Home iSIewspaper of Hills I Tllf- 1IMMII Jul I I A of CindOidn Newspaper Lumpen Limited Boat People bring out best in community In an age dominated by international xenophobia and mistrust it is particularly heart warming to so nationalities pooling their humanitarian efforts to help the soculled Boat People of lndo China Two interesting thoughts come to mind while appraising this precedented joining of hands and both are at once inspiring and enlightening The first Is that the culture and nationality of he refugees themselves appear to have little bearing upon the decision being made by benefactors around the world to come to their assistance That the refugees are fleeing the quasi Communist elitism of Hanoi rule similarly comparitively Irrelevant Instead political and nationalistic overtones of adopting families of refugees have become based something that can only be described in humanistically compassionate and even selfcongratulatory terms This will all make a great movie some day and sympathetic Canadians can be expected to land a leading role The second thought one which seems to involve North American residents in particular the way in which our communities have taken a commanding role themselves in coming to the aid of the Boat People- While federal officials and to a lesser extent those at the provincial level were considering the implitdtions of quotas and grants the ordinary citizens at the grass roots level were already organizing committees to recruit sponsors and arrange rescues Here in Georgetown a handful of citizens who will be eternally serving of their communitys respect and honor a local chapter of Operation Lifeline the Toronto based group formed to save the Boat People Last week well attended chapter meeting demonstrated the value of the group efforts as sponsors signed up to bring at least four more Vietnamesse families to Halton Hills Even in its simplest terms the feat is enormously impressive four Asian families whose members ages greatly are to be given comfortable homes in a progressively modern society half a world away from the over crowded fishing boats of the China Sea and the sweltering concentrationcamp compounds of Malaysia they left behind Likewise in towns across Canada citizens from all kinds of backgrounds and interests found themselves profoundly moved by news reports that the far East recounting the plight of the refugees The reaction in North America seemed spontaneous if not unanimous Each day since horrendous reports first started seeping in public reaction lias been largely divided judging from letters written to and published by the Toronto daily newspapers There are those who quickly point out that many of refugees chose to leave their homeland because the wealth and status they enjoyed under the old regime is not being tolerated by Hanoi Why should Canadians offer jobs homes and a share of the economy to foreigners in times of domestic crisis ask Why should the Canadian government which has never take in active role in the development or deterioration of Vietnam extend its services to some 50000 refugees some of them former millionaires by our standards That such questions are being asked is probably as much a tragedy is those that befall the refugees at sea and on shore in Malaysia In fndo China and anywhere else where genocide and its related manifestations are found he social and political implications of a given act of kindness in this case rescue must be temporarily ignored so that lives can be saved quickly and effectively None of the potential problems which might be posed by the migration of Vietnamese can be great enough that even one cry for assistance should be ignored Fortunately for all mankind the cries are not being ignored and the voices of dissent will diminish Stones about the Vietnamese immigrants about their individual pasts their lifestyles their adventures and specially about their adap tation to Canadian life will be written for years to come in the press and elsewhere What will too soon be forgotten however unfortunately will be the work of the volunteers at home whose efforts gave the refugees a new life far removed from political Hanoi and the racists attacks of the Malaysians Filipinos and Indonesians We hope instead that history will record the image of the lifeline being cast out to sea by illustrating those grasping ends of the line and thus recalling the global cry of compassion together with the refugees cries of gratitude Watching new leader should be interesting I if If ou like side lim von should
