Times-Advoccst•, Novmb•r 2, 1978 By ELAINE TOWNSHEND I feel guilty. 1 let leftovers' sit in thefridgefordays, and they ended up in the garbage because I didn't feel like Odds 'n Ends Sharing withcothers 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 the old ones wouldn't have kept me warm practical questions come but just because 1 wanted a into our minds: How much change. good can one person do? How If people can't afford one can we be sure our money meal a day, they certainly and gifts get to the people aren't going to be able to buy who really need them? If clothes even though what those people can't grow they're wearing may be enough food to feed them - turning into rags. Some selves, why don't they ' people receive one used 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 - ovel the years. We shouldn't give at random, though, just-toease 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. • MR. AND MRS. JOHN BRULS JR. Sharon Louise Edward and John J.

Phdto by Haugh 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 foF 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 Hitschmanova, founder and executive direetor of the Unitarian Service Committee of Canada, which is one of 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 that many people are not as fortunate as we? v (10 4) • rmo tv tv • • elect • elect a elect • elect • elect • elect • elect • elect • 4- v d d • 4- 4, 4) u 4 4) • 4- v 4) • Sof 4) • Support RON on November 13 •t • Community Service • • Management Experience • A Peopie'sMan Vote RON COTTRELL for.
