Donald Raffan, a missionary for the past 14 years in Brazil was a guest at a Sunday evening barbeque at Exeter United Church. Following the meal he showed slides and spoke of life in Brazil. He said that poverty, health care and the exploitation by multi-national corporations were creating Brazil's main problems. He cited "Brascan" as a Canadian company that exploited -the resources of Brazil, "Brascan," he said, "was the second largest investor in the country. With an initial in- vestment of 8 million dollars in the country, the company began in the early 60's realizing 17 million dollars per year in profits. In the last 4 years however, profits have been 110 million per year." When Mr. Raffan was questioned later about whether the profits left the country, he quoted a May -76 copy of a Latin American publication which stated that Brascan had spent its Brazilian made profits buying controlling interests in such Canadian companies as Laura Secord, John Labatt Ltd. and Western Mines. Brascan makes its money by delivering elec- tricity in Brazil. He also cited an example of a European car manufacturing company. He stated that when the parent company ex- perienced financial difficulty, it was its Brazilian plant that got them back into financial By KATHY COOPER Mr. & Mrs. Bill Routly visited with Mrs. Mildred Crago in St. Marys, Tuesday and also at- tended a musical given by Niven Miller at the Presbyterian church in the evening. Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd Webber spent four days at Manitoulin Island at Elliott Lake on the Eastern shores of Michigan. Mrs. Dorothy Thompson of London visited recently with Mr. & Mrs. Bill Routly.

Several from this vicinity spent Saturday in Blyth, attending the Steam threshers reunion. solvency. The company pays its workers $150.00 per month in Brazil and sells its small cars for $4,000.00. This is higher than the retail price of the same car in Europe, Canada or the U.S. When asked about health care, Mr. Raffan said that it's still not uncommon to see lines of people in front of medical clinics. People have to wait, in some areas, even in emergency situations, 12 hours or longer to get treatment. He spoke of people lining up the night before and sleeping on the street in order to see the doctor the next day. Even then they could be told to come back the following day. The missionary said T.B. was still a major concern in the country. Because of the tropical climate, diseases are transmitted more easily, Heart, cancer and parasitic diseases are among the most common. In most centers the churches sponsor hospitals which he said are usually better staffed and better equipped than government hospitals. "Poverty is still the number one problem" he said. The minimum wage is $50.00 per month. Five pounds of rice is $4.00. A pound of beef about 75e and bread about 20c a loaf. "Wage and price controls," he said, "had not helped the pow," Their wages had been frozen, while prices continued to rise and big corporations tended to make even higher profits. There are unions, but strikes have been outlawed. He sees the only hope for higher wages in government legislation. When asked about a possible revolution, he said the threat was always present, but the real revolution came in 1964 when the present "dictatorship" took power. Things have been relatively stable since that time. There is, a kind of democracy — but the government may choose in an election to run two can- didates against one of the op- position party, The votes for government candidates may be totaled, thus making it very difficult for parties that oppose the government to gain power, The Rev, Mr. Raffan is the pastor of seven churches in an in- dustrial area 600 kilometers north of Reo. He expects to spend his entire ministry in Brazil and will retire there, He is married to Ina, a Brazilian. The Raffans have three children, Wesley, Roberto and Susanna. Mr. Raffan from Lindsay, Ontario, has been on a three month furlough in Canada and returns to Brazil September 27.
