One of them is the "I don't want to get involved" syndrome. Another is the morbid curiosity that draws spectators to the scene of a tragedy like flies to a carcass. A few years ago on a busy high- way near Toronto, dozens of motorists ignored a twelve-year- old girl, who jumped from a car and ran a few hundred feet down the road, Later, some of the passers-by reported they noticed a man pull her back into the ear. When the police found her, it was too late. She had been raped. Any of the motorists could have prevented the ugly ending, but they didn't want to become in- volved. In Toronto, several residents of an apartment building heard a woman's screams corning from an alley.The people closed their windows because they didn't want to get involved. An anonymous caller finally alerted the police but by then the woman didn't need their help. As the ambulance attendants removed the body and the police cordoned off the area, the neigh- bours changed their minds. Their morbid curiosity overwhelmed their fear of becoming embroiled in the affair. They clustered on the sidewalks, while the repor- ters' cameras flashed. Recently in London an elderly couple, both confined to wheelchairs, were trapped in their burning home. As the smoke and the flames rose, a crowd gathered outside. They heard the pleas for help, but only two men dared to enter the house. They arrived in time to save the lady, but they couldn't reach her husband. When a tornado devastated some farm buildings in our area several years ago, hundreds of people, from near and far, flocked to the scene. Many came to help clean up the debris, others came just to see the wreckage. Cars jammed the usually quiet back roads, as Sunday afternoon drivers meandered past the ruins. On the Friday evening of this year's Victoria Day weekend, two trucks collided near London. One of the drivers was pinned in his cab. A woman tried to com- fort him, while they waited for the rescuers. Meanwhile, other motorists left their cars to get a closer look. She had to warn them not to smoke, because gas was seeping into the ditch. Several hours elapsed before the crews were able to free the man. During the night, the crowd grew, Some people parked their cars and walked through fields to watch the action, Sometimes the onlookers hampered the efforts of the workers. In the times of crisis, many people show a sincere desire to help. They give physical comfort and lend moral support; some of them save lives. They aren't afraid of becoming involved. If they feel any personal qualms, they overcome them, Unfortunately, their deeds are often overshadowed by the in- considerate onlookers, who mill around a disaster area, In the latter group are the people who won't get involved, until it's too late. Only their morbid curiosity draws them to the scene. If they or members of their families became victims, I wonder how they would regard the spectators. MR. AND MRS. STUART S. STEPHENS Grand Bend United Church was the scene for the May 24, 1975 wed- ding of Patti Glenn and Stuart S. "Nick" Stephens. The bride is b daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy W. Hanlon of Grand Bend and the groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Stephens of London. Rev. Dob- son performed the ceremony. Matron of honour was Mrs. Darlene Bourne of Strathroy and best man was John Wainwright of London. The couple are making their home in London where Patti is an R.N. at Victoria Hospital and Nick is proprietor of House of Comfort furniture photo by Doerr store.

The 20 girls started their volunteer work June 1 after a four day training session from Mrs. Delbridge. They work week- days from 4 to 6:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday four hours, both morning and afternoon. The candy stripers are from 14 to 18 years and must be in at least grade nine. Their uniforms are supplied by the hospital auxiliary, This service is volunteer, but the girls may work toward Strawberries are in style Strawberries rank high in fashion again this year. In spite of fad foods and the myriad of processed foods, they keep their popularity year after year by being so fresh and so natural. Our modern berry is almost as French as fashion itself. It had its beginning in the 18th century when a French army officer brought home some wild strawberry plants from South America. They were crossed with the North. American variety already cultivated ' in French gardens. The outcome was the bright, rich tasting berry we' enjoy today. When buying strawberries, look for those that are a bright, glossy red, have fresh green caps, and no dirt or soft spots. Flavor depends upon variety and ripeness, not upon size. A touchof white on strawberries means they were picked before theywere thoroughly ripened. Since berries wear only a price tag and no label that states they are "bruise resistant," they need the best of care. This starts in the store. Pick them last on your shopping trip and make sure they are put on top of the bag, not at the bottom. Bring them home quickly and roll them out in a flat pan. Pick out any bruised berries, and cover the rest loosely with waxed paper. Refrigerate them and use within two days. Hand wash gently just before using. Dip gently and quickly in cold water lifting the berries out with the fingers to let sand and dirt fall to the bottom. Do not let them soak in water as they lose flavor and vitamins. Remove the caps after the berries are clean and dry. Strawberries are full of goodness. For your next patio barbecue party, why not prepare 'Frozen Strawberry Cream' from Food Advisory Services, Agriculture Canada.
