When ask- 'éd why they Ieft their native land, Mrs. Segers said, "It's no good in Holland; it's better here for our boys. There is a future in Can- ada," she sald.

He arrived in Canada in December, 1949, and today is living in flowmanyille with his father, Chong Wah Jong, wbo works at the Coronation Cafe on King Street. He said his mother and a brother, Pung Yiu Jong, are stili in Hong Kong. Quon attends Central Public School durlng the day as well as the New Canadian classes on Wed- t*sday evenings from 8 to 10 oôc1ock. In grade elght, bis teacb- e1 credits him with being a very iridustrious boy, and athough bis English is below par at present, "Mis mathematics is better than the average grade eight pupil." Quon Jong, sitting at bis usual desk at the back of the room, pro- duced a massive book and began, rummnaging through It. Mr. Slute, hiis Instructor, explained it as a Chinese-English dictionary. When othor children are assigned the task bf doing problems from a supplied mathematics book, it la relatively simple for'thcm to read what is required and attempt ta. provide the answers. WIth Quon It is different. He must look at the wording of the problem carc- fully, then produce his massive dictionary, look up an English ex- pression and by reading the Chiui- ese characters offered as explan- ation, gain Insight Into the actual meanlng of the problem. Cer- tainly not the easiest way of pacs- lng entrance examinations.
