Speaks For
Festival
Eagle Point George Chee
of Hong Kong. China, was
guest speaker for a Home Ex
tension festival held in Eagle
Point recently.
I Mr. Chee compared the
! educational advantages
in China to those offered in
the United Slates, and an
swered questions.
Mr. Chee, a student at
Southern Oregon college, said
that in his opinion there are
quite a few people in the
United States to be helped
with money rather than send
ing aid abroad to foreign
countries. He suggested send
ing missionaries and teachers
to help both men and women
learn to do things for them
selves and added "the world
must balance itself out in
stead of one nation being
way ahead and one way be
hind." The speaker said Hong
Kong schools are just as high
in standards as those in the
United Stales, but that the
number attending is limited.
Chinese who are rich
enough could have as high a
standard of living as in the
United States, the student
said. Chinese do not use the
installment plan of buying,
the speaker noted, saying
"you either have the money
or you don't obtain the mer
chandise," Mr. Chee said that teenage
youngsters are very impres
sionable and need education
to keep them from turning
toward Communist China.
Mr. Chee Is studying to be
come a lawyer.

not."
