Back in Holland, Mr. Casemore reported the Dutch government is building a new type of low- cost rental unit. They are known 4s the "Ball Houses". In one new subdivision, 99 of these new homes have been built. They are constructed in groups of three on one lot. These odd-looking houses are designed for couples with no children. Mr. Casemore said the rent works out to approximately $175 Canadian per month. While visiting friends in Ieper, Belgium, Mr. Case - more had the opportunity of hearing The Last Post play- ed at Mein Gate, as has been done every night at eight o'clock except during the war years of 1940-45.

One example of the Dutch attitude concerns the taking of illicit drugs, Although smoking marijuana is of- ficially illegal, the Am- sterdam council has ac- cepted that it is better to let it go on in a controlled and, regulated way in clubs which are partlysubsidized by the city. A new city on the out- skirts of Amsterdam is home to many "junks", or addicts 4,.s„ the Duteh people call item. • Mr. Casemore reported in the centre of this new eitY is a"shed", a two - room structure where ad- dicts go to take drugs under the supervision of the police. "At least we know where they are," the police com- mandant has been reported as saying. "Kill the Pope, Kill the Pope," was the angry "welcome" many Dutch people had for Pope John Paul II when he visited the Netherlands last May, which made foreigners realize Holland ,isn't all windmills and wooden shoes, reports Mr. Casemore. There evenis a program to encourage artists and sculptors in a most practical way, he says. If no one will buy an artist's works, the government buys'them and stores the work in warehouses. Mr. Casemore said he visited one of these warehouses in Bosch. CRUISE MISSILES. One issue that does divide the Dutch is whether 48 American cruise missiles should be deployed 'n Holland. These rockets, pointed at the Soviet Union, " would be part of a total deployment of 572 Pershing and cruise missiles, weapons approved by NATO to counter new installations of Soviet SS -20 missiles aimed at Western Europe. In early November, the Dutch government approved the installation of the missiles by a very close vote. Mr. Casemore said he spoke to many Dutch citizens and found that 75 per cent are not in favor of the missile deployment. An election is scheduled for next year in the Netherlands .and Mr. Casemore reports deploy- ment of the U.S. missiles could be the main focus of the election. On a side trip to West Germany, Mr. Casemore° Melville WMS holds Dec. meeting BRUSSELS — The Christmas meeting of the Women's Missionary Society of the Melville Presbyterian Church was held recently at the home of Mrs. Isabel Gibson with 11 members and one visitor present.
