While Guest Speaker Tells Of Hungarian Rebs Hardships { Mrs. Douglas Jennings, Queens 1 Own Rifles Chapter, LLO.D.E., Toron- to was guest speaker at the March meeting of Scugog Chapter. 'About 50 guests and members were present. The Regent Mrs, W. T. Harris called Mrs. Sprague of Ashburn to introduce the speaker. Because of her splendid work in the Conadianization and IT mmigration Department of LODE, Mrs. Jenn- ings was asked by our Government to : e-Austrian Hungarian border as a non political, non sectarian observer. Her passage was provided in an un- heated transport plane. Her expenses were not paid by any organization or government, Her. financial affairs "were entirely her own. After avrivng at a_ small border "town and making her contacts, Mrs. | Jennings went at nights with her guide to the spot where many Hun- garians crossed the border and began looking for help. The first requisite was sleep and warm dry clothes, for these people had usually come through rivers or swamps and were mentally and physically exhausted. The shelter to which the refugees were brought was a small one room schoolhouse. The people slepted on the floor which was covered with straw and matting of old gilts. "Contrary to the adults need for rest was the babies need to be kept awake, for in most cases people with babies had had to keep them dru- gged so they wouldn't ery out and re- veal the fleeing parents. Some babies had died because they had not been kept roused sufficiently after large amounts of sedative had been admin- istered, ' The one roomed school was the first haven in a long line of camps and in- terrogation periods and interviews on the road to freedom and a new countey a fresh start. The great need is that we as Canad- ians take care of our share of these hewcomers who are seeking a new life within our Dominion.

Local Soldier With RCAF i in France Teaches Hungarian Refugee METZ, France, Feb. 28 Sergeant Arthur James, of Port Perry, a mem- ber of the Royal Canadian Dental Corps here at the RCAF's NATO Air Division Headquarters, never expect- ed he would teach basic English and Canadign geography, to a Hungarian But he's been holding such weekly off-duty sessions since the new year when he met 18-year-old Jossef Kohn in the home of his French land- lady. Lefugee. The young Hungarian was one of 'wo refugees from the Metz camp whom the Frenchwoman invited to New Year's dinner, In conversation with them she learned that Jossef was slated to go to Canada and, remem- bering her Canadian tenants, she troduced him to Sgt. James and his wife, Pauline. The only difficulty they spoke no Hungarian and Jossef didn't know a word of English. As Art explained it: "After an evening of gestures and frustrated discussion, we dug up the fact that he was going to Hamilton, But just at that point, Jossef suddenly noticed it was almost nine o'clock--the curfew hour at the refugee camp--and he had to leave. In the rush, though, we managed to let him, know that he was to come back bid dinner the next week." On the young refugee's next visit, the James' could see he was very hap- py to be going to Canada and want- ed to find out all he could about the country. So once again, with e¢lo- quest gesturing, Art got to see Kohn's passport and papers and discovered the youth had a sponsor, a Mr. rank Losoneski, who lived near Hamilton, By means which defy any language barrier, they ascertained that the lad had worked on river boats and wished to know if such work might he pos- sible in his new homeland. He beamed happily upon learning that Hamilton was located right on the Great Lakes, Set. James then conveyed the fact that he would write the Hamilton man and verify what was happening at that end. Ile also got the happy in- spiration of digging out old xews- papers and magazines which contain- ed typically Canadian pictures, espec- ally those taken aréund the Hamilton area. in- I"celing that the Hungarian teen- ager wishing to learn more about Can- ada and could do with a home-cooked meal, the James' invited him back the following Sunday. During the intervening week, Art consulted the Division Headquarters Roman Catholic Chaplain Flight Lieut. PMA. Forgues of St. Granby, Que. The day the Padre "wrote the Hamilton family on behalf of young Jossef, weeks the Hamiltonians replied, en- closing a snapshot and asking that they be advised when and where the lad would arrive him.) Alphonse de same so they could meet # refreshments were served by the Fx- ecutive. A collection for Hungarian Relief amounted to $38.00. Members See Impressive Conor On Wednesday, March 6th a group of Tadies from the Scugog Chapter, 1.0.D.E. was privileged to attend the ceremonies at the Court House, Whit- by, when a group of 76 people were granted their citizenship papers by Judge John Prichard. he dignity of the proceedings was impressive.

James and his guest "petting through" to each other it proved very slow, tedious process. Then, as Art put it, "after dinner one night we started an English elass." Heé would point to some household item or common-place article in a illustration and write the Finglish word for them. Jossef would fil in the Hungarian. When the 9 o'clock zero hour approached they had compiled a list of 160 basic words from "shoelaces" to "barbershop." Each consecutive visit has consisted of a review, some new words and, of course, more information about Can- ada, One day late in February, Jossef arrived, proudly displaying a Cana. dian visa and with the information that his sailing date would be around the end of April. Since Art finishes his overseas tour early this summer, the James' and their Hungarian friend are already discussing a reunion. This nmarazing will probably take place when Art and Pauline visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mel. James, of Port Perry. However, until Jossef leaves for Canada, the English and geography lessons will continue. Sut.
