EXETER "FAST SERVICE" Eileen receives meritorious award for dedicated work Eileen Beauchemin, R.R. 2, Goderich was honored at the recent annual general meeting of the Huron -Perth counties held in the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Stratford. Beauchemin was presented with the Ow tario Lung Association Meritorious Award for her dedicated work as a Huron -Perth Board member for the past seven years. She moved to Goderich from London in 1974 and has been involved in various volunteer programs in the community including Maitland Manor, St. John Ambulance and Little Theatre. The guest speaker at the dinner was Anna Wissing, Clinical Specialist in the Cardio - Pulmonary Service at St. Joseph's Hospital, London, Wissing outlined the program -at the hospital for patients with Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease. The patients live at borne and are taught how to use oxygen equipment and how to exercise properly in order to cope with everday life. Holidays are organized for them as a group and Wissing says their quality of life improves just by knowing that somebody really cares. David Wall, president of the Huron -Perth Lung Association outlined the work of the Association during the past year indicating that health education had been carried out in area schools and that research into Lung Disease continues at the Provincial level. He also thanked volunteers for their valuable contribution in the past year. The Christmas Seal campaign grossed $66,673, an increase oyer last year but the Associa- tion is still in a deficit position and it is hoped that the present Spring camdaign will bring in substantial additional funding. Three new Board members from Strat- ford were nominated but new members from Huron County are still needed. Eileen Beauchemin Student forns committee to prepare trip t�Haiti for people BY SUSAN HUNDERTMARK When she returned from her first ex- perience with third world poverty in Haiti in March, Mia Dalton vowed she would return to the island country in the Carribean. After two public meetings in Goderich last Fri- day, the Grade 11 student of' Goderich District Collegiate Institute may be taking 10 to 15 Goderich adults and students with her. Though plans for a return trip are still in the planning stages, a committee `has form- ed to look into the possibility. She said she hopes to form her own group of Goderich people since only four people could be guaranteed spaces with Haitian Ex- . perience, the group from St. Martin's High School in Mississauga who arranged her. first trip. As well, she plans to organize a social awareness group for Huron County which would send containers of clothes and food to Haiti and discuss the problems in third world countries. "The biggest problem in Haiti is educa- tion. The only way they can learn is by ex- ample if people are willing to go there, put their fingers in the dirt and show them," John Esvelt told more than 80 students of G.D.C.I. at one of the public meetings • on Friday. Esvelt was one of a group of four students and one teacher from the Toronto area who visited Haiti with Dalton and added their stories to the slide presentations on . the poverty in Haiti. "The whole point of the trip is to understand how 75 per cent of the world lives," he said. Before he travelled to Haiti, Esvelt said FEATURE REPORT people in third world countries were not real to him. "They became pictures on the wall of cute kids with bloated stomachs. And it seemed that people just wanted to write them off with a • cheque book. I wanted to see if . the people were real and when I went, Haiti stopped being just a country where people lived in poverty." Another student, Chris McGavin said his most memorable experience about the trip was his visit to the Home of the Dying. "I sat beside a man who was dying. He had urine all over him and was repulsive but I fed him. He couldn't speak English or' French but could speak a little Creole. He told me he was so happy I was there with him, he started crying." "I. want to go back again just to sit with that man," he said. Steve Caston composed a song expressing his initial feeling of helplessness when he first experienced the poverty as well as ex- plaining the feeling that there is something he can do to help. "A man lies dying smiling through his pain because he's finally going to escape -a helpless victim of you and me. But, the answers are in the children standing at my feet. The answers are in the children 'cos they're climbing bit by bit," said the lyrics. MANUFACTURER'S VALUE REBATE OFFER!

"It doesn't hit you until you get back. I was in a,$hopping mall and all of a sudden I wondered if the food was safe," he said. In Haiti, the people drink from the same rivers where garbage and sewage is dumped. The mist rising off the river is methane gas. "Watching pictures of Ethiopia on TV, I couldn't understand it. But, 1 saw Yb screaming babies in one hospital with scabs, rat bites and brain damage from malnutri- tion. One baby was so bad, the doctors and nurses were hoping it would die. You can't feel that at home watching TV," he said. Teacher Nancy Mortens said her trip to Haiti was an emotionally and physically draining experience but she will be going back to the country in the summer. "I was most impressed by the one priest who took care of 150 homeless boys. I saw little dirty children with no clothes on and nothing to eat," she said. In a country with a population of six million, one million of the people living under the poverty line (making, less than $1000 a year) live in Port au Prince. The one goal in life of these people is to raise enough money and escape to the United States. "The people of Haiti are happy despite • their poverty. The rstill-have the hopes, dreams and desires we do in Canada with one difference; in Canada, we usually get to realize our dreams," said Esvelt. Anyone wishing to get involved in the trip to Haiti should phone Mia Dalton at G.D.C.I. or at her home phone number of 529-7530.
