1AG~ EIGET TEE CANADIAN STATMAN, BOWMANVIILE, ONTABJO THURSDAY, OCT. 22nd. 105E 8V DOROTHY UARKER 1 She sat like a Duchess in the seat of the lower berth oppo- site mine. Her Nova Scotia amethysts gleaniing on her ex- pansive bosom and in the lobes of ber ears, matched the chif- fan scarf at ber neck and the gloves she had laid beside the shoe box on the opposite seat. On her tight, graying curis was eL little white hat perched plumb on the top of her head. She watched anxiously fram the, window and as the conductor cailed "Ail Aboard" turned to me with a worried irown and gaid, "I wonder where my bags are, iass?"I She infarmed me that her daugbter had conifortingly said, "Now, Mamma, you dont hav¶ to worry about 1,thing. You'il meet some nice ldy on the train and yaur journey to Niagara Falls wili be over be- fore you know it." The plot thickened. Evidently I was to play the part of the "nice lady" and mamma was to while awav the hours with a vole-o! farn- lly history that would stumo a biographer, before nightfali and blessed sleep shut her Up. Mamma had travelled <lv once before in her sixty-odd years. That was when father brought ber out from England as a bride to settle on the crag- gy coast of eastern Canada. She had borne bum five Canadian sons and one dîtto daughter and] now sbe was on ber way to visit the sons, ail settled in n ten mile radius o! the scenic spiendour of the Falls. It was quite evlaent that d.au- ghter had not traveiled trio rnuch either,for she had.checlr- *d mammnas train case together Air, Rail or Steamshlp TI TC KETS8 I TO EVERYWHERE Consult JURY & LOVELL là King St. W. MA 3-5778 i Bowmanviile with ber suit case and mamma, being several sizes larger than 1, was stranded without night attire or even a tooth brusi. How could I belp ber? She couldn'l have worn my spare nightie on one of ber thighs and thougli I thought o! offer- ing ber a chiclet when she said ber main worry was bow she was going ta make ber new uppers stick, I refrained and only watched carefully that I was not the target for a set o! dentures when mamma got too vociferous. Sic spoke diligently o! thc business and financial stand- ing of! cd son, lier son-in- law's career and the fact that thc baby next door bad been born without a rectum. Mamma was inexhaustible; ber vocal cords and ber retentive niind had thc velocity o! a .22 repea- tcr. If she missed tefling me anything that had happened in the respective households of the famiiy lune, it was sheer over- sight. Along about 8 p.m. the porter could sec I was fraying at the edges and lie came to my res- cue. He made Up lier berth and advised ber ta retire and get a good night's rcst, because the train arrivcd in Montreai very early in the morning. I had to inforni ber that I was stoppîng over in Montreal and could not keep ber company as far as To- ronto, where she expectcd son No. 4 ta meet ber, but that I would be rigil there next to ber if aie needed me during thc niglit. ThaI was a mistake. About evcry bour an tic hour she would lean out o! ber bcrtn, give my curtain a lwitch and wJisper in a tone that would 4 wakcn tic dead, "Lass, lass, whal lime ia it now?" I wished I wcre tic lion that swallowed Little Albert and that I could devour this Lancashire native.' Only in tbis way would il have been possible to control main- ina.

After I had exiauat- cd al thc places wliere sie mugit possibly be, I rang for the porter. "Wlierc's manu=?" I asked hlm. "Lady, you don't know what troubles I've bad. That lady's been up since five-thirty hold- ing down tbe leather seat la thc men's room. She won'l budge. Says it ia more comiort- able in there.

She was just ane ai tiase price- less experiences Ibat are hard ta live through at the time, but bumorous ta look back on.

Mr. Currie, thc special speaker at the club's luncheon meeting held at thc Flying Dutchinan Motor Hotel on Frlday, stressed the fact that a better understandlng af other peoples, their customs and problema leada to international goodwiil. A. H. Strike Introduced thc speclal speaker ànd explained thât Mr. Currie, a graduate electrical engineer, la now stu- dying under a International Ro- tary Foundation Scholarship at th. University of Toronto for his Master Degree in Science. There la a treinendous nced of better international under- standing, Mr. Currie stated. He mentioned the recent visit of Nikita KIrushchev to the Un- ited States as an obvious exani- pie la this connection. He ex- piained that some nations have become se powerful that there la an urgent need for tbem te learn te get along with ecd other. "What we think ai a place largely depends on Uic people we know there," he pointed out. "People are more important than things. In this age af au- tomation men sometimes seem ta be driven by machines. Get- ting ta know the people of other lands helps la understanding and llking themn", lie added. He said that when lie first arrived ini Toronto he at first not1ced thc differences between life in a Canadian city and tiat af New Zealand. He remarked that cars here had te drive ta the right, instcad of!tetalefit as they do in bis home coun- try. Signs were made in a. ta hlm, unusual way, the printing of notices seemed strange, and claties too are different in Can- ada, he said. The first reactian af a stran- ger to Canada is te think the way things are down at home la the best way, lie told the Rotarians. But tien one stops and thinks it la mistaken te have a tendcncy ta believe my country right or wrang.' A stu- dent learna ta evaluate proper- ly and cornes ta sec that many things are better here, lie stal- cd emphatlcally. Travel la broadenlng and the Rotary International Founda. lion la a great help in this res- pect, lie pointed out. "I live la Devonshire House in Toronto with student., from al aver tic world. Srnie are from India, otiers f rom Malaya, Hiong Kong and other places in Uic Far East," lie nid. He addcd that there are also students from different sectors of Uic Near East and parts o! Africa, South America, UtcetUnited States, and different provinces oi Canada, as wclL He told o! the Intere#tlng taîks and discussions among students of variaus nationali- tics, and the valuable know- ledge and insight about mach other gained by tiese young peaple. TIirough ncw impres- sions and thc correction af mis- taken ideas regarding certain countries lhe students owe a funther debt o! gratitude ta the Rotary Foundation, lic said. Mr. Currie aIma ave the local Rotanuans a vlvid description o! New Zealand. This country bas a population 2,250,000 peo- ple, Of Ibis total there are 140,. 000 Maoris, two thirds o! wiom arc full bloodas, the speaker said. New Zcaland Is 1,000 miles east o! Australia. It la also 1,000 miles long, and its wldth var- ies fram 100 te 150 miles, he said. He descrlbcd liii home city o! Christchurchi, and re- marked that it la laid out in the sane way as Toronto.

The Southern Alps are 12,000 feet high. 'lbey are -snow topped al year, and winter sports flour- iah there, he said. Mr. Currie also talked of the huge trees In Northern New Zealand and said they rival the famnous California redwoods in size. There are two active vol- canos there and more extinct ones. Hot springs and geysers abound, there are boiling mud pools, and warma creeks and cold creeks even run near each other, he further pointed out. The speaker alsa told of the two renowned glaciers in Sou- thern New Zealand, and des- cribed the vast rain forest. New Zealand Is a land of contrasts with plains, mountains, his and rolling country, he said. Agriculture ia the primary in- dustry, but only one third of the country is arable. In one way it is the complete opposite of Canada because the cliniate la warmer in the north, Mr. 1 Currie asserted. He told'o! the pride taken In the pasture improvement pro- gram through crop rotation, fertilization, and Improved grasses. Deer have become a pest he explained, because they cause erosion. The government pays men to shoot off deer and rabbits. Forestry is important an(i there are 40 million acres of forest land left, Mr. Currie said. He told of one great forest from which 75,000 tons o! newsprint, plus timber and pulp is derived annually, yet the growth is greater than the output. An interesting outline o! the history af the country was also given by Mr. Currie. The Ma- ori came froni either South Anierica or southeast Asia and travelled to New Zealand by canoes iii 1350, he said. The' coasts of New Zealand were explored by Cook in 1769, and traders and settiers followed. In 1840 the important treaty with the Maori was made. Plan- ned settiement began in the north island first, and then in the south later, he added. In 1845 a settiement was made by Presbyterians, and in 1850 Anglicans started the Christchurch settiement, Mr. Currie stated. He said that the people of New Zealand have the same hopes, fears and am- bitions as Canadians have. Edu- cation is free and compuisory from age five to 15. University education ià also free, he as- serted. Garnet Rickard, Warden of the United Counties, moved a vote of thani to Nr. Currie. He reminded the club member,% of thce ouder of the great Ro- tary movement, Paul Harris, and renîarked that the Interna- tional Rotarv Foundatian is a fine memorial ta him. George Vice, president af the Bowmanville Rotary'Club, also exprcsscd bis appreciation of the excellent address given by Mr. Currie. He presented the guest speaker with a gift as a souvenir o! bis visit ta lie club.
