Liquor charges in court Imagine by Alice GIbb When Dr, Lotta Hitschmanova, founder and executive director of the Unitarian Service Committee of Canada„ founded the agency after World War 11, she planned to devot one year to helping people overcome the ravages of war. Now, 33 years later, Dr. Hitschmanova is still using every means a,;allable to her to tell the people of Canada about the plight faced by the Third World. Last Wednesday, Dr. Hitschmanova, a Petite redhead, who always wears the same plain, military-style uniform, spoke about her work to students at Seaforth District High School. The doctor told students she faced a difficult assignment since she came to them as a messenger "from people half a world ' away" who have different "lifestyles, languages and problems." ' Dr. Hitschmanova asked the students to imagine they had been born in the tiny country of Bangladesh, which is smaller tion the Maritimes and has 83 million people. World Tour Dr. Hitschmanova, who only returned from a world tour of underdeveloped countries recently, said many people in Bangladesh earn their living as rickshaw drivers. The men rise at 6 a.m., carry water from the village well to wash, and then put on the same sweaty shirt they have worn for days, often the only shirt they own. The doctor said the men don't have any' breakfast, they work hard and long, and 9REETINGS - Gayle Vander Velden, president of the S.D.H.S.. 4tudents' council greets Dr. Lotta kiitschmanova of the Unitarian Services Committee after Dr. 10itschrnanova's talk to students at fire school :During her talk to the students, the doctor suggested they 4onsider holding a clothing drive at the school to provide clothing for people in Third World countries. (Expositor Photo)' bring home the equivalent of 37 cents a day which pays for the family's only meal of the day, which usually consists of vegetables. Dr. Hitschmanova said the fact which she found so "degrading and haunting" was that these men "have to do the work of animals or machines." She told the students it was only an accident of birth that the rickshaw drivers were born in Bangladesh rather than Canada, Although Dr. Hitschmanova painted a sober picture of life in the poorer nations of the world, she said she found some progress on her last visit to these countries. One improvement is that the Unitarian Services Committee (USC) is able to feed many of the people in these poorer nations with milk, made from milk powder donated by the Canadian government. Food for Work Also, the United Nations has created a food-for-work program in 'countries like Bangladesh. The agency pays the workers with food in return for their labor in projects which will improve living conditions in the country. In Bangladesh, for example, which is threatened with serious %Wine during the monsoons, the men arc diggingdikes to prevent future flooding. In Lesotho, a small country in the south of Africa, the USC has started an egg industry which is operated by women in the country. The women arc often left alone for months at a time, with no income coming in, when their husbands leave Lesotho to work in the mines of South Africa, often returning only once a year. Now the women are producing eggs for nine months of the year which not only supplies them with food, but also brings in enough money to keep families afloat. Dr. Hitschmanova said when she first visited Lesotho, she was shown a beautiful hospital. However, when she was taken inside the building she found "there was nothing but human !iced." There were no blankets to cover patients, no diapers for the newborn babies and the nurses lacked uniforms. Since then, Dr. tlitschmanova has been able to supply each nurse with five uniforms through donations made by Canadian nurses. and Canadians have donated money to buy blankets, diapers and build a childrens' ward- at the hospital. Herd Boys Dr. Hitschmanova said another problem the USC has tackled in Lesotho is that of herd boys or girls who aren't able to go to School. 'The doctor told the sutdents the children start caring for village herds when they are as' young as four or five years of age. Now the USC has started a scholarship fund which allows the children to attend school and pays someone else to care for ,the animals. This year, 48 children who would have been denied an education are attending class under the scholarship program. The children said Dr. Hitschmanova, "are the great hope of their country for the future." • In telling the students about the work of the USC, Dr. Hitschmanova said the agency Meter Tweeters meet The Kippen #3 Meter Tweeter' met for their 3rd meeting on Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Joyce Wilson. Nancy Stoll read the minutes of the last meeting. Leaders ,Mrs.Wilson and Mrs. Gibson told about good lunches and members made white sauce. the next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Ann Gibson. Charges of creating, unnecessary noise and having liquor readily available in a motor vehicle made up the • majority of cases heard in 'provincial court in Seaforth last The doctor said,11WF(Canadierts) are the fortunate ones becp.use we are on the giving side do you know how terrible it must be to be on the receiving end?" In a question period following her talk, Dr: Hitschmanova was asked what the USC does to help people become more self-sufficient. Teaching The (lector said USC is first interested is teaching the people of underdeveloped countries to produce more and better food. The second concern of the USC is for the. health of people in these countries. coupled 'Twas the night 'fore• Hallowe'en, and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, 'cept a bat and a( mouse; The pumpkins were cut with weird faces to scare Any visitors that might just venture there; • The children were nestled all warm in their beds, heads; visions of goblins danced in their And Mum in her rollers, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for' snug autumn nap, When outside the house there arose such a wind I jumped from my bed to see what caused the din. Away to the window I stumbled and moaned, Tore open the curtains and threw up the storm. The full moon on the flaked branches and mud Gave eerie shapes to the shadows anti stuff When, what to my watering eyes should appear, But a corn stalk broom and a cat, black as could be, With a little driver, so evil and thin I knew •in a momenf it must be a witch. More rapid than a jet her broom it came, And she screeched, and howled, and called rats by name; `Now, Scrollerl Now, Franken Now, Jekyll and Hyde! On Goblin! On, Coffin! On, Ghosts up so high! To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall, Get away, Get away, get away all.' Like the, wind that whistled round the crickety house, The skies were all black, and the cat chased the mouse; So up to the housetop the broom it fast flew With the black. fat on the back and Witchie-poo, too. • And then in a twinkling, I heard on the roof; The thud of her broom, the bound of her boots; • With family planning programs to overcome overpopulation problems. Dr. Hitschmanova said there is no happier day for the USC than 'when we can phase out (our programs) sinee,we are no longer needed." She said this year, the USC will leave Korea on December 31, after 27 years involvement since the country now has a high enough standard of living to do without the group. Another student asked Dr. Hitschmanova if people from the have-not countries could .,be moved to more affluent countries. Dr. Hitschmanova said this was very difficult to accomplish except in the case of an extreme yagedy such as a war. Overpopulated Dr. Hitschmanova said the world is already overpopulated, and there are few countries left which have as small a population as Canada, , She said 80 per cent of the resources of the world, however, belong to less than 20 per cent of the world's population. The doctor said she spoke to the students to make them more aware of the responsi- bility we have in Canada to care more for the other people of the world, to share more'and to waste less of our own resources. In Hullett ELECT GREG BRANDON Deputy-Reeve needs both money and clothing. She asked students to consider holding a clothing drive, and said if each student could give only one piece of clothing, it would mean 400 pieces which could be sent to people in underdeveloped countries. The Unitarian Service Committee pays the cost 'of transporting the clothing. Smaller Builds Dr. Hitschmanovp asked that the clothing be small or medium sizes, since the populations in Third World countries have smaller builds than Canadians. Odds, n' ends by Elaine Townshend Just before Hallowe'en As I drew in my head and was turning around, Down the chimney she came with a swooshing sound. She was dressed all in black from her head to her foot And her clothes were all covered with ashes and soot; A big old kettle she had slung on her back, And a ladle for stirring she drew from a sack. • Her eyes - how they squinted.; her skin - how it .cracked; • Her cheeks were so hollow, her nose it was flat! Her dry little mouth was drawn up like a prune, The square of her chin was like a log newly-hewn; The bUtt of a cigar she clamped in her teeth, And the smoke it encircled her head like a shield; She had a hard brow and a lip that was tight, Her voice, like a hinge,creaked in the night. She was 1, ng and lean, a real scary old elf. ' And I shuddered aloud, in spite of myself; A blink of her eye and a twitch of her head, For a moment I felt nothing but dread; She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work, Blew out all the pumpkins, there turned with a jerk And straightening the cap on the top of her head, And giving a nod, up the chimney she fled; She sprang to her broom, to her cat gave a cry And away they all flew like the sweep of a scythe; -._....- But I heard her proclaim ere she flew past the moon, "Trick or treat to you all, and I'll be back real soon," (Oops, I've got my occasions mixed, What can you expect from someone who just had the wits scared out of her by a four-foot Count Dracula who couldn't wait until October 31?)
