description: Vancouver is still considered, by many in the U.S.A., as a part of the wild and woolly west. So it was not surprising that when Franklin Yee Wing, 8, arrived here all the way from Maryland, he looked around and said What! No Injuns!The lad's father, Edward Yee Wing of Baltimore, Md., is a member of the AAA. Laughingly he mentioned the lad's disappointment to Harry Duker, president of the BCAA. Presto! Little Franklin was soon introduced by Mr. Duker to a real live Injun-none other than Chief Mathias, who presented the gog-eyed youngster with a beautiful miniature totem pole -an experience the boy will never forget.While in Vancouver, Mr. and Mrs. Wing and Franklin were guests of Mrs. George Lam, 4837 Puget Drive.
