fo tne of htii and pen der streets in vancouver bc is tike third largest chinatown on the north american cwrinent here oooo chinese reside and expand their commercial talents some to greet fortunes while others earn as good a living as any average canadian citizen vancouvers chinatown is recog nised as one of the countrys out- tending tourist attractions it tu all of the atmosphere of its as iatic counterpart yet its inhabitants have conformed to canadian laws and regulations they are rated on the coast as excellent citizens i decided after i had visited this colourful district so closeto hie shores of the pacific oceanvtilati 11 one needed to enjoy the expeic ience was a strong stomach and an open mind when i first voiced my intention of visiting chinatown a member of the staff of the public relations department of the cnr railways in vancouver volunteered to be my guide i have since wondered whether he thought i looked like a push over for a session in an opi- m den or the type that might spend her bottom dollar on a pseu- do ming vase there are almost as many japanese imitations in the schinese gift shop as there are real nese wares for he piloted me withlho solicitude of a patroniz ing fatherfrom shop to shop but before i got the shopping urge i visited the office of the weekly newspaper the chinese times a round faced chinese boy volunteered some information tout not much he fondled the dime i had paia for the current is sue all printed in the hieroglyph ics of his native tongue and bea med like a cheshire cat when i congratulated his people on hav ing been influential in electing a young chinese douglas jung as a member of our federal parliament from the newspaper office we made the rounds of native market shops and those designed to lure the tourist dollar right out of any purse i think the shops that fas cinated me the most were the smelly ones where barbecued ducks saturday bridal in hornby united church express buses and geese highly glazed and- com plete with heads and feet hung over boxes of dried and salted fish heads fins and all on an adjacent table were piled manufactured wa res at ridiculous prices i later found that if i had been able hold my breath long enough to make my purchases in these shops that eater to native trades i could have saved several dollars i found to my great astonishment that there are no standard prices- in chinatown each shopkeeper has his own scale and evaluation of how much the tourist is worth mlrorowsim2 in his store i observed that men evidently do all the shopptofrfftrthe chin ese domestic tables wiere there were baskets of weird vegetables displayed openly on the street you could be sure the patriarch of one of the ling chun or foo famil ies would be carefully pawing over eyery green bean to select the cris- pest and plumpest into a very canadian shopping bag he would pop a cucumber with whiskers or a vegetable that looked as though its broccoli mother had had an af fair with a mustard plant for it was all abloom on its firm green head with gay yellow flowers trailing me with his pockets and arms loaded with my purchases my escort with a very tolerant air suggested we stop for luncheon at the worlds most famous chin ese restaurant or so its proprie tors liked to boast we sipped our weak green tea with our mouths upside down and chewed at pieces of sweet and sour spare ribs hea ped on a platter almost as large as the table at which we sat serving us was a smiley waiter whose crisp wirelike chinese hair had been permanently waved into an elvis presley duck back this is the sort of concession the young canadian born asiatics are making to our north american way of life they aspire to the rock and roll fashion exteriorly but will forever remain loyal to the customs and foods of their forefathers so will i i still pre fer my tea black and my spare ribs roasted with sage dressing on saturday september s 1bb lorn joan wrf eldest daughter of mr and mrs chff ord
