Story Of Trip In Untracked Jungle
Of Brazil h Written To Homefoik
By Missionary Graduate of H.-S.l).
Uy RAY
A Btory of .pioneering Into the In-
terior of Brazil in n pickup truck
heavily loaded with a "civilized" car-
go that included a mechanical refrig-
erator n radio nnd a bicycle has been
written to friends in Abilene by the
Rev. Blonnye Foreman Baptist mis-
sionary. The Rev. Mr. Foreman completed
n long trip over trails meant for noth-
ing larger than oxcarts when ho nr"-
rived nt Corrente his station on No-
vember 11 after having left Recife
October 24. Letters to Abilene friends
were received n few days ago after
two months in the mails.
En route the missionary drove the
pickup through long stretches of
sand that reached the hubs across
rivers and marshes and through brush
country. In some cases he writes
it was necessary to cut nway trees
remove rocks and fill in holes before
the automobile could bo driven. It
was tho first time a motor vehicle
had ever been driven to Corrente
though others had attempted tho trip.
Natives Mystified
"Some were afraid some curious
and some greatly amused" said tho
Rev. Mr. Foreman in describing reac-
tions of the nntives at seeing the
pickup. "They would nsk nil kind of
questions such as will it really run
without oxen hitched to it? At times
I would tell them that it was bad to
kick nnd then would honk the horn.
They always jumped nway as if they
had been kicked at.
"The night after I arrived in Cor
rente I rigged up the radio without
a ground wire nnd using the bed
springs for nn aerial. Wo got pro-
grams from several countries includ-
ing the United States. . . Tho peo-
ple wcro carried away with the radio.
There is hardly n moment during the
day that there are not folks coming
nnd going looking nt the car listen-
ing to the radio looking nt the refrig-
erator and trying the ice.
"At each meal we give the natives
ice or something cold. It has kept
us laughing to see the different ex-
pressions on the faces. Numbers of
them sny the ice burns them."
H-SU Graduate
The Rev. Mr. Foreman is a grad-
uate of Hardin-Simmons nnd is a
brother of Wendell Foreman princi-
pal of Elmdale school. He is a son
of Mr .nnd Mrs. J. B. Foreman of
Clovis N. M. Late in 1035 he fin-
ished n six-year period of mission
work in Brazil nnd came home for a
one-yenr furlough.
While in the United States he col-
lected $500 for the construction of nn
orphan's home nnd nnother $500 to
build a hospital at Corrente. The
Amomn girls' Bible Clnss at Univer-
sity Baptist church of which Mrs. J.
L. Anthony is teacher is paying the
salary of a native trained nurse nt
tho hospital. Tho missionary return-
ed to Brazil last fall for a seven-year
term.
Excerpts from letters written home
by Missionary Foreman describing
the trip into tho interior:
"At times we hnd to get four or
five men to help us get through n
place. We would work for hours in
going n very short distance cutting
away the trees digging nnd filling in
the rond cutting nway stumps tak-
ing out stones etc. The shortest
day's drive we made was about 12
miles the longest nbout 20"
' River Crossing
In describing the crossing of a river
he wrote: "We got two canoes tied
them together put planks across the
boats and crossed the river thnt way
DAVIDSON
having driven upon tho bonis nnd
over two planks placed from the shore
to them. Hnd to take off nearly all
tho load and pack it in canoes."
Part of the trip was mndo on n
boat travelling up tho Sno Francisco
river. Ho wrote "All they had for
me to drive up onto the boat was two
board walks with boards crossways
like a ladder. I took most of tho bag-
gage off nnd drovo on. Imagine how
I felt when I wns nbout half way up
to the boat when one of the plnnks
broke. I thought sure I wns a goner
but tho others held."

OFF AND ON
(Continued from pago 1)
the intra-murnl nctlvlty of seasons
recently past.
It's indeed n sad day when athletic
nctivitics of u university campus have
to be limited to the professional type
of athlete nnd the strickly nmateur
are slothfully content to polish their
jenns on the spectator's stool.
For the benefit of the never sup-
pressed nor weary hecklers let it be
said that your most efficient corres-
pondent at one time never failed to
annex the necessary quota of personal
fouls required for ejection before ac-
tion had been going on ten minutes.
Long before the close of the season-
three winters past the said individ-
ual had been barred from further
participation in the intramural cage
battles. The reason six 180 odd
pound huskies had been confined to
their cots with compound fractures
and at least ten other daring ama-
teurs of a frailer caliber Merc limp-
ing from classroom to chapel.
That never to be forgotten "great-
est thrill" came to your writer when
in the second setto he hnd ever taken
pnrt in the ball suddenly nnd unex-
pectedly reposed in his hands. Being
of n strictly non-nssuming character
and having no nmbition whatsoever
for individual honors the timid bas-
keteer faced the dilemma of shoot-
ing the gonl or passing to n more
dependable player. After u momen
tary deliberation the decision was
reached to fire at that tiny hoop ex-
tending from the backboard follow-
ing a superb arched flight of nt least
10 feet the apple descended with n
perfect swish shot. That two points
comprises the sole contribution to tho
princely game by this department.
If jou haven't already guessed the
primary purpose of the above is to
consume the necessary space but we
would still like to see a revival of the
intramural basketball sport. Majbe
our "should be functioning council"
will take it upon themselves to do
something ahouf the matter.

"When your B T. U. doesn't grow
Attendance getting very low
Members coming nwful slow
Why don't you sturt something?
"Don't act like you nrc full of dope
Don't lose every bit of hope
Don't just sit around nnd mope
Start something!
"Got your social committee working
Tnke n hnnd nnd don't bo shirking
When you're loafing trouble's lurking
Better start something!
"Start something that wilt" tnke
No matter if you lose or make
But now for tho Church's snke
Let's stnrt something!"

"Father where shall I woik today?"
And my love flowed warm and fice.

And snid "Tend thnt for me."
I nnswered quickly "Oh no not there:
Why no one could ever sec
No mntter how well my work wns

Not that little place for me!"
And the word ho spoke it wns not
stern;
Ho answered me tenderly
"Ah little one search that hcait of
