The long slow process of rebuilding bodies, eradicating dis- ease, inspiring hope, really bring- ing them back from the brink of the grave. First in importance was the setup of depots providing noul-ishing food and clothing and improvised shelter so that wrack- ed minds and bodies might accom- modate themselves to the next step, education, vocational train- ing, spiritual rejuvenation. Told with fidelity to détail were the steps taken by UNRRA to these ends. Striking indeed was the story that one of the first "(wants" of these half-dead hu- mans was the desire to set up chapels and resume worship in the Christian faith. With bits and pieces they fashioned altars and drew renewed strength in this manner and thus with fresh hope went on to pursue under UNRRA guidance the practical aids to re- habilitation so splendidly organ- ized; education, recreation, prac- tical occupations for hands and minds. Homeiess Chiidren 'Amidst it all went on aiscreen- ing process in which UNRRA sought to reunite children with parents to sort out thé nationals among DP's uprooted and disper- sed as slave labor from neigh- boring states. Poignant was the story of thousands of homeless, orphaned children many of the teen-age grown lawless and haîf- wild. It was an immense task that still goes on. Germans had har- bored many of these children to bring them up as Germans in their hateful ideology and UNRRA came to their rescue. Squadron Leader Davidson con- cluded the composite story with an up-to-date picture of how UN- RRA has succeeded in its task. His effort was a peroration drawn from the depths of inspiration and enthusîasm in the work. His words conveyed an amazîng pic- ture of the strength that lies in human hearts, minds and bodies once seized with ideals that Chris- tian principles are the bulwark against which the forces of evil cannot prevail. Human Appeal In closing, the speaker took the democracies to task. He gave proof that these DP's, morally and spiritually reclaimed, yet home- less and stateless, were our equals and even our superiors in the mat- ter of law and order and in abil- ity as artisans, professions and ordinary work. He urged as a so- lution and a simple one, that the 700,000 still displaced should be absorbed by the Dominions and the United States. where their in- herent aptitudes and stability would be found national assets and in no way liabilities. Squadron Leader Davidson re- turns this week to wind up his task in Germany, where he ob- served, the major burden of re- habilitation, the supplying of food and fuel has been placed on the Germans themselves at UNRRA insistence. The Allied nations supplied the funds for organiza- tion which has effectively operat- ed under UNRRA. But at the end of this year it hands over the task to the International Refugee Or- ganization of the United Nations. Great Occasion Much has been left out of this report for reasons of space. But CANADIAN BANK DEPOSITS GROW Public deposits in Canadiaxi chartered banks totalled almost $5.8 billions at the end of Septem- ber, a new high, which is expect- ed, however, to be exceeded. in October figures, The Financial post reports. Bank loans, up $26 millions on the month, $266 mil- lions on the year, are viewed as indicating a trend back to econo- mic normalcy.
