Couple Spend

Teaching In Asian Village

By RUSSELL ELMAN

OTTAWA (CP) — At eight o'clock each morning from Mon- day to Saturday Helen Woold- ridge enters her classroom at Tanjong Lobang secondary school in Miri, Sarawak, to the hooming greeting of 74 beam- ing boys in blue shorts.

“Good morning, Mrs. Woot- ridge,” they chorus. That's about as Close as they can come to pronouncing her name

This daily ritual is one of the many small rewards enjoyed by Helen and husband Clendon. two young Canadians spending a working honeymoon to: help overcome a ‘serious teacher shortage in the British. colony of Sarawak.

Their oad to their Southeast Asian assignment, and to mar- riage. was paved by the Cana- dian Overseas Volunteers. a To- ronto-based organization which sends young Canadians abroad to assist underdeveloped coun tries

POSTING SWITCHED

‘The couple met when both be- eame interested in the Volun- teers. Clendon, 24; of Toronto, graduated from the University of Toronto last year as a me- chanical engineer. His wife, the former Helen Zukowski. 22, whose parents live in Abbots- ford, B.C.. was an advertising copywriter with the Wool Bur- eau of Canada.

Helen had been assigned first to a post in Ceylon but when romance intervened, officials sent her along with her husband to Sarawak on the island of Borneo.

Some months ago tpe Woold- ridges arrived to start teaching natives, who in mushrooming numbers are leaving the jungle to enter the. Tanjong lLobang government boarding school. They are taught everything from how to fashion a dove-tall joint to Shakespeare's use of dramatic irony in Henry V

In a letter home, distributed by the COV, the couple describe how they are making out in jobs whose requirements extend be- yond the classroom to supervis- ing student work parties and dormitories, giving first aid and planning school menus.

LITTLE ON CANADA

“The school's equipment and eurriculum are closely pat- terned after the latest models in modern education and would stand against any school in Can- ada,"’ writes Helen.

“‘My little charges hang pic- tures of Elvis Presley on their walls. They track down an- swers to binomial theorems. They probe microscopic slides for glimpses of an elusive am-

oeha.”’ . Helen, who conducts” three

English and three _ history

courses, also reorganized the |

school library, which she found well-stocked with books on New Zealand but without a single volume on Canada

“The only information avail- able on our thriving nation is l'2 pages ina set of encyclo- paedias of dubious worth. Would there be any kind agency that would donate a few books on Canada . . . history books, geog- raphy, maps, anything?"

The Wooldridges say they are

determined to stick to the native diet as closely as possible not only for economy but also to in- crease their contacts with the local population by shopping in the market

A typical meal at the Cana- dians’ home might consist of young cocoanut milk, curried

chicken and rice, sauteed bean curd or bean sprouts in peanut

ofl and soya bean. sauce. For dessert. hananas, pineapple, pa- pava. rambutan, mandarin or-

anges and other fruits.

Blasting Powder Is Sold To Cuba

OTTAWA (CP) — Trade Min- ister Hees has confirmed the government has authorized export of blasting powder to Cuba but said it was for civilian uses

The government does not al- low export to Cuba of anything “sat would or could be used for warlike purposes,” he said in the Commons i

He was replying to Lucien Cardin ‘L Richelieu-Verch- eres) who asked about shipment of ‘‘a large quantity of dyna- mite.” e

Mr. Hees said the shipment, of blasting. powder, had been in- —qieated sore fTine ago.

Mr. Cardin asked whether the

government considers this a strategic material. “Many articles. including ta-

ble knifes, could be used as war materials."’ Mr. Hees: replied. Articles allowed for export to Cuba were those normal for peacetime use.

X-Ray Rooms Can Become Shelters

TORONTO (CP) — An official

of the Emergency Measures Or-4-

ganization says hospital x - ray rooms make the best possible fallout shelters

“The rooms are designed to keep radioactivity from getting out into the waiting room and this prevents it from getting in,’ north zone controller Pau! Tuz told 124 doctors affiliated with North York Branson Hos- pital.

’ Mr. Tuz outlined the respon- sibility of medical personnel dur- ing a natural or nuclear disas- ter.
