Page 6 Times-Advocate, November 3, 1977 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. ,.741"7'"" BY ELAINE TOWNSHEND The great Ontario cold • not just high interest on savings • not just lowered interest on mortgages • but 16 individual money services that are custom built to satisfy most peoples' needs. • All available at Victoria and Grey Trust Come see us today at Victoria and Grey We don't serve dragon Your meal is only minutes away • CHICKEN • SEAFOOD • SALADS but we serve it hot ...

Photo by John Dobbs 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. scorns Leather Tack Shop Riding Equipment and Apparel Lee Jeans, Denim Jackets & Overalls Western Boots, Hats, Leather Belts, Wallets ,& Handbags 120 SANDERS ST.
