Mr. Sayers travellld to the little known Polynesian is- land as part of a four-man Mormon mission. His job was to help in the maintenance of the eight small Mormon branches al- ready established on the is- land and to help in any way possible with the problems of the island's 4,000 population. "1 don't think my church could have sent me any further away than they did,' Mr. Sayers told The Times today "But it was a wonderful experience and something [ would not have missed,. Mr. Sayers spent the en- tire two and a half years without so much as a penny in return. The cost of the trip and money to keep him going was paid by Mr. Sayers' parents here in Oshawa. "I lived on an allowance of $65 a month," he explained. Mr. Sayers lived on the tiny coral island, just 10 miles wide and 14 miles long, almost cut off from civilization MONTHLY MAIL "We used to get a mail boat from Tonga once a month and the boat with gasoline supplies cane twice a year. But we did not lack for anything really." The islanders, he had electricity and a motor vehicles "Even the Beatles were popular down there. We used to hear them on the radio. The people, too, loved to watch movies "A man down there had set up a little theatre in a barn and they used to go and sit on grass mats to watch the show. "They didn't really know what was going on but they liked them all the same." Mr. Sayers biggest prob- lem when he arrived on the island was the language. "Niue," he said, "has a language all of its own. It's not spoken anywhere else in the Polynesian islands.' Even so he quickly taught said, few y WAYNE SAYERS himself to speak the tongue and came away from the island speaking fluent Niuean "T believe I'm among only 22 people outside of Niue who speak the language. As a matter of fact I had an awful lot of difficulty speak- ing English when I got back "T would sit down to the lunch table and start talk- ing in Niuean without realiz- ing it," The islanders he described fs extremely well built and muscular and a very friend- ly and happy people Mr. Sayers' only trans- portation on the island was a dependable bicycle. "We reckoned it out one night," he said. "We covered the best part of 20,000 miles on. those bicycles." On the local food Mr. Sayers commented that he enjoyed every meal. Sweet potatoes, fish and taro, These were the staple foods "We used to very well," he said. 'They could cook beautifully.' Now that he is back Mr. Sayers is thinking about his career. He leaves for the U.S. very soon to take up a university physical educa- tion teaching course in Los Angeles "T would like to go back to the island," he concluded. "Tt was a beautiful place.
