A place to stand; a place to
grow: Ontari-ari-ari-o.
In the past few weeks, Ontari-
ari-ari-o has also become a place
in which to cough, snort, sniffle,
sneeze and choke. In South-
western Ontario alone, half the
population looks as though it's
competing for Rudolph's job this
Christmas,
Ironically, one of the
unhealthiest places to be is in a
doctor's waiting room - a cough
here, a sneeze there and germs
float freely.
In one corner, yours truly dozes
between coughs and sniffles.
In another corner sits a middle-
aged man, whose red, watery
eyes appear to be half closed, I'll
bet his head feels twice its nor-
mal size and a buzzing sound in
his ears makes concentrating on
a conversation difficult. •
To his left is a teen-age girl
with an open book in one hand
and a kleenex in the other. A fit of
sneezing causes her to lose her
place. She wipes her nose, leafs
through the pages until she finds
the right one and then settles
back in her chair. In a few
minutes, another sneeze forces
her to abandon the book to search
in her purse for another tissue.
On a couch,a little girl lies with
her head on her mother's lap.
Each time she coughs her mother
whispers with a croaky voice,
"Put your hand over your
mouth."
In the corner next to the couch
slumps a young boy, whose
sudden spasms of coughing make
him rifle his pockets for lozenges.
Across the room, two ladies
converse about the wet weather
how long they've had their colds
and how many times they've seen
the doctor lately. One of them
pulls a heavy sweater tightly
around her shoulders, and says
she has been sick for three weeks.
The other dabs her flushed face
with a kleenex and says she's
been sick for a month, I don't
have the heart to tell them I've
had my cold for six weeks.
A third lady says nothing at all,
she has laryngitis.
One by one the patients are
called into the examining room to
cough for the doctor,
"Take deep breaths," he in-
structs. "That's it. Now cough."
Then comes the little wooden
stick and the command, "Say Ah-
h-h."
From the doctor's office to the
drug-store, we struggle with
Odds 'n Ends
prescriptions in hand. While
waiting for the drugs, we
replenish our stock of kleenex,
and thinking of our tender noses,
we buy the softest brand we can
find.
When we emerge, we're armed
with lozenges to sooth our sore
throats, tablets to unplug our
stuffy noses, vitamins to build up
our strength and cough syrup to
relieve the tickle in our throats.
Incidentally, I think the
makers of my cough syrup should
be sued for false advertising. The
label on the bottle describes the
contents as "a pleasantly
flavoured syrup for the tem-
porary relief of congestion and
cough due to the common cold."
It makes my tongue curl.
From the drug-store we retreat
to the warmth of our homes, our
blankets and our heating pads to
continue our battle against the
great Ontario 'cold.

Mrs. Induk Pak, founder of the
Berea School for boys in South
Korea, was guest speaker at
Christian Women's Club, Friday
morning.
A small, vibrant lady of 80, she
held her listeners spellbound as
she related her life story. Born of
aBuddhistmother and a Confucian
scholar father, who .died when
she was three, she told of their
great disappointment over the
fact that she was a girl instead of
a boy. She was born in the
Korean year of the rooster; in
September, the month of the
monkey, and under the sign of
the Tiger. She said her father
wondered what good could come
of this girl child . . . but he con-
ceded that "something was
better than nothing."
After his death, her mother
became a Christian and was
determined that her child should
receive an education hut at that
t 4
time schooling was only for boys
so she disguised the girl as a boy,
sent her to a boys school for two
years where none of the other
pupils ever caught on to the
ruse, "Being boys," Mrs. Pak
chuckled, "they, were too
dumb!"
The speaker related how
prayer after prayer was
answered as she continued on in
various schools until she finally
graduated from university.
Her dream was to open a
technical school for boys. "Peo-
ple ask me why when I had such
a hard time to get an education, I
didn't want a school for girls."
She explains that the mis-
sionaries from Canada and
America were by this time open-
ing many schools for girls but
there was no techincal schools
where boys could learn trades to
use their hands as well as their
heads. In the old days, she said,
the women did all the work and
earned the living waiting on the
men hand and foot. "Young men
needed to be taught that it was
good and honourable to use their
skills to earn their livelihood . .
they needed to be liberated!"
The school opened 30 years ago
with 30 boys. It now has 2,100
students and is equipped with the
best and most up to date equip-
ment. Mrs. Pak has also just
recently opened the first school
of design which is co-ed and
which is attended by 500
students.
She is a fervent Christian.
Knowing first hand about many
other religions she says they are
all "passive" but "Christianity
is a religion of action and of
love".
She is a woman of action and
love and although she is 80 she
still travels thousands and
thousands of miles every year on
speaking tours to raise money
for "her boys".
Her motto is, "God first,
others second, and self last." She
is a walking testimony to the
faith to which She adheres.
