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."

Error Corrected
In a story on the Order of
Eastern Star in last week's
Gazette-Times, it was erroneous
ly reported that the altar was
draped In memory of Frank S.
Parker. The name should have
been Frank E. Parker, a member
who died last year. The paper

to Frank S. Parker of Heppner
and Mrs. Frank E. 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.
Morey, Stayton High school sup
erintendent. "It will make more
vivid their American heritage of
freedom by showing them the
shrines commemor a t i n g the
wresting of this country from the
wilderness and foreign domina
tion." Most of the students, like Bill,
earned their own money to make
the trip. His parents will take
him to Stayton over the week
