TUESDAY, DECEMBER, 18, 1951 fHE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE "PAGE THIRTEEN Youth Escapee Saga Says All Poles Want to Flee Everybedy would like to get out of Poland, writes Ann Sir Cordwell in The Christian Science Monitor. So a reporter in Stockholm for the newspaper Dziennik Polski, pu- blished in London, was told by Po- lish youths who was 'escaped and received asylum in Sweden. The fu- gitives this year, said the reporter, are almost without exception young men, mostly between 19 and 22. They are sailors from the mer- chant marine or navy or young fishermen. During the five months ending last October, roughly seventy of these Polish seamen had taken re- fuge in Sweden. Practically all the fugitives are country youths. PARTY LINK IN NAME ONLY In formation gathered in inter- views with a group of 30 Polish escapees showed that membership in the Polish Communist Party was taken as a matter of course, "like wearing a necktie." But as- sociation with the party or with the Polish Youth Association they regarded as intolerable, taking time young people could use more advantageously. Nobody, they say, listens to the tiresome speeches made at the meetings. Communist teaching was de- scribed as faulty and vague, de- pending mostly upon endlessly re- peated slogans and phrases. While that may suffice for the vast ma- jority, there obviously are young - Poles--the estimate varied from 5 to 10 per cent of the youth popu- lation--who take the opportunist view and are trained by the party, then are sent to serve as "activ- ists" in other areas. Such young men are quietly dropped by former associates. As for relations with the church, none of the interviewed admitted atheistic leanings or anticlerical feeling. They might have learned antireligious slog: and on occa- sion used them, when it seemed advisable, but that did not mean that they did not go to church or thought churchgoing the wrong thing to do. However a significant number did not attend church services because the youths had so little time for themselves; the party compelled attendance on its organization meetings and the church did not. FAMILY TIES STRAINED The family, the young escapees reported, still holds together, but the party and the necessity for wo- men to work outside the home are endangering solidarity. In the rural areas, which these young men know, there is still recognition of the mother as the moral authority in the home, the father as head of the family, though parents very seldom can help their children in a material way. People are extremely cautious in their talk, freer in conversation in a crowd, but always on guard and ready to give warning. Spies and informers' are numerous, but it is relatively easy to recognize them, especially in small commu- nities, In their relations with the gov- ernment, the party, the secret police, the regular police, and tne trade unions, the people are, as it were, united in a secret union of defense against these institution The duty to help mutually is re- cognized, and any means of de- fense is considered admissible. Thi is an area in which young people have unbounded confidence in them- selves. Sometimes, of course, they make mistakes and fail; if they do, they say it is just too bad, and that is all. 'WE' AND 'THEY' SPLIT For all the interviewed the word Soviet, Russian, party member had the same meaning--powerful enemy These youths divide the world into two camps--"we" and "they" = "they" being the Soviets or Russia who hold Poland in servitude. The youths continue to think in te rms parties. The officials in the regime are regarded merely as figure- heads, only a part of "them," and get little attention. It appears to be the general Polish conviction that only war will free Poland of the Soviets. Po- land belongs to the West, but it cannot belong because of 'Soviet occupation." Contrary to assertions of the Communist leaders. Polish youths contue to think in terms of nationality and rarely of universal socialism. While Polish youths of today have little memory of pre- war Poland, they strongly resent the present propaganda vilifying their country's recent past and in- sist that the pre-1939 years were much better than now. Although almost all the young men interviewed had listened to Polish broadcasts from abroad, they remembered the names of only two Polish leaders in exile-- Gen. Wladyslaw Anders and Stan- islaw Mikolajeyk. Of the 30 young men interviewed a considerable number stated that Mr. Mikolajczyk's influence had waned, that he no longer "counted General Anders, on the other hand. seems taberegarded asthe central figure among the Poles abroad,and some who believed that the Polish army he commanded during the war is stil lin existence.

Ebenezer News Notes MRS. BLAKE OKE Correspondent Ebenezer. -- As another year is coming to a close I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those, who have helped to make interesting reading and in any way sent me news for this corner, to ex- tend best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Miss Arnold, teacher at No. 4, will spend holidays at her home in Brooklin, and to pupils and teach- er a pleasant time throughout the festive season. No. 4 school con- cert will be held on December 21st. The Farm Forum held their meeting on December 11, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Pearce, with an attendance of 28. Topic: "Folk Schools for Farm People." The guest speaker, Mr. Ed. Millson, Orono, was a much appreciated and interesting speaker who has had more experience than anyone in this county in arranging and par- ticipating in the activities of a. folk school. His enthusiasm made his hearers realize that folk schools have a definite contribution to make to the life of the Canadian people. Training in leadership is needed by the young people. Too few think they have the ability to speak in public. Access to folk schools would de- finitely be a help to many, helping them to acquire self-confidence. Learn to co-operate, make a bhe- ginning in crafts, have a training in public speaking. The folk school is an asset for those of a certain age group, but they are only one of a number of educational opportu- nities available to young people. participation in Junior Farmer ac- tivities, attendance at sport courses, taking a part' in community or- ganizations, all play their part in the development of leaders and helpers. This is the last meeting until the new year. Refreshments were served and a social time was enjoyed together.

Health Aid To Indians Important Most Canadians have only a va- gue idea of what Indian Health Services is and does, writes Grace Harris, R.N., Supervisor of field nurses, Indian Health Services, De- partment of National Health and Welfare. Perhaps this account of a small segment of my routine experiences will give some idea as to the work we do. My experiences are fairly typical of the work of nurse$ in Indian Health Services across Can- ada wherever Indian reserves are to be found. LEFT IN APRIL In April, 1951, I left Prince Rupert, B.C., aboard the 8. 8. Co- mosun on my way to Kincolith, a settlement at the mouth of the Nass River about 9 miles north of Prince Pupert. With me was Kathy Clayton, a nine-year-old Indian girl returning home from Nanaimo In- dian Hospital. To Kathy the Indian Health Ser- vices has meant five and one half years of life in an Indian Hospital. At first if meant pain, insecurity, heavy body Adasts, streptomycin given with a long needle, operations and months of bed rest. Kathy is now wearing a light plastic jacket .although she is pale and small or her age, she is a happy and healthy child. The other passengers on the steamer were curious' about the Indian child traveling with a white woman and Kathy did' not lack at- tention or sympathy. She told everyone about going to school in the hospital and with pride said: "I'm in Grade IV." Most of the passengers said: 'What a pity she has to go home." FAMILY WAITING To this I replied for Kathy: "She has a family--mother, father, two brothers and two sisters--who are waiting anxiously for her return. The field nurse will help her par- ents to maintain her health and she will attend day school in a new, modern two-room school with central heating, electric lights and running water. In six months Kathy will return to Miller Bay Indidan Hospital in Prince Rupert for X-ray and examinations. Her X-ray films will be sent to the orthepedic doc- tor in Nanaimo who performed her operation for his opinion on her progress." One question led to another and before I realized it I was describ- cent visitors with their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Down. On Sunday next Mr. Ralph Lar- mer, Blackstock repersenting the Farm Forum, will be the guest speaker at an evening service. my work with the Indian Health Services in detail and all the passengers were listening. As a public health nurse with head- quarters at Miller Bay Indian Hos- pital I have been traveling to In- dian reserves in northern British Columbia since October 15, 1950. The prevention and control 'of tu- berculosfs is my special field. My equipment consists of a movingpic- ture projector and educational films, syringes and needles for tuberculin tests and BCG vaccine. Later a doctor, X-ray. technician and X-ray equipment will arrive. My role is that of teacher, helper and friend. My objective is opti- umum health for each and every Canadian Indian. FATHER WAITING Fourteen hours from Prince Ru- pert we were landed at the govern- ment dock at Kincolith. Kathy's fa- ther was there in a fishing boat waiting for us. We had to wait two hours for the freight and my egq- uipment to be unloaded. This was done by an electric winch. While we watched, Kathy clung to me ard occasionally asked how we were going to get down to the boat. The usual way is down a 30-feet perpendicular ladder but I knew Kathy couldn't climb down. The skipper of the steamer laughed when I asked if we could be un- loaded in the same way as the freight but he agreed and one more difficulty was overcome. From the fishing boat we again boarded a small skiff and finally left this and walked about a half mile over the stones and seaweed. Kathy was carried by her. father. I carried the large doll which her parents had sent her at Christmas, When we arrived at Kincolith, which is surrounded by the Nass River on three sides and mountains on the other, we found the teachers the field nurses and most of the villagers waiting for us. My first responsibility was to help Kathy to accept her family, This was not as difficult as I had anticipated. She was an. important person at the moment and, like any other child she enjoyed being the centre of attraction, MUCH X-RAYING My 10-day visit to Kincolith was very busy. Almost 100 percent of the natives had been X-rayed and all the children had received tuber=- culin tests. The entire population turned out to see the films and for the first time I heard God Save the King sung on an Indian reserve. I made a trip up the Nass River in a fishing boat, staying overnight at Greenville. The Naskeena, a 55-foot cabin cruiser operated by the Skeena Ri- ver Indian Agency, arrived to take us back to Prince Rupert.

Antonio, Tex., (AP) -- A band of monkeys and champanzees is training in Texas for an air force problem in radioactivity. The problem is whether atomic radioactivity will have effects on mental abilities, and on seeing, hearing and muscular dexterity.
