Among the vast and satisfying
changes which the Rev. william
McClements and his wife have Wit
messed during their 26 continuous
years as Seventh-Day Adventist
missionaries in Nigeria, West Africa,
are an evolution from cannibalism
to Christianity and from abysmal
ignorance to an ability to read news
papers in the vernacular. They
have also seen a transition from
tangled footpaths to automobile
roads.
Mr.. and Mrs. McClements are in
washington again for the first time
in is years. They have come as
delegates to the World Conference
Of Seventh Day Adventists, which
is being held here from Wednesday
until June Is. It took them 10 days
by freighter, bringing cocoa and
copra from Cape Martin on the
Gold Coast, to New York City.
Mrs. Nc Clements, who ran 4 dis
pensary for the natives when she
first went out as q bride with her
missionary husband, knows what 1t
Is to live in the bush-And not to see
another white woman for 5 to 6
months at time.
London-born and bred, she has
accompanied her husband, who Is
now general superintendent Of
Seventh-day Adventist missionary
work in West Africa, on most of his
trips into the interior. She mod
estly admits to having done "a bit
of everything" during the course Of
her partnership with her husband
in this remote part Of the world,
which is under British protectorate.
Rough Going 1T Fir1t.
At first, the McClements had to
60 on foot In their visits to the ma
tive hamlets. Once, one Of their
associates was aroused by a stealthy
sound in the grass hut in which he
was sleeping. A, searchnght swiftly
turned showed aFiarge and startled
leopard, which fed through the
opening which served as Z doorway.
Upon another Of their expeditions
q herd Of more thar, 400 stainpeding
elephants bypassed their compound
by only a few yards.
Even today, when they travel by
motor. despite all Of the extraordi-
nary advances in civilization which
have taken place, they have to carry
everything necessary for their COM
fort, from portable beds and baths
to canned foods and a can opener.
All the milk is of the canned or
dried variety. Before the war, they
depended chiefly upon American
canned goods, which are their IA
vorites, but when exports were shut
down, they had to learn to depend
on their ingenuity and resource
fulness in utilizing native food.
The viewpoint of the McClem-
ents toward the natives Of Africa is
a fine and liberal one. They gen.
timely like and admire them and
have many good friends among
them in their Christian jurisdiction
over approximately 81 million ma
tives. The natives call Mr.. Nc
Clements "Ba-ba," father, and Mrs
McClements, "Iya," mother.

Will SOlUe Strike Problem,

Strikes mean loss in product.

Strikes mean a waste Of tim e

Lost production is more serious
than lost money;while lost time
