ROUND AND ABOUUi1TH MARTHA
So much has happened in the-,.._
last few• weeks that I hardly
know if I'm coming or going -
or have BEEN!
Actually, I've been busier
than most at this time -but still
feel I'm not accomplishing •
anything.
My husbands sudden illness
really complicated things, of
course- but I'm happy to report'
he is corning along nicely -
thanks to the T.LLC. Of many
many people.
When he starts bossing me
a"round-you can bet he is on the
way to recovery and we want to
thank our,nany, many friends
for their krndne5' and concern.
I just shudder to think what
would•have happened to him if
"Mustard Report" had become
a fact - and we had had to take
him to a "Centre" fifty or more
miles away.
Then, to - make + it worse we
DO take a few minutes to do
this. Our medical system is
pretty darned good right now -
would probably have -spent the
next hour making up reports
before • he could be admitted.
Doesn't the thought just
shake you, too?
I' li admit I know little about
this "Mustard _Report" and it
is shocking to find .few people
know any more than I 2 but,
there is one thing we can do, -
we can. ask our doctors and
lawyers about it.
Also, Dr. Mills has a sum-
mary •of this report in which he,
has the story in the Caymans'
language, the story condensed
to where you can begin to get
the message. Once this conies
thru' you suddenly realize it is
getting too late to do anything
about it. Because this can only
be changed or held up bi' sen-
ding a petition to our members
of, Parliament - such as Mr.
Robert McKinley M.P.P. Mr.
-Murray Gaunt M.P.P. Mr. jack
Riddell M.P.P. -.or some other
member of the House, we
should send. a letter 'RIGHT

Mystical
poinsettias
BY GAIL COOPER
CONESTOGA JOURNALISM
STUDENT 4,
Most Qhristmas traditions
originaterrin Europe but the
colorful flaming starlike poin-
settia is native to this con-
tinent.
The poinsettia was first in-
troduced to the United States
in 1828 by Dr. 'Joel Robert
Poinsett, for .whom it was
named, the first United -States
minister to Mexico.
The brilliant'qropical plant,
native to Mexico, is called
"Flor de la Noche Buena'' by
the people of Mexico and all of
Central America. Translated it
means ,"Flower of the holy
Night". -
A Mexican legend of an' or-
phan boy explains its origin. An
orphan boy, named Pedro
finished his daily errands.and
There were hardly enough to
buy his evening rneal. His
friends wanted him to come --
'with them to the cathedra* He
refused as h had no money to
buy a gift for the Christ child.
One of his friends pointed to
• a weed by the side of the road
and said for Pedro to take it as
a gift. Hesitantly Pedro picked Y r
-up the stringy weed, climbed
the steep hill to the church and
'slowly made his way to the
altar with its Nacimiento = the
Mexican manger scene.
Kneeling 'before the altar he
reverently placed his gift before
the figure of the Christ child.
As he knelt at the altar, head
down, he heard the crowd mur-
muring. Lifting his head he saw
a beautiful scarlet flower where
only dried leaves had existed a
moment before. -
His 'humble offering had been
miraculously transformed.
The top leaves of the poinset-
tia are flani'ing red, pink or
white and are often mistaken
a
for the flowers, which are small
and inconspicuous. The actual
flowers are in a cluster subten-
ded by a large yellow sticky
gland.,
