Fifty percent are men and women under 20 years of age, who will one day be their coun- tries‘ leaders. The young people at present have few job oppor- tunities and little or no train- Young Christian students de- plore the corruptfon in poli- tics and seem to be searching for answers to this and other problems in their faith, in their church. For the young person em- bracing Christianity there is the deep conflict of breaking with the old, and the burden of knowing a beloved parent’s heart will break when the youth confesses to being a Christian. A tiny nucleus of Christians kept the faith alive in this area when the missionaries were driven out during the war. “WShe concluded with the poem: “I sought my God, But my God eluded me.

IKing City To Get, FireAlarm Systemi King City Fire Brigade has! ordered a new Siren alarm system expected to cost nearly $1,100. In the last few days the bri- gade has been hampered in fi- ghting ten grass fires, by a worn-out siren on the barn roof in the village park that refused to work. As soon as four brigade of- ficers’ wives received fire warnings, they had to summon the firemen individually by phone, instead of being able to push a button beside the fire phones to start the siren. The original siren has given fairly reliable service, since it was purchased second hand for $125 nine years ago. It will be replaced by larg- er equipment on the same barn. Fire Chief David Glass hopes the new warning system will be heard clearly all over the village by firemen. Depen- ding upon the weather and winds, the older siren was not always audible in all directions.

LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS-Get Results-TU.4-IIOS CLEM. THE HAPLESS HAMSTER This story comes from some telephone friends from another town where it seems there lives a most curious little hamster named Clem. One day Clem was taken shopping by his 14-year-old master and his pal. Feeling Clem might get lost v when they went into a large store, the boys fi‘placed him in a phone booth for safekeeping while // ‘they shopped for a few minutes. When they re- 73 m )3. ‘turned, Clem was nowhere to be found. It was i a little while before they spotted a tiny tail wagging frantically in the coin return slot of the pay telephone. Poor Clem’s curiosiy had gotten the best of him and he was hopelessly stuck. When a telephone repairman arrived on the scene and com- ‘ pletely dismantled the telephone, only then was Clem, the hapless hamster, finally set free.
