Missionary Tells Of
Troubles in Congo
By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Mail Tribune Correspondent
; Hornbrook News direct
from the trouble-torn Belgian
Congo has been received here
in a letter to Mrs. Frank
Bear, written - by a cousin
Father Willlbrord Flick, a Sa-
. cred Heart missionary priest,
' Called St. Willibrord, his
mission is located in the vil
lage of Bomili, near Leopold-
ville. The letter was written
July 29, and received by Mrs.
Bear Aug. 10. t
In thanking his cousin for
a gilt.ot money sne naa sent
him, Father Flick commented
that the American dollar was
worth 80 francs, and they are
highly valued and can be
used anywhere-nobody wants
Congolese money anymore."
Referring to the strife in
the Congo, . he wrote that
"things are going badly here
since July 7-hate against the
Belgians and all the white
race is terrific. Missionaries
have not been molested a
great deal as yet, but here and
there some 'of' the convents
have been moiested and
threatened, especially the sis
ters' convents, where in some
cases, animalistic passions and
brutalities have been let loose
on white women and the nuns
in the convents, resulting in
a good many nuns returning
to their native homes.
Father Flick was to have
taken his vacation at this time
and expected to be in his
home town of Reidfleld, Lux
embourg, on Aug. 8 for the
annual village festival, called
the Kirmes, in honor of St
Alphonses, but on "account of
the disturbances and all the
evacuation that is taking
place, all plane reservations
are being held for women and
children," consequently no
missionaries were taking their
vacations, .which are given
them every five years."
"Not wanting to be a" weak
ling nor a traitor to my
church," the priest wrote, "I
have written my bishop that
I will remain at my mission
post until everything is set
tled and back to normal in the
Congo." -
Father Flick has been at the
mission at Bomili for 23 years,
ever since he was ordained in
1937 at the age of 24 years.
Headquarters for the Sacred
Heart missionary order are in
Rome, and, through the bishop
of the City of Luxembourg in
the province of Luxembourg,
Father Flick had been grant
ed permission from the gen
eral superior to spend part of
his vacation In America, and
he had planned, and still does,
that part of it will be spent
here at the Bear home. His
last vacation, five years ago,
and his first in America, was
spent in Seattle and Auburn,
Wash., where the Bears lived
before moving to Hornbrook.
Although he writes some
English, his letter was written
in German, as he finds that
language easier and more na
tural for him. While in this
country five years ago, he at
tended school in Milwaukee,
Wis., for six weeks, learning
the English language well
enough to get by here.
He also had help acquiring
the use of the language from
a Sacred Heart order brother
from Detroit who joined him
at the mission post two years
ago. This was the first English
speaking help he has ever
had. He has seven Congolese
ordained priests in his mission
territory working under him.
United Nations soldiers
have arrived," he continued
in his letter, "and have taken
over,' and here in the Congo,
at Stanleyville, we have the
East Province soldiers from
Ethiopia, and troops from Mo
rocco. In the province of
Kircc, Irish soldiers are sta
tioned to maintain order."
In concluding his letter.
Father Flick wrote, "Whether
you will get this letter I can
not tell, as there has been a
great disrupting of mail serv
ice. Pray for us that God will
guide us and protect us and
bless this country so that
peace may return to the Con
go and life may be resumed
on a normal basis. We expect
peace to come during the win
ter. In the meantime, we will
wail in patience and put all
our trust in God.

"Where were you appear
ing before coming to Ash
land, Miss Hackney?"
"Why, Stratford, deaahh
boy. Naturally."
"Oh. How old were you
when you started there?"
"One."
"One? Did you have a
speaking pari?"
"Of course. I said 'Why'd
ya kill him?' in 'Julius
Caesar.' "
"What was your next
part?"
"Cleopatra, I was three at

"A three-year-old Cleo

"Apparently so, dahhl
ling. Parliament held a
special session to pass a
child labor law."
"Did you ever find time for
school, Miss Hackney?"
I studied for about ten
years. The Royal Family's
tutor, you know. Elizabeth
and I are great friends."
"Why did you decide to
leave Stratford and come to
Ashland?"
'I'm bringing culture to the
West. You might say I'm a
pioneer."
"What will you do when
the Festival ends, Miss Hackney?"
I really can t say, my
deaaahh. I have so many of
fers, I think I'll just toss a
coin. But whatever I do will
be big. Really big."
"Do you have an agent,
Mi Hackney?"
Yei, my Daddy. Hat
caretaker at Stratford, you
know."
"Is he in Aihland with
you?"
"No. he'i still in England.
Trouble with the shrubs."
"Miss Hackney, do you have
any advice for aspiring young
actresses?
"First, I would suggest that
her Daddy get a caretaker's
Job. It's inspiring."
"Anything else?"
"Yes. She should bypass
childish babblings such as
'da-da' and 'ma-ma' and con
centrate on 'Hall, Caesari and
'Out, damned spot.' "
"Any success secrets you'd
like to pass along?
"Just one, deaahh. I always
step in a vat of honey before
a show. Some actresses do
yogi, some prefer to con
template in silence. I wade in
honey."

By KATHERINE CHAPMAN
Mail Tribune Correipondent
Hornbrook-A delegation of
interested Hornbrook reii
dents attended the meeting of
the Siskiyou County Board of
Supervisors at the court house
in Yreka last Tuesday. . Fred

of soil control, who outlines
the flood control program to
the board, and explained that
local sponsors are needed who

Flood Prevention act (Public
Law 566) as it applies to the
project in question. Reeves
informed the board that If

first project of its kind in Cal
ifornia north of southern
Tehama county, where the
planning stage is almost com
pleted on a similar project on

Reeves' office will draft a
proposal to be preserved to
the board of supervisors in
approximately two to three
months.

of supervisors followed two
previous meetings held in
July. On July 10 at a public
meeting at the Grange hall
here, John Lenz, an engineer
with the U.S. Soil Conserva
tion service, explained Public
Law S66 in full and presented
the results of a preliminary
survey made by his office of
the Cottonwood creek water
shed.
He presented a chart show
ing the location of the five
proposed possible dam sites in
the area and outlined the pro-
cedure for getting the project
underway.
Aski Inveitigaiion
The second meeting was
held July 13 when the group
met with the Shasta Valley
Soil Conservation - district
board to apply for a small wa
tershed investigation. At this
meeting the Shasta Valley
district passed a resolution to
act as co-sponsor of a flood
control and irrigation project
under the Small Watershed
act.

request to the California
State Soil Conservation com
mission to conduct a recon
naissance investigation of the
feasibility of the project.
In the delegate from Horn
brook at Tuesday's meeting
were Fred Mitchell, Rob Cum
mins, Marion Grieb, Glen
Robertson, Robert Larson and
Frank Cardoza.
Mark Antony Hotel
'Packing Them In'
By BOB WALTERS
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
Ashland' The 1 Oregon
Shakespearean Festival isn't
the only -place that's packing
them In this summer.
Ashland's "new" Mark An
tony hotel has a full house al
most every night, too;
Harold S., Hulse, the hotel's
busy but apparently happy
general manager, said yester
day an average of 90 per cent
of the SO rooms have been oc
cupied each night since the
Festival opened July 25.
And there's a long waiting
list for rooms from now until
the final curtain comes down
Sept. J.
Business also is booming in
the coffee shop and restaurant
adjacent to the hotel lobby.
Anyone who has tried to find
an empty booth during the
noon hour will bear witness to
that.
Much Work To Do
Hulse is pleased with the
way local residents as well as
Festival visitors have wel
comed the Mark Antony but
added that we still have an
awful lot of work to do."
The main dining room.
cocktail lounge and ballroom
are expected to be completed
in about six weeks. The ball
room will accommodate 250
persons, the dining room 100
and the lounge 40.
The ballroom will be 78
feet long and 30 feet wide and
one wall will be composed of
a row of glass doors. Just out
side the ballroom and to the
rear of the hotel will . be a
covered patio and a swimming
pool, both of which are to be
ready for next season.
Between the lobby and the
coffee shop is a small banquet
room, The Tempest Room. It
will be used for the first time
when the Ashland Kiwanis
club gathers there today. .
Motel Setup Popular
Hulse said one of the hotel's
most popular attractions is the
26-room motel setup on the
third floor. Guests may park
to the rear of the building.
walk up a ramp leading di
rectly to the third floor and
contact the main lobby by
telephone for a room without
having to go into the lobby.
The hotel has three large air
conditioners, one for the ball
room, another for the dining
room and a third for the lobby
and coffe shop.
The parking lot at the rear
of the hotel will be leveled
and black-topped and will ac
commodate more than 100
cars.
Traniformeri Needed
So much electrical power is
being used simultaneously,
Hulse explained, that two new
transformation had to be in
stalled shortly after the hotel's
opening to supplement the two
already In use.
