are "foolish folk"; Whether it

THE HÖLMÖLÄISET BUILD A
COTTAGE '
The «ölraöläiset built themselves
a cottage and made it so solidly that
they forgot to leave a wlndow.in the
Wall. When the cottage was ready
they found it rather dark and con.si-dered
for a long time how to get the
däyllght in. In the end they had a
good idea: they would fetch i n the
light with a sack. So they opened out
the aick to the sunshine, tied it
up carefully and carried it into the
cottage. Here they opened the sack
but to everyone's surprise the cottage
was no lighter than before. While
they were standing amazed at this
unexpectied dissapointment, Matti
hs«>pened to pass by and hear of their
trouble, Weil said Matti give me a

Then Matti cut a hole i n the wall,
and at once the sunshine poured Into
the cottage. So pleased wei-e the

THE HÖLMÖLÄISET
GO HUXTING .
One day the Hölmöläiset set out to
hunt the bear, When they reached
the bear's den the first thing they did
was to sit down and eat a hearty
breakfast. After this they held counr
cil, and decided that ^Pekka should
crawl into the den firat to bring the
bear out. For safety's sake they fas-tened
a rope to his leg. If there should
be any trouble Pekka wäs to kick. and
his comrades would puli him out. So
it was agreed. Pekka crawled into the
den, and when he was well Inside the
bear blt his head off. Pekka'a legs
quivered.a little. and that was the
end of him. Outside, his comrades
discussed the mat£er nieanwliile: "He
kicked just now. I'ts certalnly none
too pleasant inside there." Then they
pulled Pekka out, and Pekka was
headleru. "Yes, really headless!'' sald
the Hölmöläiset, and they held coun-cil
as to what this might mean. One
of thenj was of the opinion that it
was not entirely certain whether Pekr
ka had had any head when he crawl-ed
into the den. "WeH" said a second

T SOUTHERN NEIGHBOURS
BY BOB WARD
The Ward's 'neigl^bor to the south'
is a mighty swell guy. .
The boundary between us and our
nelghbour is undefended and has
been that way ali the time we've lived
In our present home.
Our neighbor and us taik back and
forth over this 'undefended boundary'.
We exchange ideas, gardenUi«
hints and the time of day.
T h i s Fall we are golng to'exchange
some plants and perennials.
Our mlssus. and our nelghbor's wife
qxchange reclpes, magazines, and chat
about the problems of ralslng children.
In this regard our neighbor'8
wife feels that. the pocket size books
on child psychology aren't as good as
the weightier cloth <bound books. The
way she feels is that the heavier books
make a greater "impression" on the
children; and partlcularly so when
applled to the seat of leamlng.
I n the Fall our nelghbor gives pears
and apples from his trees to our kids.
We give them stuff from the Ward
back-acher.
So you might say that there. is con-siderable
north-south trade between
the nelghbor and oursehres. And we
imagine that' most neighbors have
similar good relations.
installations i n the Ward back yard.
Radar |vould have to be installed to
protect our northern frontier agalnst
possible attacks o n his apple trees by
bugs from Macintosh Reds (if you'll
excuse the expression.)
"Ward," he would say to us one
day. "we have to defend ourselves
from the menace of Red-cheeked
children who are likely to attack me
through your backyard and I'm going
to have to set up Defense Headquar-ters
i n your house."
And if we, as a Citizen, were to
follow the policy of 'our' boys who defend
'our way of life' up. i n Ottawa,
we'd say, "Why. sure nelghbor, you
Just take over our house if you want
to coz we know there is no greater
menace ,to us and,'our way of hfe'
than the threat of being attackeä by
an army of Red-clieeked children."
We were thinking about our good
nelghbor to the south recently. We
had Just read two newspaper reports^
one by Lester B. Pearson, theother by
C D . Hovfei on why Canada should
give more and more to USA (Canada's
nelghbor to the south) and get less in
return.
And we got to wonderlng how the
attitude of government would apply if
It was adopted by our nelghbor i n our
community.
The way we figiured It out is that,
based on Canadlan-USA 'good nelghbor'
policy^ we'd sell him our 8traw-berrles
for five cents a quart, then
he'd sell us back the j am for *1,00 a
ar,
We'd pick our onions, hand them
over the 'boundary' to h im and then
buy the pickles at a fabulous price.
We would harvest the Ward corn (and
that requlres some harvesting we're
told) and our 'nelghbor to the south'
voiiid can i t and s e l l i t back to us.
To ''defend' his own property and,
of course, the Interest he l i ad In ours,
our nelghbor would want to establish
ifAZY HERB by KALLAS
BUTOADDVS
JNSURED./
Facts are though that at this community
level — at a level where the
grasping, power-hungry, taking over,
greedy wishes of a nelghbor wouldbe
SO obvious he just wouldn't get away
wlth it.
We'd teli him"Now look here you,
we're golng to can our.own strawber-ries
and everything else that we grow.
We aren't golng to let you get away
with this kind of nonsense."
As to having a nelghbor set up
traps. snares, radar, gun installations,
antl-Red-cheeked • kid<i interceptors,
etc., we'd teli him togo and drop down
a big sewer. .,
And, indeed, If any. Citizen in our
community was to establish \ h e kind
of 'good nelghbor' relations which
Howe, Pearson. St. Laurent, etc. fol-low
in Canada'8 dealings with USA,
the community would have such a
person committcd to a mental institution.
Yet this is precisely what 'our' (jov-emment
is doing; Canadian iron orc
Is sold to USA for as low as $1.00 a
ton and then sold back to us In f i n -
Ished Steel and other metal products*
at sky-high • prices, Puipwood, ilu-,
mlnums nickel, a.*>estos, and ali of our
other natural re.sources are taken at
bargain basement prices and sold b?ck
to us ä t the hlghe«t price possible.
Like the chap v/ho splt agalnst the
wind vve get thlngs back alrlght — but
rlght in the eye, :
.Government goes even further.
Canadian geologists search out our
mineral wealth, then government
turns it over to USA big shots, USA
armed forces are ali over Canada,
USA "experts" invade evcry:a8pcct of
Canadian life.
Basing ourselves on experienccs
wlth our 'neighbor to the south' in
our community, the carryings-on at a
national level Just arc'n't nelghborly.
In our community we wouldn't let
.•juch a thing go on.
It's hlgh time that. Canadiana
everyv/here told 'our neighbor to the j
south', and the polltlclans v/ho .<?i»p-port
him, that we've had enough, Lefs
buikl our own country. Sure, it'5 grcat
to be "good neighbors", but let'» get
our nelghborly relations on a level
where Canada 1» consldered first.

The foUMring. Appesl lo «he
Publle opinion of ali NaUons «as
adopted by the IVorId Assembly >
for Feace. «hlch UM ia IlelsfnU,
Finland; from June 22—29, 1955.
For the first time i n ten years. in
a divided worId. and thanks to the
efforts of public opinion, the heads
of the Four GreatPowers are going
to meet. O n them rests heavlly the
responslblllty of unlversal hope. Their
first duty wlll be to overcome their
mutuai distrust.
The •World Assembly for Peace,
whlch has brought together Uierep-resentatives
of 68 countrles, has es-tablished
wlth certalnty that in spite'
of deep differences. In^ splte of diver-slty
of opinion^ agreement: can be;
reached on Important points and
that negotlatlon can at this very
moment solve a great number of
problems,
It la World opinion whl(Jh has now
risen agalnst the policy of force,
agalnst milltary blocs. the arma-ments
race, and agalnst the terrl-fylngdanger
of atomlc war. The Ge-neva
Agreements. the end of the war
in Indo-Chlna, the Bandung Confe-rence,
the' neutrallty of Austria, the
Belgrade Declaratlon, bhese are ali
the fruits of tihis - awakening of
opinion which has been cxpressed In
the attitude of govemments.
On the problem of. dlsarmament
and of atomlc weapons, which up t i l i
now has reached deadlock because of
stubbom opposition, the: points of
vlew have come so close together that
agreement is now only a questlon of
goodwill.
On the problem of .security, the
princlples odopted by the Bandung
Conference have proved that
throughout a continent peaceful. c6l-laboratlon
between countrles of dif
ferent systems can be based on Ideas
such as those whlch were proclaimed
by China and India.
The Helsinki Assembly has shown
that, if it takes public opinion Into
account,: the Big Four Conference
must mark tlie first stage of a Eu--
ropean structure guaranteeing security
to ali the States of Europe
and settlng them on the path of close
economlc and cultural co-operation.
This structure is bound up with the
reunlflcallon of a Germany saved
from the. rebirth of militarism and
remalning outside any militajy coall-tlon.
In: the same spirlt, the B i g Four
Conference must prepare by negotlatlon
for the evacuatlon of forclgn
troops from the Chinese Island of
Taiwan (Formosa), I t must «ee to
the strict implementatlon of' the A g reements
on Indo-China concluded
in Geneva. It must allaw the United
Natlons Organlzation to acqulre unl-versality
by welcoming the Chinese
Beople's Republic,
But forces «tm exist that favour the
cold wair and set themselves agalnst
the bringlng together- of .the Four
Powers, The Helsinki As.sembly ap-peals
to the opinion of a l i the natlons
of the v/orld to oppose th^se
forces and to support the ncgfotlators.
The work of peace can ät last be
achlcved If the forces of peace^whlch
set themselves the same objectivea —

Foolish or not, the " H ö l m ö l ä i s e t"
A r e a Part of Finnish Folk-lore
Anyone accquainted with Finland
and with a smattering of the language
a bound sooner or later to hear stor-les
of the Hölmöläiset — the Foolish
• Folk. Nobcdy is quite sure from
where these storiesoriginate, so i t is
usual to class them under the con-
.venientheading-of folk-lore.
MOTt Finns know the Hölmöläiset
either from their school-books or
from "Maamme Kirja'', Book of Our
Land. Written in 1875 by Z. Topelius,
faaious poet and teller of children's
tales, this book also contains an intro-duction
tö the Foolish Folk.
"Somewhere in this länd is a village
by the name of Hölmölä, and there
liVe the Höhnöläiset. the inhabitanta
of Holmolä. These Hölmöläiset are
very careful people and consider ,well
before undertaking anything, SO that
no harm may come through too much
haste. Concerning them are told . . .
many . . : clever undertakings..."

("Valvoja" 1899 p. 1748 ). is

Eastern frontier and not far from
Imatra. Hannikainen made the firat
literary mention of the Höhnöläiset in
iiis play "The Conjuror^' (Silmänkääntäjä
1845), in which the charac-ters
are "foolish folk"; Whether it
was he who fu-st connected the vUlage
>ith tl:e Word hölmö (fool, simpleton)
or whether he got the idea from
somewhere else does not appear to be
certam. ,

Finnish from German. - The original
.author was a German poet. Gustav
Benjamin Schwab, and the Hölmöläi-ast,
stories in the Huvi-Kirja come
from that author's."Die Sohildbur-ger".
The translator may have ta-ken
the name of Höhnöläiset from
Hannikainen's play, as a suitable
equiivalent for the German. This

THE HÖLMÖLÄISET BUILD A
COTTAGE '
The «ölraöläiset built themselves
a cottage and made it so solidly that
they forgot to leave a wlndow.in the
Wall. When the cottage was ready
they found it rather dark and con.si-dered
for a long time how to get the
däyllght in. In the end they had a
good idea: they would fetch i n the
light with a sack. So they opened out
the aick to the sunshine, tied it
up carefully and carried it into the
cottage. Here they opened the sack
but to everyone's surprise the cottage
was no lighter than before. While
they were standing amazed at this
unexpectied dissapointment, Matti
hs«>pened to pass by and hear of their
trouble, Weil said Matti give me a
hundred marics and I I I bring the light
i n for you. The Höimölälast ,were
dellghted to get daylight sp cheäp
and at oncfe pald the prlce stipulated.
Then Matti cut a hole i n the wall,
and at once the sunshine poured Into
the cottage. So pleased wei-e the
Hölmöläiset at this discovery that
they decided to cut out the whole

THE HÖLMÖLÄISET
GO HUXTING .
One day the Hölmöläiset set out to
hunt the bear, When they reached
the bear's den the first thing they did
was to sit down and eat a hearty
breakfast. After this they held counr
cil, and decided that ^Pekka should
crawl into the den firat to bring the
bear out. For safety's sake they fas-tened
a rope to his leg. If there should
be any trouble Pekka wäs to kick. and
his comrades would puli him out. So
it was agreed. Pekka crawled into the
den, and when he was well Inside the
bear blt his head off. Pekka'a legs
quivered.a little. and that was the
end of him. Outside, his comrades
discussed the mat£er nieanwliile: "He
kicked just now. I'ts certalnly none
too pleasant inside there." Then they
pulled Pekka out, and Pekka was
headleru. "Yes, really headless!'' sald
the Hölmöläiset, and they held coun-cil
as to what this might mean. One
of thenj was of the opinion that it
was not entirely certain whether Pekr
ka had had any head when he crawl-ed
into the den. "WeH" said a second
"P' can teli you about that; I notlced

T SOUTHERN NEIGHBOURS
BY BOB WARD
The Ward's 'neigl^bor to the south'
is a mighty swell guy. .
The boundary between us and our
nelghbour is undefended and has
been that way ali the time we've lived
In our present home.
Our neighbor and us taik back and
forth over this 'undefended boundary'.
We exchange ideas, gardenUi«
hints and the time of day.
T h i s Fall we are golng to'exchange
some plants and perennials.
Our mlssus. and our nelghbor's wife
qxchange reclpes, magazines, and chat
about the problems of ralslng children.
In this regard our neighbor'8
wife feels that. the pocket size books
on child psychology aren't as good as
the weightier cloth |
