"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.

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. Irriliril ii i llllllll lllll I lllllllll llllll #111 lll • , ,Down To Earth By D. I.

I Difference in Outlook 'Dr. Wens sees quite a differ- ence in the way of life • between 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."

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, Hilton, Perth, Middleiex County Sugar.

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.
