. MF foag, Kas Difficulties of Identification at UM
By DOUGLAS LETTERMAN.
In the Christian Science Monitor

OTTAWA.—A handsome young
man, plainly an Oriental, walked
into a session of the Legal Com­
mittee at the United Nations and
sat down behind the desk'marked
“Canada.”’ An,usherette came up
and whispered discreetly:
“Excuse me, sir, but haven’t
you made a mistake? This is the
Canadian'section.”
The young man smiled broadly
and replied:
“Yes ma’am, arid. I am the representative from Canada.” . The
usherette blushed, but Douglas

Canadian member of Parliament,

right. That sort of thing happen­
ed to him every day.
Since last June, y/hen he de­

in the former- Liberal government
to become MP for Vancouver
Centre, Doug Jung has had diffi­
culties of identification. This has
surprised him a little because, in
his own words, “I’ve always
thought of myself as simply a
Canadian.”
. ’
This lawyer- is much more at

jority of clients are Occidental,
pot Chinese. His election to Par­
liament last June was on a land­
slide of Occidental votes. How­
ler, he would have been elected

even if alt the Chinese in his district had voted against him—
which, curiously, many of them
did.
“Perhaps I’ve become too wes­
ternized for some of my own
people,” Mr. Jung muses. But he
is convinced their future lies in
this direction.
“Minority groups should not
remain apart. They should try to
spread out, become part of the
Canadian scene. This is the way
to assimilation.”
At the same time he believes

Chinese Potato Bootlegger, 60, Ruhs for Delta Reeveship

is a very formidable opponent.

Chung Chuck is also a very

persistent man.
.
He’s been arrested 59 times so
fax- for potato bootlegging, that.
is, selling spuds without channel­
ing them through the marketing
board.
No one can say Chung Chuck,
who is now 60, isn’t willing to
give his friends, and people he
hadn’t met before, a helping
hand, without hope of reward.
He’s been to court 600 times to

act on-behalf of others, he says,
And never let it be said he’s
afraid of hard work.
Chung Chuck likes hard work,
18 to. 20 hours a day of it.
UNORTHODOX MAYBE
What, say you, does all this
lead up to ?
Chung Chuck, a Delta potato
farmer and wholesaler, thinks
the above attributes make him an
ideal candidate for public office,
so he’s throwing his hat in the
ring and running for the reeve­
ship of Delta municipality.
His platform may be consider­
ed a bit unorthodox by some peo­
ple, but there’s no disputing the
fact that Chung has the view­
point of the little man at heart.
As an example, he thinks the
volunteer firemen in Delta are

deserving of a Christmas present
from the municipality, a small
token of gratitude.
. He thinks nickel telephone
booths should be put up at stra­
tegic points (with the municip­
ality paying the other nickel) to
help people with car trouble.
4 MONTHS’ GRACE
you
Winter unemployment,
say?
Chung Chuck has a partial an­
swer to that: hire 25 men every
Nov. 15. Give them two weeks
work at $45 a week cleaning up
the municipality’s ditches. The
next two weeks, get another 25
men.’ The men who work from
Dec. 15 to the end of the year, of
course, would get their pay che­
ques on Dec. 20th, “they need
money for Christmas.”

Not only that, but Chung’s
platform calls for giving people
who are sick or out of work an
extension on their tax payments
of up to four months, without in­
terest penalties.
He has all the spots picked out
for traffic lights; he knows which
telephone or power poles have to
be moved back to make corners
safer.
T NO LAZY’
And because “taxes are too
high” he plans to open up thous­
ands of acres of new land for de­
velopment, to share the tax bur­
den.
“People elect me, I work hard,”
promises Chung. “I no lazy. I not
crooked, -either.”
Sounds like a real good man.
Now, about those .potatoes. . .
