Modern Styling. And Lighting Provides For Shopping Convenience

'1-ne noticeable trend to modern ;tyling is well illustrated in the renovations which have been lone at the grocery store of S. N. gays, on the corner of Pownal Hid Richmond Streets.

The transformation in the ap- pearance of the store has been effected by Mr. Kays to commein- grate the 25th anniversary of his gslabllshlnl the business and the high degree of success he has at.- iained.

A completely new and colorful front has two large show win- dows which permit plenty of lignt and sunshine to reach the in- tDl'l0f. Inside the new entrance tricre is a complete change from front to rear. Up-to-the-minute fluorescent lighting offers a day- time effect at all hours. and since they are set in a modern block- iypc ceiling the lights are able

to give maximum illumination.

Old counters have been taken out and one modern serving counter installed on the right hand side. New 'Island-type' display counters effectively show the merchandise offered and at the same time permit easy access to any part of the floor area. The front serving counter is of pleasant light-colored plywood with a clean, sparkling arborife surface and wide sweeping semi- circular ends.

The rear of the store holds the meat section where a modern re- frigerated sales "showroom" has on display a wide selection of cooked and uncooked meats of all varieties.

In addition there is ample shelf ' canned goods stocked

space for all the and staples of a g:-ocetcria.

Oaiiaiiian Welfare Worker In Greece

The following are excerpts from I diary kept by Dr. botta 1-in- achumanova of the Unitarian Ser- vices Committee during a field trip to Greece.

Aulust 2 - Left Salonica at 8.00 a. m, after a typical Greek breakfast: Turkish cof- fee and two miniature sweets. l'rG hours of jeep ride on a hard gravel road. In Kiikis. the Direc- tor of the Welfare Centre was expecting us in his office, and af- ter drinking the traditional wel- coming coffee, he politely answered

all our questions. Yes, in his nomos of 208 villages. there were 19 with complete

crop failure and 5 where repat- riated refugees still live under tents. It is well known, he sadly added, that proportionately his area suffered more from guerilla warfare than any other part of the country. and there are 5145 or- phans. Would he be allowed to suggest the two villages of Thivounon and Spourieti for our clothing distribution, as their suffering was particularly acute?

Wc accepted this proposal.

In the nearby Government ware- houses we found our 81 boxes of clothing. blankets and soap. ship- ped from Athens on Government trucks for our distribution. What a thrill for me to see them like good old friends waiting for us! Lovingly I contemplated the mark- ings of our Ottawa. Montreal and Winnipeg Branches: with delight I looked at the large inscriptions in Greek and English on each one of the cases reading "Donation from Canada."

We had the up-to-date lists of the Welfare Center for the two chosen villages. and after three hours of back-breaking sorting we finally started the most exciting part of our job-the preparation of the individual bundles! Each of the 43 families in Thivounon and of the 68 families in Spouricti were to receive a personal parcel, made up according to the number and ages of every family member! We gave one blanket to less than 6 people in one family. and two blankets. if there were more than six. Every person received four cakes of soap --a truly necessary contribution since skin diseases are raging in the villages! Then the garments were chosen and shoes and under- wear. to make each bundle a gift "they have never before recciveil from any other relief organiza- tion." The name of the family was pinned on the outside for easy identification. and off it went to the mountain of the other ready parcels along the wall.

While I was watching with las- cination this assembly could not help but think of the rlong chain of hard work. patience and good will which had been neccssai-,v to make all this possible. These thousands of garments which we were putting into in- dividual bundles. had been donat- cd from all over Canada by people who heard me speak of the plight of Greek repatriated refugees and it had taken many days of vol- iintcer labour in our Unitarian Service Committee collection cen- ters to sort. pack, stencil and strap all these goods.

We arrived back in Salonlca at 9 p.m. exhausted, dirty and hun- gry. but what did it matter? To- morrow we would carry help to two isolated suffering frontier villages. .

August 3. The stories of Thivoun- on and Spouricti are very much a- like: because these villages refused to collaborate with the Germans. and later on with the guerillas and communists, they were ransacked and pllfered and burned. Casualt- ies were very ihgh. and almolt every single family lost at least one male member in the fierce. horrible firhting.

In May 1960 the Government i'cpat.riated them to what once had been their homes. All the houses we saw were newly rebuilt. in- cluding the school. Because these villages are high in the mountains and their fields are poor. the people used to live on cattle raising before the war. They. had 350 large and 2.000 small animals then, Today. they have 50 large and aosmall ones left! Can youairAn- agine how poor theyallare.

warm undcrware. mean in these repatriated refugccsl it will take

years to restore their economy. and it will take years for them to gain their buying power. In the meantime. "even a hankerchief. even a needle are a treasure." One after the other. I handed out the bundles to their owners, and there were innumerable "Efcharis- to parapoli" and "0 Theos sas evlois" (Thank you ever so much" and "May God bless you") which I could only answer with a hand- shake and a smile. But well did I realize that every one of these simple people was a hero In his own right. who had sacrificed family, home and personal be- longings. because above all he loved liberty and independence. ”You have solved one of our major problems by coming to dis- tribute among us" the Presidents 'of the two villages said to us. "We were so frightened of this coming winter, for we have no money to buy warm clothing for our child- ren, and now you have helped us out. Will you tell your Canadian people that they are literally saving human lives by sending us blan- kets and warm clothing? Winters are cold arolmd here, and we are cut off for months by snow. Every garment will be put to good use. and we shall often remember you with gratitude."

I want to tell you about one little girl. seven years old. whose name is Marika, and whom I shall never forget. Her father was killed

ago. She was wearing a short. red- faded cotton dress: no shoes, underwear. But thanks to Unitarian Service Committee, she will have all she needs to stand the coming months. and when I shall see our own Canadian child- ren playing in the cold and snow I shall know that little Marika too has woolies and a warm dress and a coat.
