The plight of Southeast
Asian refugees and what
can be done to help them
was the topic of an
;August 5 meeting 'at St.
Joseph's Catholic Church
in Clinton.
A number of people
from. the area attended
the meeting, some
representing c'li•urches. or
groups who are in-
teresting in sponsoring
refugees.
• Following opening
prayer by Father Hardy,
guest speaker Brian Van
Hove was introduced.
Mr. Van Hove, who has
been working With
refugees since 1975, gave
background into some of
the problems these
people have and are still
facing. He said that the
communist government
is persecuting the
"middle class" people
which could include
anyone "owning a
business, or others from
farmers, . doctors to
lawyers.
Many educated people,
or those known to be
against communism, are
executed or sent to "re-
education camps."
Families, husbands and
wives, parents and
children can become
separated this way and
never know when or if
they will he reunited.
Some are sent to farm
labor camps in the in-
terior, where hundreds of
• people starve since they
are given very little food
and no medical Gare.
Mr, Van Hove went on.
to say that there is no real
peace yet. People who
have escaped the harsh
regime are not allowed to
go back to their country,
on government orders,
even" if they wishedto
return to the relatives
and homes they left
behind.
The communist
governments speak of
Human Rights, but Mr.
Van Hove pointed out that
according to Time
magazine, in Cambodia
alone, the government
has killed over 2,5 million
people out of a population
of 7.5 million. Borders are
being closely patrolled
and those caught trying
to escape are im-
mediately shot to death.
Thousands of refugees
are unable to stay in their
part of the • world since
countries, like Thailand
and Malaysia, already
have too many people
living there. Many
countries are poor and
underdeveloped and
cannot accept any more
people. Many of the
homeless refugees end up
in camps ' where living
conditions are very poor.

You want to be happy. What is happiness? Is the golf
course, the fishing trip, the bright lights, alcohol or
stimulants or sex?
Many people have given up hope of ever attaining
happiness. Young people have so many material
benefits in this Country, yet they are not happy. Adults
have homes, families, folks, entertainment, far more
than their ,forefgthars, Yet theyi•,are not happy. Old
people, are cared for in beautiful apartments and
homes, they are given medicair caro•and many other
privileges, yet they aro not happy. Isn't it true?
Why no happiness?
Happiness is never attained If we make itthe oblect of
our search. Happiness Is a byproduct of a life in. right
relation to God and mon. No one can be truly happy
who' is not in harmony with the Source of happiness.
How much leis happy will he be when ho doltberatiey
refuses Gods love and salvation and direction tar his
life. Rettnie rber, "He that baIieveth on the Son has
everlasting inter but he Who iefuii d the Son shall not
see
Ilfe, but God's anger rets On him." John 3:36.
