Missionary Norlie Visits On Campus Visiting on the campus last weekend was Mrs. Kenneth Nor-lie '32, missionary from Ft. Dau-phin, Madagascar. She and her husband, who is also a missionary, returned to the United States one month ago. Mrs. Norlie spoke on missions at the Moorhead Circuit LDR con-vention which was held Tuesday at Hals tad. These missionaries were sup-posed to be in the foreign field for seven years, but because of the war they remained there for nine years. They were completely cut off from mail service for two years, and they went through a period lacking many of the necessary provisions. In Madagascar it was impossible to get cloth during the latter part of the war. The missionaries were able to patch their various gar-ments together, but natives had only one garb apiece. Therefore, they treated bark to make clothes, but these clothes lasted only about two weeks. Mrs. Norlie is the daughter of Missionary and Mrs. G. T. Tor-vik. She is the sister of Miss Borghild Torvik, whom she visit-ed in Moorhead.
