Dr. Hilliard attended a church service wþile he was in Peking. Of the 15 people who were on hand, only about half were Chinese. Though it has been over 30 years since there have been services of magni- tude, Dr. Hilliard noted that many Christian ethics have been adopted into socialism. He went on to say that the Buddhist temples receive many visiting Chinese tourists but worshipping is discour- aged. Industry Spread Out At one time the ratio of agriculture to industry was a out 80-20 in China but in the past few decades industr has grown tremendously. ince 1945 Dr. Hilliard estimated that manufacturing has in- creased between 250 and 400 per cent with hundreds of small plants spread out all over China. T he quality in some cases may be second rate but goal of the govern- ment is to achieve self- sufficiency for its people. The industry is owne by the government. Quotas are set, capital is provided and the overnment takes the pro- ucts to market and sells the finished goods. Male and female workers in China work on an equal basis with the exception of retire- ment ages. Men remain part of the labour force until they are 60 and women are retired at 50 years of age. Dr. Hilliard told the Ro-, tarians that he was amazed at how well the peasants and factory workers are getting on now as compared to their standard of living 30 years ago. Their homes are fairly small but well kept and the average Chinese family will save to buy bicycles, a short wave radio, a sewing machine and wrist watches. After that, the rest of their savings enerally goes into the ban k. eing free of the temptation to buy advertised products the Chinese can build their bank accounts a little more easily than people in the west can. Chinese youth are educated to go where their services are needed. After our equivalent of primary and secondary school, the students are re- quired to work for two years in a factory or on a farm before they go off to university. Though the system of raising children takes youn- sters out of the home to permit mothers to get back to work after a 51 day maternity leave, Dr. Hilliard said that he didn't think that traditional Chinese family life had been disrupted by 'the system.~He talked to some 20-year-old girls who worked a long distance from home and they told him that they travelled home by bicycle every weekend. "AI- though one might suspect that the school system would tend to break down family ties, in fact the Chinese are still very close." While in China Dr. Hilliard also toured a hospital where he watched a brain operation performed under acupunc- ture. He ex lained that the needles bloc out senses to The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, February 18, 1976 7 Me, Myself and I Deadline For Student Photo Contest Feb. 28 Though time is running out, all it takes is the click of the shutter on your Instamatic camera to get in on the Photography Gallery's stu- dent competition - Me, Myself and I.

The entries for "Me, Myself and I" will be judged in Former Missionary Doctor Tells Rotary AboutChina's Progress by'Liz Armstron Life has change ddra- matically in China since the eminent Canadian physician Dr. Irwin Hilliard served as a medical missionary there for a six year period during the Second World War. Dr. Hilliard, who was in- troduced to the Bowmanville Rotary Club as a "great teacher, a competent and compassionate doctor and a sincere missionary" present- ed an interesting commentary and slide show based on return visits to the country that he served from 1939-1945. Most of the Rotarians seem- ed surprised by the great strides the Chinese have made in terms of standard of living, housing facilities and eco- nomic and agricultural pro- gress over the last generation. Dr. Hilliard himself is amazed at the changes. On a recent trip in October, he said that he didn't see a crippled or sick child on the streets while on a three-week group trip. During his mission years, in China there had been many. Discipline seems to be the greatest asset that the com- munist Chinese have in their favor. One Indian member of the touring roup told Dr. Hilliard that i fhis nation could exhibit the same degree of organization as the Chinese, then India could progress rapidly. In fact, the Chinese are having tremendous influence on many underdeveloped societies and hundreds of delegations from third world nations visit China to have a first hand look at the develop- ments the communists have made in recent years. Many facets of life in China were reflected in Dr. Hill- iard's slides. In Peking where the grou stayed on their arrival, t e streets are broad and clean and the people well-dressed and active. Trees and flowers abound and the landscaping is excellent. Dr. Hilliard noted that foreign groups can move around without seeming to be super- vised. Mao Tse Tung's influence is everywhere. One slide showed four Chinese girls with mega- phones stationed at a stop 'ight. When the light turned red, they would quote pass- ages from Mao's Thoughts to the cyclists waiting at the intersection. purchasing the brightly decor- ated boxes, each male shared his lunch with the woman who made it.

In his own opinion, Dr. Hilliard stated that the Chinese will have to provide other types of medicine. "I am against acupuncture as a cure for everything. It has been used for all sorts of things where it isn't useful and can even be dangerous. "He cited the case of a patient suffering from stomach pains, who under treatment with acu- puncture might not be alert to seridus symptoms. in a question period thàt followed, Dr. Hilliard's slide presentation, one Rotary member asked if the Chinese are attempting to achieve zero population growth. Dr. Hilliard res onded that birth control methods such as the pill, IUD and vasectomies are ecoming widespread. He added that the Chinese don't want to.be accused of absorb- ing minorities so that there is no birth control in certain sectors of the opulation.
