i PORTERDALE—The Welaunee
Hotel was headquarters for many
distinguished . visitors last week
B who were participating in
“Schools of Missions” in various
B Baptist Churches of the Stone
! - Mountain Association. In Por-
L terdale, the Baptist Church shar
ed in a “School of Missions” or
’ Missionary Conference as it as
s was often called. Twice on Sun
" day and each week-day evening,
individuals shared with the peo
ple of Porterdale the thrilling
/ experiences they have had in
• foreign lands and at home,
e wherever they have served in
4 Christ’s Name.
A number of the missionaries
were invited to visit the various
' classrooms at the Porterdale JR.
* High School School and give
’• first-hand reports of the coun
e tries which the children are
studying in their social studies
classes. Some of the fifth grade
‘ pupils have written stories of
’ their visitors to share with the
e readers of the Bibb Recorder.
'> “We Heard of China and
$ Hawaii”.
> Mrs. Homer McDonald, a mis
e sionary teacher in China moved
F to Hawaii when the Communists
'• took charge of China. Last Wed
nesday, October 13, she visited
’ our class and told us about the
1 people in those places.
Mrs. McDonald taught us a
song in Chinese and showed us
1 how the children bow when
5 the teacher comes into the room.
She said they do not know how
to whisper, and it is the custom
' in Chinese schools to study out
5 loud.
Mrs. McDonald brought a
• Chinese wedding skirt made of
red silk and told us that girls
’ marry very young. She showed
1 us Chinese dolls and some shoes
1 worn by the women who had
their feet bound when they were
; little girls. We especially liked
• the snuff bottle. Mrs. McDonald
• told us that the women put a
little snuff in their noses so
they will sneeze and the men
1 will notice them.
In Hawaii, the people give
( visitors a lei and say “Aloha”
when they welcome them or
1 when they leave. A lei is a
necklace made of gardenias,
orchids, or other flowers. “Aloha”
means many things: hello, good
bye, happy birthday.
Before Mrs. McDonald left,
both Fifth Grades sang for her
a Hawaian song we have learned.
Then she sang “Aloha Oe” with
us.

“Mr. Vernon Told Us About
Brazil”
Mr. Vance Vernon, a preacher
who is a missionary in Belem,
Brazil, came to see us on Thurs
day, October 14. He told us that
the width of the Amazon River
is the same as the distance from
here to Mobile, Alabama. The
Amazon River is the largest riv
er in the world.
In the State of Para, where
he lives in Brazil, it rains all
the time during the wet season
and once every day during the
dry season.
We enjoyed seeing the club
he showed us and were interest
ed in the cluster of Brazil nuts
he brought. Mr. Vernon said the
tree had to be thirteen years
old and the tallest tree in the
jungle before it would grow Bra
zil nuts.

“A Visitor From West Africa"
On October 18, Miss Mary
Evelyn Fredenburg, a missionary
nurse from Eku, Nigeria, West
Africa, came to visit Miss Mary
Cannon’s Fifth Grade. Misg Mary
Trippe’s Fifth Grade and some
of the Sixth Grade pupils joined
us for her visit. Miss Fredenburg
dressed Peggy Allen and James
Womack as a Nigerian Girl and
boy. She showed us some Afri
can shoes made from an old
rubber tire, some tops the boys
play with, and some money. The
penny was as big as our half
dollar.
The native medicine which
Miss Fredenburg showed us were
a snake skeleton and a bracelet
made of seed sworn to keep
evil spirits away. She showed
us two wooden idols that the
People worship.
Miss Fredenburg brought a
drum for us to see and told us
that some drums are called
‘Talking Drums” and are used
to send messages.
African Boys and Girls play
with balls made of solid rubber.
They carry bottles of ink and
their packages on their heads.
We enjoyed learning about the
people in Nigeria, and we hope
Miss Fredenbure can come to
see us again sometime.
