Brazilian missionary shares work and life in Brazil
In MASONTOWN the Rev Norman Paul Brom described ten years as a Brazilian missionary in an illustrated slide lecture at the youth center. He noted 70 percent poverty, 93 percent Catholic with 30 percent active, and said missionary work could fill the gap. He cited heavy coastal industry, sparse interior, iron ore and coal imports, and potential for improving working conditions. A Q and A followed a covered dish dinner honoring him. District VFW meeting elected Kramer Turner commander and Hazel Turner president as reports noted the Cancer Fund received 59 this quarter and four new members joined AUX. Food clothing and furniture aided needy families.
