CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 Dutch Fa milies Served Well By Dr. Vandermeer z The most widespread church parish this side of the nérthland is ministered to by a Whitby man, Dr. William H. Vandermeer, 218 Colborne Street West. From Dixie, Port Credit and Mimico, to Uxbridge, Brooklin and Newcastle, there are some 100 families o f Holland immigrants, mostly recently arrived, who are subscribers to, and who attend the Reformed Church in America, a protestant denomination akin to the United Church of Canada or the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Dr. Vandermeer, an 'American, quickly found that his work is much more than that of a minister. To these eager new-Canadians, he is an interpreter, lawyer, advocate, house hunter, adviser on personal problems and perhaps he has been known to lénd them a dollar or two when they are trying to become established. Tall, mic 'le-aged, scholarly -- he®-- has degrees from four universities -- Dr. Vandermeer it obviously a man with a liberal, practical out- look on life; one who is convinced that religion is integral and neces- sary to every day living. FEW KNEW ENGLISH How did he come here? There was a need. The United Church of Canada first undertook to look after the job of tending the Dutch fami- lies of this denomination who came to Canada. But because of the large nul of this denomination com- ing i: because, of - the formidable lagRuage difficulty and because the United Church was short of funds] for this" work, the Reformed Church in the United States, sent him -- from his large church in Fulton, Illinois, where he had served 15 years -- to this Toronto district. He is liking the work. And Dr. Vander- meer is liked by his people because he is a person capable of full per- ception of human needs. His roomy house was chosen partly because he wanted to have a little extra room for the people who will be coming into the district. from time to .time, without any place to stay. "The work here actually began | for me about March of this year," | said Dr. Vandermeer. "I settled in| Whitby on August 1 and now preach | twice each Sunday. At 10 in the morning in Toronto at the Central YMCA and at 1.30 in the afternoon at Brooklin. I purposely arrange to have the service half in English and 'half in Dutch. Most of the people who come to Canada know little English so it is important for them to learn quickly. In a way my ser- vice is also an English lesson. Only a few in the congregation have been in Canada as long as three years." IS BI-LINGUAL "Our denomination is about 300 years old," he continued, "and it has been established in America al- most that long." ; Born in Holland, Dr. Vandermeer came to the States at an early age. He speaks his native tongue fluent- ly and English with only a trace of accent, After secondary schooling, | he obtained a Bachelor's degree at! Rutgers, N.Y.; Master of Arts at Alma College, N.Y.; his Doctorate in Philosophy at Milton University and his theology at New Brunswick, | NJ. | Describing his relations with his | congregation, he said: "It is very necessary for someone to stand algngside these people while they become established -- to stand in between the first and second gen- eration. Of course their main handi- cap'is the language difficulty. Now we are arranging. classes which will probably be held in Broklin this fall and winter." i Asked why the Dutch people are | coming to Canada in such num- invariably comé to Canada because | of the promising future here. And| then Holland is badly ovérpopulat- | ed. It has 11,000,000 people in a! land that should not have to sup-| port more than 6,000,000. But when | they -do come to Canada they love | it and say, 'Why didn't. we come! here 230 years ago." ' MOST ARE FARMERS So far most of the Dutch nave ROOFING, INSUL-BRIC SIDING, | Lucky Seven come as farmers but an effort is| being successfully made to bring} tradesmen. It was found that it was| much easier to find housing accom- modation for farm help but when- ever a house is found In or near town, it is kept for a skilled trades- man. As for the religious work, church headquarters are in Hamil- ton and there are churches in some dozen districts: St. Catharines, Har- riston, Dunnville, Chatham, Ottawa, which have organized congregations. The local congregation, organized on May 10, 1951, as the "Emmanuel Reformed Church." It meets in the United Church at Brooklin and has all the agencies of other churches, including a Young People's Society which meets in the Whitby Town- ship Hall at Brooklin the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, : BEGIN PENNILESS The Canadian work 1s subsidised this year to be extent of $60,000, as a missionary project. "But we need $200,000," 'adds Dr. Vandermeer. That is because Dutch immigrants can bring very little money to Can- ada, even if they are well-to-do. Because it takes most of their capi- tal to find housing accommodation and get established, they have prac- tically nothing left. Moreover, they are not entitled to Dominion of Canada family allowances until they have been in residence for one year. They have to really "begin at the bottom." But the church makes the best it can of this disappointing finan- cial picture. It is well recompensed in the knowledge that a superior type of citizen has been chosen to 'Immigrate and 98% of those who come are the best type. In this large work, Mrs. Vander- meer takes an active part with her husband. At home, she is kept busy and has two fine children, Robert, 10 and William 11. A daughter 18, is presently visiting in Whitby but will be returning to the States. Whitby Classified FOR SALE--MacINTOSH APPLES, $1,10 bushel. Bring containers. Black's Orchard, 919.

Red Feather Canvassers Equipped To C .One hundred and forty volun- teer canvassers secured from the ranks of the organizations partici- pating in the Whitby Community Chest, are now completely equipped with kits containing canvass cards and all necessary information for carrying out their individual tasks. The maximum number of calls required of each canvasser is twelve. This limited number of calls should make it very easy for each canvasser to thoroughly cover his or her teritory in an efficient manner, Canvassers. have been given the authority to survey or solicit their areas in advance of the Blitz date Tuesday, October 9th. Never before has such a thorough canvass been made in the Town of Whitby. Providing each canvasser follows through with his or her in- struction, not a single house will be overlooked. From the experience of Com- munity Chest in past campaigns the canvassers are aware that more than three hundred families in Whitby derive their income from Oshawa, At least ' two hundred heads of families earn their living in other centres. To these people in particular, the Whitby Community Chest would like to point out the fact that although they derive their livelihood from beyond the town limits they are nevertheless benefitting from the services of Community Chest. A contribution from all residents of Whitby is more than a contribution, it is an investment in the social services of our Community. The executive of the Whitby Community Chest is confident that this year's objective will be reach- ed and surpassed. They are 'also proud 'that, by coincidence, the date of their campaign, October 9th also marks the arrival of our Prince and Princess in Canada.
