teachers in this country are
looked up to and set on such
high pedestals they are almost
treated as gods. The govern
ment also enforces the mis-
sions to pay teachers very high
wages, so it is the pet ambi-
ton of all young school boys
to one day become "a-big-shot"
school teacher.
We need teachers who truly
believe that the Gospel is the
most important teaching to get
across to the boys and girls
please pray! We thought we
had located a Nandi teacher
for this term but learned that
he was unable to pass the gov
eminent examinations. There
are only a few Nandi leaders
in this area, so work with them
progresses rather slowly.
Thank you very much for
your kind letters from time to
time and for the continued as
surance of daily prayers. The
finances sent for building were
gratefully received-the $25
and $50 both came safely.
Regarding the Concertina, I
am still unable to give any de-
finite news of its arrival. The
Mr.. Buck who was trying to
help me get one through his
board, believes his correspond
ence on the subject must have
been lost in the post. He made
an air trip to England because
of death in the family, so per-
haps on his return I may have
some definite news. Other
funds have been sent to me
directly, as you suggested to
Mother, and I believe I have
enough on hand to make the
purchase.
Last Sunday, Eleanor and T,
with several of the natives,
went to an outdoor meeting
of the Kihuyu people at near
by coffee plantation. Some of
these Kihuyu young people
came to our meetings here on
the station a few months ago.
They joined together with the
Nandi meetings, and later, sew
eral of them were saved.
Then came tribal circum-
cision of both boys and girls,
when the young people are Of
ficially initiated into the tribe
by the domineering elders in
office. Horrible things take
place during the ceremony, in
Producing the young people in
to deeper sin. During the pro-
cedure the girls faces are de-
corated for life in order to
beautify them so they will have
more opportunity for marriage,
thus giving the fathers a
chance of asking a higher dow
ry. The lifelong decorating is
done in this manner-an i'm
aginary line is drawn around
each eye, then a knife is used
to cut little horizontal slashes
around the circle; then several
more slashes are made directly
under the eyes. Similar cuts
are made on other parts of the
body such as the abdomen and
the neckline. When the wounds
have bled sufficiently, wood
ashes or earth is rubbed and
pressed into each opening so

telling me how efficiently he ran his business.
The dinner was late because he had neglect
ed to tell his wife was coming. Then it sat
on the table, getting nicely chilled, while we
waited for him to tuck his youngsters into bed.
He took pride in the dinner vegetables - they
came from his own garden. But his wife grim
aoed and said she didn't see how man who'd
found time to plant a garden had no time to
keep it up. 1t just meant more work for her.

 ROTARY PARTY

Take 62 excited youngsters from high-chair age on; put them in the presence of Santa Claus beside a dazzling Christmas tree. Add proud fathers in the background, and you have the all-around best program of the year in the opinion of Rotary Club members.
 Members of the pigtail and pima fore set, along with the Buck Rogers crowd, were guests of the Juneau Rotary Club this noon for the an- nual Christmas party to which members bring their children.
 About 35 of the younger guests were seated at long low tables run ring the length of the Baranof Gold Room, right up to the Christi mas tree, and the others sat with their dads. Even the student Ro- tarian of the month, Bill Sperling, had young guests, bringing two young cousins.
 The buzz of excitement yielded long enough for the matter of eat- ing (for which the very young had 8 special menu and for carol singing.

 Of the complete list of Rotarians, Jr., and Rotary Annettes, only one was missing: 9-year-old Susan Blanton, who has humps trouble.
 You have a full complement, haven't you?" Ellis Reynolds checked the list with Rotary dads. Reynolds put on a fine party for the youngsters, assisted by Elton Engstrom in dramatic role.

FISHERMEN BEGIN REPAIR WORK ON
 MERCAD0'5 BOAT

As Mack Mercado's frozen fee painfully come to life at St. Ann. Hospital, Juneau fishermen anc wanterfront businessmen are pre-. pairing homecoming for the cour. ageous owner of the 31A464.
 The Coast Guard Cutter White Holly lowed the battered 40-fooi troller into Juneau's harbor Sum- day night. Yesterday morning g party of fishermen went with AL bert Wallace aboard his Alrita and took over the troller.
 Jack Warner, owner and opera tor of the Juneau Marine Company at the foot of West Eighth Street, helped the fishermen haul the troll Ter out of the water. Then all of them went to work caulking the hull.
 It's just a patch-up job," Warner said. We're going to put the troller back in the water so she won't freeze up during the winter"
 After the caulking was done, B. H. Jack" Manery, Carl wiedman Kenneth Willard, Lester Weiss, and Johnny James began cleaning out the cabin.
 The boat, which sunk in a squall at St. James Bay December 2, was no longer ship-shape.
 Mack always had his boat look ing neat" one of the fisherman said as he pulled a water-logged mattress off a bunk. Look at t now. Everything's messed up. They had carton of rice in here and it swelled when it got wet. It's all over. And the stoves full of soot."
 Some of the men worked at loos- ening the engine on it's mounts. R. w. Bowling Company has offered to donate all the labor necessary to put the motor in repair. And the Bowling Company has already re- paired the outboard motor on Mack's skiff.
 Jack Warner told of plans for complete repair of the fishing yes sel.
 Well bring it into the shop as soon as the weather gets little better" he said. "The fishermen have a caulking party all planned. We'll really fix this boat for Mack .'
 Reason for doing the work?
 Well" Warner explained, "the boys all like Mack. And it'll be nice for him to have his boat ready when he gets out of the hospital ,
