El 44 'llIijJRSiDAY, NOV. 14th, 1957 LUCKNOW WILL MISS THEM The village of Luckrcow bid a sad and affectionate farewell last week to a remark- able family. in its 29 years of residence in e Sepoy 'Town, this faint!firmly established cin themselves in the hearts of the townsfolk. Charlie Chin and his wife, Rose, came to fiencknow in 1928 to run a restaurant. The popular and highly esteemed couple of Chin- ese birth built for themselves and their family of 11 sons and three daughters an enviable reputation. As The Sentinel said, "They eon- ttributed a great Ileal to community life, hav- ing taken a prominent nt part at one time or another in sport, scholasfit, ehrtreh and social activities.'' Where the father died in 111A, .his family continued in the business. But last Nceck the remaining members „f' the family in Lucknow moved to 'Toronto, ending nearly three decades of service in the village. Goderich probably know the Chin fancily best in the field of sports and recall ` 'Phe Chin Line," the three Chinese Canadian boys who were better than average hockey players and the pride of their father. Several of the fam- ily are university graduates and more are now going through university. The entire family is studious, ambitious: and well-mannered. i The Chin family is a reminder that there are a number of Canadian munieipalities who are richer by fine Chinese Canadian families living in their midst. Another such outstand- ing fancily we can recall were the Wongs, of Loudon, who were highly respected citizens of that city for many yestrs, and among whom were several brilliant sons and daughters. Although Chinese Canadians have not been assimilated into Canadian life to any marked degree, they are, generally speaking, a fine lot of people. Ask any police magistrate how often they have ever had in their court a Chin- ese Canadian and he will have difficulty in reealliicg any. For many years, Chinese Can- adians were dismissed with the term "Chinks„ but over the past 50 years a sufficient number of exemplary Chinese Canadian families can he counted to eancel-that derogatory phrase. A BARREL OF TROUBLE A. striking lesson in keeping the upper lip stiff is given in a recent number of the weekly iulletin of the Federation of Civil Engineering 'Contractors, which prints the following letter from a bricklayer in Barbados to the firm for Which he worked: "Respected sir: {`When I got to the -building, I found that the .hurricane had knocked some bricks off 'tth'e top. So I rigged up a beam with a pulley it the top of the building and hoisted up a couple of barrels full of bricks. When I had fixed the building, there was a lot of 'bricks :the top left over. I hoisted the barrel back Ap again and secured the line at the bottom, andel then went up and filled the barrel with extra bricks. Then I went to the bottom and east off the line. "Unfortunately, the barrel of bricks was heavier than I was, and before I knew what was happening, the barrel started down jerk- ing me off the ground. I decided to hang on and halfway up I met the barrel coming down and received a severe blow on the shoulder. "I then continued to the top, banging my head against the beam' and getting my fingers jammed in the pulley. When the barrel hit the ground it bursted its bottom, allowing the bricks to spill out. I was now heavier than the barrel and so started down again at high speed. "Halfway down, I met the barrel coming up and. received severe injuries to my shins. When I hit the ground I landed on the bricks, getting several painful cuts from the sharp edges. "At this point I -must haye host my pre- sence of mind, because I let go the line. The barrel then came down giving me another heavy blow on the head and putting me in the hospital. I respectfully request sick leave." —Manehester Guardian. e New beauV.. \aw colours _Atyour korre Fo 'WITH—SMART "spacemaster" FOLDING DOORS N O W AVAILABLE IN 30 E4UTIFUL COLOURS Teaturing the exclusive Here's a new worn o' ecorative opportunity opened up for you.
