Text transcribed from caption: C-30584 TANGANYIKA'S 'COTTON PADRE' AT WORK
MUSOMA, Tanganyika -- Father John F. Wymes, a Maryknoll missionary from the
Bronx, N.Y., lives up to his nickname of "Pamba Padri" -- or "Cotton Padre"
-- by helping a family sort cotton near his mission at Mussonga, Tanganyika.
Concerned for both the spiritual and social welfare of his people, the priest
has become an expert in cotton and knows that a good crop means decent food
and improved living conditions for his parishioners. Credit Must Read:
