Mrs. M. Gans is shown. with the replicas she and her husband purchased in Israel during their recent trip there. Israel, country of contrasts checked out again. The ladies were asked to open their purses in a supermarket in Jerusalem which had suffered severe 'damage from a time bomb last year. Mrs. Gans said when on the bus tours they encountered road blocks about every 20 or 30 miles. News • broadcasts play an important' past in the lives of the people. Every hour, on the hour `everyone' listens to the news. No telephone calls are made and conversation stops wherever you are to listen to the radio. Because of the security and the tension in the atmosphere, Mrs. Gans felt Israel was not the ideal country in which to holiday, but she stated, "when our children are older I would like them to go there and see this country which is steeped in history and fosters so many cultures." Dr. and Mrs. Gans also visited relatives in Holland before journeying to Israel.

Just a minute ago he was right there, but now he's gone. Where, where can he be? His father, who forever accuses me of misplacing things will be furious. He was such a delightful little fellow, too, with his happy grin and dimples. I didn't want to lose him. * We had had babies before him, but that was when we were inexperienced parents and in our ignorance we thought we should rush them out of babyhood. "Hurry, hurry, hurry," we told them. "Hurry and get weaned; hurry and be toilet trained; hurry and cut your teeth; hurry and walk; hurry to school; hurry and grow up., And they did as they were told, Looking back, we cried sadly; "They were never babies at all!'; But then, by some miraculous stroke of luck, we were given another baby. This time it would be different. We would keep this baby a `long time'. We would enjoy him and love him and cuddle him and not let him rush away from us. We were happy when he didn't cut his teeth until he was over a year old, and although friends and relatives fretted, it bothered us not a whit when he didn't even try to walk until he was 18 months. He was jolly and soft and trusting with an endearing elf-like quality that captivated us completely. We were enchanted with the sunlight glinting through the soft fuzz on his head, the drool that dripped from his chin when he laughed, his baby smell and coo-ing talk. We blew on his fat, bare belly and took huge pretend bites out of his neck to hear his deep, rolling laughter. Sometimes, we were almost annoyed with him when he pulled off our glasses and sent them skimming across the room, or if he woke us early in the morning when we were still drugged with sleep, and he was all set for fun. But our annoyance never lasted long for he knew the art of pulling at our heartstrings by nuzzling up and presenting a slobbery kiss. We were excited and happy to have him. But, now he's disappeared. * * * There's a ten year old reading over my shoulder who looks like he thinks I've gone daft. He's a big boy. Already the muscles of his shoulders, chest and back flex from climbing trees, wrestling and swimming. There's a ball glove in his hand and I've seen him nab a hit in ontfield with the finesse of a professional. There's a familiar look about him. THIS CAN'T BE THE BABY! Of course, not. He's too big. His eyes are too wise, and he says things like "hardly neat" and "sock it to me". The baby had clear, unblemished skin. The boy has scars from fights and tumbles. The baby didn't have teeth. This boy has a mouthful and proudly exhibits a silver one in front which replaces a permanent tooth left on the toboggan hills last winter. The baby was nearly bald. This boy has a mop of hair that hangs lankly over his eyes and must be cut in a 'certain way' to keep his `side burns' in tact. The baby loved to ride high on his father's shoulders. This lad gets out his dad's shaving equipment and after working up a powerful lather carefully scrapes it off with a dull kitchen knife to achieve a nice, smooth shave. No, this can't be the baby. Yet, there is a resemblance. The same twinkly brown eyes, the wide grin ... It is ... IT IS THE BABY! * * * That lovable, chubby little fellow has grown up and in his place he's left a 10 year old rascal who asks saucy questions like, "If you're as young as you say you are, how come your hair is so old?" and who never, never runs out of energy. Yes, we've lost the baby . . . and it's sad. But then, it's kind of nice having this banging, noisy, chirpy blatherskite around, too. COUNTRY BOY I think of all the lovely things That give one pride and joy, This one is of the finest.. A fresh-faced country boy. A boy whose character shines through A tanned and windblown face, And inner cleanness mingles With nature's native grace. A lad who knows reward of toil Yet raises eyes from sod To heights beyond, and clearly sees Dreams sent to him from God. — Ethel Stone What a Pair of Hands Can Do, the book about Herbert Neills struggles to establish the Huron County Museum, and written by Eva Sommerville, is now available in the local library. Dr. & Mrs. M. Gans returned last weekend from the Eighth World Congress of the Israel Medical Association in Jerusalem, Haifa arid Tel Aviv, which was attended by 1,500 Jewish doctors from all over the world including 60 Canadian doctors. President Golda Meir, a much respected figure in Israeli politics addressed the Congress at the opening session. Besides attending the Medical Congress, the doctor and his wife toured the country which has been developed amazingly since the last world war. Mrs. Gans, who talked to the T.A. about the trip said the contrast between old cities like Jerusalem and the new metropolis of Tel Aviv is fantastic. She said, "Tel Aviv is a thoroughly modern place . . where the mini skirts are like postage stamps .. . and hospitals are equipped second to none!" On the other hand, archeology diggings are constantly uncovering ruins of ancient cities and sites thousands of years old. , The doctors and their wives arrived in Israel to find it in the grip of the worst heat wave in 43 years. The highest temperature recorded was in Tel Aviv at 115 degrees. However, Mrs. Gans, reported, because of the lack of humidity it wasn't terribly uncomfortable. The average summer temperature is about 85 degrees. With about 300 days of sunshine each year, solar heat is used to warm water in tanks on the roofs of all the buildings which is then pumped into heating systems . . . thus saving electricity. TheT-A asked Mrs. Gans what impressed her most about the country and she replied, "The spirit of the people . . . and what they have accomplished in such a short time." Sand has been scraped off former arid places down to the top soil, the land irrigated and produces three or four crops each year. Without irrigation only one crop could be harvested. "I don't know how these people are able to accept their way of life . . . the constant danger of ambushes, border scrimages and killings." Despite this, she said, the people seem happy and confident. All young people, male and female, must join the army, and there is little time for protests and demonstrations. Everyone's energies are pressed toward improving the country. Mrs. Gans reported she and her husband saw no evidence of i bitterness between the Arabs and Jews who live in Israel. "The hard feelings are directed toward other governments, heads of governments and the big oil concerns.' One of the highlights of their stay was being entertained by a Christian Arab, He told them he was a third generation Arab living in Israel and it was the only country he'd call home. Pearl Gans told of visiting the monument built in memory of the 6,000,000 Jews who died in concentration camps during the '40's. She said it was a moving, but sad experience. The empty Arab villages standing like ghost towns, was a depressing sight, too, she recounted. Many Arabs fled during the six day war . . some have returned but most are afraid to. She told the T-A many items in stores are expensive. A television costs around $1,500.00 and a refrigerator is about $900.00. Security measures are very tight. Before boarding the plane in Amsterdam for Israel the visiting doctors and wives had all their luggage and hand bags checked. After landing, it was Phone 235-0212 Open Friday Nights Until Nine At the recent. Kiwanis Music Festival in London, Patricia Cannon, daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Peter Connon, Huron Park, was successful in receiving several awards. She won second in the folk song division for voices under 19 years; third, for mezzo soprano solo under 21 years and under, and third for girls solo 20 years and under. Miss Connon was also featured soloist in 'Let the Sunshine In', the annual musical review presented at Mount Saint Joseph Academy last month. CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY Mr. & Mrs. William Stephen, Woodham, who celebrated their Wedding anniversary recently held a family dinner, May 24.

The following evening, neighbours gathered to present Mr. & Mrs. Stephen with a gift. A social evening was spent playing euchre. Mrs. Lorne Oke attended the convocation for her son-in-law, Franklin C. Bryans, at the University of Western Ontario recently.
