ovied slowly.' 1 was eweeting patient-
-ply for my next move. Being wearyI closed nny eyes' and •allowed 'my
thoughts to wander back to that
auteenn moeneng• when my beiov-
ed-doctor father, looking tired and
• care -.worn,. abruptly • announced
"that he had to go' away for 'sev-
eral weeks on 'urgent. business, I
started to .say, "But that about
", but he interrupted, "Dr.
:Heftier will look after my prac-
ti,ce." While he 'spoke he was
• ' busily lettering ',a neat sign to
'hang on the office 'door:. He loon-
ed up gravely and his next words
were steed:Mg, • "Nikola, you are
ln..cinarge of the borne while 1 are

Again.- I vea 'about• to 'dnterrups;
but he cozntinued, ' "No, ; ydu do not
.know the sisters, but they will be
,expecting, you." With- a brief
farewell he was .gone. I'had want-
- ed to ask if there • was• any newsy
:from my elder • br'oticer, ..joseph;
who had been at the. 'O,lymp ,c
'-Gaines in ,Australia.
Strange things .were beginning.
to happen in my homeland, and
.any .father did • not -return `a't the
date marked On the calender.
Fearfully • I sett out to climb the
narrow winding road ,up the
mountain, I too; •did not return
to my .former home, 'for econ 'there
w,asr no home to which I rrii:ght go.
• My- reverie .was interrupted by
a voice calling my :'name, '" Nikola
.Ansearf, • Nikola Anscarf," I smil-
ed -at the strange pronunciattion,
end arose to meet a .friendly
gentleman in a blue and red •uni-
dorm, A new life was beginning
for me.
I felt sure that 1 was blushing
when I; said., "I am Nikola Ans-
carf, Sir:" Thenhe said in a
F
pleasant voice, F el1.0 w rne,
please. Then. T notieed that I
was the .only child, but that I
was in a small line and that we
were bolding each other's hand,.
X was a little embarrassed,. for I
was much older than, the other
children in the line. We then
started down one side of the sta-
tion, Here -I saw a train that
Baine of my recent friends probe
ably would have been taking with
their parents, if they had not been
hurt or even kii'lled, in the recent
uprising in my homeland. All of
a sudden my thoughts were stop-
ped with a jolt: L,odkang around
1 saw that we were stopped in
front of a Red Cross stand for
Hungarian refugees, A lady in a
white uniform and wearing a hat
that had a red cross on it gave
us some sandwiches and milk, for
which 1 was very thankful, The
Red Cross was a sign that had
become very. familiar with I left
Hungary.. We were led to benches
where we sat down "to` eat our.
food.
I thought to myself, "Now I am
in a land of free people." That
brought to mind a similar thought
about the time I had to write out
one hundred lines for teasing two
Canadian, children in school. That
was about two years before when
Russian troops invaded my
country to try to make Hungary
one of the Russian satellites. After
that many of the teachers • were
Russian, and Russian books_.were
used in the schools. Then a per-
son was not . allowed to say, o"In
Canada people are free."
I wondered about my father
and hoped that he was free. I
knew that he must know where I
was because it was .he who told
me to go to the convent on the
side of the hill where the sisters
led several other children and my-
self to safety.
Our flight to freedom had. not
been an easy ene .for after we
left the convent, led by one of the
sisters, we met some soldiers in
the Hungarian Army with a Rus-
sian officer 4n command. He ord-
ered the troops to shoot us, but

they did not obey, Instead they
turned their backs on us and let
Os- go by. The Russians .officer
was so enraged with this that he
drove off in a jeep threatening
that he would put the entire party
in front of a firing squad.
As we proceeded on up the road
we could hear the men speaking
about something; When they ran
after us I thought they had chang-
ed their minds and were going to
follow the officer's orders to cap-
ture us, but all they wanted was
to join us. We all marched up
the road for about three kilo-
meters, and then followed a ravine
to the river. On the far bank of
this river we saw Austrian sold-
iers who, were border guards. On
the side near us were a small band
of Russian soldiers. One of them
saw us and took a shot at us. Then
the Hungarian troops started to
fire back. Luckily we escaped
across the river, We were soon
followed by the Hungarian troops.
I then noticed that two of thern
had been killed and one wounded.
The wounded man was helped
ashore by the Austrian soldiers.
We then left for the closest town
that had room: for Hungarian re-
fugees. While walking along the
road a , truck came up from be-
hind, with an Austrian driver who
offered us a ride. We gladly got
in for we were tired from our long
journey. When we got to the
town I first became acquainted
with the sight of the Red. Cross.
Frem that town we got a train
ride to a city which had an air-
port. When I noticed that the
soldiers who had accompanied, us
were not present I asked the
sister where they had gone. She
told me that they had gone 'back
home to fight.
We then boarded big a b g four -
engine plane bound for Canada.
On our arrival at Montreal air-
portwe were taken to the train
depot. Some of us were going to
the west and some to other parts
of Canada to live with. Canadian
families. T was told that I would
be going to a home in Ontario.
After I had finished my sand-
wich and boarded a train for my
destination in "Ontario, I opened
the window to bid farewell to the
sister and those children I had
recently met. I then sat back to
enjoy the beautiful scenery,
It was not long until the train
stopped and I looked' out to see
my brother Joseph. As I stepped
out to greet him one of the first
things I noticed was his black eye.
He told me that ithappened to
him when his team beat the Rus-
sians in water polo at the Olympic
Games. To gether we walked out
of the station and my brother cal-
led a taxi to take us to my new
home. On arrival there I saw my
father standing at the door ready
to welcome me. Now m�' joy was
complete! He explained that since
he had attended Budapest Uni-
versity he had been chosen to
speak on the short-wave radio
broadcast to tell the people to
fight for freedom.. I then had
something to eat, and went to bed
as I was very tired. Just before
going to sleep I thought, "To-
morrow starts a new life for me!"
With that in mind I dozed into a
peaceful, slumber.

Airmen's Charge Reduced; Magistrate
Promises Stiff Fines for Offenders
A charge of auto theft against
a 19 year old airman from sta-
tion Clinton, was reduced in mag-
istrate's court here on Tuesday,
when Magistrate D. E. Holmes.
contended the charge was too
serious for the offence. D. W.
Harvey plead guilty .to the new
charge of taking a car without
the owner's consent, and was
fined $50 and costs, or three
weeks.
Apparently the offence had
occured at a dance in Hayfield,
when Harvey started a car with-
out to key,' and. drove off. He
stated afterweands. that he intend-
ed
ntended ;driving back to 'camp. The
car belonged to 3. Glazier,
Holmes contended that the ch-
arge should have been laid as
revis'ed, because there was no
evidence that the man involved
had intended to dispose of the
car, "Otherwise, why should par-
liament put that section in the
law?" said Mr. Holiness. Crown
Attorney Hays stated that he
couldn't "change my attitude to-
ward the law to coincide with
your worship's fancy in the mat-
ter." HoIn1es proceeded ;to change
the information on the charge,
and said that Hays could lay an
appeal if he wished. Hays re-
plied that he would not do that
but that he' did not "agree with
your worship's procedure."
Stiffer Penalties
Magistrate Homes . pe•esdicted,
"I'm going to be a great dead
stiffer in penalties to those driv-
ers
rivers not ,obeying the ordinary traf-
fic rimes. I don't see why a car
which is proceeding carefnily al-
ong the highway, should be sub-
jected to damage by one whose
driver is not obeying laws. I'm
a little annoyed by people who,
don't obey signs and ordinary rule
lee."
He fined I. C. Carnegie $50 and
costs, or three . weeks, as the re -
suit of a careless driving charge,
following aiu accident south of
Station Clinton on Highway 4,
when theCarnegie Car rammed
the back of another car, causing
$800 damage.

Poultry Producers Threatened By
Processor Control of Sales and Feed
(J, Curl, HemingyaY)
A zone ,directors meeting of t1v..
Poultry Producers was held in
To rontp, Friday, June 21, far the
purpose of .doing something. to im-
prove the condition of the fn'dustry,
It was generally agreed that
large companies have taken the
profit out off the individual pro-
duction of bi1oiJers. This is the nat-
-ural result since by cutting the
profit the large company can have
the' farmers produce for him under
contract, As soon as the private
producers disappear the company
will control production, as well as
feed and px,ocessing profits. As
long as producers have, ne control
over the feed they buy or •the
marketing pf the product they
will be at the mercy of the feed
mill and the processor which is
usually the same organization.
• It seems, that egg production is
-doomed to the same fate unless
something. is. done. First of all
a m'eithnd of financing will have to
be devised, A levy could he coi.'
leeted by the egg -grading stations
but since 6Q percent -o our $11011;
eggs are -sold *eat by producers
to consumer it would be unfair to
collect by this. means;
Tile second big problem is the
threat of big cox+poratteges taking
control of egg production as they
have in the broiler ma, If large
corpora<tions get control of egg
Production through contract they
will corvtinnie to produce eggs at
cost or less and make all their
profit on feed and processing
where competion is not serious.
In the dairy industry farmers
halve Q5 perecent of the total in-
vested while companies with only
five percent invested control the
sale of the product. If the poultry
producer is to survive he must
organize hi some manner to derive
a profit from each step of the"
industry, not just production: This
can be done by the Co-op method.
and uatless a better method is der
-veloped promptly, we should be
