In storm on Lake Ontario Joe and Mable Green and children ranging in ages from to five ore being tossed about in a small vessel anything but seaworthy in a tremendous storm on Lake Ontario today Mr Green sold all the family owned in order lo buy the small boat but author ties hold liitle hope for their survival Mr Green is at pre sent unemployed and without any other accomodations Tor his family For most of us that kind of induces compassion We Identify with the plight of a family down on their luck pitied against the forces of nature Yet at the same time we barely bat an eyelash at the plight of thousands upon a of Vietnamese boat peo ple stranded in rickety ships drowned each day like so much excess baggage Some of the reasons Tor this are as follows First a figure of several thousands boggles the mind we comprehend install a family tour or five but several thousand just docsn register Secondly we identify with situations we might get our selves into family down on its luck Is acceptable but thous of refugees for survival Just docsn register The third do In t is the colour barrier Though we mouth Christianity each Sunday we really don readily Identify with people whose skin Is not the same colour as our own A pretty sad bunch The newspapers tell us of thousands upon thousands of people men women and child ren babies stranded without the means helping hems elves yet o choose to Ignore the situation Here another point there is a report that on one of the islands off refugees have bubon plague Our small globe will not contain deadly virus in only one area a plague anywhere on this globe Is threat in The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Ilartllng sent a cable to the Malaysian government saying he was deeply by its recent move to turn away new Vietnamese boat people Preventing refugees from landing will Inevitably result in a tragic loss of human lives at Now again we arc not speak of a family of four or five but thousands upon thousands of people stranded human beings fleeing their home land from tyranny and oppression So far only the United States Franco Canada and Australia have accepted substantial numbers of these stranded people for permanent resctllc- Thc United Notions has plan a conference for a pledge action this week in by the major industrial tires of the world Action action always bolls down lo money These ands upon thousands of people have to be fed clothed and relocated If our Christian churches mouthing brotherly love all crusaded for funds these people would have the change they need for survival Many countries throughout the globe have undeveloped areas northern areas jungle arc is sparsely populated a with funding and equip ment these people could be relocated in ways that would be beneficial to all If we do not reach out to help our fellow man In distress we will soon find that our glove has shrunk lo the point where problems quickly become our problems Plague is a case in
