C la,L`ike We have some more new neigh hours - the third family within tw years to live on one farm near here In fact we have to hurry up thes days to meet any new neighbour who come along or else they ar gone before we have a chance to say "Hullo". We were sorry to say goodbye the other clay to these last neigh. bours of ours that we had known for such a little while• and from whom we might have learned so much, had they stayed longer. Originally they came from Europe and were intelligent, industrious, kindly folk, who would have been an asset to the community, had not circum- stances, which wer not of their making, made it impossible for them to stay. Their life in Europe had been tragic, In Canada they had been more fortunate - that is, until World War 2 when their only son, serving with the Canadian forces, was killed two months before peace (?) was declared. Then while they were living on the farm, the wom- an's sister, with two teen-age chil- dren, came tto live with thein. They were DPs from Central Europe. Originally there had been four children in the family, but the two eldest boys had been taken away to forced labour camps and their mother had no way of finding out whether they wer dead or alive. And yet we, in Canada, sometimes think w e have reason t • feel sorry for ourselves! One thing I noticed particularly was the quiet stoicism with which the woman told me these things. 1 had the feeling she had suffered so notch that she was drained of any further emotion. Knowing these people made me especially glad to hear a splendid address given by Miss Ethel Chap- man on "Canadians All". Miss Chapman illustrated so clearly in her talk what each nationality had contributed to Canada as a whole, proving that "unity -without uni- formity" was not only possible but desirable. Miss Chapman tried to make us realize that new Canadians should not be criticised because their ways and customs were differ- ent, but should be encouraged to cultivate their carious arts and crafts in Canada, thus enriching the country of their adoption. As, fol instance, the 'Scandinavian races with their agricultural experience; the Europeans with their culture and scientific skill, and the Latin races with their beautiful handicrafts and ' o their facility for adding colour to their lives, And of course she melt - e tioued the thrift of the Scots, the s wit of the Irish, the tenacity of the e English, and the Welsh with their music and intense love of country. All nationalities were mentioned and the desirable qualities of each were emphasized, Looking at it that way, Canada should certainly be rich in every kind of craft and cul- ture, Next day daughter and I enjoyed a very different experience. We went to an auction sale in the coun- try -farm stuff and furniture - and what fun we had' Daughter wanted a good miror for her house- keeping room in the city, At this sale there was an old-fashioned dresser with a large bevelled mirror -and we got the whole thing for almost a song. Our next problem was how to get it home without Bob having to make a special trip with the truck. Looking it over 1 said: "If we take it to pieces 1 believe it will all go in the trunk of the car." (Amazing what you can get into a trunk.) So we borrowed a screwdriver front a man who was standing around and then we went to work, Presently seeing us strug- gling with the rusty and embedded screws a sympathetic farmer came to the rescue, and it', no time at all the dresser was -in four pieces. Then another ratan came along and helped us get it over to the car and into the trunk. Yes, it did go in, except for what stack out behind. When we got home we divided the spoil. Daughter got the mirror; I was only too glad to have the dresser drawers for one of our spare rooms, and the little cupboard which was on one side of the dresser is going to make an excellent bathroom cab- inet. On the whole we were very well satisfied with our afternoon's outing, liven if we had not got the dresser it would still have been fun - more fun than any sale I had been to for a long time ---and 1 came to the conclusion it was be. cause there were so many men around! There were quips flying bade and forth all the time, espll' dally when the men stood looking o11 ^- some of them buying - when the dishes, drapes and bedlincn wcrc being sold, Sometimes even the auctioneer didn't know what he was selling -- which all added to the jokes and laughter.
