I guess I shall neyer see the Ontario I love again unless 1'm asked to corne here again by special request, at which time I may consider coming back", she said in an interview Friday. "Until two montihs aga, I thought I would neyer be able to face leaving, but now that I'm on my way, it is with a feeling of relief, knowing that we are moving into a muc.h wl- der field." Air Ticket Donated Her air ticket ta the west was given to her by an anonymous donor, Mom stated andl her staff, which includes 12 aduits and 15 children is prepared to leave WIIytehaven in about two weeks. They will travel, she said, by bus, car and truck and stop at cîties or towns over- night on their way out, andi will ask permission ta have overnight accommodation ini churches, and a place ta pre-1 pare hot meals for the children.i "When we arrive in B. C. wei are prepared ta rough it untilii such time as we can get properi buildings and facilities set up.1 The Lord wil'l always provide for us. He has neyer let us down yet. Mission Already Operating E When asked if she had anyE idea if the B.C. wehfare auth-t orities would allow her to op-t erate she said that she had t heard B. C. Atterney General Robert Banner had issued a r statement that there is no law tI in B. C. ta prevent her operat-g ing a mission in that province.0 There is, she said, a mission op- e erating in the province new, t known as Boy's Town, similar ta Whytehaven. This home is apparently located on the high- s way between Penticton and S' Vancouver but 'Mom'e Whyte couldn't remember exacthy S. where.h "We are not going ta B.C. to ' t( evade the laws, because we are f perfectly law-abiding citizens.c We are going ta get away froin people who make the laws. We behleve the government in B.C. [s a Christian government. Here I it is definitely a religiaus and u~ palitical issue", Mom, said. o "In all the years I have been in Ontario, we have always vo- ted Conservative,"l but she fail- ed ta answer when asked if she would change her politics ta Sa- .ial Credit in B.C. When asked what she thought about the government in On- taria she replie-d, IlWell, what do you think, when it won't allow a Christian mission ta op-. erate?"

Others Want To Go "In the more than 10 years we have been operating Whyte- haven here, we have saved the governrnent of the province oi Ontario hundreds of thousands of dollars. Eighiteen years aga we came here with nathing but four boys. "Already I've had two 'phone cahîs fromn families wanting ta .g with us. It looks like we're net the anhy cnes wbo want ta get out cf Ontario. It breaks my heant ta think of ail the people in Ontario wbo will be needing help, and there will be no Whytehaven here ta help them."l "Whytehaven Is not sold yet, but is stili in the hands of real estate agents. We have had one offer sa far from a mission op- erating like ours in the Toron- ta area. They want ta expand their activities and are willing to register. "The furniture we will net be needing is now being sold, and the proceeds from the sales wil ga immediatehy, after our $12,- 000 debt is paid off, into, the construction of our new facili- ties out west. Additional Missions "In addition ta gaing te Nel- son, we are.definitely gaing ta start another mission in Penn- .ylvania some day and we also lape te start a branch in India.
