“And to lose choice officers has increased our problem, but we know what we are in for and we will continue to work hard and pray hard so that God will give us the power to appreciate and apply ourselves to the problem.

“The people who elected us, they know the promises we made within the time; the circumstances which we find ourselves. We will keep on trying and continue to do our best.”
