A ) 7 PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, MAY 15th, 1962 lil) NOTES AND COMMENTS THE BACK DOOR According to the world experts on nu- trition about two-thirds of the world pop- ulation is starving to death. Now, there was a time in world history when such a fact would have had little significance . . that is for the fraction who had plenty to eat , . and little more for the victims be- cause there was a time when starvation for the majority of people was taken to be a part of the normal course of events. To- day it is no longer true . . education, transportation and world communication has made it quite clear to the starving ones that they didn't starve . . not only that --they are beginning to believe that they have as much right to live as the next per- son regardless of his colour or his creed. They, the starving ones are beginning to realize that this world is as much theirs as anybody's. 'And, that's piling up a lot of trouble for those who eat regularly. We react to this first problem of human existence by piling up billions of dollars worth of armament and in devoting our talents to preserving an untenable position. If we were to spend as much energy and wealth in making fertile the waste places of the world . . . in spreading a philosophy of peace on earth good will to men , . most of the insoluble problems that confront us would simply disappear. Sir John Boyd Orr, world expect on the food problem of mankind, storms against such colossal stupidity and his voice-is as one crying in a wilderness. We try to get in by the back door when the front is open and inviting. NOT TO BE SURPRISED In all walks and stations of life there are those people who complain about the pre- sent great evils even in our own country of Canada. Some of them are forever lamenting the high cost of living, the ex- orbitant prices that they must pay for everything from milk to spring bonnets; others, complain about high taxes and the number is steadily growing in 'spite of the peregrinates- of Mr, Abbott; others still, and with great justification complain about the pitiful housing situation and lament the high rents for low housing and the cost of buying a home; still others deplore the waste in government . . . with ten pro- vineial governments vying with one KFed- eral government for the privilege of throw- ing away the taxpayer's money on bridges that collapse and army warehouses that go up in smoke every time a shrinkage ap- pears. All in all these people give voice to a feeling of insecurity security that has them very much troubled, A very different class looks elsewhere for its heefs -- and finds them in a dis- gruntled labour body that does not want to do an honest job . . nor work a normal week . . in union leadership that dictates to both workers and bosses . . .and these people too, in their own way are troubled. In this country we devote about $70,000,- 000 to church work ; $500,000,000 to liquor; --in this country we eke out some $300,- 000,000 for education and throw away al- most twice that on gambling. In this country we raise some $80,000,000 for charitable purposes but spent two and one- half billion on arms and the equipment of war, . . We should not be surprised then that we have social problems--nor surprised (hat these social problems are of some signifi- cance. As a matter of fact we should in the light of facts be absolutely astounded that our country is as good a place as it is. acy left by Mr. Morrow. When com- Honeydale W. I. | On Wednesday, May 7, about 33 women, members of Honeydale Wo- men's Institute, enjoyed a very pleas- - ant trip to Peterborough. Upon their arrival in Peterborough at 10 o'clock they began an interesting and infor- mative tour of the plant of the Quak- er Oats Company. Since these pro- ducts are well known, each person was interested to see the way they are made. For example, the slogan for Quaker Puffed Wheat is "The Puffed Wheat 'Shot from Guns". The wo- men were amused to see that this was literally true, because, although there were actually no guns, a bang like the report of a gun was to be heard when the wheat, which was being toasted, reached a certain tempera- ture. : There were many other things to be seen on the tour such as the cut- ting and stamping of the flour bags, the rapid and efficient packaging of e cereals and the preparation of the Aunt Jemina Cake Mixes. Before leaving the factory each woman was presented with a complimentary pack- age of Quaker Muffets. ? After an hour's shopping, the wo- men gathered at the large and heauti- ful home of Mrs..Oake for lunch. Mrs, Oake served tea and delicious cookies to supplement the picnic lunches the women had brought from home. A short meeting was then held dur- ing which it was decided to send a donation to the Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind. Mrs. Cawker gave a report on the meeting of the film board. Also a bus will be chart- ered to attend the District Annual meeting 'which will be held in Ajax on May 22. Any members wishing to go, please contact Mrs. Spencer or Mrs. Moase before May 19. It is hoped a large number will find it con- venient to attend. The bus will leave [ 8.30, Besides the President and / the ' District Director, Mrs. Cawker, Mrs. Diamond and Mrs. Brunton were appointed to be voting delegates. Din- ner will be served by the Ajax people. The June meeting, to bé held at Mrs. Bryant's, will take the form of a luncheon. There will also be an ex- change of slips of house plants. Dr. Ralph Honey, a former resident of Honeydale, and brother of our pop- ular president, Mrs. Hardy, addressed the meeting for a few minutes. He mentioned several interesting things to notice about Peterborough City Hall which the group visited immed- {ately after the meeting. The construction of the city hall had béen begun as a result of a leg- Lions' Summer Dances . Ld i op is A inp 4 a pleted however, the cost had Feached almost one million dollars. One of the outstanding features was the floor of the vestibule which was a large, col- oured, marble map of Peterborough and surrounding district. The women were impressed by the modern; spa- cious building which contains many departments such as the city police and departments for testing milk and water. In the.courtroom some of the more adventurous ladies. tested the Judge's chair for comfort. Upon the conclusion of this tour the ladies left for home. The ladies would like to thank Dr. Ralph Honey who kindly arranged both tours; Mrs. Oake who graciously opened her home for the meeting; Mr. Hope who con- ducted the tour through the city hall and Mr. DeNure who obligingly drove them from place to place. The community of Honeydale would like to extend best wishes to Mrs. Me- Rae (Gladys Gillies) on her recent marriage. Sunday visitors at Harold Honey's were Mrs. Lea Honey and son Donald of Welland, and Dr, Morley Hardy, his wife and children. Mr. and Mrs, Mervin Annis spent Sund#y with Mrs, Lawson Honey. Mrs. Frank Honey is spending 2 weeks in Barrie with her sister, Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Hardy is spending a few days at Pettawawa. mee Afternoon Auxiliary The meeting of the Afternoon Aux- iliary of the Woman's Missionary So- ciety of the United Church was held at the home of Mrs. George Holmes, and was opened by president Mrs, Thompson. The Supply Secretary reported a large relief bale ready for overseas, Mrs. Wylie and Mrs, McMillan had charge of worship period. ; "Miss Helen Willard favoured with a very beautiful instrumental Graduate from Ryerson TWO PORT PERRY YOUNG MEN GRADUATE FROM RYERSON Edward Griffen and Robt.
