A Ross Wong, who is entitled to the | letters M.D., after his name, leaves | { St. Thomas' this week for China, his | native land. Ross was graduated | from the Faculty of Medicine, of] Queen's University, Kingston, this| spring with a fine standing, and af-| | ter successfully completing the ex- | aminations at the university, wrote | and passed the Ontario Medical Council examinations. It was his in- tention to enter a hospital in Can-| ada after graduation, but last week | he received word from a hospital in| Shanghai, China, that they would welcome him on the staff there. The record of Ross Wong is a note- | worthy one, and one which is an in- | spiring example of what determina- tion and applied energy are capable accomplishing Thirteen years| | @z0 Ross Wong came to Canada, to { St. Thomas, with his brother, George Wong, their father owning the laun-| dry business west of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. In their home | neither boy had heard | Fnglish spoken--the language of the | country to which they had come was | a meaningless gabble. They acquir-| ed the use of a few words after be-| ing in the country some months, learned to say a few simple sent- ences. George was the first to start Before trying his entrance | which he is now the proprietor. Ross was the younger, but after commenc- ing he was not satisfied with a pub- lic sehool education; "At the Collegi- ate Institute he was one of the bes: students, and it is a remarkable fact that in English and Composition he class honors. | And now, after having lived thirteen | vears in Canada, Ross Wong, M.D., ple of his native country the bene-| fit of the training he has received. Shanghai, where he will be locat- | { ed, is a city of about one million in- habitants, and the hospital to which Dr. Wong is going is one of the | largest and most up-to-date in that | A city that size offers a wide | field for anyore engaged in medical | work and there Dr. Wong will be | able to render a great service, not | only because of his ability as a medi- | cal man, but also because of his! knowledge of the civilization of tha west. Dr. Wong does not look to bel twenty-six years old, but he is, as he was thirteen when he came to | Canada. Nor is there anything about his appearance or his conversation to | distingu'sh him as a college man, ua- less perhaps 'it be that astounding English language. He is rather below the average height, probably a little above five | feet In height, broad in the Ehitiideras but not heavily built. He appears to be forever smiling, talks in a low quiet voice, and though reserved ap- pears to have that happy faculty of quickly making friends.

A pretty wedding was solemnized cn June 21st, at the Methodist par- sonage, Inverary, by Rev. R. Calvert, when Miss Edna Mae, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Garrett, Inver- ary, became the bride of Mordie John Swerbrick, son of Mr. and Mrs. George T. Swerbrick, Sydenham. The bride looked charming in a gown of blue silk with hat to match and carrying a bouquet of roses, Miss Mary C. Campbell, Verona, was bridesmaid, and Howard H. Perrin, Brockville, was best man. After the signing of the register, Mr. and Mrs. Swerbrick left the parsonage amid showers of confetti for the home of the bride where a dinner was await- ing them and about twenty guests. The groom's gift to his bride was a gold wrist watch, to the bridesmaid a gold brooch, set with pearls, and to the best man a stick pin get with pearls. Later-n the day the couple left for Sydenham, where the groom is a prosperous young farmer. ---------- The marriage of Miss Anna B.
