vania and written by professors willard and verna smith of gos- ben college goshen indiana reports the pioneering efforts of uennonite refugees in the un tamed tropical jungles in the paraguayan chaco the account is 8bbr8ss based on letters written to friends and on copies of letters and reports which mr smith made to men- ijonite central committee head quarters as director for two years of the relief and refugee work in south america smith speaks from firsthand experience a few degrees north of the tropic of capricorn in the jungle of the paraguayan chaco mennonite refugees have established new communities where little more than twenty years ago only reptiles wild animals and primi tive indians lived to this land in this totally undeveloped region came refugees for conscience sake who had left their homes and lands where they had lived for generations in paraguayan interlude smiths give the story of the wanderings of the homeless people their settlement and development of raw land as they hewed down trees built crude homes and stablished life on a truly pioneer ing basis resembling early pioneers in america generations ago the brave struggle against an un familiar soil and climate arid against the ravages of insect pests is an epic touching to the heart the seemingly futile attempt of the colonists to hack into sub mission a stubborn region fit for habitation is a story nearly unbe lievable in modernday life part of the work of the smiths was to make contacts with south american governments for the mennonite refugees as they enter ed the continent many were the hours of frustration in waiting and in unloosening the red tape which held up the approval of permits for two years the smiths labored first hand with the colon ists and with the governments to belp both to understand each other in appreciation of the splendid attitude of the paraguayan government in offering the refugees a home and in granting the privilegium which permits complete freedom of worship including full rights and privileges in exemption from obligatory mili tary service in time of peace or war the smiths laid the ground work to establish a home for lepers who roam uncared for the story is told with a fine sensitive regard for the refugees and for the government para guayan interlude is in essence a rich travelogue reporting on the trip to south america the various visits to the mennonite colonies and to the cities in the different countries life m the rural rareas of countries in the southern hemis phere is viyidly described by the smiths willard smith the coauthor was
