Child in Vienna (Reprinted from The Telegram, To- ropto, Dee. 22, 1966.) Santa's Airlift has turned out to be a remarkable Christmas story, per- haps the most unusual of all for this year. The idea. of course, came out of the news on the front-page earlier this month, The plan was to send a Christ- mas gift to each of 5,000 Hungarian children who would be spending the birthday of the Christ Child in a re- fuge camp or other emergency ae- commodation in Austria. And this has been done. At the moment of writing, Santa's Airlift plane that left Toronto Thurs- day was expected to reach Vienna to- day although like the real Santa Claus, it was not bound to any ordi- nary time-table.

A small meeting of Cana. dian Hungarian leaders, a Red Cross representative and others, discussed the idea just two weeks ago yesterday, Not much time left then, to get par. cels made up, to arrange for a plane, to make sure that the parcels would reach the Hungarian children in time, to deal with a thousand details, It's been a modern miracle, Santa's Airlift of 5,000 Christmas parcels for children 3,000 miles away. The Hungarian community of Toronto has been outstanding in supporting Santa's Airlift, and its leaders and spokesmen supplied information and gave much other valuable help. The press of Ontario, particularly the for- | eign-language papers, and radio and television stations gave unstinting support. The Canadian Red Cross, which per- forms miracles so often that they have become commonplace, made Santa's Airlift possible by planning the con- tents of the parcels, handling, pur- chasing and packaging. That's a big Red Cross and volunteers from The Telegram staff, Next on the list who made Santa's Airlift possible was the Department of Citizenship and Immigration which is bringing Hungarian refugees to Canada in a steady flow..The Depart- ment arranged the special airplane charters from Vienna to this country to use one of the chartered planes be- ing ferried back to Vienna to carry Christmas gifts, got the airlift into the air, so to speak, Santa's Airlift plane, as Telegram readers know, was a DC-4 owned by Maritimes Central Airways, one of Canada's small and aggressive air lines. It runs regular services down "|by the Atlantic and handles charters practically anywhere. Just the air- line to handle Santa's business, The hand of God reaches out to touch children in the season of Christmas, It also touches those who help them, and there is no way to measure such reward except to say for refugee chil- job and it was done beautifully by the | and its prompt approval of a request |i dian heart at Christmas time, Thank You all- for making Santa's Airlift Such a wonderful success. It is a true example of Christianity in action. ale Health Plan hile many Canadians clamour for tationalized medicine they would not acgept the regimentation, inequalities | Britain's National Health Service, Napier' Moore writes in Maclean's magazine, 4 / nder the National Health Service, illness in the average British family "8ged no longer be accompanied by the dread of financial disaster," writes Moore, who spent several months in England studying the scheme, "but from the standpoint of the individual the plan also has its flaws."

"No political party dares to oppose the principle of nationalized medicine," says the Maclean's writer, "but if I am any judge the vast majority of Canadians aren't the sort of people who would accept with resignation the regimentation that Is an inevisal part of it."
