Mr. Dingman was in Vietnam, both South and North, last sum- mer, where he went to ascertain for the Friends' Service Com- mittee whether hospital and re- lief supplies being sent were what was needed, and whether they were arriving. The Com- mittee sends supplies to North Vietnam, South Vietnam and the National Liberation Front. Mr. Dingman pointed out that Vietnam has been ruled in turn by the Chinese, the French, the Japanese (during the war) and many Vietnamese regard the present effort of the USA as one more attempt to conquer them, The USA, on the other hand, believes that it is fighting against the spread of communism in South east Asia.

A "lazy dog" bomb (de-fused) was shown by Mr. Dingman. It is about the size of a small baseball; a container with 300 of these metal balls is dropped, and, on contact, each ball throws out hundred of pieces of jagged metal which tear into anyone within range. When the USA Air Force sets out to bomb, ten 1352 aircraft, each with eight jet en- gines, (a larger airplane than any ordinary commercial planes) go out in formation, each carry- ing 375,000 pounds of high ex- plosive. Napalm gas and white phosphorus are used to burn human flesh, and other chemicals to defoliate the countryside, "the scorched earth policy."

Mr. Dingman had pic- tures of children burned by nap- alm. What is Canada's role? The Canadian government has re- fused to send military personnel to fight in Vietnam. It feels that its position as one of the three members of the Inter- national Control Commission de- mands a fence-sitting position. The United Church of Canada, however, feels it should take a stand against the war. Its views are set out in a pamphlet "Viet- When the party's over a Cascade 40 electric water heater can have its finest hour Cathy's Beauty Lounge 244 Main S.

Miss Myrtle Ninham, director of nurses, presented Mrs. Hooper with a silver tea service and Miss Alice Claypole, hospital administrator, presented Mrs. Colter with a record player on behalf of the staff. The evening was spent in games and contests. The discovery of maple prod- ucts was presumably made by the Indians long before the white man came to the New World. French priests reported that, as early as 1673, Indians were mak- ing maple sugar. The first auth- entic commercial production of maple products was in 1706 and a small quantity was transported to Montreal for sale in 1711. The Indians used "the sweet water" in cooking. It is said that an Indian squaw accidentally discovered the wonderful flavor of maple syrup when she boiled down the sweet fluid with a cut of meat. In the early days, the Indians collected the sap in bark troughs or moose-skin vats. The settlers used iron or copper kettles to boil down the sap and, as it became syrupy, more sap was added. The syrup was dark in color, strong and smoky in flav- or and contained many impur- ities. Many people still believe that pure maple syrup must be dark in color and strong in flav- or. This is not so, for today, the pure, high quality maple syrup produced by modern methods is light amber in color and free of a carmel or smoky flavor. To the early settlers, maple sugar was a necessity rather than a luxury since cane sugar was expensive and difficult to obtain. For many years, the farmer produced only enough to supply the needs of his family. Over the years, increased pro- duction costs and higher wages resulted in a decline in the maple industry. However, with a con- stant demand for maple products, the older methods have given way to new. Nowadays modern equip- ment and sanitary methods of handling the collection of sap direct from the trees to a central vat through plastic tubing is re- volutionizing the industry. Better yields and better quality syrup is being produced with less labor required.
