TEACHER ENJOYING
EUROPEAN TOUR
The following letter was written
on August 14 by Mrs. M, Chopin,
of the *Ingham District High
School staff, who has been touring
Europe this summer. Readers will.
be interested in her description of
various cities in Italy:
After a day of bus travel, through
the Brenner Pass and the Dolo-
mites, we crossed a stretch of plain
and were ready • for Venice, Ped-
dlers were iurrounding us with
cards, booklets, Straw hats, oran-
ges': We wished to buy oranges but
our, hand 'luggage would have dis-
appeared, and we' had viskins of
being in one gondola and our par-
cels in another-. However, our
husky boatmen managed to sort us
and our possessions into several
'boats and we arrived at our hotel,
Although the canals were not as
romantic as travel folders would
have us believe, a gondola party
with opera and accordion left us
feeling that only there would there
be such a 16th century atmosphere
in a bustling Europe.
As in Trafalgar Square; St.
Mark's Square was full of fat, over-
fed pigeons. Incidentally, _I was
scolded by a Venetian woman for
petting a tiger-striped cat. Appar-
ently, it had decided to have a pig-
eon for lunch.
Rome is a fascinating city of old-
world charm stretching out into
streets of modern apartments and
hillside -villas. No one, seems to be
in a hurry, especially the waiters
in the hotels.
We left our tour party and tra-
velled south as far as Sorrento
Grapes and more grapes! Terraces
of grapes vines to the tops of
mountains! Ripe figs and green
olives! A little donkey and a big
horse pulling a load of tomatoes!
Women carrying baskets on their
heads! -
While coming by train from
Naples to Rome, we had to order
dinner from an Italian menu. With
our very limited knowledge of Ital-
ian (especially food) we thought we
were going to be limited to 'spag-
hetti and strong coffee. However,
all the people in our dining-car
were served the same menu, We
had spaghetti, of course. We have
tried to wrap our forks with spag-
hetti, Italian fashion, but, as yet,
we haven't been able to see whether
he winds it clockwise or counter
clockwise.
The sudden appearance of a bee
in the diner was much More sde-
cessful than the U.N. in getting
our various groups in united action,
We .are so busy trying to see
things that we have little time to
write letters, so perhaps my friends
will see by this letter that my in-
tentions are good,

though they stress, there is no
cause for„,..alarm.
There have been 6$ confirmed
cases: or rabiCs in. Durham and
Ontario' counties, the Health of
Animals branch of the Federal
Department of Agriculture disclos-
ed. These eases have been 'found
chiefly in the northern townships
of. Ontario county and the western
townships of. Durham county. No.
rabies have been reported within
the city of Oshawa, the closed case
having been recorded at Tyrone.
The majority Of animals infected
were foxes.. The health of animals

These figtres bear out the in,
formation given by several Pamph-
lets on rabies control which state
that foxes are the chief carriers of
the disease, Authorities agree that
the fox p*Opulation of Ontario and
Durham Counties has increaSed
considerably within the past few
yeaT.
Dr. Ted Watt, • Oshawa Public
Health Department Veterinarian,
said that the greatest danger of
the sPerad of rabies in the com-
munity is through dogs, "Rabid
foxes will attack a clOg and a dog
wilif normally 'attack any fox" he
said, "When one dog in a com-
munity is infected, the disease can
spread rapidly, unless proper pm-
cautions have been taken,"
He said that until a successful
method of controlling rabies •in
wild life has been found, the only
way:,to combat the disease is to

Last 'Week the first concrete dis-
cUssions were held on the question
of a swimming pool for the town of
Wingham,,, We can already hear the
groans arising at the thought of an-
other large-scale expenditure to be
born by the people of this town and.
district.
Nevertheless it begins to . appear
likely that the expressions of approv-
al will far outweigh the more pessi-
mistic utterances, If ever a com-
munity had realistic proof of a great
need, Wingham - has seen lots of it
. in the form of three drowning's
in fourteen months.
It may be contended, of course,
that the constrAction of a pool will
not in any Way lessen the danger of
the river area in Which we live, It is
true that the river will still be there,
but two of the three. drownings took
place when young people were swim-
ming during the hot weather. If a
proper pool had been available it is
altogether likely, that the bathers
would have been using- it. t
Singe the last drowning a few
weeks ago we have heard dozens of
people in town expressing the opin-
ion that action must be taken at
once to provide a proper swimming

IN THE -NAME OF
CANADA
To many thousands of needy
-.children in the dark corners of the
world, Canada is a fairy godmother
whose magic wand has ..produced
everything from milk and warm
clothing to the love and care of de-
voted foster parents.
In 13 years, nearly 7 million
pounds of vital relief supplies have
been channeled through the Unitar-
ian Service Committee into the
empty hands Of starving children
and desperate .adults. And every
ounce of it has- been distributed. in
the name of Canada.
To continue this heart-warming
work; the USC will launch its four-
teenth appeal for funds on' Septem-
m.er 8th. "The objective is $200,000H
the highest ever set, to be--raised by
Christmas Day.
The money will be used to
finance some 50 projects in eleven
countries in Asia and 'Europe with
the largest amount still earmarked
for Korea, to help the most helpless.
of all war victims, the orphans. _ The
care of these many children must ex-
fend beyond their basic needs for
shelter, food and clothing, to include
rehabilitation through education and
vocational training.

The drowning on 'Raster Sunday
provided the impetus for the raising
of a fund through the columns of
this newspaper which eventually
totalled something over$800.00, to
be spent for the protection of the
residents of this area against water
hazards, Of that fund approximate-
ly $750.00 still remains, Though the
decision is not ours to make, we can
suggest no better way to employ the
money than in the constrUction ,of a
safe, properly supervised swimming
pool.
If a pool is to becomesreality
here a start should be made at once.
Surely we don't need any more re-
minders in the grim form in which
they have already been handed to us.
At the foot of this column you
will find ,a form in which you can in-
dicate your interest in this venture.
It would 'be most helpful to the
water safety committee if you would
answer the questions and • mail the
form to The Advanceaini,es at once.
There is no desire to _bulldoze. the
residents of this area into an, ex-
penditure they do not favor and
your opinion will be highly valued,

Claim the lives of thousands of
mothers and babies each year: ,
One of the most urgent work
programs is the despatch of 25,000

tions 'for Arab -refugee, babies this
year. Layettes consist of 4 diapers,
2 baby vests, 2 nightgowns and 2
jackets; outgrown but not outworn,
or made lip frdm material around
the house; 1 towel, .1 cake of soap
and• 4 safety pins. The "Pullover
Parade", organized to send 25,000

to shivering Korean orphans, also
needs enthusiastic volunteers. Grey
wool can be obtained by writing to
the • Unitarian Service Committee,
78 Sparks Street, Ottawa 4.
Every garment an d every dollar's
worth of aid is distributed in the
.area of greatest need; regardless of
creed or nationality.

ova, USC executive director, under-
takes a world tour to ensure efficient
,adminisaration of ..2,11 USC projects

Man need' at grass roots level.
"This year I saw progress every-
where, even in suffering Korea," she
reports. "But the ,need is still des-
perate. It is absolutely essential
that this vital Canadian relief and
rehabilitation progrm continue."
In an uncertain world where
goodwill, understanding and friend-
ship between nations is the very
basis for world peace, Canadians are
fortunate to have this unique non-
denominational organization as their
ambassador to serve in areas of
greatest need. The forthcoming
appeal of the Unitarian Service Com-
mittee is -warmly endorsed by' the
Prime Minister of Canada.
To build a happier to-morrow for
all the world's children, the USC
needs and deserves the support of
thinking Citizens everywhere.
