Landscape work, shrubbery planting, and care of lawn and flower bods contributed to the award. The home is located near Pioneer Memorial hospital. Unfortunately there were no "before" photos available for comparison on the amount of improvement, Touring Mayor Sees Monkeys and Hippos A second letter to friends in Morrow county via the Gazette Times comes from Al Lamb, who is in Central Africa with the U. S. Department of Commerce Trade Mission there. Writing under date of May 11, ho states: "I am having a wonderful time so far and I find the people here, both European and native Afri can, very friendly. We went for a 20 mile boat ride up to Lake Chad yesterday and saw several hippos, monkeys and so on. Vis ited a native village but couldn't talk much to them as they were Camoroons and neither talked French or Chadean. The huls are made of mud but usually are very clean inside. The men are fishermen who make large catches of fish witli nets, then clean and dry them on racks. They sell the fish to a coopera tive whose boat comes along sev eral times a week. The fish are all .sold by the chief of the tribe who then distributes the selling price to each man. Their average income is not over $70 per year witli prices higher than in the U. S. Kach man keeps a few fish which he trades to the local trader, who sits by the river hank, for a handful of nuts and some soda pop. The women do not seem to work except to tidy up fie huts and lo pound out inellel lor tood. Willi the llsli drying and because there is no sewer or outhouses, Hie village can be smelled for quile a dis tance. "We have visited the president of Chad in his office, who was very friendly and for the first time expressed a desire to visit I he U. S. Our ambassador will likely notify Washington of Ids wishes and probably a visit will be arranged. The Chadean gov ernment had a dinner for us at the National Assembly. There were about 2000 there along with the president, most of his cabinet and the entire diplomatic corps. That was on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, the president had us at his palace for dinner of champagne and whole roast lamb. The land) was stuffed with vegetables, then barbecued. You eat it with your fingers by tearing off pieces. Quite a sticky event but it was good. "The trip here by plane was very pleasant, and I feel we are accomplishing something by way of goodwill at least. The literacy level is very low. There are only a handful of Europeans here and most of the other two or three millions arc native Africans, mostly living in tribes in the bush. I believe the bush natives do better than the ones living in the cities like Ft. Lamy. The natives are very well built, seem healthy and well fed. I am told this will not be the case gen erally at the other stops. "I find the Americans and the American government to be highly respected here. Our am bassador is a career man of about 20 years experience and is a bachelor. He is absolutely tops in his field. His administra tive assistant is also a career man and is a wonderful rep resentative for us. Apparently an American can go anywhere he wants to in Chad the interior or in natives villages in perfect safety as far as the population is concerned. The economy here is very poor. They are several hundred miles from the sea, have no railroads and no paved roads. For about nine months of the year the roads are absolutely impassable. All trucking must be done during three or four months of the year. The only way of moving around during the rainy season is by air. This government is highly subsidized by the French to the tune of about $1,000,000 a year. They would like to have aid from us, too, but we are not planning to for fear of the French turning it all over to us. So long, Al Lamb."

Parker, now of Walla Walla, Wn., widow of the late Frank E. Parker. will take a course in American history. "It will show them the length and breadth of their own coun try," says Tour Director M. L.
