It was the one at Expo; beatitiful- ly done and rather difficult -to find its counterpart in reality. Next we went to a dance school where we witnessed a production by the conductress - and her pupils, folk dancing in •costume. The production was beautiful, the girls lovely. One lassie gaVe a demonstra- tion of drum beating using '5 drums and 2 sticks. She kept the batons going in rhythm and speed. This evening, evening, our guide Charlie took us through the busiest streets, filled with • people, to attend a Presbyter- ian Church service Conducted by Rev. Lee, Hak inn using an interpreter; Rev.. Han, . Jai Ho, for out benefit. They sang in Korean, .ave -sang, the same - w hymns in English. After the • service we• were given trays as mementos. • jihe minister has two daugh- ters in Toronto working with World Vision, a church organ- ization taking care ofprphan children everywhere. It is non-denbminational. Some of our party have foiterchildren under this plan; Next day we went to headquarters where,the children were assembled to • meet their -foster parents. There were two boys and one aid: Mr. and Mrs. Burke's son was.. only 2.1 years. The excitement, • and strangers were too much for him. He cried and clung to the nurse. Nothing drastic hap- pened. .We then went to the auditor- ium and were entertained by the World Vision Korean Orphan Choir. 'Their performance was perfect a- out of this world. They gave us an hour ancra . half orthe best singing I have ever heard. The soloist. about 14 years could go on any stage. They have sung four times in Canada and United States. I believe, they sang on the Ed Sullivan Show. • • Before going to World Vision we went to Gana - Am Farm, consisting of seven acres. The • owner, conducts an 'agricultural school to teach the farmers and farmerettes better Methods. The instructor limits the classes to fifty,• all ages from 23 to158 years. The students pay by . putting in 2 hours work a day. All meals are supplied. The farm was started 13 years ago and in 6 years hat graduated •-15.000.... It is a 2 week? coerse. The students come from all parts of Korea. The school motto "Work hard, live for others, sacrifice for others". They attend chapel three times a day. • The land in Korea costs from $800 to $1000 an acre. Labor to hire $120 for 7 hours. On the Gana-am'farm is one cow, which works; one calf; 2000 chickens of which 1000 are layers; 500 broilers are sold the rest eaten. The eggs cost 20 to produce ten and are sold for/440 for ten at the farm and •.620 at' the store. Yellow corn, maise, vegetables, sweet pot- atoes, and big strawberries are the crops grown. This farm is not the best soil rather yellow'. Sotne irrigation is used and some commercial fertilizer, mostly nitrogen.. What feed is bought comes a feed mill probably originally from Aust. .ralia, 1 forgot to mention we alto visited the World Vision llospit., al where all children are cared *for, not just orphans; It was quite an experience for me to ee ,All Children". • The last evening we were invited to Mt. Lee's nephew's homef9f *Omer.- ,Pur aloes were left at the do4r. We Sat On cushions around tables about 16" high. We were given a Banquet spelled' with a capital 0, all cooked and baked by his wife in 4,n0etside kitchen away from the *main house. There Inuit have been ten courses, •1 saMpled onty a few .of them. The meat was c'ooked on the table ia (tent of you. It was de- licious. Vegetables raw and cooked; four different fruits, grapes, apples, pears and per' a simmons which looked and tast- ed like figs1. and of course ban- anas arid tangarines; fish rolls, rice honey cakes, and rice in other dishes Then the tables and excess food were carried out. After these were removed drinks were served -- coffee;`) tea, coca cola, orange juice, mineral water. Now Mr. Lee introduced us t� his family. First his mother, his 1st, 2nd, 3rd sister, then niece, after came his brotherand nephew find last his wife. Later he brought in his 42 -day-old 'son, • a cute little, sleepy, black - haired tyke. The Lees entertained us with Korean folk songs and hymns we knew. Then we all sang together songs we both knew, Canadian songs including 0 Canada arid Auld Lang Syne (which really is Scotch). We finished with us singing "For they are jolly good fellows". The Lees came totheairport to say goodbye. The younger son and his bride are coan tO Philadel- phia.to go to 400l.1gave him our addre I' hope he will visit us. We are proud of our country and our town. There is much, much more, I could tell but we'll make this do fOr korsa 'for OW, Ambassador Hotel Hong Kong February 11, 1968 Finally arrived here after a long wait in Osaga. Came by Cathay Pacific. In the morn- ing took a trip around Kowloon point 2 sq. miles, Hong Kong island is 29 sq, milesLantau island 56 sq. miles, Stonecut- ters island sq. mile, and New Territories 310 1/8 sq. miles in which in 1966 about 3,785300 people lived. The density in • some areas is 2800 people per acre, Hong Kong has 1,005,041 population, Kowloon 1, 579 ,825. New Territories:401,945 and 138,320 of the people live on the Bay in boats, sampans, etc. There are Class I apartments of many storeys for the more well-to-do, costing 356 Hong Kong dollars per month, per unit.' Class II for lower income group, you must have at least° 5 children to get a lease' --so H, K. is overrun with children. Each building houses 2090 to 2500 people. The cooking is done on the verandahs. Eighty-five percent of all the people can read and write. There are taut universities. Tuition is $500 yearly. Only 2,000 are accepted and these „. must be top students. Hong Kong was leased to Britain in 1898 for 99 years, so have ,30 years to go yet. Two crbps a year are grdwn, fruits of all kinds and veget- ables, but much of the food comes from Red China, mostly grain and meat. • There are no restrictions to go to China but one must have a permit to enter Hong Kong from Red China. There are many duck farms. Chickens areylentiful. Sugar cane is grown for juice, not sugar. The rice plots are mostly owned. Some are rented, but the acre- age is small, the customary 2.2 ares, • Hong Kong is mountainous as is Korea and Japan, hence the terraced paddies' up the sides of the mountains. They are also fillingin the bay to make more building space. • We visited Hok Ma Chau police post. There are only 9000' policemen for the nearly 4,000,000 in and around Hong Kong. From the police post we went up the hill summit to look over at Red China. The small rivet in the valley is the ghts of tile otig Kore boundary, The barbed wire knee is on the Hong Kong • skle a the river. Nextwas Fan Ling and the beautiful 18 hole golf course. After Fan Ling is Tai,P0 Bay where ihe Huklo boat people •live on the junks and sampans, all jammed toether, The Uv• ing looks meagre. The child. ren swarm around askkng for backshees, several carrying babies on their backs. . We followed the coast of Toio HarbOur to Shatin passing •,uhder the famous Amah• Pick. Next the Kowloon reservoir *here the water is stored and the new Carlton Hotel. Here • • we got a glorious panorama of Hong Kong harbbur. There is no municipal re lief in Hong Kong. The •churches take care of the in- &gents. Mr. and Mrs. Kerr of Chatham, in our party, have a foster child here. I don't know • whether they got to see the hild. Our tour time was limited, being Chinese New Year, and the three-day holiday left little time to shop. • The night °flan. 31st we drove by bus on the Garden • Road to The Peak of Hong Kong The view was magnificient, like San Francisco with the lights below and the ships in • the harbour. Then down again through the Chinese section with the stalls and markets, on down towards' Aberdeen where by feriy we got to the floating restaurant and a sumptuous dinner in a beautifully decora tive setting, It cannot be put into words at least not by an .amateur like Me. It just. has to be seen.. After dinner, which we ate • using chop sticks(Ihve a pic- ture of this) we returned by • ferry to the bus, then drove across the island toanother ferry where the bus was loaded on, and off to a night club where for the price of a drink you could watch a show port raying Chinese dancing. The dancing Was livelier than the Japanese but was quite enter- taining. The highlight was the final Lion Dane, two small lions and One big lion. The dance is done under the baton of a diretOr. The lions were two girls and two men. ' Next morning, a dairy farin • with 2000 attle. (1000 Milk., ing), mostly Holsteins, some Ayrshire.

H.S. student who now attends school in London. on Saturday captured the WOSSA wrestling championship in the 168 lb.' class, the title he held last year when wrestling with the Must- angs. We were a little concerned that Norm had lost weight when it WiS reported in the London Free Press that he had been last year's champion in the 183 lb. class. However, that was an error and apparently hi § weight has remained unchanged. The Mustangs didn'tlnake it 444 meet this year. They started for London by bus on Saturday morning but after three hours on the road turned back, due to poor visibility. • Carl Casernore • les suddenly Word Was received on Sun- day that Carl Casemore of Ravenswood, near Forest, had died suddenly that day of a heat attack, The Casemore family at one time lived on the second concession of Kin- loss Township, a mik east of the Whitechurch School, on the farm recentty owned by Carman Whytock.
