Master “Rickey” Bellmap of King, seriously hurt_ in a traffic accident recently is doing well and making satisfactory progress. New Canadians “The British immigrant, we un- derstand because he speaks our language and has our traditions. The Dutch immigrant comes to Canada with both possessions and money and is interested in buying land for agricultural purposes, but speaks little or no English. The displaced person, those from the Baltic States of Europe, know no English, nor have they wordly pos- sessions. The name “D.P." bears a stigma in Europe. He has fled with millions of others of his people to seek a home in Canada: Germany did not want him; the Allies did not need him when war was over. The cream of the Baltic civilization is pouring into Canada, rich in traditon, professionals in every branch, skilled mechanics, tradesmen and craftsmen, educa- tionists of high order, endowed with indomitable perserverance, and a will to give Canada the best they have. They are glad, the speaker said, to conform with Canadian government regulations in order to obtain their citizenship. But the English language they must speak before they can fully appreciate the position here and before they are recognized as cit izens. “Let us give them an even break all along the line,” said Miss Oliver. We are more interested in discussing these than in exam- ining our own short comings. We profess to be Christians and Can- adian citizens yet what in ten years will the new citizens think if we now fail to demonstrate and exemplify these principles.” Mrs. E. J. Kyle, W.I. president, was chairman. The speaker was introduced by vice president, Mrs. A. E. Jarvis. Mrs. Ross Walker, the first president of the organ- ization cut the decorated birthday cake made by King City Bakery. Mrs. Colin Stewart and Mrs. D. Rawlings succeeded Mrs. Walker as president. Mr. and Mrs. Albert Toronto, paid a visit to Clark on Sunday. As entertainment a group of charades in costume was effective- ly carried out down to a scene from “Macbeth”. They were ac- tually dramatic playlets and were enacted by a group of W.I. mem- bers. Laskay W. I. heard Mrs. Rex Hilton give a graphic description of European countries at the reg- ular meeting of this branch held at the home of Mrs. Fred O’Brien attended by a large number.

Describes Parts Of Europe Mrs. Hilton with her husband Dr. Hilton and their children, spent three months during the past sum- mer in Europe. Born in Finland, Mrs. Hilton found special interest there. In that country great plans are being made for the 1952 01â€" ympic games. Communistic ele- ment is not prominent there and democratic principles are strong. To Denmark, many Western Cana- B. White, Mr. Peter dians were returning for visits, taking with them their Canadian- born children. In the British- American Zone in Germany recon- struction is slow. In France they have no milk, little butter and mostly brown bread. In Holland clothes are rationed, cheese is 'short for home consumption. It is mainly exported. Former Missionary Speaks Mrs. Duncan McLeod, wife of Rev. Dr. McLeod, former mission- aries on the Island of Formosa, addressed 100 women at King Un- ited Church on October 13, at the annual thank-offering meeting of the W.M.S. when local church groups from Maple, Teston, Las- kay, Richmond Hill, Thornhill joined to hear the message. Mrs. McLeod served missions for 19 years and her husband for 43 years until 1945. Their daughter is now in South Formosa. “The Christian cause in this not- ed island is strongly entrenched through the 60,000 resident Chris- tians, and will continue to pros- per among the 8 million inhabi- tants, were communist forces to exit all missionaries,” the speaker pointed out. Wherever one looks in the east there is opportunity; the doors are open to Christianity, despite troubles and precarious nature of existing political situa- tions. Mrs. McLeod has confi- dence the work of missions will not diminish, and while it has been curtailed during the last war, the motto of the United to “Ad- vance” is impetus toward strength and advancement.
