"UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!" NO LONGER DREAD CRY

Vatican City, Dec. 1. Leper colonies are no longer the horror-stricken, plague spots of other days where lepers were sent to die, re- ports reaching the Vatican from one leper colony state.

The 1,300 lepers in the specially provided colony ut Tukuyu, Tanganika, live in up to-date cottages provided with every human comfort which the While Fathers and White Sisters who devote their lives to the work of caring for these sick people can provide.

They receive the beat medicpl treatment which modern tropical science affords, in the hope that some cures may be, effected in cases that are bot too far gone.

The colony is situated in a gar- den spot surrounded by banana and coconut groves on Makete Hill, which is three hours' walking dis- tance south of the city of Tukuyu and about 40 kilometres above the northernmost point of Lako Nyaria.

Lepers living in distant parts of the colony are treated at various centres established for the pur- pose, while those too I to travel eves relatively short distancos re- ceive treatment in their homes from the White Fathers and White Sisters.

With examples of prayers and written beliefs, Miss Quong showed- how closely akin were these primi- tive idens to our own conception of Christianity.

"In the West you may take your religions more strictly, but in China there is a fundamental es- of Christianity running through everything," she said.
