Education Best lnvestmen
A Dashwood doefoi,• who be-
- came a .Canadian. eitizen last
week, believes education is the
most important 'possession a
person can have..
"Yeti can lose everythingyou
own but nobody can take away
what t yon -have in your head,'•
says Dr. Valdemar Gulens: .one
of 52 .County Citizens to
receive their papers from Judge
Fingland April 17,,
•
His philosophy is based on ex-
perience. A Latvian, he lost a
profitable "practice and all his
possessions in • the second world
war. Neither the Russians nor
• the Germans, -however, could
eonfiscate'his medidal knowledge
and he has used it to re-establish
his familyof seven in Canada,
• His wife, a doctor too, also
received • her papers last week.
o Now she's busy studying 'for
exams to get her licence to prac-
tice in. Canada. "

The -seven children, all of

Changed Hands Often
In 1940, the Russians took over
th Baltic state and then Ger-
many captured the country in
1941. -Three years later the Rus-
sians came back and confiscated
everything and the doctor and
his family found themselves dis-
placed persons in Southern Ger-
many at the end of the war.
The•doctor worked with United
Nations relief • and immigration
organizatiOns for,seven years.
During that timhe applied,
for permission to" go to either
Canada or the United States but
his family of seven 'presented
quite a handicap. Finally.in 1951,
his brother-in-law wrote from
Toronto with the necessary papers
and the Gulens ,family arrived
-in the spring. . .
in construction in the Aurora
area and then started his in-
terneship at St. Joseph's Hos-'
pital, London. The family moved
Lo Arkona.
After two, years as an interne
in London; Dr. Gulens, passed
his Canadian exams which en-
abled himto set up his own
practice. In' May,1953, he open-
ed up his office in Dashwood.
Language PrOblerns.
'
Dr. Gulens said the standard
of the medical profession in Can-
ada is similar to that of Latvia.
He found considerable diffic,ulty,
however, with the language. He
not only had to learn the funda-
inentals but thc medical terms
as, well.
He worked at the hospital dur-
ing the day and studied the lan-
guage in the eyenings.

even though they promised them-
selves 'last spring that they would
never go through all that rush
again next year—but here they
are again rushing, rushing and
rushing. •
This rush is for many reasons
—some want to be the first on
the land so they can boast about
it later, some want to beat their
next door neighbor because they
Must always be ahead of
some want* to try to heat the

Looking out .oethe windows a
few .minutes ago I could see
tractor lights still going up and
down the fields and I wondered
if this night work, after a real-
ly hard day, is worth the effort.
A full day's work is enough and
if we were meant to work 22
hours out of 24, then we would
have been provided with that
many daylight hours.

The reason for all .this hustle

weather, is to cat€11 up on them-
selves. This, sounds unbelievable,
but I am given to understand on
good authority, that if this isn't
done the seeding gets behind
somewhere along the line.
If it makes them all happy,
let them do it as long as the

help along their planning. Other

Difference in Outlook
'Dr. Wens sees quite a differ-

Canadians and.Latvians, "People
in Europe work pinch, much
harder then Canadians, and do
not complain about the small pro-
blems, like they do here." Cana-
dians, he said, are soinetimes
jealous when they find Euro-
peans buying houses and cars
only a few short years after they
arrive. "They forget the New
Canadian has worked long hours
(his wife too) and saved diligent-
ly to get established.
Europeans , do , not use credit
as, much as Canadians do. "We
don't like, to have to pay •inte-
rest." . .
"In Latvia, people don't place
as much value on material.things
as Canadians do. For example,
if a farmer knew his son could
go tO..university,- be 'would send
him without wondering how
much the ;boy' would bring back
to the farm. It's different here."

On Trade,
By CARL HEMINGWAY
Some 20 years ago I read a
called "The Wealth of Nations"
by Adam Smith and I am remin-
ded of the saying that there is
nothing new under the sun;
This book deals with the work-
ings of trade in society and the
writer used -a very simple inia-
ginary society.
In this world of Smith's there
were only three fariiilieS living
on an island which was quite
sihall yet, oddly enough, had op-
posite seasons at the opposite
ends. Let's call these families
Tom, Dick and Harry. *,
Toni lived in the north and was
busy growing his crops" and had
plenty to eat. Dick lived in the
middle so never had a really good
crop season but never had a
really bad winter so had a fairly
hard time the year around. Har-
ry ...was ,having winter in: .the
south and was busy Making clo-
thing for the year. He was living
on what he had produced the year
before and was hoping. it would
last until the next crop yeir.
Finally the three got together
and decided that none was haying
a really good living.Tom and
Harry had a good living for op-
posite*halyes. of the year and, bad
the other half due to storage pro-
blems. Dick in the middle, never
had it very good or very bad but
still not satisfactory. They de-
cided' that Dick should give up
farming and when Toni had -sum-
mer Digk,. would transport food
to Harry; on the return journey
he tookclothing. from. Harry to
Torn. Alt produce was divided
equally' among the three.
This arrangement worked very
well ontil:Dick- decided to keep
out a little extra when taking
food to Harry thereby inducing
Harry to provide more clothing
as payment. On the return jour-
ney Dick kept out extra clothing
for his family thereby inducing
Tom •t� supply more food for his
share of clothing. Soon Tom and
Harry' were having a hard time
while Dick the trader became
wealthy.
There teems* to be general
agreement that this trader is
still operating. Now Tom. is the
farmer ivhile• Harry is the fac-
tory worker and Dick is the hest
of business in between,

Turnip Sales
Show Gain
Shipments of table turnips
from Southwestern Ontario to
the United States have increased
by more than a quarter of
million bushels over exports for
the same period last year, re-
ports the turnip committee of
the Ontario Soil and Crop Im-
provement Association, Prices,
however, are lower than in prev-
ious years,
The committee felt that from
a nutritional standpoint, the de-
mand should continue to in-
crease as yellow turnips have
many favorable characteristics,
among which are a low calorie
Count, high mineral content and
a plentiful supply of vitamin C,
as well as an attractive color.
In addition they are coated with
wax to preservd freshness.
Trends in merchandising were
discussed by' the committee and
problems and methods of pro --
duction reviewed.
The committee elected the
fol-
lowing officers: immediate past
chairman, Harry Hossfield of
Walkerton; chairman, Ross Chap-
man nf Queensville; vice-chair-
man, Eric Lovey,s of Hickson;
secretary, R. E. ,Goodin of To-
