(Engagement QBhituary George Hollowell “I have been taking part in other voluntary organizations. One of these is known as ‘Sauk? yadana’ made up of doctors, nurses and other volunteers. Its aim is to give free medical aid to the poor. During this season Svaukyadana is supplying medi- cal aid to the pilgrims who go to Adams peak for the gaining‘ of religious merit. During the months of March, April and May thousands of pilgrims climb the 7300 foot peak known as Siri Pada, particularly on full moon days. Budd-ha is said to have visited this peak and a temple known as Maluua has been built around the footprint of Buddha. People from all parts of Ceylon and of all ages complete the strenuous climb. The climb is started in the night so that pilgrims can reach the peak by sunrise. The sun is extremely hot throughout the morning while a heavy mist usually settles in the afternoon. followed later by cold winds and rain. It could be compared to our March weather but without the frost.” “We had 60 volunteers for our four day camp at Sirl Pad-a . . . We had five camps along the route including one at the base and one at the peak. . . . I spent the first few days at Camp No. 2. 5000 feet above sea level. We set up our provisions in a small caj‘an hurt. Through- out the day and night the young men went out on patrol duty where they often had to assist fainting women or aged people suffering from angina pain. Our most common treatment was giving glucose orally and intra- venously to those who had drained their last bit of energy and were fainting . . . The pil- grims do not carry food sup- plies with them nor can they afford to buy even a cup of tea which is three times the normal amount at the small boutiques scattered along the route." lPilgrim Mountain Climb ils Aided By Local Girl “A few years ago the health department encouraged all mo- thers to go to hospitals or mat- ernity homes for confinement but it is now being discouraged due to overcrowding and lack of hospital staff. Delivery in a one-room, dark but with no bed or equipment other than a pot to boil water is difficult and unsafe . . . We just completed mass vaccination for smallpox after an epidemic and now an epidemic of polio is spreading quickly. Approximately 200 cases have been reported around Colombo in the past three weeks 50.5. calls have been sent to Russia, Canada and France for vaccine. “Well, it's back to home visit- ing, clinics and delivering ba- bies. This morning we arrived on the scene without a minute to spare. There had been little time to prepare for this deliv- ery but that didn’t upset the success of the birth of an eight pound girl. The new-born was bathed within a half hour after her entry to this new environ- ment. A small lock of her hair was cut and her first hair-cut will be only on an auspicious day. Once the baby was dressed the mother took off her wed- ding band to wash the gold in a small amount of water. A lit- tle sugar is added and the mix- ture is spooned to the baby in order that she might have pros- perity in the future.” “I was totally fascinated by the small sections of India that we saw on this so short intro- duction. (A three week trip in South India. Editor.) Our three week trip became almost one month for me since I was de- tained at the Mand‘apan quar- antine camp for six days . . . Yes it was most embarrasslng for a Public Health nurse to have forgotten to have her cerâ€" tificate signed when she re- ceived her last cholera shot. My stay in the hot. sandy camp was quite unexpectedly pleas- ant. The superintendent and his wife very kindly took me into their home and I relaxed and learned a little Indian cooking." Ceylon Experience Described (A Richmond Hill g'irl, Miss Grethe Dahl, is ser- ving as a public health nurse in Ceylon with Canadian Overseas Volunteers â€" an organization providing graduate technical service abroad. The need for such service â€" the conditions under which work‘ is being carried on â€" the story of the religious practices of people in a faraway land â€" are told by Miss Dahl in these extracts from a lengthy report recently sent to Canada by her. EDITOR.) “T-he pilgrims were reward- ed for their fortitude by ex- periencing the breathatakng beauty of the sunrise at 6.15. I was losing all hope of seeing the sun rise until miraculously the mist lifted and the pink, gray and golden hues burst‘ forth. The dark, lifeless valley1 suddenly sparkled and white streams of water-falls could be seen in the distance. We then changed our direction to gaze at the perfect shadow of the fam- ous Siri Pada against the gray sky and valley." BOLTON : Work on the new post office building was halted by council some weeks ago. when it was complained vhat the building was not set back in accordance with zoning reg- ulations. It was started again when Ottawa officials agreed that local regulations must be followed. print and make three VOWS and worship, particu‘arly on their first visit . . A large bell is rung according to the number of visits to Maluua. There are two large lamps on whicn oils and medicinal herbs were burn- ed by the pilgrims. According to western standards of sanita- tion the conditions here were deplorable. There were few proper bathroom and washing facilities for the crowds. The rough unwashed floor and tables at the boutiques attracted end- less numbers of flies. With such conditions we had many stomach upsets to treat." “The small open air temple contains the statues of Buddha and the god Sumane as we“ as a large cemented replica of the footprint of Buddha. The pil- grims kneel before the ion:- "This is one time when all classes and castes travel to- gether and live together. Throughout the climb the pil- grims sing and chant praises to Buddha and Sumane, the god who guards Siri Pada. and they shout blessings to one another. Many shouted blessings to Suda Nona (white lady) and frequent- 1y I was offered sweets by the pilgrims. On the final day of our work we climbed to the peak at noon, just in time to gaze down at the green valleys on all sides. On clear days the sea is visible. Gradually. the clouds and mist enveloped us, giving the effect of a ship at sea." “The Saukyadan-a volunteers enjoyed many hours of work to- gether. These organizations arel now beginning to play an im-1 portant role in Ceylon’s future‘ economic development. I‘m looking forward to more work camps with the Saukyadana ‘movement and the Ceylon Ser- vice Civil International during my few remaining months in Ceylon."
