In the area of Hastings and
Ponder Streets in Vancouver, 13,C,
is the third largest Chinatown on
the North American Continent.
Here 15,000 Chinese reside and
expand their commercial talents,
some to great fortunes, while
others earn as good a living as
any average Canadian citizen.
Vancouver's Chinatown is rec-
ognized as one of the country's
outstanding tourist attractions,
It has all the atmosphere of its
Asiatic counterpart, yet its in-
habitants have conformed to Can-
adian laws and regulations. They
are rated on the coast as excel-
lent citizens.
I decided after I had visited
this colourful district, so close to
the shores of the Pacific Ocean,
that all one needed to enjoy the
experience was a 'strong stomach
and an open mind.
When I first voiced my inten-
tion of visiting Chinatown, a
member of the staff of the Public
Relations Department of the Can-
adian National Railways in Van-
couver volunteered to be my
guide. I have since wondered
whether he thought I looked like
a push over for a session in an
opium den, or the type that might
spend her bottom dollar on a
pseudo Ming vase (there are al-
most as many Japanese imita-
tions in the Chinese gift shops as
there are real Chinese wares) for
he piloted me with the solicitude
of a patronizing father from shop
to shop.
But before I got the shopping
urge I visited the office of the
weekly newspaper "The Chinese
Times". A round faced Chinese
boy volunteered some information
but not much. He fondled the
dime I had paid for -the current
issue, all printed in the hiero-
glyphics of his native tongue, and
beamed like a Cheshire cat when
I congratulated his people on hav-
ing been influential in electing
a young Chinese, Douglas Jung,
as a member of our Federal Parl-
iament.
From the newspaper office we
made the rounds of native market
shops and those designed to lure
the tourist dollar right out of any
purse. I think the shops that
fascinated me the most were the
smelly ones where barbecued
ducks and geese, highly glazed
and complete with heads and feet
hung over boxes of dried and salt-
ed fish, heads, fins and all. On an
adjacent table were piled manu-
factured wares at ridiculous pric-
es, I later found that if I had
been able to hold my breath long
enough to make my purchases in
these shops that cater to native
trade, I could have saved myself
several dollars. I found to my
great astonishment that there are
no standard prices in Chinatown,
Each shopkeeper has his own
scale and evaluation of how much
the tourist is worth while brows-
ing in his store,
I observed that men evidently
do all the shopping for the Chin-
ese domestic tables. 'Where there
were baskets of weird vegetables
displayed openly on the streets
you could be sure the patriarch
of one of the Ling, Chun or Foo
families would be carefully paw-
ing over every green bean to se-
lect the crispest and plumpest, In-
to a very Canadian shopping bag
he would pop a cucumber with
whiskers, or a vegetable that
looked as though its brocoli mo-
ther had had an affair with a
mustard plant, for it was all ab-
loom on its firm green head with
gay yellow flowers.
Trailing me with his pockets
and arms loaded with my purch-
ases, my escort with a very tol-
erant air suggested we stop for
luncheon at "The World's Most
Famous Chinese Restaurant", or
so its proprietors liked to boast.
We sipped our weak green tea
with our mouths upside down and
chewed at pieces of sweet and
sour spare ribs heaped on a plat-
ter almost as large as the table
at which we sat. Serving us was
a smiley waiter whose crisp, wire-

AUBURN WEDDING
Plunkett-Daer
(By our Auburn Correspondent)
Pilgrim United Church was the
scene of a pretty summer wedding
when Phyllis, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Clarence Daer, RR 1, Au-
burn, became the bride of Donald
Plunkett, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
fred Plunkett, RR 1, Auburn. Rev.
C. Hetherington officiated for the
double-ring ceremony.
Church organist, Mr. Jerome
played traditional wedding music
and accompanied the soloist, St-
ewart Toll, Caledonia, who sang,
"0 Perfect Love" before the cere-
mony and "Because" during the
signing of the register.
Given in marriage by her father
the bride wore a floor-length
dress of white nylon organza over
taffeta, fashioned on princess lin-
es with portrait neckline, cap
sleeves. satin cummerbund and
tailored bow. A crown of pearls
and rhinestones held her finger-
tip veil of appliqued silk illusion
and she wore long matching lily-
point gloves. She carried a bou-
quet of pink roses and stephanot-
is.
Miss Carol Jackson, London,
was maid of honour wearing a
ballerina length dress of white
nylon organza over pink taffeta
with pink satin cummerbund and
tailored bow and carried a bou-
quet of pink carnations.
Mrs. Alvin Plunkett, Auburn,
sister-in-law of the groom and
Miss Gertie Moddejobge, Burling-
ton were bridesmaids wearing id-
entical ballerina length gowns in
pink and blue nylon organza over
taffeta, styled similarly to that of
Miss Jackson and carried bou-
quets of pink and white carna-
tions,
The groomsman was Edgar
Daer, Auburn, brother of the
bride and the ushers were Alvin
Plunkett, Auburn and Arthur
Dubbledarn, Hamilton.
Following the ceremony a re-
ception was held at the "Este-
millet" where the bride's mother
received the guests wearing a
dress of royal blue taffeta with
white accessories and a corsage of
pink carnations, She was assisted
by the groom's mother wearing
a dress of white figured terylene
and white accessories and a pink
carnation corsage. For a wedding
trip to Northern Ontario the bride
donned a turquoise sheath suit,
white hat and accessories and cor-
sage of white roses.
On their return they will make
their home in Hamilton. Guests
were present from London, To-
ronto, Hamilton Oekville, Cale-
donia, Burlington, Weston, Hum-
ber Stunmit and Auburn-.
Prior to her Marriage a shower
Was held in Hamilton at the home
of 1VIrs, William Johnston where
the bride received many gifts,
like Chinese hair had been per-
manently waved into an Elvis
Presley "duck back".
This is the sort of concession
the young Canadian born Asiatics
are making to our North Ameri-
can way of life. They aspire to the
rock and roll fashion exteriorly,
but will forever remain loyal to
the customs and foods of their
forefathers, So will I. I still pre-
fer by tea black and my spare
ribs roasted with sage dressing.
