"117 Children Live In One Hovel By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent Christchureh, NZ. -- (CP) -- A startling account of conditions in the Chathams, a small group of islands which lie about 500 miles to the east of the South Island of New Zealand, and which are an in- tegral part of the Dominion, was given 'recently by Dr, G, T. Davies, who has spent the past year as res- ident medical officer there. The isl- ands, which are cold and bleak, are inhabited by a few hundred res- idents, mostly Maoris. Housing in the Chathams, Dr. Davies sald, is the poorest he has ever seen. The native houses, in most cases, are hovels, small and over-crowded, with a few sticks of furniture. es are used for lighting and the houses are badly ventilated, sometimes leaky and without baths or latrines. 'We had encountered evidence of sexual and other anti-social tend- encies which were disquieting. The rate of illegitimacy was high. Such things appeared to be known and accepted by the people. generally . | Wife-beating was apparently fre- quent, Families were usually large. In one family there were 17 children in one house. Six of them slept in three single beds in a room eight . | feet square without window ventlla- tion. Interbreeding was astonishing, Dr. Davies sald.

Why can't we make up and give him an interesting time? He's never able to recognize anyone outside the classroom." And so when the one-time cor- rect professor left his house he was recognized in spite of his ragged clothes and false whiskers. A dozen ill-assorted young toughs kept pace behind him. . His steps led toward the section of the city where he might find his "lower element." He walked past dingy houses and peered into cheap 'shops and pool halls. Fin- ally, one place, kept dimly lighted on pu e, and scattered with tables, seemed a good setting for his purpose. He went to a table in a back corner. Men and women, dressed poorly, flashily or biz- wness of -| zarely sat around. Several couples were dancing. Now and then a bottle passed around. Here and there a man looked hard at him. He retreated into his menu card. But they wouldn't scare him, though. Then the woman came in. the room. Oh, | boy! wouldn't this be rich? Imma- | was g righ him!

Whe, if it weren't for the paint an ugly glasses she'd be al- most pretty. Her hands were ex- quisitely formed. But her speech! She was positively illiterate. He talked as much e her as he could. She must think him one of her class, else inhibitions would arise in her and prevent her giv- ing him a true picture of her ideas, personality and point of ew. + He bisama so interested In her that hé did not notice a dozen young toughs who came in shortly after him. When he did look to- ward them it was then they started to roughhouse the place. A great thrill went over the pro- fessor. My! Such opportunities, such color and rawness. But the fight was getting seri- ous now. And it was coming to- ward them. Curses, shrieks, break- ing crockery made a bedlam. Ha 'looked wildly for an exit. Then he thought of the girl. "Come!" grabbing her by the arm. "I must get you out of here." But by this time the struggling figures were upon them, Awk- wardly, but with force and without hesitation, the professor started hitting out, trying to shield the girl. Then one of the 'toughs" made a path for him somehow and shouted: "Get t'hell out!" (He himself was having a much harder time than he had anticipated.) He and the girl went out the back door just as the cops came in the front. They ran down the alley to the street and Stopped, . "Phew!" mopping his brow, "that was an authentic--" " But he remembered himself in time. "That was a damn hot scrap." He blushed behind his whiskers at the word. Then he looked at her again. She was beautiful. Her glasses were one and the daubs of paint much ess conspicuous. - otta be goin'," she said. "Th fer th' food an' gettin' me outa there." The professor looked after her, his thoughts in a turmoil. He could not sleep that night. If only she were some one else. If she were only not in the lower class. All night he thought it out, and by morning he knew fe didn't ive a hoot. (He did not blush is time, either.) He loved her. At a certain girl's college in the same city a young Inetructress, beautiful without dabs of paint and heavy glasses, was talking to her class in sociology. #------There no fundamental difference in our so-called lower classes. I found this out myself. One man in particular to whom I talked is just as intelligent and as chivalrous as any man in the world." which there appeared to be undue incidence. The main foods were meat and potatoes, augmented sometimes by swan eggs and fish, In spite of pleadings by successive medical of- ficers few families had made any effort to grow other vegetables or fruit. Even potatoos once planted were ignored until they were crop- ped. The land was highly fertile, yet a big family would do without milk all winter through sheer lazi- ness, Through the introduction of the New Zealand soclal security pay- ments, some breadwinners had ceas- ed work altogether and lived on un-' employment and family benefit pay- ments, As there was virtually no social life or recreation the islanders had developed a penchant for parties lasting all night. A wedding or a funeral had become an excuse for at least three days' debauchery in the small crowded shacks. Small children were brought into an at- mosphere of drunkenness and im- morality, : Church In Paris Sports Elevator Paris, (Reuters). -- A vacuum cleaning system and an elevator are features of the newest church in Paris--the church of St. Odile de Champerret--recently consecrated.

Many could find no work because they were 45 or 50 years of age or older, Six months later, 8,000 of them had jobs. Six months from now, the chances are that total will be considerably larger. story worth telling. Briefly, it may be said that those 8,000 men were put to work be- cause an interlocked gystem is op- erating now to find them work. The Department of Veterans' Af- fairs tackled the problem last spring when it was confronted, first, by the swollen and 'swelling num- bers of unemployed older veterans and, second, by the seemingly deep inclination on the part of employers to hire youth for any and every job. A thrice-wounded, twice - decor- ated First Great War infantryman, a full-fleged Colonel in the Second Great War, cy J. Philpott, O.B. E., MC., D.CM., of Saskatoon and Montreal, was' given thé job. Bas- ically, his job was to slash those swollen statistics. \ A wartime survey indicated that roughly 48,000 veterans of the First Great War served again in the Second, 18,000 of them in the Vet- erans' Guard, Of that total rough- ly 50 per cent were due for émploy- ment difficulties on discharge. In March, more than 12,000 older veterans were registered as out of work - and within the next six months the Veterans' Guard. dis- charged another "3,000 men. 2 Col, Philpott based his arguments '| on simple logic: Canada must eith- er put these men to work or pen-* sion them off at a cost of millions of dollars a year. The problem for the employer was either to hire them or keep them by paying heav- fer taxes. He argued, too, that there is no reason why men over 45 can't be bank messengers, doormen, elevator operators, chauffers, guards, hall porters, janitors, store detectives. The federal government has tackled as the first major objective. In August, the Treasury Baqard authorized government depart- ments to enter contracts with the Canadian Corps of Commission- aires to fill such position as these mentoned, outside the provisions of the Civil Service, In consequence, the uniformed Commissionaires have taken over the job of guard- ing 35 public buildings in Ottawa, replacing the R.CM.P.,, - have be- come chauffeurs at Naval Head- quarters, guards elsewhere. One of the corps' chief argu- ments is that it contracts for the job itself and solves the employer's Placements problem of selection of a man. When one Commissionaire leaves the particular job, another takes over. In six months its list of em- ployees has jumped from 1,200 to 6,000 and it is gunning for 10,000. In Toronto recently, within half an hour, R, W. Barton, veterans' employment adviser of the National Employment Service convinced a bank it should hire six older veter- ans rather than girls to act as mes- sengers, and then got another six of these veterans jobs as car park attendants. .In Montreal, three organizations are co-operating, They are the Montreal Employers' Council, the Senior Citizens' Association of Ca- nada and the 40 Plus Club. They are all interested in the same ob- jective and are stressing the prob- lems of the white collar class. The 40 Plus Club was launched by W. E. Paxton, once a man ob- tains a job through the club, he Joins it himself and tries to help others, One of the obstacles to the suc- cess of the overall plan is the fact that in some cases it means that a young veteran is put out of work. Here, too, Col. Philpott's' answer is blunt and simple: Young veter- ans shouldn't be in such dead end jobs or eventually they, too, will be- come economically insolvent in their old age. He argued that the state has established broad facilities to train and rehabilitate those men and that such jobs cannot be con- "| strued as effective rehabilitation. The Quality Tea ¢ ORANGE PEKOE Wind-Swept Isle Is Doubtful Buy John O'Groat's House, Scotland-- (CP)--Want to buy a 1,000-acre island, complete with church and manse, school, post office and 45 tenanted crofts -- for £3,500 ($14,~ 000) ? Stroma, 2% miles off John O'Groat's in stormy Pentland Firth between the mainland and the Orkneys is for sale. Fisherman James Simpson thinks it might be a good place for a poli- ticlan to retire to, but that's about the brightest he can say about it. He thinks the present generation will be the last on the island. "Many young Stroma men and women were in the forces during the war," he said. "Now they're de- mobbed they want to live on the mainland. Even if they come back, it's becoming increasingly difficult to make a living on Stroma." There are few children now in the little school and the churech has no resident minister, The main industry is fishing for cod and lobsters. The 120 residents raise most of their own food and many also weave their own clothes. In bad. weather a fine salt spray covers the island--believed locally to be the cause of the islanders' longevity. Modern conveniences are some- thing Stroma doesn't know. There is one small shop but its stock is small and narrow. Peat is the usual fuel and oil lamps provide light. Tales of pirates, smugglers and ancient Norse see kings go with Stroma, as do stories of shipwreck- ers in the days before the modern lighthouse was built on the rocky point. North of the island is the Swelchie of Stroma, dangerous whirlpool into which many small vessels have been sucked and lost. N. H. CRO 1022 SIMCOE ST. NORTH, OSHAWA, ONT.
