Plans for a Pre-Lenten- Dance were dis- cussed and finalized. Plans for the formation of a knitting club along with other Lenten activities were presented to the meeting.

Girl's

Sodality Annual Meeting

This group has been active as a spiritual and lay group. Included in its activities is Catholic Action among its members, visiting the sick and aged, helping in social welfare work, at all times con- scious of the aim of perfection of self and others.

Two very successful retreats were held on consecutive week- ends for all the young working ladies. It was most gratifying to - so many make this retreat.

A similar one is planned in the near future.

During the past summer a very interesting week-end was spent at Rustico’s Knights of Columbus Camp, where a large number of the group retired to enjoy out- door recreation.

Miss Evelyn Pugh a Grail Worker with the Extension Dep't of St. Francis Xavier was pre- sent to organize the recreational part of the week-end. Some of the group showed great talent when they participated in drama singing and folk dancing.

This week-end closed with a very successful weiner roast. Se- veral dances, lobster boils, and social gatherings were also held during the year.

As lay apostles our goal is the’ co-relation of spirituality with 7) every day living.

Most of the woman's estate consisted of real estate but one bank account contained $43,000. Her personal property was valued at on'y $100. She bequeathed most of the estate to charity.

For years the woman had let her neighbors believe that she was near the point of starvation and to help her out several of them had given her food. She supplemented this diet by rad- ishes and other vegetables which she grew in a weedy. garden at the rear of her home.

Cancer Seru

| Said Tested

CHICAGO (AP).— Some pati- ;ents once considered in the last stages of cancer still are alive i three years after receiving serum from horses inoculated with their type of malignancy, a Canadian doctor said Monday.

Dr. Gordon Murray of Toronto |said there have been no cures, |but definite evidence of improve- ment. He described ine experi- ments at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Ortho- pedic Surgeons.

The important thing to deter- mine, he said in an interview, is whether the serum caused the improvement or. whether it re sulted from some still-undeter- mined factor.

The experiments, which are con- tinuing, seck to determine whether such sertith will strengthen a cancer victim’s nat- ural ‘immunity to the disease.

Eskimos Get Bad Habits, Council Told

OTTAWA (CP)—Indications of a “growth” of objectionable hab- its among Canada’s Eskimos, in- cluding petty thievery and pros- titution, dictate that action should be taken to bar them from de- fence centres, mining communi- ties and similar settlements “‘un- less and until they have both em- ployment and housing,” the Northwest Tefritories Council was told Monday.

Commissioner L. H. Nicholson of the ROMP, member of the council that convened Monday in regular session, said he believes urgent action is necessary at a

+ | few northérn points.

“We should take steps, firm if necessary, to keep these people from clustering about white cen- tres of population unless and un- til they have both employment ‘and housing,” he said in a lengthy review of the Eskimo situation.

The greatest danger in the Eski- mo’s transition towards white men’s standards, Mr. Nicholson said, is\ that he will suffer psy- chological upset.

Escapees Claim Unrest Rampant In Red China

HONG KONG (Reuters) — Seven fishermen who recently jescaped from Communist China | told a press conference here Mon- | day that a feeling of unrest is

‘rampant™ among workers and peasants in the communist peo |ple’s communes — China's new basic social units.

Lam Wai, chairman of the Hong Kong Fishing, Commercial and General Union, who acted as spokesman for the refugees, said that last October Chinese Com- munists began forcing fishermen to join the communes.

Fishing vessels formed a group working together, while the wives

stayed ashore to work in produc- tive labor as coolies or in steel smelters.

Old people were ordered to take care of 25 children each. Every- one had to put in 18 to 20 hours a day in the communes, and food was increasingly scarce.

When a fisherman joined a commune his vessel became pub- lic property and he was separ- ated from his family. After the

first month all he received was a food allowance.

The fishermen said they had after dark.
