PHONE BAYFIELD 45 r 3 Trinity WA- Hear Of Flood Disaster, Suffering, Heroic Deeds In India the-year statement, included in which was the St. Andrew's Day self-denial contribution of $1137, which this year went towards flood relief in India. Mrs: Larson read a letter from the March of Dimes committee, A letter "from an absent member, Mrs. George King, was much en- joyed and her contribution to- wards the bale acknowledged. A letter from the Rt. Rev. Heb- er Wilkinson, Bishop of Amritsar, India, told of terrible conditions caused by the worst' flood in the history of the Punjab, and review- ed the work of the church. Whole villages and crops had been wash- ed away by the angry waters. Quoting from the letter are in- cidents about which people on safe, high ground have no idea: "Wonderful. tales of heroism and endurance have been told. People risked their lives to save others in distress and villagers in mar- ooned villages showed amazing powers of endurance, Some of them were in trees for four or five days without food. When the res- cue boats eventually reached them, they were in the last stages of exhaustion but recovered re- markably after receiving food and treatment. Snakes took refuge in trees- also. You could imagine what pleasant companions they would be under the circumstances. One man had a string bed tied amongst the branches of a tree and there a baby was born to his wife as she lay in her precarious position above the flood waters. Both mother and child survived and are now quite well. One old woman clung desparately to a thorny bush for several hours and would not ret go. The wounds in her hands were mute testimony to her suffering but she saved her life," Old Cards Wanted Mrs. C. Knuckey drew attent- ion to the following clipping from a daily newspaper: "Readers may remember me as the Briton who runs a small Christmas card re- making industry, providing. light employment for myself and other disabled veterans. In all cases this type of work is the only kind possible for us and we would' be more than grateful for old cards which would otherwise be discard- ed.
