As I drew. in my head and was turning
around,
Down the 'chimney she came with a
swooshing sound.
She was dressed all in black from her
head to her foot
And her clothes were all covered with
ashes and soot;
A big old kettle she had slung on her
back,
cAnd a ladle for stirring she drew from a
sak.
Her eyes - how they squinted; her skin -
how it craeked
Her cheeks were so hollow, her. nose it
was flat!
' Her dry little mouth was,drawn up like a
prune ,
The square of her chin was like a log
newly-hewn;
The butt of 'a cigar she clamped in her
'teeth,
And the smoke it encircled her head like
a shield;
She had a hard brow and a lip that, was
tight, '
Her voice, like a hin.ge,creaked in the
night.
She was long and lean, a real scary old
elf,
And I shuddered aloud, in spite of
myself;
A blink of her eye and a twitch of her
head,
For a moment I felt -nothing but dread;
She spoke not a word, but went straight
to her work,
Blew out all the pu-mpkins, thenc turned
with jerk
her head,
Anedstraightening the cap on the top of
And giVing a nod, up the chimney she
fled;
'She sprang to her brOom, to her cat gave
a ory •
And away they all flew like the sweep of
a scythg;
But I heard her, proclaim ere she flew
pa'st the moon,
"Trick or treat to you all, and I'll be back
real soon."
(Oops, I've got my occasions mixed.
What can you expect from someone who
just had the wits scared out of, her by a
four-foot Count Dracula who cduldn't wait
until' October 31?)

When, what to my watering eyes should

But a corn stalk broom and a cat, black

With a little driver, so evil and thin
I knew in a moment it must be a witch.
More rapid than a jet her broom it came,
And she screeched, and howled, and

To the top of the porch, to the top 'of the

The skies were all black, and the cat

The doctor' said, '"WoWdiradian's) are the
fortunate ones because,-we are on the giving
side ... do you know how terrible it must be
to be on the receiving end?"
In a question period following her talk, Dr.
Hitschmanova was asked what the USC does
to help people become mote self-sufficient.
Teaching
The doctor said USC is 'first interested it
teaching the people of underdeveloped
countries to produce 'more and better. food.
The second concern of the USC is "for the
health of people in these countries, coupled

were nestled all warm in
with family planning programs to overcome
overpopulation problems. Dr. Hitschmanova
said there is no happier day for the USC than
"W5en we can' phase out (our programs)
since we are no longer needed." •She said
this year, the USC will leave Korea on
December 31, after 27 years involvement
since the country now has a high enough
standard of living to do without the group.
Another student asked Dr. Hitschmanova
if people from the have-hot countries could
be moved to more) affluent countries. Dr.
Hitschmanova said this was very difficult to
accomplish except in the case of an extreme
by Alice Gibb
When Dr. le,otta Hitschmanova, founder
and executive director of the -,Unitarian
Service Committee of Canada, founded the
agency after World War 11, she -planned to
tlevot one year to helping people overcome
the ravages of war.
Now, 33 years later, Dn._ Hitschmanova is
.still using every means .available t® her to
tell the. people of Canada about the plight
faced by thelThird World. .
Last Wednesday, Dr. Hitschmanova, a
petite redhead who always wears the same
plain, military-style uniform, spoke about
her work to students at District_
High School.
Seaforth„
`}
The doctor told students she faced a
difficult assignment since she came to them
as a messenger "from people half a world
away" who have different "lifestyles,
languages and problems."
'Dr.- Hitschmanova asked the students to
imagine they had been born in the tiny
country of Bangladesh, which is smaller tian
the Maritimes and has 83--million people.
World Tour -
Dr: Hitschmanova, who only returned
from a world tour of underdeveloped
countries recently, said many ,people in
Bangladesh earn their living as' rickshaw
drivers. The men rise at 6 a.ni., carry, water
freoin the village well to wash, and then put
onthe same sweaty shirt they have worn for
days, often the only shirt they own.
The doctor said the men don't have any
breakfast, they work hard and long, and

Students' council greets Dr. Lotta
Oitschmanova of the , Unitarian
,Services Committee after Dr.
Hitschmanova's talk to students at
the school . During her talk to the
students, the doctor suggested they

the school to provide clothing for
people in Third Wprld countries.

bring home the equivalent of 37 cents a day
which pays for the family's only meal of the
day, which usually consists of vegetables.
Dr. Hitschmanova said the fact which she
found so "degrading and haunting" was
that these men "have to do the work of
animals or machines." She told the students
it was only an accident of birth that the
rickshaw drivers were born in Bangladesh
rather than Canada.
Although Dr. Hitschmanova painted a
sober picture of life in the poorer nations of
the world, she said she found some progress
en her last visit" to these 'countries.
One improvement is that the Unitarian
Services Committee (USC) is able to feed
many of the people in these poorer nations
with milk, made from milk powder donated
by the Canadian government.
Food for Work
Also, the United Nations haS created a
food-for-work program in countries like
Bangladesh. The agency pays the workers
with food in return for their labor in projects,
which will imprOve living conditions in the
country. In Banglatlesh, for example, which
is threatened with serious flooding, during
the monsoons, the men are digging dikes to
prevent future flooding.
In Lesotho, a small' country in the south of
Africa, the USC has started, an egg industry
wh,ich is operated by women in the country.
The women are often left alone for months at
a lime, with no income coming in,-when their
husbands leave Lesotho towOris.i901 9.91ines
of Sough Africa, often returning
only once a year. Now the women are
producing 'eggs for nine months of the year
which not. only supplies them with fi3od, but
also brings in enough money to keep families
afloat.
Dr: Hitschmanova said when she first
'visited Lesotho, she was shown a beautiful
hospital.' However, when. she was taken
inside the building she found "there was
nothing • bet human need." There were no
blankets to cover patients, no diapers for the
'newborn babies and the nurses lacked
uniforrns. Since then, Dr. Hitschmanova has
been able to supply each nurse with .;five
uniforms through donations made by
Canadian nurses, ..and Canadians have
donated money to buy blankets, 'diapers and
build a childrens' ward at the hospital.
Herd Boys
Dr: Hitschmanova •said another problem
the USC has \ tackled in Lesotho is that of
herd boys or girls who aren't able to go to
school.
The doctor told the sutdents the children
start caring for village herds when they are as
young'as four or-five years of age. Now the
' USC has started a scholarship fund which
allows the children to attend school and pays
someone else to care for the animals. This
year, 48 children who would have been
denied an education are attending class
under the scholarship program. The children
said Dr. Hitschmanova, "are the great hope
' of their country for'the future."
In telling.the students about the work of
the USC, Dr. Hitschmanova said the agency

tragedy such as a war, .
Overpopulated
Dr, Hitschmanova said the world is
already overpopulated, and there are few
countries „left which have as• small a
population as Canada.
She said 80 per cent of the resources of the
world,"hoiiever, belong to less than 20 per
cent of the world's population.
The doctor said she spoke to the students
to make them more aware of the responsi-
bility we have in Canada to care more for the
other people of the world, to share more'and
to waste less of our own resources.
