In Hiroshima They Hope And Prayl it is quite nattiaral, of course, -that Hirosimaý-i, of al cities- in the xorld, should be thec- nn which displays the greatest in- terest in when, where, and by whom the neLxt nulear testing perform-ances will take place. The citizens of Hiroshima, al- most down ta the' last persan, hiave powerfuil and uinquenchi- able urges toward peace. They, organize. They sng. They pray. They demonstrate by marching& si'ngle--file in sulent, snakelike lines. In foreîgni eyes, the,; might be considered ta have a faniatic fear of nuclear fallout. But toaa single American who has lived inHrohm and who has been forced ta accompany several dif- ferent A-aves of visitors thro-ugh the hauniting and explicit evi- dence of the effects of an atomr bomrb in Hiroshlima'sý Peace Mu- seun, the fear somnehow does nat seem 50sofanatic. Most Amnericani visitors camec- ta Hiroshima with a certain un- eRsiness, They are usuially quite 5wupri sed. "But there are sa mrany trees!" they exclahm. "I dlidn't expect so much greenery mind foliage." "ýIt's onipletely rebui.1t," they xnotice. "It's just as if theire had neyver been-" and their vaices trail off.

"I don't think they'ra nef en- rinig ta any paticular group or niationi," I1 saidi. "I think thay just mnean humnnity i genienat" One necently eracted monu- ment in the park is dedicatad ta al the chiidren wha' died ither during the blast or iter, froin the effects of it. It is dedicat4èd with particular reference, -how- ever, ta one littie girl who, ne- cording ta legend, thaught that if she ,,folded 1,000 paper crane.s in the ori'gamni pnper-folding- styla which i*s familiar to ail Japanese, she woui,Àd nat dia. She sat in ber hospitl bad fclding furiously, but' she was, unable ta completa, the task before her death. Sa her ciassntes f'irished it for her, writes Dorathy Stroup in h C-hristiaýn Science Monitor, They folderd relentlessiy and unreittenitly, and today they hava been jained by other chul- dren fram aill over Japan. Thou- sands upon thousands cf papen cranes are hanging- beneath the ChiiÎdren's Monument in the Park. In Japan, at least, the folded crane bas replaced Picas- so's dove as a synbal af peace. The cildreni themselves, some of them high sehool age an--ai-er have organized the Folded Crane Society, They continue ta foid cranes which they sali for monay to help aai victîms wha ara, still in the haspital. They par- f arm variaus athar philanthropie tarsks having ta do with bamb victims. They hava the customn of flying thea flng of Japan ta- gether with their own Falded Crane Sociaty flag an n pole near t-he Childreni's Monument. When the Soviet Uniion an- nouncad that it wouid resume nuclear testing, the Folded Crane Society promptly displayed a So- viet flag, flying at half-mnast and accompaniad by a black crepe papar streamer. And 'when Presi- dent Kennedy announiced relue- tantiy that thera was no othar choice but ta rasume under- ground testing, the Foided Crane Society axtanded its unspokanx condamnation by dacarating the American flag with a black streamner and h-oisting ît next ta the Sovet ana. Bath are rather large flags, and it is an unsettling sight ta see thamn thare, hanging halfway up the pale, sporting their black streamers. Bath seem ta be beat- ing out their uinheard arguments against the wind like twa prison- ers in the *village square wîth ther hands lockad in the stocks, bhoutrng their abjections ta un- âymnpathetie passers-by.

MISS TEEN-AGE AMERICA - Miss Dione Lynn Cox, 17, was winner of the Miss T-een -age A'mericai Pageant. She stands with second place winner, Holly Maie Shick, right, 17. The pageant was he!d in Da!iacs Ar.n I ever haippy! During thei sumnmer I made an afghian. It w.as my smnall contribution to- wards a fund-raising campaign for our local hospital. Thýe hos- pital W.A. and our branch of thte Wl .supplied fthe money - anld 1 supplied the work. 1I might add it took me three months ta moake and required $20 worth of -wool, Then we sold tickets on it for a lucky draw. And do you know that afghan brought in $168! So why wouldn't I be happy? The draw took place at a "Country Fair" arganizeç. by the. W.A. Ail kinds off country pro-, duce was affered for sale - fruit, vegetables, hoan ey, hornemade park sausage, eggs, cakes, pies, bread, aprons, stuffed toys, flow- ers, cut and patted, and a table of white elephants. The hall was very attractive - fruit and vege- tables stacked up an the floor FAIR LADY - Princess Le. Rodziwill, Jacqueline Ken- nedy's% sister, radiates charmn as she heips opene the Chelsea fail aniques fair in London, in the centre cf the roamn, a stuffed parrat in a bird cageý hungý over the platform and a simuflated beehive was set amnrg the cans of boney. 0f course, the whole affair was a tremnendous lot of work - these thingIsala- ways are - but our comrbined efforts did bring in a f air amount of money, I thought 1 would give you ahl the mnain details as new ideas for, raising money are usually w-elcome in almost any district. Andi now just ane more word about the.f- an Many people exclaimed at the fact that 1 had done it all myself and that il miust have been a terrifie under- taking. Well, mraybe . . . but ta mne ià was not work sa I feel 1 don't deserv7e to much credit5 Al those littie crochet squares bad been made durîng the lave- ning while watching T.V. 1 al- waýys feel guilty if I spend taa rnuch time in front of the televi- sion doing nothing. But if my handis are occupied - weli, that's another storY. The winter wîli soon be wt us once again. May- be yau know somieane la your local organizations whio wauld be glad ta help yenu mise funds in just thiat way - or mayba yau, yourself, are gaaod at crochet or knitting. Il is nice pick-up work for anyonie, but particulariy gaod for a semni-convaiescent. If the bands are occupied the mind bas less time for self-pity - in wbich tac many of us are apt ta indulga after a periad af invalidism. Any handwark requiras a certain-- ama-iunt of concentration - and thus reliaves constant attention bo one's acheýi and pains. Now I've dispensed witb end of the week activities î'11 go back ta the beginning. Monday night we had a bevy of visitars, amnong them my sister-in-law who was returning ta spend ber last twa days with us before gaing back ta Engiand.

Thera miust Ihave been close ta a hundred guests as tlhere was onie chairtered -od and about a dazen filled cars - and the house wasn't even codd We had a marvellous timne ai- though we gat lost three tim-es trying ta find the pla:e. Our bus- driver naturally knew the wyto) f md the place. Our bu's-driveýr naturaill _knilew th(_ way ta Stouffville bout this house wvas away off the beaten traclc, across back, concessions a nd along wooded roads. Some of the me-- bers had been, before a-ý-d were quite sure they would know the way. But yau know how it is - ane narrow cauntry road looks much lie anather -- and semni- darkness makes identification even mare confus.ing.

Maybe ha waýýs sayig ta bimiself -- "These wamo-ien!" but he didn't show.ý the least sign of imcpatience. We arrived rearly an hour late and beliava me we wvere ready for the delightful buffet supper that had been, pre- pared for, Our enjayment. That nighit I stayed at Dee's and took the f irst bus home in the mýoring. The rest of the day was taken up in last minute chat- ter as Queenie prepared far her return .flight. Bob and famnily, and Partner and I went ta Mal- ton ta see her off. From the Obser vation roof w-e vtched as the giant Jet revved Up ready for take-off. The heat was terrifie and the exhaust fumeus stung Our eyes. Then she began ta mOve and in a matter of seconds was up in the air, her twinklîng iights soon lost ta sight. Queenie's 1visit ta Canada iwas andedi, For 17 days she had visited friends 3,000 miles from home.,N 1 suppose ,she is.visiting wi't othler friends in lEngland, nio doubt re- lating lher experiences in Can- ada.
