Hiep, the wife and mother,
told in excellent English of
the severe economic dif-
ficulties and loss of freedom
following the communist
takeover in Vietnam.
Her salary as a high school
French teacher dropped to
1 500th of its former level,
which was typical of what
was happening to everyone.
People could not longer
afford to buy enough food
and clothing. Priests, nuns
and businessmen were
forced to move to un-
developed areas, build their
own homes and attempt to
grow food on arid land.
In order to leave the
country, they had to sell
jewellery, furniture, some
clothing, and borrow money

Exeter $1,688.09, Stanley

from relatives. Theyleft the
south shore of Vietnam in a
crowded, leaky boat, only
three metres long by one
metre wide, to make their
way across the Gulf of Siam
to Thailand. Nearly
everyone was sick. In return
for whatever jewellery and
money they had left, a
freighter towed them to
Thailand, where they spent
five months in a camp,
waiting to come to Canada
where they could live in
freedom. Hiep concluded by
saying she was already
registered at Manpower in
an attempt to find em-
ployment, her husband Tai
and brother Haiare beginning
their English classes, and
they look forward with
"confidence and hope" to
having a good life in this
country. The family also
includes two friendly little
boys, Thuy (pronounced too-
ee), almost nine years old,
and seven-year-old Dung
(Youn) .
