[from CHOWR%HSCvax.McMaster.CA] In a study of 2500 men and women in Shenyang, researchers have found a high incidence of lung cancer. Though many of the study participants contracted lung cancer from smoking, a significant number (about 15%) have developed the disease from air pollution. Shenyang is a heavily industrialized city in northeastern China. -rc -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. News on the Family Reunion from Canadian Embassy in Bejing - by the Student Affair Group of FCSSC FCSSC == Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars, Canada == Quan Jia Xue Lian (2,1,2,2) (in Chinese) SAG == Student Affair Group of FCSSC -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yesterday, the Hamilton local CIC office received a telegram from the Canadian Embassy in Beijing, concerning the recent prro- cessing of the applications of the spouses and children of the Chinese students and scholars in Canada. Mr. Nigro, the Hamilton CIC chief offcer, said: Canadian Embassy is overloaded with the applications from spouses and new students (by more than 100%). But the family reunion issue is still the priority for the Embassy. What the Embassy wants is: to ask the Chinese students who want to bring their spouses and children to Canada, to contact their local CIC and provide your sposes' name, address and related information in Chinese. Then the local CIC will send the information to Canadian Embassy, and the Embassy will contact the spouses and family members in China to have their physically exiamined and the application processed. Instead of the spouses going directly to Embassy and asking for visitor's visa or the landed immigration. It should be other way around. For more information on the issue, please contact your local CIC office. But Mr. Nigro suggests us to wait for a while for the respond from Ottawa -the headquater of Immigration, since FCSSC has already sent a inquiry letter to the Minister of Immigration,a couple of days ago. SAG will keep informing you any progress on this family reun- ion issue. If you have any suggestion and inquiry, please send it to in%"wangrq@SSCvax.McMaster.ca" - Dennis, SAG member of FCSSC LUDENNI@JHEvax.McMaster.CA ============================================================================= News Transmission chi@vlsi.uwaterloo.ca (or) -------------------- --------------------- Local Editor: Bo Chi chi@vlsi.waterloo.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wed Dec 6 15:07:20 EST 1989
