WEDNESDAY, PEIRUARY IS, THE HOLLAND, MICHIGAN, EVENING SENTINEL PAGE THREI Outstanding Travelogue Shows Life in Australia A spectacular panorama of Australia was unfolded for members of the Woman's Literary club Tuesday afternoon when Winifred Walker presented her extraordinary travelogue film, "Home to Australia." A native of Australia herself, Mrs. Walker packed her film and narration with a variety of information and interesting highlights of life in the land "Down Under." Mrs. Walker made the mile trip to visit her mother and other members of her family, who were introduced in the film. In her introductory remarks, Mrs. Walker told the little-realized fact that Australia is much the same size and shape as the United States, but because of lack of rain and the stretches of rugged terrain, the population is only eight million.

She presented a brief history of the continent and described the Aborigines as the most primitive people on the globe. Her beautiful pictures, which covered an amazing amount of subject matter, easily explained to club members why Mrs. Walker has been named "America's ace cinematographer." With her camera she has captured all the beauty of Australia's wonderful beaches its desert fends and rugged cliffs the meticulously planned i i with red-roofed homes, business buildings and fabulous universities. Throughout her film is a gener ous sprinkling of the unusual bird and animal life on the continent-the famous kangaroos, the preciou kaola bears, the duck-billed platy pus, parrots and many others. One of the colorful climaxes wa an exhibition of the secret Corro boree, ceremonial dance of th Aborigines.

The white-painted na tives create a weird picture in thei brilliant costumes as they danc Jaiati with picturesque symbols made feathers, wood or carving. Another highlight of the trip wa Mrs. Walker's delightful dremati xation of "Waltzing Matilda." All the principle cities of Austra lia were visited Canberra, th capital, with air views and close- ups of federal offices and embas sies; Melbourne, with its bustling street scenes and lovely gardens; the queen city, Adelaide: Alice Springs, where the audience met the "Opal King" and saw breathtaking samples of his opal collection; Brisbane and its university well-known to many A i a GI's. A visit to tiny Heron Island, on the Great Barrier Reef, afforded colorful shots of starfish, bright corals and many colorful of the sea. Woman's club members shall certainly recall Mrs.

Walker's program as one of the finest of the year She captivated her audience, not only with her extraordinary pictures, but with her own charm, her wit and sense of beauty. Following scheduled program, Willard C. Wichers of the Netherlands Information Service showed a short film on the flood conditions in the Netherlands.

Descnbmg that work as a form of xlice work, he said that some 100 laws and penal codes must be applied and enforced by the Bureau of Markets and Enforcement.

An inspector enters food-handling establishments unannounced and has learned to "stop, look, listen and smell," to gain his information in the first tew minutes. a place is found to be unsanitary, the operator is given a definite period in which to clean up. Last year fhere were 774 prosecutions of those who failed to comply, and all were convicted, he said. The speaker cited statistics on inspections of food samples, measuring devices, packed items checked tor weight and weighing of truckloads of coal. He emphasized that all food laws are based honesty and cleanliness en- on tirely, and that a business with a reputation for these is seldom inspected.

Questionable establishments are visited frequently, he said. For all this work which safeguards our food supply, we each pay annually less than it cost to park a car downtown for one hour and the entire cost of the Department of Agriculture is less than the price of a quart of milk, he said.
