retailer to volume not to exceed
that of a corresponding quarter in
1941.
Local dealers said Wednesday that
they anticipated no serious shortage
of beef for the remaining days of
this quarter which extends until the
end of March.
Some Cured Pork
Cured pork, principally hams and
bacon, which the local dealers ordin-
arily obtain from packing houses are
still to be found on the market here
in limited amounts.
Likewise those having pork in cold
storage lockers are unrestricted In

out, so long as there is no govern

Farm Home Use Unlimited
There is no limit on the amount
of pork which a farmer may butcher
for the use of himself and his fam
lily. No sales are permitted, how
ever, unless he sold pork in 1941.
Indications were Wednesday that
some relief for the retail situation
would be provided since government
price control officials were reliably

cided to place a ceiling on live hogs

missionaries, returning to the states
One of the civilians was French Jew
on his way to the United States to
take professorship in French at one
of the American universities.
Miss Schneck was originally sta
toned in Ethiopia, where she was To-
Gated at Jimma, about 200 miles from
the capital of the country, Adds Ab-
baba, and 700 miles from the coast.
Was Forced to Leave
When the Italians occupied the
country in 1888, she was forced to
leave the country by the Italian gov
ernment who allowed her to fly from
her station to Adds Abbaba in an
Italian bomber.
With the country again in British
hands, the missionaries have been in
vitei by Halle Selassie, the ruler. to
return to their former work among
the colored Semitic peoples. This
will be a matter of determination for
the Sudan Interior Mission, under
which Miss Schneck works in the
field.
Although Nigeria Us on the other
side of the continent the missionary
problems are somewhat similar to
those of Ethiopia. Both countries are
Mohammedan in their religious back
ground and Arabaic in their cultural
influence. $50
Ethiopians
The Ethiopians are of Semitic or
igin although generally dark in color.
The Nigeians are much lighter than
most of the. clolored peoples of Af-
rica. The darkest are about the same
color as, the mulatto Negroes Of the
United States.
Culturally they are much different
than the pagan Negroes found in
many parts of the continent. For the
most part they are fully clothed and
in keeping with Mohammedan prac-
tice the women are veiled. The child
rem generally are naked.
Most of the natives are quite de-
vout in their religious practices and
faithfully pray five times daily bow
ing toward Mecca as they kneel. The
children are taught to recite passages
from the Koran.
Difficult Work rt y
Missionary work in Mohammedan
countries is generally more difficult
than in pagan areas, Miss Schneck
stated. The Mohammedan religious
leaders are very jealous of Christian
missionaries and take counter meas
ures to keep their followers in hne
with what they believe to be the true
religion.
Mohammedans who have made a
pilgrimage to Mecca are known as
"Alhajis" and are accorded special
places of honor in their respective
communities. One of the Alhajis
who was converted to Christianity be-
came an object of persecution in the

| town In which Miss Schneck worked
and was punished by one of the legal
officers of the town.
The Mohammedans are an extrem-
ely proud people whose every action
| is governed by strict moral and So
cial code of behavior. Especially
strict are the Moslems about their
women. Men are not allowed to
speak to them in public and even look
ing at them is supposed to be dam
gerous offense.
Moslem Women
Only women missionary workers
may contact the Moslem women in
which work they have become very
effective in persuading them to ac-
cept the Christian point of view. Ser
ious injury or even death at the hands
of the Moslem men may result If the
social code is not observed.
Miss Schneck, a trained nurse, rs
engaged in medical work for a consid-
cradle portion of the day and this
type of activity provides inummerable
openings for later evangelization.
Since the American forces have
moved into Africa, Miss Scmeck has
seen many American and British sol
diers even though the actual combat
areas are on the other side of the
continent.
American Soldiers
Regular meetings are held for the
American soldiers who seem to en-
joy stopping in at the mission station
for good American food and addition
al contact with the American way of
| life. Miss Schneck also has contact
with British soldiers and many r. A.
F. flyers stop in at the mission sta
tion.
Miss Schneck sees Miss Mary Haas,
also a missionary under the Sudan
Interior Mission, at occasional inter
walls. Miss Haas is located at Kwoi in
Nigeria, about 800 miles southeast.
Recently Miss Haas visited Miss
Schneck at Tofa making the journey
by the motor scooter which she pur-
chased in this country. The scooter
attracted such attention that police
protection was required for Miss Haas
to leave the town.
Travel by Horseback
| Miss Schneck says that she travels
to her various mission stations by
means of horseback and finds that
form of transportation suited to her
needs.
Although three years is considered
the usual time for missionaries to
stay. for an African term, Miss
/ Schneck has been i'm Nigeria for five
years and only through unusual cir
curnstances was she able to obtain a
travel priority to make the trip at
| this time.
Miss Schneck has been visiting and
reporting of her work at the Sudan
Interior Mission headquarters in New
York city during the past week. The
organization supports 400 missionar-
| les in the African field

Warning Is GiUen On
Placing Auto Stickers

Bluffton motorists are warned by
deputy registrars to make sure that
they paste their new automobile stick
er license on the inside of the wind
shield with the red face of the stick
er against the glass.
Some motorists, it has been report
ed, have placed the stickers on the
outside of the windshield, exposing
them to the elements and damage by
windshield wipers.
Automobile owners losing their
sticker licenses or permitting them
to be obliterated thru such practice
will be required to buy a duplicate
license, the registrars pointed out.
Windshield sticker licenses were
adopted by the state this year to
save war-vital metal. They are now
on sale and must be displayed not
later than April /. All cars also
must display 1912 metal plates.

Two or three tablespoonfuls of
turpentine or kerosene in boilerful
of water will help whiten very dirty
clothes. The clothes must be
thoroughly rinsed to remove the
odor. Tetrasodium pyrophosphate
helps whiten clothing that must be
washed in hard water.
Many days of rain and snow this
winter have induced farmers to per-
nit brood sows to avoid exercise.
Animal husbandry experts say the
sows should be compelled to get
some exercise daily, and this can be
done by placing feed at some dis
tance from the shelter.
