---—.... D. H. S. PERISCOPE- ------------ STREAI LINED REMINISCENCE It was the spring of 1956, Mr. Turner, rather an elderly gray haired gentlemen, sat and nodded before the fireplace as he drowsily listened to a rain squall beat upon the windows.

They demanded his resignation (knowing him to be an incurable talker). Perfectly horrible, Richard, I suppose you had heard that Alma Hiebert became a missionary to Borneo,
