(By Joe McLean) In nine weeks of travelling in ten European countries we have had some special experiences and' met many young people from allover the world. One of the most interesting "young persons." I have met has got to be Jan Groothuis of Hengevelde, Holland. One of his 14 children Gerald, has lived in Seaforth for many years. A t 83 years of age, after a full, rewarding life as a carpenter, then businessman, Mr Groothuis has much spare time. I really don't know what to call him except a faitAealer. For six years he has been helping to heal burns, cuts, bruises, colds and many other ailments for anyone who wants his help. Before that he looked after his immediate family. I don't know how or why he is able to heal people. All I can say with reasonable certainty is that his medicine work's.
