ess-hhmuniztation ,LWork Do you remember, as a little kid, the absolute frustration of trying to learn something? \Maybe it was mnathematics. It could have been the seemingly impossible task of trying to learn ail those pages of work for a test the next day. It ail looks so simple, now, but it didn't seem so simple then. Remember the tears rolling downi your cheeks, or the time you picked up the paper, crumpled it and threw it across the roomn. If you don't remember those things, then you were lucky, because a great mrany people can, if they look back. I can remember things like that. 1 can remember how badiy I felt when I got a low mark on a test. But I can remember, too, my dad taking a look at the test and simply saying, "4Youi'll do better next time". I cani remember the confidence and support when everything seemed to go wrong. Learning can be a tough experience. We can't shelter young people from ail the difficulties it resuits in, but we certainly do need te stand beside them and give them support. In the desperation of the moment they can easiiy get the problem out of proportion and feel very discouraged, and, it takes a supporting parent or teacher to have The frustrations and concerns of the type which we had as little children are inevîtably going to show up again from time to time. It won't be the frustration of learning to tie shoes again. It will be something much more sophisticated, but it will1 be frustrating none the less. As long as we undertake new challenges, and as long as we seriously try to advance our knowledge, we are bound to run into stumbling blocks from time to time. This is true at any age, but particularly true for young adults in sehool because every day they face challenges and new learning. The only solution in surmounting the frustrations, the stumbling blocks and the concerns is to ,get them into perspective and then persist until the problem is overcomne. That is not an easy thing' to do, but when a student knows somneone is concerned, someone is cheering for them, and someone is behind themn, amnazing strides can be taken. Dr. Roy Rowsell, a physician who lîves in. the Enniskillen 'area, was guest speaker at a meetin6 ,if the Men's Canadian Club last Wednesday.

He added that medical staff do not use syringes or , needles"' in the mass- immunization program. Instead, a systemn called jet inoculation is used. Dr. Rowsell demnonstrated a jet gun whîch is capable of inoculating 1,000 persons per hour ln an assembly-line type of immunization programn. Spray leaves the gun at 700 miles pr hour and is injected directlyeinto the tissues with no neediles anid less pain than you mniglit feel fromn the traditional syringe. "There's no doubt that this bas proven to be a worthwhile instrument and a valuable instrument in the mass- immuanization program,"' Dr. Rowsell said. In bis trips to the Caribbean, Dr. Rowsell worked with a group of organizations includ- ing the Canadian Foundation for World Development, the Brothers' Brother Founda- tion, in Pittsburgh; the Rotary Club; and the Baptist World Aliance. With the aid of some slides, the guest speaker showed bis audience scenes from the Caribbean countries lie has vîsited. He noted that in many respects they are miucli like a tropical paradise. However, the social benefits there are few. But lu spite of the hardshîps and few riches, the people remain cheerful and friendly, said Dr. Rowsell.* Agriculture is the main source of incomne with fishiýng and sailing another source of wealth along with the tourist industry. The islands produce coffee,_ cocoa, breadfruit, coconuts, nutmeg, 'bananas, and other agricultural goods. As, for the future of these lands, Dr. Rowsell suggested that it 'lies chiefly with its, young people. He said the area fAs a conflict- between socialism and commiunism and there is little doubt that the people require more social benefits. He said there is a need for us to show a concerni for- the people's lot~ in life in these countries. Improving the health of the country is a small but important task, the guest speaker said. Eventually, it- will be up to the young people to make this a land where they can survive and prosper in the future. OBITUAR SHELDON R.
