Missionaries Don and Carol Richardson respond to the call of the Lord to work among these people. After careful preparation and a ten thous and mile journey, they find themselves in the shadows and sunlight of a rain forest inhabited by primitive head hunters. Painstakingly they learn the language, but are shocked when their account of Judas' betrayal of Jesus makes him a hero to people whose highest attribute is to be masters of treachery. An inter-tribal war contin ues until a warring chief offers his son as the means of bringing a lasting peace. The war ends and a primitive tribal custom makes the Gos pel understandable.

The annual book sale will begin Thursday evening, Mar. 3, and will run through Thurs day evening, Mar. 17, during the 17 hours the library is open. During the last few years, these library sales have attracted buyers from Pen dleton, Hermiston and other nearby areas. Of course, the best selection will be available to shoppers who come in early in the sale period.

Only a small selection of antique books will be priced over one dollar.

That's what Valerie Madison, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Madison of Echo, did recently as a delegate of the Inter national Foreign Youth Ex change (IFYE). Valerie told the Heppner Soroptimists that her im mediate plans are to work with her family on their farm which touches the Morrow Umatilla County line on But ter Creek. In the meantime, Valerie is reporting to various civic, school and agricultural groups on her experiences in Swit zerland. She is one of the few Oregon delegates selected for the program in Switzerland since 1948. Thursday and Friday of last week, Valerie made slide presentations to civic and school groups in both Heppner and lone. As she returns to the family farm, her brother Mark will be departing for Russia. Mark is expected to leave this week under the newly developed IFYE program of exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union.

According to Birdine Tullis, Morrow County Extension of fice, the report developed by Valerie on her trip to Switz- erland is among the best she has seen. Spectacular Switzerland in cludes 25 cantons, is 10 per cent plateau area, 40 per cent low land and 50 per cent covered with Alps. It is one-fifth the size of Oregon, but is home to three times as many people. One-fourth of the land , is cultivated, pro ducing 40 per cent of the food needed there. Swiss women in some areas have been voting since 1971. All males between 20 and 50 do military service, keeping their supplies and uniforms ever ready in their homes. These facts came out as Valerie projected the colored slides she collected during her stays in five different Swiss homes. First she lived with a low land family which raised hogs; next with a northern orchard-area family; then with an Alpine family at 7,000 feet, whose home was built in 1635. This family carefully raked hay on its steep mountain meadows with large wooden rakes. When their hunters shot deer, they tied flowers to the neck of deer does and fir boughs to the bucks "to make them look pretty."

Valerie helped them package seeds. Her fifth and final host family was Swiss-French and they oper ated vineyards and grew and cured tobacco.

Tried to encompass all she had to say. Gazed as she waved staff high Silhouetted 'gainst an azure sky. I sensed strength, great strength in the unity of her fifty states. I sensed pride, great pride. The pride to which loyalty relates. Courage flowed from her stripes of red. As the pure of her white and true of her blue, Waved over my head. I saw her unfurled on land; at sea. Oft-times in a far off world A distant hazy world to me, To our fighting lads an uncertain world As sinister and as uncertain as a world can be. I saw her boldly marching Leading our brave lads on. Staunchly waving in triumph, When a battle is won. Their emblem of courage! Their only link with reality. With home; love; peace Their banner of hope. Leading them till these wars cease Their flag! Our flag! The red; the white; the blue! May she always our courage renew. I humbly bowed my head. Dear God, help her to bring them home from over there To bring Peace everywhere.
