Michael and Samuel Allotey are Via, the capital city o4 0011101,lin Africa. They had join- ed J41#11 McCarroll, physical .dash consultant and public t% officer from Huron - Perth ROSS Board on his recent 'tit to Sacred Heart School in am to teach the senior elms the fundamentals of Creative Dance. Mr. McCarroll proceeded from the known to the unknown as the girls displayed their skills in folk dancing. The visitors experienc- ed initially the sequences of an English dance entitled "Green - sleeves". John McCarroll pol- ished up the style of each move- ment by running through all the basic steps in a "dry run" pro- cedure with the thought in mind that their visitors could become part of this presentation. In no time at all, Michael, Samuel and John McCarroll joined in with the class to bridge the generation, cultural, and racial gaps that originally were evidentbetween a Grade 8 class and their visitors from another continent. Later, familiar tunes were re- called and as each participant moved with the stimulating beats of various musical pieces, all moved in their own individual style shedding the formal ap- proach. Truly, a communication that ignored different dialects, languages, and cultures was at- tained. Michael anis Samuel mov- ed around the gymnasium re- vealing with the gathered stu- dents that music has no barriers, 01111,14 but rather it offers a warm feel- ing of unity. It projects t hu- manity approach that God has created us all as equal. How did Michael and Samuel leave their African environment and find themselves sharing in the learning process of -a Can- adian school atmosphere? They are guests of Miss Margaret Whyte of RR 2, Seaforth. In 1972, Margie had spent some time with the Negrito tribesmen of the Northern. Philippines. She had volunteered to take time from her life to join Canadian Crossroads International to -fost- er international co-operation and intercultural understanding be- tween natives of Africa, Asia, the West Indies, and South America in close person-to-person rela- tionships in globular develop- ment with Canadians. As Margie had to travel and learn to understand, to bridge, to accept challenges, to submit to changes and to . respond to cultures and life styles so dif- ferent from her own, Michael and Samuel reciprocated by travelling to Canada and are being presently exposed to our Canadian culture and mode of life. Michael's background in education consists of an ele- mentary education and five years of study in the sciences, of physics and chemistry, ele- mentary maths, biology, gee- ti graphy and English language. Michael is from a family of 15 children. His father has two wives, which is an accepted custom. Michael's hobbies are driving, travelling, and music. He has worked with his father at his THIS IS THE WORLD OF CARE: Providing nutritious food for school children and pre-schoolers, health ser- vices for the sick and handicapped, facilities and equipment for basic schooling and technical training, tools' and equirp- ment for community en- deavours.

He is 23 and has ambition to better his grades to enter university and study engineering. Samuel, who was born in 1944 in Accra, with a population of about three million, comes from a family of 18 children. After elementary education, Samuel attended a technical school for one and a half years. Later, he took a private course under some trained engineers. He received the bulk of his education in a practical way by spending a great deal of time with an elec- trical contractor. They built and wired a hotel. In 1967, Samuel changed his career to become a produce examiner. His duty was to prohibit the exportation of in- ferior cocoa to the world market. Because cocoa is their backbone agricultural product in Ghana, they mustmaintain the quality of standard to help their beloved -country. Samuel is interested in the arts as he often attends the arts centre "Anansekrom" for shows. His plan now is to be an electrical engineer and to get ado own workshop. Samuel's hobbiii are horse riding, travelling, and Bible reading. Although Michael and Samuel are of different families, dialects, religions, and futures they do have something in common . they both possess generous smiles and really do communi- cate. Both will assist Margie at Camp Menesetung near Goderich, a project pf the Huron - Perth Presbytery of the United Church of Canada. This camp is open to all religions beginning with a co-ed camp July 14-21 for 12-15 year olds. Junior girls, July 21-28, ages 11-12. Parents without partners, July 28 -Aug. 2. Junior girls, Aug. 4-11, 9-10 year olds, and finally junior boys, Aug. 11- 18, 9-12 years. Michael and Samuel will return to Ghana in September, leaving their imprints on many a Canadian, leaving them with more tolerance, understanding, and acceptance that we are merely God's creature no matter our heritage. MICHAEL DZANDA and Samuel Allotey, accompanied by Margie Whyte of Seaforth, visited Sacred Heart School in Wingham recently to assist in a folk dancing program. The young men are natives of Ghana, Africa. Dinner, reception mark retirement (Continued from page 1) when that institution was a small struggling effort, lacking the large-scale grants which are to- day a part of every hospital's fin- ancial support. In those days the hospital was simply a converted private residence and lacked even adequate space for patients and equipment. Before coming to Wingham Mrs. Morrey was en- gaged in the capacity of instruct- or with the Red Cross in London and was persuaded by the chair- man of the Wingham board, R. H. Lloyd, to accept the post of lady superintendent of our smalltown hospital New Program Shortly after her arrival Mrs. Morrey faced up to the need for more help in the nursing depart- ment and in the same year that she arrived, 1942, set up a train- ing school for nursing assistants. The training school has been con- tinued and enlarged right up to the present time and has graduated hundreds of capable nursing assistants over the years. In fact, during the years of the war and in more recent times when 'registered nurses were ex- tremely scarce, the local hospital was enabled to continue its ser- vices largely because of the wide range of clinics are now held, each in charge of a specialist. The erection of a new building for the nursing assis- tants' training program has provided the facilities for one of the most efficient schools of its kind in the province. The speaker emphasized that despite the heavy load of re- sponsibility carried by Mrs. Mor- rey over the years — as head nurse, business administrator and often emergency operating room nurse — she never lost her ' touch with the people who worked under and with her nor with the community of which she had be- come such a vital part. In more recent years she also found the `time to complete several courses in advanced hospital administra- tion, graduating from the Uni- versity of Manitoba with her de- gree in the administration course. She has also been named a member of the American Col- lege of Hospital Administrators and the American Academy of Medical Administrators. She is, too, . a member of the Canadian College of Health Service 'Execu- tives and is a past president of the Iiospital Administrators' Section of District Two, Ontario Hospital Association. Mr. Strong concluded his ad- dress by proposing a toast to the honored guest. Reply Mrs. Morrey devoted the major portion ,of her response to her memories of the many people who had worked with her over the years — the faithful staff mem- . hers who gave little or no thought to the long hours they spent in pa- tient care, the doctors, without whom the hospital could have achieved any notable suc- cess, the board members who had . struggled so valiantly to raise money for the successive additions and the purchase of equipment and to the people of the community at large. who had always supported the effort to provide the best of health care. The chairman read a letter of congratulations and good° wishes from Stanley W. Martin, deputy minister of health for Ontario. J. V. Fisher,' veteran board mem- ber, expressed the thanks and good wishes of that body and pre- sented a lawn fountain, wrought iron chairs and twin flower con- tainers. Mrs. L. Statia and Miss Fannybelle Weir presented a beautiful clock on behalf of the staff. R. B. Cousins addressed Mrs. Morrey and unveiled a photo -portrait of the retiring ad- ministrator, which will be placed in the hospital. Mr. Cousips was assisted. in this presentation by Willie Vanderwoude. Following the gathering at the Legion a public reception was held. at ..the .hospital .4r ini»g, , school, when many people from the entire area dropped in to ex- tend their good wishes to Mrs. Morrey.

Energy board hears hydro proposal for rate increase Fuel prices will increase drastically during the next five years, Ontario Hydro told the On- tario Energy Board in Toronto last week. Tablingits five-year financial forecast with the Board, Hydro predicted that the price of oil will increase 111' 250 per cent, coal by • 125 per cent, .gas by 175 per cent and uranium by 25 per cent. • The Board was told by Hydro •that in order to recover costs, yearly increases in revenue rates in the order of 10 to 16 per, cent are required in the 1975-79' period. Hydro is presently appearing be- fore the Board for a review of its rate proposal which would result in e15,per cent increase for 1975 of wholesale or bulk power rates to municipal utilities. "Hydro's proposal for rate in- creases comes at a time when the whole industrial world is caught in the grip of tremendous infla- tionary pressures from . which Ontario Hydro cannot isolate it- self," Hydro counsel Pierre Genest told the Board. "Hydro also continues to be faced with the need to build and finance sal stantial additions to its facilities in order to meet the increasing needs of Ontario for electrical energy," he said. The financial forecast predicts that Hydro's borrowing require- ments will exceed $8 -billion be- tween 1974$nd 1979 and that capi- tal expenditures by the provincial utility will total more than $9 -bil- lion during the same period. The forecast also predicts" that man- power rates will increase by 75 per cent by 1979. More than 54 Hydro witnesses are expected to appear before the Energy Board for examination during the next 8-10 weeks as the Board reviews Hydro's opera- tions and the need for a rate in- crease in 1975. Twenty-two companies, as - sociations, utilities and individ- uals have formally filed their in- tent to intervene in the hearings. Hydro witnesses will be subject to cross-examination by the Energy Board's counsel and each of the intervenors or their legal counsel. Earlier this year, Hydro ap- peared before the Board to pre- sent its proposed 1974-82 system expansion program which has been estimated to cost more than 316 -billion.. Cook vgetables ..to retain 'cetiat4.-? and food value Although adding soda to the cooking water of green vege- tables intensifies their color, it destroys Vitamin C, produces a bitter flavor and. a mushy, tex- ture. For this reason, soda should not be used, accOrding to food specialists at the Ontario Food k, Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Instead,' they suggest you follow cooking methods which retain both color and food value. The green pigment, chloro- phyll, which gives vegetables their green color, is found just below the surface. What happens upon heating is that acids are re- leased whieh attack the chloro- phyll. (ince the vegetable turns an unpleasant color, nothing can be done to restore the bright green. Adding soda to the cooking water has been a favorite trick to neutralize the acids that wonld normally affect the chlorophyll. Soda does preserve thecolor, but it also destroys the vitamin C which means that you are sacri; ficing food value.
