By Belen Sherman STATUS of the native in the Belgian Congo has gone up considerably in the past twenty-five years according to three missionaries who will leave Eugene this month to return to Africa. Christian Church missionaries, Mr. and Mrs. David Byerlee and Miss Hattie Mitchell, first went to Belgian Congo in the early twen ties. Even then, many of the natives were paid a few spoonfuls of salt and some brass rods for a month's work. Today, some natives re receiving larger salaries than single mis sionaries. The natives are well-trained, well-educated, and assuming responsible government positions. The Eugene missionaries said that in the fifty years that there have been Christian Church workers in Coqullhatville province of Belgian Congo 80,000 natives have become members of their church. The province is smaller than the area of the State of Oregon but there are more members of this denomination there, than in the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Utah combined. ; - - : - m J "Friends say I'm growing younger instead of older" HELPS SIO SPUING PlOWflt BEAUTY TO PADtNO SKIM If you're a younger woman, you want to protect the loveliness of your face and throat skin that wins you so many compliments.

They may sail to Belgium and then fly to the Congo, or sail from the West Coast. Although they have claimed Eugene as their home since their return last September, they have spoken at eighteen out-of-town conventions during this period. They will be living in Coqull hatville, Belgian Congo, which is the capital of the province of the same name. It is situated on the equator, where it crosses the Congo River, one thousand miles from the West Coast. The Byerlees revealed such climatological information as the fact that it is warmer, both north and south of the equator than it is on the globe-dividing line proper. Also, that the hot test period there is from Christ mastime to April. Mr. and Mrs. Byerlee Were married in Salem in 1918. At the time, he was attending the Eu gene Bible University, now Northwest Christian College. His wife taught voice at NCC from 1917 to 1920, when he was grad uated from the college. Mrs. Byerlee had studied voice at a private school in Calgary, Al berta, Canada. The school was under the auspices of the Royal Academy .of Music in London. During the 1918-19 school year Mr. Byerlee was a me chanical foreman of the Eugene Guard, later consolidated with the Eugene Register. The Byer lees' son, Allen, a sophomore at both NCC and the University of Oregon, has been employed as a part-time worker at the Eu gene Register-Guard since last September. Mrs. C. A. Read, their daugh ter, was graduated in June from NCC and now is a senior at the university. The children spent most of their lives in Africa, as the Byerlees have been there from 1920-23; 1924-29; 1930-35; 1936-41; and 1944-48.

Miss Mitchell Sees War Years Abroad Miss Mitchell is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Mitchell of Springfield. She was graduated from the Eugene Bible School, now the Northwest Christian College, in 1919 and attended the Christian College of Missions in Indianapolis, Ind., from 1920 to 1922. Miss Mitchell received her bachelor's degree from the Uni versity of Oregon in 1932 while on a furlough from her mission work. Her first assignment in the Belgian Congo was from 1922 to 1925. In 1926, she studied French in Belgium, then re turned to Africa the following year. Returning to the States in 1931, she came by way of East Africa and Japan. From there she sailed on a Japanese freight er to San Francisco. She was back in Africa from 1933 to 1938, and again in the war years from 1939 to 1943. The 1943 return trip was a memorable one. Miss Mitchell said. Her ship was at sea for 60 days from the time it left Dur ban, South Africa, until they docked at San Pedro, Calif. ' There was more submarine dodging than the passengers knew, according to Miss Mitch ell. At one time, they were twenty miles from a spot off the South American coast where an American destroyer had just sunk a German blockade runner. She was back in Africa from 1945 to 1948. Miss Mitchell will now go to Mondonby in the Coquilhatville province where she is to be supervisor of the school. Mon donby is situated 500 miles southeast of the Byerlees post at the Coquilhatville province capi tal. Boys and girls attend her school at different times of the day, Miss Mitchell said. The na tives are in school for three or four hours a day. The rest of the time they work to earn their livelihood. Their jobs vary from agricultural work and nursing in the post hospital to apprentice ships in masonry and the car penter shop. She said that the Belgian gov ernment relies on the Protestant and Catholic missions for all school work except professional training. Miss Mitchells picture ap pears in the book, "Fifty Years In Congo" by Herbert Smith which was published this year. The book lists some of her duties s keeping books as station trea surer, visiting out stations, bap tizing converts, performing mar riages, advising mothers, and demonstrating gardening.
