The governor was in a party of five inspecting a new road system in Wisconsin and they stopped at the meeting. Of course, the governor was interested to hear of anyone from Door county. Carl remarked to him that it looked as if the county was turning Democrat. "Never," replied the governor, "I don't think that will ever happen."
Mrs. Sylvester Roder informs that her niece, Miss Alice Busse, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Busse, Maplewood, had her commissioning service for beginning her work as a missionary with TEAM at 3 p.m. at the Calvary Bible church, 2174 S. 96th st., West Allis. Rolf Egeland, administrative secretary of the mission delivered the sermon. The ladies of the church served a supper at a reception for Miss Busse and also for the pastor of the church who is leaving for a parish in northern Wisconsin. Miss Busse affiliated with the church while going to candidate school in Milwaukee.
Present at the services were Miss Busse's parents, her grandmother, Mrs. Bertha Kasten, her sister Elaine, the Donald Lockharts of Chicago and her Aunt Myrtle, Mrs. A. Krammer and family of Chicago. Conflicting invitations prevented the Roders from attending.
Miss Busse has sent her belongings to be shipped to West Pakistan and she plans to sail from New York Mar. 6 with a nurse of her acquaintance who is returning for her second term. Had her visa arrived she would have gone by plane on Feb. 22 with a teacher who is due in Pakistan Mar. 1 to begin a new school term.
Twenty-two members of the congregation of Calvary Bible church have pledged to provide $100 monthly for Miss Busse's missionary efforts. The first year will be language study for her, plus adjustments to make in foreign customs, culture, foods and preparation.
The Evangelical Alliance Mission is a non-profit organization. Its address is 2845 W. McLean av., Chicago 47, Ill. Miss Busse's address in Pakistan will be 24 Pine View Road, Abbottabad, Hazara, West Pakistan. Miss Busse will be in Pakistan five years.
