To all:- I read the column while waiting for the census page to clear. It is PACKED with important items, especially about the British Home Children. Following the apology to the Chinese people re the head tax (which taxpayers will have to pay) one Member of Parliament strongly suggested recognition to the British Home Childreen, those who are found and the unfound ones. I would watch for a bill re this in the fall. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca ============================== --- Original ---- Topics in this issue include: a.. Visitors from afar a..
