address and
folding chairs. After we arrive at
the mud and thatch school house
where the meeting is to be held,
the head preacher does some
preaching and announcing" over
the P.A., so that the people will
hear all over the valley. By 11:30
enough people have come so that
we can start meeting." After sing
ing and preaching the head
preacher gives the altar call. A
second meeting starts about 2 p.m.,
but there is none at night because
of the wild animals.
"The thing we notice most are
the women that come dressed in
their hides and skins with big
stretched ears and beaded work
hanging from the lobes and big
rigs of beads around the necX
and metal things on their arms
weighting them down. All heads
are close-cropped. The women do
all the work in the fields and all
go barefooted."
Mill Operators,
Loggers Urged
Fire Control
Loggers and mill operators are
being sent a special appeal by
Keep Oregon Green Association
to make every effort possible to
prevent fires in the forested
areas.
Operators were advised that
fire conditions are becoming more
hazardous. Records indicate fires
have been caused this season by
the following defects in operating
equipment:
1. Faulty spark arrestors on ex
hausts. 2. Smoking while working on
the job.
4. Refueling power chain saws
in dangerous locations.
4. Dynamiting tops out of spar
trees during closed season.

Did you know that the Pacific Coast states Washington, Oregon
and California produce only 40To of the nation's lumber? And that
41 comes from the southern states? There art more than 53,000
tawmills in America, plus many thousands of producers of building
materials that can be substituted for lumber. This is what makes
the building supplies industry such a higliJy competitive one.
Some 6,000 lumber wholesalers and 26,000 retail lumber dealers
seek lumber supplies for their customers at the lowest possible prices.
It is this competitive buying based on supply and demand that
determines lumber prices. The market is so widespread and the
distribution system so complex, that no single producer or group of
producers can control prices. It is up To the Weyerhaeuser Timber
Company, producing only 2.6 of the nation's lumber, to win
customers by manufacturing needed quality products at competitive
prices and by giving good service, so that w can keep our mills
operating continuously.
