Recently she brought Dr, Wayne Wells, a retired South ern Oregon Professor, who gave a travelogue on Africa - where he traveled extensive ly for two years, personally taking the colored slides which were shown by him at the station theatre. He planned on the trip for three years, and his slides were devoted to large ani mals, colorful life, and excit ing scenes in wild and bound less spaces. Yet his financial outlay for the ocean voyage cost of pictures, and land travel amounted to only ?3, 5'00, he said. Up rivers, and over deserts, the most outstanding surprise to Dr. Wells, was to find, the very modern cities they have in Africa. From Capetown in the south, he journeyed up through the east central part and down the Nile to Cairo, using up nine months in 1958, on this trip alone.
