Chinese - American bachelor!
go to Hong Kong each year
in search of brides, according
to a travel agent in New
York's Chinatown. -
Harry Lee, of Harold L.
Lee & Sons Travel Service,
said that no exact figures
were available on the number
of American citizens of Chi
nese ancestry who make the
romantic journey. But he said
that easily . it runs into four
figures annually, v
"There's a shortage of Chi
nese brides in the United
States," he explained.';
"The number. of 'arranged'
marriages rum' about fifty-
fifty. In some cases the young
men go to Hong Kong to look
over the abundant crop of
women and take their pick.
In other cases, contacts are
made through friends. Often
letters and pictures are ex
changed by the ' pospective
bride and bridegroom,' '
Bride Delayed
. Lee said the round trip us
ually takes from six to nine
months. Sometimes the bride
is delayed in coming to the
United States because of the
American immigration regu
lations.! -
problems Involved in import
ing a bride from Hong Kong.
"The practice of getting a
Hong Kong :' bride is wide
spread in spite of . the diffi
culties," he said. "There is a
marked imbalance of Chinese
females to males in this coun
try; ,m-v . .' . j ' . v.
the value of documents when
they left China.
' "Another reason for want
ing a bride born in China if
cultural. Customs are differ
ent here from those in China.
The Chinese-American man
feels there is a greaer likeli
hood of finding things in com
mon and making a good mar
riage if he marries a Chinese
girl,'
Glm said an American citi
zen may bring his wife back
to the United States on a non
quota status. The law makes
no distinction, but the require-
ments for persons of Chinese
ancestry are more strict, he
said
"The American consul
wants the wife to prove her

Pineapples. Hawaii has

; century. Available throughout'
.the year, fresh pineapple is

To prepare fresh pineapple,
cut a thick slice from the bot
tom and stand fruit on cutting

handle while preparing the
fruit.-'- v-
Start cutting the rind off

a sharp, heavy knife. Cut as
deep as necessary to remove

Coconuts. The a n c e s tra
home of the coconut palm is
in doubt but certain it is that
the coconut is' found every
where in the world where
tropical conditions favor its
, growth and that means within
25 degrees north' and south
of the Equator. Our principal
sources are Spanish Honduras
and British Honduras though
some coconuts grow in Ha

Papaya Treats ': ' ' '"' ;'
! Fresh papaya is as popular
in the tropics as cantaloupes
are in our area and it is
served in the same manner -plain
or with salt, lemon, or
lime juice, It may be served
1 a la carte with' seeds scooped
out and ice cream placed in
the hollow. Give a lift to a
high protein cottage cheese
salad by surrounding It with
papaya slices garnished 'With
fresh lemon or lime wedges;,
i Papaya is an excellent In
gredient for salads, combines
well with citrus fruits and
pineapple. The green fruit
when almost mature is some
times baked or ' stewed and
eaten like summer squash.
The, ripe fruit is pulped and
made into pies, jams, pre
serves. '-''-'
Papaya Shopping Tips,
Choose firm, unblemished
fruit preferably turning yel
low at the blossom end. Fruit
should be greenish yellow to
yellow when ready for eating.
If purchased slightly on the
green side, let It ripen to yel
low and until it will yield to
gentle pressure. Ripen at
room temperature. Do not
'refrigerate until it has ripen
ed. Serve chilled for peak of
flavor. . '
Pineapple Tresis
' Fresh pineapples are sliced,
grated or cubed and eaten
plain, dipped in sugar or com-
bined with other fruits.
They're used as an appetizer,
salad or dessert; are excellent
served with meat and poultry.
Pineapple Buying, Prepar
aiiom To select a good ripe
pineapple, the "thump" Is
more reliable test than pluck
ing top - leaves. The fruit
should sound solid when snap
ped with 1 forefinger, and
thumb. The sound should
resemble thumping the Inner
side of your wrist. A little
practice should make you a
reliable pineapple picker. A
small compact, leaf crown In
relation to size of the fruit In
dicates a well-developed fruit,
Pineapples do not become
sweeter once they are picked.

I cannot understand this
rigid application of the law
in the case of Chinese.
Never Explained
"I have been to Hong Kong
and it was never -explained
satisfactorily to me." . '
Gim said .there also is a
problem with many Chinese
American men who were leg
ally married in China years
ago and who want to bring
their wives to the United
States. ', :-.';.
"The. wiyea themselves
have np birth certificates and
no marriage licenses, It's dif
ficult to prove they were ever,
married. Many bona ' fide
American citizens cannot get
their legal wives into . the
United States."
Not many Chinese-Americans
go to Taiwan (Formosa)
to get their brides, Gim said.
For one thing, the supply of
unmarried women on the is
land' is not as plentiful. But
the main reason, he said, is
that most Chinese-Americans
are of South Chinese lineage
and they want wives from
South China. Hong Kong has
them' and Taiwan does. not.
Congolese Masses Are Easily Fooled

, By GEORGE . WEEKS -United
Press International
' Washington-OJPO-Why . is it
that Catholic missionaries,
after five centuries of work
In- the Congo, are unable to
stem today's tide of violence
there and are in fact victims
of it? ; .
"A legiiiniate . question,"
said the Rev. John A. Bell
of the White Fathers, a .Cath
olic missionary . group' being
persecuted in, 'the. T Congo
where there' are more Cath
olics than in any other Afri
can nation.
"A third of the population
of the Congo is Catholic," he
said. "But Congolese masses,
like all 'masses, can be easily
fooled. Communist terrorism
is having ' more impact on
the , current situation than
Christian ,, preaching." , .
According to the informa
tion Bureau of the National
Catholic Welfare Conference,
"Five centuries of mission
ary work have given , the
church a , strong position : in
the Congo." But Father Bell
said, large scale missionary
work was not started until
the 1020's. He said religious
persecution in the eastern
Congo indicates the area may
soon fall entirely under Com
munist rule.' .'"

.-.Father Bell was encour
aged by news that Congolese
troops were able to save two
priests who were attacked
Catholic I by Congolese youths at the
mission ot St. ineresa.
But he feared further ha
rassment of priests. He said
pro-Communist officials have
been trying to persuade mis
sionaries to leave voluntarily
"so . they can be discredited
as : having . abandoned the
country in the time of need."

lceKCollege students see the
typical scientist as a man

few friends, a relatively un
happy home life and a wife

Undergraduate students in
interviews revealed that they
believe the scientist Is - un
sociable, , Introverted, highly
intelligent and objective (not
emotionally involved).
Two students' comments il
lustrated this Image, of the
scientist. One said, "I would
not care to double-date with
a scientist," and another com
mented, "maybe it's not a
good Idea for him (the .sci
entist) to be married.'.' .
Many students ; were Im
pressed by the scientist's need
to do his work, regardless of
other demands on his time.

viewed showed the same be
lief also found in many high

Coconut Cracking. The per
son who buys a coconut for
the first time wants to know
how to get at the meat and
milk. There are three soft
spots at the top of the shell.
Pierce these with an Ice pick
and drain the milk. Then tap
all over with a hammer until
the hard shell cracks and falls
off. Another way to break off
the shell is to heat the coconut
in the oven for 30 minutes
or so at 350 degrees. ,
Using a sharp knife or pre
ferably a vegetable peeler, cut
coconut meat Into thin strips.
Arrange in layer on shallow
pan or cookie sheet. Sprinkle
lightly with salt, it desired.
Toast in a slow oven, 300 de
grees, until golden brown,
watching to prevent too deep
browning as coconut crisps.
