MANY NEEDS
This is what so many immigrants
from the West say and think. Some
how they are justified. Not only the
average man in the street but also
the institutions responsible for the set
tlement of these immigrants are under
the impression that all a family from
the West n^ds is housing and em
ployment. "They are educated; they
bring over .their furniture, including
the latest household gadgets, an1
often a car of their own. A job and
somewhere to live in must be all
that they need. Haven't they every-

MERCHANTS
But that is not so. They need friends
who have been for years in the coun

people: they need friends who know
the answers to all the problems that
the newcomers are often brought face
to face with. Preferably these fronds
should hail from the same country or
speak the same language as they.
