H. M. EVERS I bring out his capital immediately and until such time as their cap­ital is released things are quite difficult. "' There are very few provinces in Canada that will sup­ply the Dutch settlers with a loan", Mr. Jensma stated. On her arrival here Mrs. Evers i was astounded at the unusua1. building of the city and the large • ields of wheat. " Of course we have wheat too, but ours is only a small country so we have to be very economical and not spend out land too freely". The buildings are much taller and narrower, es­pecially in the cities. Wood is very expensive so most of the homes are built of brick and concrete with corrugated steel and tile roofs. Give True Picture In her travels across the country Mrs. Evers hopes she can lenrn much about the living conditions here and the possibilities for the Dutch settlers so when she re- | turns to her homeland she will b- i able to give the women of Holland all the information possible and prepare them for their great ad­venture.
