Mrs. Robinson estimated that it would take approximately one hour for each necklace which Any craft needs an outlet, a reason for the time and effort spent in preparing, making and displaying the objects you make, but, one group of women and young girls in Exeter are really putting their creative talents to work. In their case the cause came first. Hearing about the work of Brother Bob Mittelholtz, a for- mer Zurich resident who has been a Jesuit missionary in India for thirteen years, this small group of dedicated people decided they would like to do something to help his cause. Twelve local residents, in- cluding seven women and five girls, of all denominations, have combined efforts to make love beads and strings of pearls crocheted together to raise money to send to Brother Bob in India. Brother Bob, who first visited India as a prefect in a boys school became concerned over the deplorable conditions of the poor and destitute in that country. He returned to India as a missionary and is now in charge of the care of approximately 800 lepers as well as tubercular patients, aban- doned children and the dying destitute of a small region in south west India. Mrs. Glenn Robinson became interested in the cause of Brother Bob when they sent money to his mission to build a home for children after the death of their oldest son Paul. When they were told how much their moneycould provide for Indian children at Paul's House, Mrs. Robinson told members of her group. They decided to contribute something to his mission and chose bead work as a means of raising money.

When faced with an opportunity to contribute to a worthwhile cause, he can't spare the time or the money. Someone else must remedy the plight of his com- munity and of the world. Another person maintains, "With common sense, we can solve many of man's troubles. Each of us can help to handle the energy crisis, to abolish pollution and to improve our health." Then he drivesto the corner store for a pack of cigarettes. A paradox is exemplified by a citizen who demands though law enforcement. When he receives a traffic ticket, however, he feels the fine is exorbitant. A paradox often arises during a discussion of soaring food prices. Naturally the consumers worry about the high cost of milk, an essential nutrient As he puffs on a cigarette one father exclaims, "Milk costs almost as much as beer!" A pardox is demonstrated by an individual who claims he believes all people are equal. Nationality, religion, and. colour of skin make no difference to him, until a black family, a Japanese family or a Jewish family moves into his neigh- bourhood. A paradox is encountered every day in our lives. After dinner, as we relax in our cosy living rooms, we watch the TV films about the starving natives in Africa, India and other parts of the world. An uncomfortable twinge stabs us. Is it sympathy or guilt, or is it merely the puzzlement caused by another paradox.? A paradox is a contradictory statement or situation. Sometimes it resembles a riddle. A paradox involves a self- proclaimed Christian who leaves Christianity inside the church. Each Sunday, he praises the Lord, but on Monday he cheats on his wife, defrauds a business associate or steals from a customer. A paradox means a woman who begs, "Have mercy on us, Lord." She wears a coat of soft fur from some timid creature which was created by God but was brutally destroyed by man. A pardox is a man who prays for peace, then argues with his neighbour over a foot of land. Sometimes a paradox results from a demonstration for peace. A sign carried by a marcher advises "Make Love Not War," Before the march concludes, the poster may be smashed over a policeman's head. Behind the badge, isn't the policeman a fellow human being? Another paradox is often found in a noisy room where a group of parents gather.Each person holds a wine glass in his or her hand. While they share their "social" drinks, they compare the problems they encounter with their children. "Those crazy kids! We never know what they're up to. We can't do a thing with them." Meanwhile the teenager complains, "My parents just don't understand, and they won't listen to me." She utters a paradox when she adds, "I don't care what they say, anyway." A paradox occurs' when an individual declares, "The world is in a mesy Someone should do something:' He names the problems, inflation, unem- Edna Passmore, Exeter, 85 on November 1. ...If PER SHOPS' IER BARGAINS flit 71 ifif iruarr, 1:1131,177 •"",.. 3M131,1.
