I was speaking maim ly in regard to this town, which is unusual in its whole-hearted way of making -pepple feel at home. Rut there are tqwns and towns. Before we came here we lived for two years in a town in which I felt about as much at home as if I had been a cannibal. We have lived here for two years and I feel as much a part of the town as if I were the-fourth generation of my family to have- . ■. lived here. And I knew absol­ utely no one when I came. I still come home from meetings, or social gatherings with a warm and appreciative feeling for the friendliness shown me, and I say to my husband, “I am not that different to what I was in S . . I know it isn’t myself . .. . I came - -here-prepared? to -accept artack"of friendliness, and counted on the • beauties of the town and sur- roundiing countryside where I might hike by myself, for com­ pensation/ but: found myself ac­ cepted immediately in the friend­ liest sort -of way. In that other town a Dutch family, of a died-in-the wodl Canadian, could stick their necks right out, trying to be friendly, and the settled inhabitants would , just peer around it, without see­ ing it. And, you know, I don’t know how such a town has any ? likelihood of ’getting over an at­ titude of that sort, since they apparently have no idea.. that they are so ‘self-contained’. I .have sat in meetings when no /^one thought to introduce...;me7'.to. Ithe women.-on either side, of me, ; and they talked back and. forth in front of me, just as if I weren’t •there, I felt just like a piece of .. furniture. Sometimes it was | amusing . , and ' sometimes it j that- way about . this . par! iciilu.’.’ town. Our public health niirse' here spent a couple. (>f years4- .. there, but didn’t like it. “I- did'rfl . . think they were very friendly”,1 said she. I told, her I thought, that a- masterpiece of understax'U ment. She has the same enthits I - iasm for this town as I have, and , everyone . here likes hi'r, and; ; shows it. I have heard that opin-1 ion expressed regarding' th al ——town—so-many—• times—thtrt—WfH4r-*7 assured that it was not just my healthy imagination. Any New j Canadians settling there would; have little alternative but to get i together . with their own people if possible. But let us hope that such towns are few in Ontario, f . Get your New Canadian neigh­ bors to teach you something. ; Many’of them do beautiful hand- . work and make delicious and dif- I; ferent dishes. It will please them k no end. Right now Jim and Lindy s are teaching us their favorite . Dutch card game, Claverhassen. r. My' Husband said to them one night thait we would have to teach them to play Canasta. Thev were yery anxiods ttF learn, and I then tye asked if they had ever l?layed cards, to know, the dif- I ferent. cards.. They had belonged I 'to# a Claverhassen Club in Hol- I land; but nbne~ bT the Jo th eTTTutcfi I families here play. Then friend I husband, with a nice understand-’ I leg, suggested that they teach us I their game, first, and then, we I would teach them Canasta. They I were so happy ^to be teaching I others1 something; instead of hav- I ing to learn everything new! I themselves, that their eyes.,; just i I shone.. We ' are finding, it very ,* I jnteresting, and- friend husband j telling 'them..that-nexLAVjiir|„:r I : ter there~ will Claverhassen I Clubs all over town. ? J I . Well ... there’s, the other side; I ‘‘‘In part. However I do still i I ’ feel that the more they can I Manage to' join with us; in our I activities, the ' sooner they will I happy here, and feel at home.
