Bess Fingland talks to seniors
On Wednesday evening,
May 17 at the Clinton Town
Hall, 50 members of the
Golden Radars senior citizens
club enjoyed a talk by Mrs.
Bess Fingland regarding her
recent trip to the Orient.
Her itinerary included a
departure flight from New
York; refueling in
Anchorage, Alaska; a flight
to Tokyo, Japan, then to
Seoul, South Korea; on to
Taiwan; to Hong Kong. She
then flew back to Tokyo for a
flight to Honolulu, Hawaii and
then home to Toronto.
Mrs. Fingland explained
some of the histories of the
countries she visited. She also
told of the beautiful scenery
and the appearance and the
personalities of the Japanese,
Koreans and the Chinese;
their diets, the staples being
fish and rice and their
religions, Shintoism in Japan
which is the worship of all
nature, along with Buddhism
and Confucianism. She found
evidence of the Christian
religion in the areas she
visited.
Mrs. Fingland told the
group that she saw the
memorial at Pearl Harbour,
Hawaii and found it hard to
correlate the kindness and
politeness of the Japanese
people in their homeland with
the savagery of this attack.
She has a warm feeling for
South Korea as Judge
Fingland's sister and brother-
in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Pat
Grierson spent many .years
there, he as a doctor and his
wife as a missionary.
Leona Lockhart thanked
Mrs. Fingland for her
travelogue and presented her
with a lovely African Violet
as a token of appreciation.

and Lorna Radford on the
piano entertained with some
old familiar tunes and also
