CRISIS IN AFRICA
By ROBERT DURR

One hundred ana thirty sl4
men and women arose and SAID,
"r will 60" when the call was
made for BahaI World Faith
pioneers TO go to Africa as
teachers, spiritual missionaries,
and pioneers during the recent
inter. Continental Teaching Con-
ference at Medina Temple In
Chicago and nearby Wilmette,
Illinois - the latter the national
headquarters of Bahai Is Of the
United States.
Some of these voluntary
pioneers have already sold their
homes and possessions and are
on their way to Africa to work
and stay permanently as a part
OF the Ten Year World Crusade
to give the Bahai message to
mankind all over the world as
they believe their message Is
the one for mankind today.
Africa stands at the cross =
roads today. It's people are pure
and receptive minded. They
yearn for freedom from political
and economic seryitude TO
white protectorate exploiters
and dominators. And hence
they are susceptible to Comm
unism or genuine God guided
responsible leadership.
They are sceptical Of any
plan offered by white peoples a.

irst for. The white nlissionar!
will accomplish little unless hi
forgets he Is white and ever
becomes ashamed Of his whit

all those professional mission
aries who came and mad
themselves the gates throug
which the unscrupulous, prec

Mrs. Van zandt told the club.
which met in the YWCA, that
she and her husband were par

American-made cars they noticed
in the cities and the success of
super markets.
Mrs. Van Zandt illustrated her
lecture by showing colored slides.
Club members were particularly
amused with a picture showing
the big cook and little maid that
came with the seventh floor,
two-story apartment the Van
zandt's occupied in Mexico City.
Mountain scenes. Mayan ruins
and examples of Colonial Span
ish architecture were also por-
