Syracuse; Gets A Touch Os Old World Culture

The town of Syracuse has gained a new resident, one who brings to the community a touch of old world culture, one who will most certainly brighten those around her. She’s diminutive Wong Ying Ho. at 76 years of age. a slip of a woman measuring 4’ 7 ” in height and weighing no more than 85 pounds. But this tells such a small part of the story. Mrs. Wong, who speaks no English — only Cantonese Chinese — shakes hands by using both her hands, flashing a quick smile, bowing graciouslv from the waist. Mother of Foo Wong The new resident is the mother of Foo Wong, who with his wife Faye, are well known owners and operators of Foo -& Faye’s Cantonese Restaurant, located south of Syracuse on road 13. one of the area’s most popular eating places. Mrs. Wong arrived in America two weeks ago. accompanied by her grandson, Corwin (Corky) Wong, a 1970 graduate of Wawasee high school and son of Foo and Faye. The Wongs flew to Hong Kong in January of 1969 to visit Foo’s mother, and it was at that time that they first got the idea of bringing this noble figure to American shores Corky flew to Hong Kong, flying back in the heralded 747 Jumbo Jet to Seattle. Wash., where they visited Faye's parents. Mr. and Mrs. King Eng. After a visit there, they flew to O’Hare airport in Chicago, then to South Bend where they were met by Mr. and Mrs. Foo Wong for a happy American reunion. For an aged woman who was bom in Canton, on the Chinese mainland, reared and lived her 76 years in the International City of Hong Kong, her past four weeks of travel is more than most people travel in a lifetime. Re-Elected To County Welfare Board Mrs. Nellie Garman was reelected president of the Kosciusko county welfare board last week. Leon Kubacki, well known Pierceton resident, was reelected as vice president. Director Howard Johnson reported that total expenditures for the month of July was $24,127.; old age assistance was the largest item at $2,800; and aid for dependent children at $10,245; crippled children aid $2,089.

Citizen Wong Ying Ho —

Mrs. Wong dresses in a dark gray two-piece, pajama-type garment and wears, sandals, and native attire, no stockings, and has alrady found a place for herself around the kitchen of Foo & Fayes. When we found her. she was sitting on a small box in a corner of the kitchen cleaning shrimp for the evening rush of businss that was certain to come. She radiated happiness as most Chinese do. Noticed Broad Fields Mrs. Wong motored to Fort Wayne last week with Faye and quickly noticed the long roads that never seem to end. and the broad fields. She could not comprehend that a single farmer could own so many fields that make up one average-sized farm. Fave commented.

She is trying to get used to American food, mostly at the urging of her attentive grandson Corky, but she prefers Chinese dishes.

Faye reminds her that winter will soon , be here and there will be plenty of snow She will have to wear stockings then. Faye tells her. Hong Kong has a moderate temperature year around. She has never worn stockings, , but her nod and smile indicates she will be glad to see wjnter — and the snow. The stockings, well, she’ll try them when that, time comes.
