The program is now in its final phase for this season. The plan, carried out during the school holidays for the past two years, has Involved bringing young pupils of Toronto area Schools to farms in Western On- ' tario, where they ure guests of farm pupils of similar age and their families. In turn, the fain) youths:return the visit to the city. While the announced objectives of the 'scheme have indicated breaking down of prejudice -and misunderstanding between city and country dwellers, the partici"- 9pants seem to think more in terms of the, personal friendships made in the interchanges, and of the enjoyment the visits make in both environments. Pupils . from the Toronto area interviewed by The Advance - Times in a series of photo stories during the past summer show most of the Toronto boys and girls enthusiastic about their new experiences and friendships on Wingham area farms. Some are not quite so enthusiastic, but none the less enjoyed their visits and would be glad to have an oppor- tunity to repeat the experience. In only a few instances were youngsters unhappy or homesick to the point of cutting their stay short. Without exception, parents of farm children in the Wingham area have declared their ex- perience with the visitors as "good" and have expressed their willingness to continue in the pro- gram if, it is carried on another year. Farm pupils who have been entertained in the city have en- joyed the time spent there, and it was expected„ this would be es- pecially true this week, when the final exchange of the summer is made and farm children from this area go to Toronto while the CNE is in progress. • Some of the city children have been so impressed with the quality of life on the farm, as opposed to city living, they have said they would not mind becom- ing farmers themselves. One To- ronto boy said he was quite ,ser}pus,abopt mal i>�ig., arming a career.. He .,cameo Japanese - Canadian ancestry, with a,back- ground of intensive farming and horticulture. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Fear of Wingham had a Scarborough boy, Mike Huxhold, visiting their son, Murray, last week, Mike is a pupil at Joseph Brant Senior Public School in Scarborough, He was busy in the Fear apiary when visited by Miss Fines and photo- grabpher, happily engaged in helping in the honey extracting operation. ” Although he had collected five bee stings in the course of a couple of • days he was not dis- couraged, or frightened by the bees and was enjoying himself thoroughly.

Dr. Norman Bethune, interna- tionally known for his medical work in Spain and, has been declared a Canadnof na- tional historic significance, Jean Chretien, Indian Affairs ' and Northern Development Minister, announced. Dr. Bethune, who was born in 1890 and died in 1939, pioneered the use of transfused blood on the battlefields. He was also an advo- cate of free universal health care. The recommendation for na- tional recognition came from the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, advisers to the Minister on matters of national historic importance. In the 10 years between his re- lease from a tuberculosis sanato: rium in 1928 and his death in China in 1939, Dr. Bethunees- tablished a reputation on three continents. In North America he was known as a leader in tuber- cular research and operative techniques; in Spain be es- tablished the first mobile blood service for the Loyalist forces; in China he built hospitals, trained nurses and doctors and treated the wounded. • In October 1939, Dr. 'Bethune had,agreed to return from China to become head of the transfusipp service for the Canadian Army. But fresh fighting in that country led him to postpone his trip.. In an operation he cut his finger and, without antibiotics or sulpha drugs, blood poisoning set in. 'On November 13, 1939, Dr. - Bethui, died a revered hero in China. There are imposing memorials to Dr. Bethune in North China, a . of Willowdale, who attehds Glen- view Senior Public School, was a guest for the week, and her play- ates on this occasion were Jo- ie and Cathy Bakelaar from a neighboring farm and the Coultes children, Alison. , Andrea, Joanne and Janice Mrs. Coultes, who has enter- tained two visitors each summer for the past two years was well pleased with the program and would also be satisfied to enter into it again. On the nearby farm of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Moore, Lee Wall, a 12 -year-old resident of downtown Toronto, was a guest of Nike Moore, his sister and parents, and while not . outspokenly en- thusiastic, was obviously enjoy- ing himself, especially while astride one of the ponies. Mrs. Moore approvecd of the program and indicated she had enjoyed the experience. Tuesday of this week was to see the final phase, when Wingham area children would bus to Toron- to. Dr. Bethune historic Bethune Museum and hospital named after him. During the recent cultural revolution in the People's Repub- lic of China, "In Memory of Nor- man Bethune", was one of three articles by Chairman Mao -Tse- tung distributed as recom- mended reading. There is little doubt the people of China have widely read, studied and often committed to memory those three short articles. As a conse- quence, (Norman Bethune is cer- tainly the best known foreigner in China and to the vast majority of 800 million Chinese, Canada is first and foremost the land of Norman Bethune. "It is fitting that the excep- figure tional humanitarian achieve- ments of Dr. Bethune, first in Spain and later in China, should now receive recognition in his native country", Mr. Chretien said. The Canadian commemoration is expected to be at Gravenhurst, Ontario, Dr. Bethune's birth- place. The Minister is expected to make a further announcement about the nature and form of the commemoration. Since its inception in 1949, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada recommenda- ,,tions have resulted in more than 600 plaques and monuments com- memorating persons, places and. events of national historic signifi- cance.
