African missionary is speaker David Law, a missionary from Zaire, Africa, was a recent guest speaker at North Webster United Methodist church. He works as a lay, agricultural missionary. David, a young man of 30, is no stranger to Zaire. He went to Africa with his missionary father, mother and brother in 1950 when he was five years old. He lived there until 1963 when his father was killed by revolutionists. After receiving college degrees in agriculture, and marrying a home economist, he returned three years ago. to a land that was in great need of his knowledge and ability. He is now teaching the people to raise chickens and cattle, and new ways of tilling the soil for crops, which are badly needed to provide proper nutrition to a starving people. The lack of protein in their diets causes serious health problems. His wife works with the native women, teaching them to sew and to prepare foods which they are able to raise. A new sense of dighity comes to these native people when they discover ways of keeping their families healthy. Both men and women assume new responsibilities In previous years the women were tillers of the soil, which was done by crude hand tools. Now that more advanced tools are being used, the men take pride in using them, thus leaving the mother free for duties in their primitive homes.

Mrs. Gamble and Stahl were the only two potential candidates to respond to a request for an interview. Beemer was in Miami at a sales meeting and could not appear, either. It was councilman Tom Anglin who nominated Beemer as a board member, and the motion carried. Two issues influenced the council's choice: one being the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors, and the other being indue pressure on the county alcoholic beverage commission. It was thought Beemer would respond negatively to both. Beemer is a well known and well respected member of the Syracuse community, making his home with his wife Barbara on Lake Wawasee. Besides being chairman of the Syracuse plan commission, he is secretary of the Syracuse-Wawasee chamber of commerce, and takes an active interest in affairs concerning the Lakeland area.

The board denied the petition. Ralph Thornburg, a resident of Syracuse Lake’s North Shore Drive, asked the board what had been done about bringing city sewer to residents in that area. Board president Darrell Grisamer said the city’s engineer, Jerry Lessig of Warsaw, is working on the problem. Thornburg questioned the propriety of running the sewer line along the lake front as proposed, stating that it would have to be buried very deep. He also said, since he lived on that location, "three feet of lake line has been lost.” The board also said they’ would bring this to Lessig's attention. He asked that Lessig survey the lake homes “from a boat”, that he might get a different perspective that way. Townsman Lowell Stidham, 412 Boston street, told the board someone has been spraying weeds along the alley behind his property and killing “half my garden. ” He said the town should keep its alleys clean if it asks town residents to do the same. Joe Hughes admitted bricks in the alley and on South Third street are his, and that they would be cleaned up. Hughes also asked the board how many residents in the newly-
