If you don't like the war, turn the damn thing off, By Jack Cahill. Jack Cahill's entertaining book on the perils and delights of being a foreign correspondent will soon be available in The Russell Public Libary. The report goes along smoothly from the atrocities of Vietname and Cambodia to Indira's Gan- dhi's bout with megalomania in 1975 and the aftermath of the Korean war. At that point although the book does not lose in its entertaining factor it does become slightly rambling. Cahill is an honest writer. The reader is invited to share the author's loneliness and horror so vividly described when he accom- panies the driver of the death cart in Dacca to pick up the bodies of those who have starved to death. He leaves no stone unturned. Whether we like it or not Cahill does not allow us to play the ostrich. The human suffering is there in these impoverished coun- tries and he rubs our complacent Western noses in it. Musson Book Company, Cahiil's criticism of the way the war was handled by the west is caustic. Kissinger and Nixon felt through the media that the West was sick of hearing about the war, so "they just switched the damn thing off", even though 10,000 Vietnamese continued to die every month. The reader shares a first hand account of the terrorizing fall of Phnom Pen and Saigon and witnesses an unforgettable escape from Da Nang. Cahill recounts the agonizing last minutes before boarding an American rescue plane, watching with a sickening feeling as deserted Vietnamese desperately cling to the underside of the aircraft, most of them squashed to death, kicking and clawing at each other in one last attempt to gain freedom. Thus he relates the prelude of the "boat people'? braving the seas in pitifully makeshift boats, doomed from the start.

Built by Clarence Helmer about 1865 the house did not become part of Mabel Little's family history until 1893 when her grand- mother became the owner. In 1867 Mabel's father sold his farm in Vankleek Hill to buy this farm and become an active member of the community of Russell. A farmer and member of the Henry Tweed is remembered by many as the man who kept the ice at the arena in usable condition for many years. Mabel and Alex Little became the owners of the farm in 1961 where they raised their children and actively farmed the 50 acres. But in 1973 the main barn burned to the ground and Alex turned to the city for employment. The once large open fields behind the house are now dotted with new homes. The house is elegantly situated amidst large trees. After its construction the Helmer home became a bit of an attraction in the area. It was the largest all brick house along the Castor and drew period architec- ture buffs from all around. The basic 1-1/2 storey centre gable plan was slightly modified to in- clude two additional gables which sheltered two upstairs front win- oe dows. These windows allow light into two bedrooms that might well have been dark and gloomy. The L-shaped home also included a bricked in summer kitchen with an additional room above it. The "grandeur" of the house coupled with the attention to detailed bargeboard and finials on the gables made this an impressive example of modern architecture back in 1865. It is also these features that continue to make it an eye catching home in the 1980's.

These two photos were taken in two different eras. The house originally had a wraparound verandah (left) but that was changed by Henry Tweed to a two storey open porch as photographed in the 1930's (right). The present porch, (above) was closed in to protect the entrance from the elements. (Photos provided by Alex and Mabel Little) SOLIDEX HOLDINGS LTD.
