Those who served the former • government in the civil service are arbitrar- • ily arrested. Some get to refugeecamps; some are sent to forced labour camps and others are executed. •One example of the repression in. Viet Nam said ven Hove is the 'introduction of the internal passport system.Under the system,' the people ate legally tied to the village or town. They must receive permission from the local authorities to go to nearby towns. In • this system, people living in Lucknow would • have t� receive permission to go to Wing - ham. The authorities must approve the reason for the trip or the person is not • allowed to leave his or her village. In a land where simple farmers once • farmed their own land, collective fanning is . being introduced. Parmers work for the state which determines how much they will 'be paid. If the state is having financial problems, farmers may work from dawn to -- dusk arid' receive nothing for their efforts. Destruction of traditional social life is another form of repression says ven Hove. The people trusted their religious leaders in the old republic. Now, the monks have been sent away and the Buddhist priest in a • village may have been forted to publicly declare he has been deceiving the people as the government tries to destroy the old bonds of trust and build up new ones between the people and the new govern- • Delegates on the Lions Internationsd Exchange who are staying In the local area include, from the left, David Lynch, McComb, Miss:, U.S.A.., staying:with Lorne Cook and Art Rohn, bOth of LUCIaloW; Becky Byerley, Sudan, Texas, U.S.A., staying 'with Grant Chisholm and Al Hainllton, • Lucknow; Nicholas LUtz, Cbexbrea, Switzerland, staying with Charles Liddle, Ripley; Beatriz Hlikamn, MOncheglid • Bach, West Germany, staying with ion Finlay, Orangeillle; • 'Stefan•Boch, Vojens, Deinnirk, staying with Cilff No, George, No M.T.D. is a brand name — not Margaret whatsername's derriere. • • 4-.

They read in. • the newspapers that these people bribe their ' way out of -their country with gold. Mr. ven Hove describes the igold these people.. have' as being similar to family heirlooms treasured by Canadian families. The gold is in the forth of family heirlooms from weddings and Buddhist family cere- monies which has been handed down from one generation to another. Just as Canadian families have old wedding rings belonging to their great-grandparents and jewellery and antique furniture, the Asians have gold. They gather together their heirlooms and transformit into a form which an be used to pay Off the bandits, police and authorities to allow them to get out of the country. • The fact that 'the refugees have gold in their possession to bribe their way out of their country does not mean they are rich. The common attitude is if these people are rich, why do they need the help of sponsors . in other countries. Int -one instance, the new government is attempting to exterminate a whole class of people. The highlanders who are simple mountain people living very rural lives are being bombed or gased.
