SHOULDER TO WHEEL It's all very well to take off our hats to those who perform some public service, but health authori- ties say that it would be better for us all to take off our coats and buckle down to the job of making Canada a better and healthier land in which to live.

TUBBORN SPOTS GONE PHONE 2520 Luck Follows English Fami ly Newly Arrived in Oshawa Extremely grateful for all the hospitality and kindness she and her family have been shown since they arrived here from England five weeks ago, Mrs, Goeffrey Mansell is happily settled in a new home in a new country. She is delighted with her charming home on La Salle Avenue and finds central heating a great comfort, in fact "there is so much here to make life comfort. able," she said, adding quickly "I'll be glad when this mud dries up." When the Mansell family left their home by the Thames at Staines, near Windsor, they did not know that they were coming to Osh. awa. "We did not come out under the Drew scheme because my husb. and would have had to come with- out us, so having made up eur minds to come to Canada, we decid. ed to come by plane privately, Mrs, Mansell explained. They ran into a bad storm in the Atlantic and she was fearful for her two little girls, Hilary who is eight, and Valerie, only three. Arrived in Toronto Mr. and Mrs, Mansell spent a week visiting neighboring towns and were im. pressed with the friendliness of the people they met on a visit to Osh. awa. When Mr. Mansell was offered | & position at General Motors they were both quite ready to make their home here. With unprecendented luck they found a house, the owner of which was leaving for British Columbia, and who was glad to sell them the contents too. "We sold our bungalow and furniture to friends at home, " said Mrs. Mansell smil. ingly "and we felt we were doing them a good turn, so perhaps we are getting some of it back." When asked why they had thought of coming to Canada Mrs. Mansell said that they had had al- most eight bad years of war and that it looked as though it would be even more than eight years before things were normal again. "That's a big lump out of anyone's life," she added, "and we felt we didn't want to waste that much of our time. Once we got the idea of coming we realized that we should leave before the children were any older. We went to Canada House and Ontario House and feund out all we could, Hardship of DP Camps Shocking, Writer Says Miss Amelia Prentice who was in Oshawa just before Christmas on a trip home from a displaced persons camp in Klagenfurt, Austria, whére she is a welfare officer, has written to the Oshawa members of the Women's League of Health and Beauty to thank them for their : donation which enabled her to buy warm stockings for some of the old and invalid inmates. Her letdor reads in part: "Very few people in the displaced persons camps have stockings and the weather is bitterly cold. It is very unfortun. ate that the people in Canada have no idea about living condi- tions over here. If moving pic. tures could be taken and shown across Canada, the public would be shocked. "Imagine living in a camp for three years, eating poor food and having no warm clothing. Shock- ing, isn't it? I enjoyed my visit to Canada. Most of the time I felt I was either dreaming or living in a but at best it was very little when you are selling up and leaving everyone' behind you. "We were shown postcards of Toronto's skyline when we asked what Toronto was like," she con. tinued, "and we could find out practically nothing about . the smaller industrial centres such as Oshawa. Our friends thought we were plucky to come, but I've been sending them the Daily Times. Gazette and they will get a good impression from that what the place and the people living in it are like. 'I do think, she added, 'that more everyday literature is needed over there, and a few films showing the average housewife in her home and about her daily tasks, and the streets, shops and parks of a place such as Oshawa. Hundreds of peo. ple are interested in coming but cannot get enough general informa. tion to feel secure about making the break." Living on the banks of the Tha- mes the Mansells were victims of the big flood, but fortunately for them suffered no loss although the flood waters came up within an inch. Later Mrs. Mansell received food and a pair of shoes for Hilary, her allotment from a Canadian Re- lie{ parcel, for which she was most thankful. "It seemed like an omen," she said. ; 'Parcels mean so much to the people at home," she continued. "T wish something could be dene about the postage. I can't write and tell them about all there is here without sending parcels to share, then pay. ing such high postage rates takes all the joy out of sending the parcel." : Little Valerie is happy with 'her new toys,--she had to leave nearly everything behind, and Hilary, her big sister, is going to school and loves it. "Of course we miss our friends, and perhaps the theatre and find a few things a bit strange, but I'm sure in a few months those things will adjust themselves, and when there is so much to be thankful for the lesser things don't count," was the parting rejoinder of this wel. come newcomer, an ambassador of goodwill. ee eet eee eee er -------------- new world, It was so hard to be. lieve that only a few years ago I lived there and enjoyed the eom. fort.
