Kin-Hing Is One of a Kind

By JOE C. MORRIS Correspondent It was nearly midnight when Kin-Hing Luk arrived last week, by jet, from Hong Kong to enter the UM. We met him at the airport, and he was mighty glad to see someone he knew. On our trip around the world in February, my wife and I met his father, Ping-Tong Luk in Cambodia. He was then a French-English-Chinese interpreter for the United States Overseas Mission in Laos and was being sent home to Hong Kong on furlough. He confided to us that "furlough" meant, "Don't call us, we'll call you." Our friendship developed during the next few days as Mr. Luk helped us see more sights around Hong Kong than we ever would have seen alone. And later, after we were home again, we helped arrange for his son to study at UM in preparation to become an aeronautical engineer. Luk Kin-Hing is the Chinese way to address this slender, 18-year-old boy, who wears glasses with a brown trim top. His command of the English language after five years study, is typically American. It should be. He was taught by a Texan who went to Hong Kong. Stepping out of the plane, he spotted us at once. We heard him shout; "My father and mother send you greetings!" The next night at dinner we asked him to say "hello" in Chinese. He answered very seriously. "Wai," pronounced WAY. But all the Chinese in Hong Kong say, 'hello.' "What do you think of television? Do you want to watch it?" we asked him. "I may watch it someday," he said, still serious. "I'll be too busy studying and will not have time." This was the only un-American-sounding thing he said. We let it pass. His first full day seeing America was ending. He had looked as we must have looked in Hong Kong, with long absorbing looks - at the houses, streets, cars and people—everything. He saw all the things we take for granted everyday. It made us look, too. And he's right. Coral Gables is a "wonderful place to reside." Every once in a while, it seems to me, it helps a person to "see better" if he looks at things through another person's eyes. There are more than 500 foreign students at UM. Many of them would be glad to help some Gableite see his city's sights, if only a local citizen would show the way. It might also be an antidote for that dreaded disease, known to many foreign students, homesickness! Kin-Hing already has the symptoms. This is the first time he's been away from home. But he has someone who cares.

They Spent Summer In Lord's Work

While many teenagers spend summer hours dreaming of ways to entertain themselves, four local girls put in 31⁄2 hours a day in Christian activities at the Kingdom Hall for Jehovah's Witnesses at 3161 SW 21st Terrace. The girls Carolyn Minchener, 17, 3231 SW 2nd St.; Sara Nuzzo, 17, and Laura Nuzzo, 15, 445 Almeria Ave.; and Debbie Betz, 14, 1202 Asturia Ave., began their day with a door-to-door campaign contacting persons interested in furthering their Bible education. They conducted Bible studies with other young people and often with older persons. The teenagers agree that they did not miss the fun of summer. Carolyn said, "I feel at this work keeps us busy with the spiritual things, although we always find time to swim and go to the beach also." A comment from Sara: "I feel that keeping integrity to God is more important than just having fun, although this work brings much enjoyment." Youthfulness they feel, does not work against their activities. Instead, Laura cited the scripture, "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers in work, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith and in purity." Their work this summer, the girls feel, can be integrated into school and social associates. Debbie commented, "In following Bible principles we learn to be respectful and obedient to our teachers and parents and to choose companions with Christian ideals." Although the girls are back in school they plan to continue their work but in a more limited degree.
