4 The Sandy (Ore.) Post Thursday, Mar. 21, 1963 (Sec. 2) Chinese New Year In Hong Kong Provides Noisy Exciting Fun The Peninsula Hotel was sound asleep and so were we shortly — to wake in the morn ing to a breath taking view out on the harbor of that fas cinating city. To our dismay we discovered that we were to be there over the Chinese New Year — fun to see but death on tailoring We rushed like mad and by dint of small extra sums of money and a lucky break Bob was able to have some things made in the one day before the holiday. Actually some of the holiday had started the day The night was made hideous by exploding firecrackers and everyone in the world seemed to be either piling onto the trains heading up for the bor der or on the ferries going back and forth to Hong Kong. We enjoyed every minute of it all. Ronnie and Stephanie had us for lunch their beautiful apartment high on a hill over looking Repulse Bay and some of the members of the Medical School faculty to meet us. We all nearly froze because those great stone buildings have no heat of any kind and a chill north wind was blowing fierce- ly- It was quite like England to find us all gathered around a one • burner, inadequate heat- Ronnie and Bob finally could bear it no longer and de cided to invest in a few fire crackers. So as evening came on we found ourselves on the terrace of an ancient Portuguese mon astery. which is used as one of the dormitories, setting off pin wheels and rockets against a palm tree background. Tre mendous fun. Setting Like Novel The Peninsula Hotel at morn ing coffee and afternoon tea was just like the setting from a novel and we loved it all. We ran into the Wickmans from Portland and had a delightful dinner with them. Then some people we had met on the plane turned up, so that all in all it was a very pleasant holiday. We took a car one day and rode up into the New Terri tories to look across the border at Communist China. Actually most of the refugees now are crossing the Portuguese island of Macao just down the coast, but we were told that during the New Year holiday many would try to come on the railroad. The Hong Kong government has done a super ■ human job, it seems to me, in resettling these hordes of people who have descended on the tiny penin sula of Kowloon We visited one of the resettlement buildings, By our standards, one room with a barred door in a tene- ment with several hundreds (maybe thousands» of others seems pretty grim, but they seem accustomed to many peo- pie in a small space and tainly there is work in the city for everyone. Many textile factories springing up and all sorts of industry is booming From our window we could watch the train setting forth for the north every morning and returning in the evening. One used to be able to on and travel to Canton and Peiking but now one must get out at the river which is the border and walk across the no man's land between to board another train and we, of course, cannot go there at all. European At Lusted— Birthday Party Honors 3 Ladies By MRS. J. II. DOLLOWITCH Look I was unprepared to have Hong Kong look so much like an old European city. And I do wish they were not going to pull down every single old Portuguese house. Many of the like the I hill streets of and some- times I was reminded very much of Malta. The island is beautiful with lovely bays and beaches and the hills were crimson with the sumac in bright red leaf at this time. The junks and sampans at Aberdeen - crammed together were, of course, all gaily decorated for the holiday and had crimson flags and gold let ters proclaiming, ”H a p p y New Year.” One and all the people were smiling and hap- Scout Field Trip 5 Boy Scouts made a Saturday field trip to Zig Zag Mis Mabel Simmons of Van- couver.

We filter it, then boil it for ten minutes, then put it in bottles which must coo] be fore they can go in the refrig erator. And then we go through the whole process over again.

I couldn’t tell you what is going into it but whatever it is it all came from the local market. As far as language goes I have three phrase books and each one is more inadequate than the last Every single one is written for people living in hotels and sending their laun dry out and catching trains and going to the cinema, and about housekeeping, cooking or any of the more important facts of life. After we get really settled, I shall get a teacher and really buckle down to work.

I go to market with a dictionary in my bag and fortunately, al- most everyone can read this difficult script. so, so far I have done all right. Pongsri is a good marketer but it is lots of fun to go eith- er alone or with her. There is such a wealth of produce : vegetables, fish, meat and fruit to choose from. The market, curiously enough, is quite clean, does not smell and the fish and meat part is screened. Every day shrimp come up by train from Bangkok packed in ice, and all manner of other fish oc topus, scallops, bass and some thing that looks like tuna.
