O. D.E. Headquarters. Members nat only renewed old friend- ships af long standing but had the oppartunity ta make new ones and welcome same ai Dur- bam's new residents fromn the Netherlands. "Sincerity, kindli- ness and friendliness, the feel- ing af home, brings us ta the Club," said the President, "we hope ta extend it ta new Dur- bamites."1 Rev. and Mrs. A. W. Schaaf- sma, minister ai the Dutcb Re- formed Church, Bowmanville, was introduced as guest speak- er by Mr. Ed Youngman. He mentioned bow people froni difierent countries, starting with the pioneers, bad settled in Durham contrîbuting their share ta its progress, and the new Dutcb church bad been built since the minister's arriva] from Amisterdami. Mr.. Schaafsma spoke fron personal experience ai the oc- cupation ai the Netherlands by the Germans from 1940-45. The Dutch people were a peaceful nation ai traders who had not been at war for over a century. Being a small country they bad hoped ta keep out ai danger and be left alone, but the Dutch had a hard lesson ta learn. The terror ai May lOth when the occupation by the Germans began will neyer be forgotten. Personal conviction and free- dam was no longer recognized; Jews bad ta wear yellow stars on coats and being the largest percentage ai the population soon began ta disappear inta concentration camps. In cîties like Rotterdami and Amster- dam, all butter, bacon, milk and meat was taken by the Ger- mans. Amsterdam rose up and had a general strike for four or five days in protest. Aiter payment ai a beavy fine the re- sistance changed to under- ground, secret arganizations helped people ta escape and bid them away, raiding town halls for ration cards ta feed them. A group called the 'Coun- trx's Knock Group" wvas form- ed, named for their abilities ta "knock down"l men ai the oc- cupational forces. One farmer bîd forty Jews for over a month on bis farm before be was caught. The Jews were regard- ed as the ancient people ai God and respected by the Dutchl in a country ai many dîfierent religions. "In Canada you can bardly meet a Canadian who says he doesn't believe in God," Mr. Scbaafsma remarked, "In Hol- land one either believes in Gorl through bis religion or be does- n't at ahl and be wants bis so- cial life rn according ta bis re- ligiaus beliefs."l Political parties were dis- solved; ministers were not al- lowed ta preacb freely in the churches; Hitler's teachings were forced on the schools and anyane nat in agreement with them was sent ta a concentra- tion camp.

A. W. Schaafsma, not before winter. Cripphing railway strikes were beîd; the Germans were furlous and there was no food. People from the cities walked forty, fiity, six- ty miles looking for food; hun- dreds died; sa many died the churches couldn't bury the dead. "Winter seems like the night ta me," said the speaker, "but this winter was darkness beyong camparison. Famille and dieath stalked the land; bundreds were shot and cap- tured, aiten for being out affer six o'cîock seeking food. Those who tasted war can know the taste ai peace!" "The bombers of the Allies came in droves. Neyer have I seen s0 many planes. April was a real month ai Spring for sanie parts wben the eastern part ai Holland was liberated. The German threatened ahl the low land with flooding and where I îived, the sea came in and c0v- ered the land. On May 5th, the first liberators came ln and the first one I saw was a Canadian in a tank and I wept with greait joy. We oaa feel what the peo- ple suifer fromn gettiag ouf ai one liberation only ta be suli- dued by another power, There must be freedoni for people who love freedom". Mr. Schaafsma concluded very siacerely, makiag bis au- dience feel that such faith la God which had overcame ter- rible coaflict would continue as a strong foundation ta build a new lufe in Canada.
