"While the court news still rates as the most read column in [Steinbach's] Carillon News, to some people including myself there is nothing more interesting than the Colony Bergthal Paraguay news written by Mrs…. Martha Friesen. I've never met Martha Friesen and never been to South America but from years of reading her news items I've come to feel like an intimate and sympathetic friend to whom the affairs of the people written about have a personal meaning. It's the way she writes mostly but also because of the things she writes about. While the rest of us have to settle for reporting on comparatively mundane things - meetings, visits, parties - she's got a host of catastrophic events occurring in her backyard every month. Take this week's news as an example. There's a hair-raising episode about a young girl terribly mauled by a tiger. And then there's the item about a young man killed in a Bush accident and the difficult time his friends have in going and breaking the news to the parents who are at home waiting their son's arrival for Christmas." - Abe Warkentin.
