THANK CANADA
What do you do When the
new government of your
country names you a criminal
because you have been teach-
ing according to the curricu-
lum set out for you? That was
the question for Hiep Nguyen
and her teaching colleagues.
Heip had more problems than
most as her father had been
an official in the former
Ministry of Education.
Her experiences in ' Viet-
nam and Canada were related
at a Women's Institute meet-
ing at the Brussels public
school last week.
Everyone connected with
former officials were highly

suspect. Young people were
to be re-educated along
Marxist lines.
Hiep was a French teacher
in Saigon with a degree from
the University of Saigon. In
Ontario, her degree was
unacceptable so she took
extension courses and a year
at Western to obtain stand-
ing, She has been working as
a liaison between boat child-
ren in Huron County and their
teachers. Hiep plans on ob-
taining both her Master's
and Ph D in French and will
teach French in Robertson
Memorial Public School,
Goderich starting in Septem-
ber.
At one point before they
left Vietnam, Hiep's husband
was jailed. The family had to
take his meals to him every
day as there was no provision
. for feeding prisoners. If you
are caught trying to escape
you may be jailed for life or
killed. If a house is left vacant

Once a family sets out in
the small boats they have
'burned all their bridges'.
The only way to get out of the
country is buy your way with
gold - if you do not have gold,
you stay.
Hiep was more fortunate
than some as she and her
family spent only three days
packed in a very small boat
sailing to Malaysia. Many
boats were stopped by pi-
rates, robbed and the women
raped. Many spent two or
three weeks drifting at the
mercy of the storms of the
China Sea.
Hiep showed a film entitled
"Aspirins, Bandaids and
Good Intentions", which
showed life in a huge refugee
camp on an island in the
China Sea. The island would
ordinarily support 5,000
people but as a refugee camp
there were close to 40,000
living there.
Countries from around the
world have accepted many,of
these people. Australia was
commended for its policies.
The U.S. was criticized as
their criteria for immigration
seemed higher and took long-
er. Malaysia is worried that
other countries will take all
the best immigrants and they
will be left with those unable
to fend for themselves.
Hiep was wearing a tradi-
tional costume sent to her by
her mother who is still living
in Saigon. Letters take up to
three months to come and are
heavily censored.
Hiep,, her husband and two
sons thank Canada, and the
Varna -Goshen churches for
sponsoring them and giving
them a new chance.

JuniorD hockey team
Brussels should know this week whether
Junior "D" hockey will be played at the
Brussels. Morris and Grey community centre
this winter.
Most of the approximately 50 people at a
recent public meeting supported the organi-
zation of a junior hockey team. Jerry
Wheeler, who was appointed chairman, will
organize an executive for the first year. if
support is received from the north or south
junior hockey league and the Ontario Hockey
Association.
"Can we, do we, can we afford and do we
have enough players to support a junior team
in Brussels?" asked Mr. Wheeler, Brussels
players, eligible to play at the junior level are
now playing for Wingham, Howick and
Seaforth teams.
Several Brussels players have been ap-
proached and have said they would return to
their home town if a team is formed. "We can
draw players within a 25 -mile radius. We can
get enough players so it doesn't look too bad
for this year." The age level is from 16 to 21.
Asked by Max Demaray if players must be
released by the team they are presently on, if
they choose to transfer to Brussels, Mr.
Wheeler said no. A player must choose if he
wishes to play junior hockey in his home town
during the first year of the team.
There was a concern about a low player
turnout. A junior player on the Howick team
said 76 tried out for the 25 -man squad. "We
can draw from Howick. Obviously 76 players
didn't all make the team." said Jerry Dillow,
"Can you make up a good team with only
Brussels players?" asked Al Ten Pas. To
maintain a high calibre, "we don't want a
mediocre team if we can only choose from 30
players."
"We would go with the best team
available," said Mr. Dillow. "We would pick
the best 25 players to make a team."
A junior team has been in the talking
stages for two months. An April 15 deadline
to enter a team has passed.
Obitkwy
Now as a late entry, team organizers must
make a presentation to leagues north and
south of Brussels. They hope one of the two
leagues will accept a new entry. "There is a
good possibiiility we will be accepted by the
north which consists of six teams,' said Mr.
Wheeler.
Estimated cost of organizing the team is
$17,000. A major expenditure is $9,450 for
helmets, pants, sticks and sweaters. Home
ice time will cost 53,400, practice time:
51,500. Away ga(rtes could cost 52,100 for 12
games.
Income was estimated at 56,000. Included
is a player performance bond which would be
returned at season's end, of 51,250 (550
each); 5900 if players pay half the cost of
sticks; gate,receipts of 51.800 per year, if 75
fans attend each game; receipts from 50-50
draws and a hospitality room.
"To get rolling, we need 59,000 for
equipment'," said Mr. Dillow. "Service clubs
and individuals have shown an interest in
financial assistance."
Expens s of other clubs were compared.
Howick had a first year expenditure of
520,000 and 515.000 the following year;
Wingham spent 517,000 and Clinton,
530.000. "Their's is high because of
transportation costs. We're lucky because we
have a Booster Bus," Mr. Wheeler said.
"1 thin it's time we made a move. We
should get a team, choose an executive and
go right ahead with it," said Wayne Lowe.
"1'm sure we can get the players. Money is
only a small thing: We can get it."
"There has always been a great enthusi-
asm in th's town", said Mr. Ten Pas. "I see
no reason why a junior team can't go."
The pr¢blem of raising $250 entry fee was
averted When Mr. Lowe offered his 5300
Brussels,Morris and Grey recreation salary.
"I'11 put it up and 1 don't even .have a kid
playing hbckey. .
"The next thing is to get accepted," said
Mr. Wheeler.
