Odds 'n Ends
Sharing with others
I feel guilty. I let leftovers
sit in thefridgefordays, and
they ended up in the garbage
because I
eating the same dish again.
Most people in Third World
countries, like Bangladesh
and Vietnam, can’t afford
even one meal a day. Each
morning they line up for a
cup of milk provided by an
overseas relief agency, and
for most, it’s the only
sustenance of the day.
I also feel a little guilty
because I bought two new
sweaters for winter not
because onesI didn’t feel like

MR. AND MRS. JOHN BRULS JR.
Louise Edward and John J. Bruls Jr. were united in
wouldn’t have kept me warm
but just because I wanted a
change.
If people can’t afford one
meal a day, they certainly
aren’t going to be able to buy
clothes even though what
they’re wearing may be
turning into rags. Some
people receive one used
article of clothing a year
from relief organization, and
it must stand up to twelve
months of constant wash and
wear.
I saved money to buy a
carpet for the living room,
not because the floor was
bare or cold but because I
wanted a colour more
suitable to the furniture.
Many people would feel
extremely fortunate to have
a floor to sleep on. They
sleep beside railroad tracks
because they have nowhere
else to go.
I complain about a
nagging cough or sore throat
or a flu bug that laid me low
for a few days. Meanwhile
millions of people are dying
because of lack of im
munization, medicine,
doctors and hospitals.
I was reminded of ap
palling conditions in Third
Word countries a few weeks
ago when I viewed a slide
presentation given by Dr.
Lotta
founder
director
Service
Canada,
Canada’s oldest and largest
overseas relief agencies.
Sure, the presentation was
designed to play on the
emotion of the audience, to
evoke our sympathy and to
rouse us to action.
How else can we be jolted
out of our complacency?
How can we be made aware
of how fortunate we are, how
wasteful we are and how
little we share? How else can
we be reminded ttjat many
people are not as fortunate
as we?

Committee of
which is one of
Practical questions come
into our minds: How much
good can one person do? How
can we be sure our money
and gifts get to the people
who really need them? If
those people can’t grow
enough food to feed them
selves, why don’t they
cut down on the population
growth? Haven’t they heard
of family planning?
Relief organizations of
Canada and other nations
are concerned with more
than the immediate needs of
underprivileged countries.
They are providing on-going
programs in family plan
ning, foster parent plans,
immunization, medical care,
education and training in
basic skills, improved
agriculture and community
development.
The purpose is to help
people help themselves, and
an excellent example is
Korea, which raised herself
from the wreckage of war to
stability and independence
with the aid of foreign relief
agencies.
How much help’ can one
person give? Perhaps not
much, but if everyone felt
their contribution wasn’t
worth giving the agencies
that have doneso much good
around the world would
never have been formed and
would never have survived
over the years.
We shouldn’t give at
random, though, just to ease
our consciences. We should
do a little research and find a
reputable outlet that we feel
we can trust. Then, if we
give, it is hopefully because
we appreciate our good
fortune and sincerely want to
share it.
