George Telford, pastor of the church, presided and gave some interesting details of Bella-Bella. The Rev. J. V. McNeely, M.A. B.D., pastor of King Street United Church, gave the audience some interesting information about Miss Schell's new kork. Bella-Bella (wirich means beautiful-beautiful) is a village on Campbell Island, with a mixed population of about three quarters Indian people and one quarter white people. 'The speaker also mentioned the out- standing work of Dr. George Darby, who is an ordained minister, a kind physician, and a skilled surgeon, with whom Miss Schell will be working.

ALDWINCKLE Severed from their past, fac- ing a hopeless future, the old and sick among the displaced per- sons of Europe pass their com- fortless days in mute apathy. The healthy ones in camps are making the most of their half-starved lives. They have churches, schools, study groups for men and women, even a theatre, and when the armies of occupation leave they will be able to contin- ue the mode of existence that has been organized for them, But who will care for the aged and inval- id? What will happen to the thousand consumptives that even now have no hospital or special care? Miss Amelia Prentice who was in Oshawa yesterday has just come from Klagenfurt, Austria, wherc she is a welfare officer with the International Refugee Organization and the picture she paints of these forlorn people tugs at the heart strings, "The curbing of tuberculosis and the care of those already prey to the dread disease is an immediate problem," she said, "and partly my reason for being here, The disease has taken hold due to overcrowding, malnutri- tion, suffering and hardship." Cold And Comfortless There is no hospital for these patients. They live in a barrack-- unheated and without running water, As the pipes freeze, even patients in advanced stages are forced to use outside conveniences, There is no special food for them --no clothes, no extra bedding, towels or linen, Civilization may well be ashamed of their plight. But civilization is a loose cloak; it slides easily off the shoulders. What are we, who inhabit a land of milk and honey, doing for these unfortunates? They are not the dregs of hu- manity, They are the brave men and women who faced the fear- ful odds, and held on in the name of Freedom, Not for them the swift clean end by fire or bullet, but a slow dying misery, Miss Prentice is returning in the first week of the new year. She wants to take back a trunk- ful of comforts to these pitiful cases. She herself will pay excess baggage charges and take a trunk across Europe as her personal luggage, Can we fill the trunk? In it she would like powdered milk, oxo cubes, cocoa and the packaged chocolate drinks that are already sweetened and need but hot water, towels, wash cloths, toothbrushes, paste and soap, Any item, no mater how small addressed to Miss Amelia Prentice would be most grateful- ly received at the Y.W.C.A, in Oshawa, The eed is urgent and immediate Can you afford to .of 1946 the population of this . i surgeon performs the same work on | medical art.

Miss Schell expressed her sincere appreciation for the gifts and said she did not know how so many people could keep a secret. The soloist, Mrs. E. G. Storie sang the Polish carol, "Infant Holy" and an Appalachian Carol, "I Wonder as I Wander,' accompanied by Mrs. Cecil Warden. 'The meeting closed with prayer by the Rev. A. D. Cornett, M.A, DD. OBE, pastor of Simcoe Street United Church. Miss Schell greeted the audience as they passed to the chapel where refreshments were served with Mrs. J. V. Mca Neely and Mrs. George Telford pouring tea. The Rev. T. H. P. Anderson, pas tor of Centre Street United Church, expressed the apprecation of the gathering and of the committees in charge, thanking in particular the Evening Auxiliary (Jessie Panton) members and their president, Miss Grace Anderson, for their co-opera- tion and hespitality. Mrs. George Schell, mother of the guest of honor, also expressed her gratitude.. This event will be a happy memory and a strong link between Oshawa and Bella-Bella Hospital, B.C.

An old stable has been turned into a church, a barn into a thea- tre where plays and ballet are produced. Scout troops and Guide companies have been organized by Miss Prentice, But all these things take energy, and the mea- gre ration does not afford enough calories for any extra expendi- ture, A serving of soup, a piece of black bread, maybe a cup of cof- fee and sometimes a potato would be an average day's ration, with meat once a week on Sunday. They have no milk, eggs or fruit, and little sugar. They are always hungry, especially the teen-agers, many of whom are orphans. Misg Prentice paid high trib- ute to Dr, Pierre Clement, the area Medical Officer at Klagen- furt, Despite his ill-concealed dis- illusionment on arriving at head- quarters, he has undertaken this tremendous fask with vigour, yet is kind and sympahetic, He wants accommodation for his patients. He wants a little comfort, food and cleanliness for them.
