Appoint New Supervisor For Detailed Reallocation

BATTLE GRINDS ON
While the battle on every front
ground on in increasingly tight
and bloody fighting from Stalin­
grad to Tunisia to Buna, the break
suddenly appeared in Libya overlast week-end, where the British
Eighth Army, slowly advancing on
Rommel’s heels, but consolidating
its position and strung-out supply
lines, suddenly cracked the Axis
positions at El Agheila, forcing
the Africa Corps to retreat further
westward.
From the opposite direction,, in
Tunisia, General Anderson’s Bri­
tish-American 1st Army dug in for
a “bloody, bitter” struggle, as
strongly reinforced Axis forces
held tightly to the defense fortifi­
cations of the Bizerte-Tunis ap­
proaches. Local attacks, by bomb­
ing plane and armoured column
carried through or were pushed
back, and the steady flow of men
and material, on the one side from
Italy, on the other from occupied
Morocco, gave promise of a grow­
ing battle.No less bloody and bitter, Rus­
sian and Nazi forces ground against each other, as Nazi troops
held back the threatening Red of­
fensive along the thousand mile
front. Strong counter-attacks were
launched to relieve desperate Ger­
man positions in the central Rzhev
front, and in the Stalingrad area.
Here, Red encirclement tactics had
imperilled 300,000 Axis troops,
holding grimly to the pivotal Don
elbow, and threatening the entire
German position in Southern Rus­
sia.
Buna Village Taken
“In this incredibly tangled mass
of rank vegetation and evil smell­
ing swamps, thousands of men,
Americans, Australians and Japa­
nese, are engaged in one of the
most merciless and most primeval
battles of the war.”
Such is the position in New Gui­
nea, where campaign - weary Aus­
tralian veterans and fresher Amer­
ican infantrymen were reported to
have occupied Buna village. No
mention was made in the communi­
que of the Buna mission, still pre­
sumed held by the “resisting-tothe*-end” Japanese.
Allied headguarters said, how­
ever, that a new attempt to land
reinforcements was viciously at­
tacked, and failed in its major ob­
jective.
The A.P. reported that in broad­
casts Premier General Hideki Tojo
avoided reference to current mili­
tary developments, in declaring
that Japan had established a stra­
tegic position which would enable
her to win the Pacific War, how­
ever lengthy.
He made no reference to the
withdrawal of the Japanese mili­
tary mission from Berlin, in de­
claring that Axis relations were
free of friction.

single men who did the job this
year.

School Program Progresses In
Towns Since Policy Laid Down
Various stages of progress in the educational pro­
gram for the interior housing project are reported
from the different centres, but now that the school
policy has been defined, those in charge are pushing
ahead as rapidly as possible in organizing the school
system.

Formosan Woman Doctor
Serves at Lemon Creek
LEMON CREEK. — Assisting
here in medical work now is one
of the most interesting personal­
ities Japanese evacuation has yet
brought to light. She is Dr. A. S.
Tsai, who has been giving medi­
cal service in daily consultations,
and who may be stationed here
for some time. Of Formosan
birth, her husband is Chinese,
and she is the mother of two
children, but she has no idea of
where her family now is.
Studying at Harvard and To­
ronto, prior to the outbreak of
the war, she has.ened to Vancou­
ver as the storm clouds gathered,
hoping to catch the last boat to
Japan . . . but missed it. Her
father is prominent in medicie
circles in Japan.

Chinese Seek B. C. Vote
VICTORIA.—Chinese of Victor­
ia, through John Bong and Robert
Lowe, president and secretary res­
pectively of the Victoria Chinese
Youth Association, last week asked
the co-operation of Premier Hart
and the cabinet for a better deal,
including the vote, for B.C.’s Chi­
nese.
“The Premier was very nice to
us and promised to do what he
could,” said Mr. Lowe after the
conference in the Premier’s office.
“He said he would take up the mat­
ter with his cabinet and would
communicate with Prime Minister
Mackenzie King.”

In Kaslo, which to date has led
the way as far as education is con­
cerned, a Parent-Teacher Associa­
tion is being formed to promote co­
operation between the parents and
the Nisei teachers.
Sandou reports that the elemen­
tary and high school classes have
now been functioning since the end
of November, and the newly-ap­
pointed teachers are rapidly grasp­
ing the basic fundamentals of their
responsible jobs. Terrie Sugiura is
the Nisei director.
NEW SCHOOL STRUCTURES
In the Slocan project a start has
now been made on the new school
buildings at Lemon Creek and Bay
Farm, while remodelling of a for­
mer bunkhouse at Popoff will pro­
vide school accommodation in this
unit. Rev. Takashi Tsuji, Yoshiko
Tanabe and -Irene Uchida have
been named as Nisei school direc­
tors.
Blue prints for the new school
structures indicate that they will
each comprise twenty school rooms,
and two administration offices, and
will be two storeys high. The
school rooms will have removable
partitions, thus making small halls
available for community use. The
structures themselves will be
horseshoe shaped, the school rooms
comprising the two wings.
In Tashme registration of pupils
indicate that there will be 629 pu­
pils crowded into the school, which
will be held in one of the large re­
modelled barns. Some thirty tea­
chers will instruct classes here. Hi­
roshi Okuda and Teruko Hidaka
are directors.

Hope Elects New Council
Youth Group Seek Cottittion Hall
TASHME.—A new Japanese
Committee, which will assume a
responsible place in administration
of civic affairs in this community
of 2600 people, was elected by po­
pular ballot December 7, replacing
the original “construction commit­
tee” which has been functioning for
the past several months. The fifty
members elected will meet shortly
to choose a -working executive.
(For members of the committee
please see the account in Japan­
ese).

Some 15 single men have been
transferred to 11 - mile camp at
Hope, including both first and se­
cond generation. At the same time
it is said that leaves may be grant­
ed to those in the near-by camps,
permitting them to come by truck
to visit their families during, the
holiday season.
*
Many items of importance were
discussed when the construction
committee held its final meeting.
Concern has been voiced that al­
though the Commission’s general
store has served a great need, it
fails to stock sufficient supplies of
essential commodities such as rice,
sugar, jam and so forth.

Saturday, Dec. 19. 1942

TASHME, B. C. — Formation of
a Tashme Youth Organization,
with membership open to all young
people between 16 and 35, was ef­
fected3 here recently, and Mitsuyuki
Sakata, former active Chemainus
JCCL leader and judo instructor
■was elected president.
The Youth Organization came in­
to being when young- men’s and
youhg women’s groups' were merg­
ed, and one of its first projects will
be to push steps to make a commu­
nity hall available.
Assisting the president on the
executive are Martha Hori and
Shige Yoshida, vice - presidents;
Mutsuko Sumi and Toru Umetsu,
secretaries; Jiro Miyazawa and
Marge Takahashi, treasurers; Wal­

Internees East
Persons of Japanese race de­
tained in Ontario internment
camps are being given the oppor­
tunity to obtain their release if
the authorities are satisfied they
are not likely to be a “danger to
the safety of the State ” provided
that “they are willing to accept
employment secured for them in
Eastern Canada or the Prairie
Provinces,” the Department of
Justice has informed “The New
Canadian.”
In the case of married men,
the department said, the question
of bringing their families from
the interior settlements of Bri­
tish Columbia is under considera­
tion.
A short time ago a small num­
ber of men were released and al­
lowed to return to their families
in Kaslo and Greenwood, because
of the special circumstances
which attended their internment.

REPATRIATES will

LOSE STATUS AS

BRITISH CITIZENS
OTTAWA.—(CP) —Canadian na­
tionals or persons who are British
subject^ through Canadian birth,
naturalization in Canada or marri­
age to a Canadian, who may be re­
patriated to an enemy country will
lose their status as British subjects
by an order-in-council made public
Dec. 10.
The order, passed last November
26, was prompted by the arrange­
ments made to repatriate Japanese,
in Canada in exchange for Cana­
dian nationals and other persons
from Japan and Japanese occupied
countries to Canada.
It states that similar arrange­
ments may be made with govern­
ments of other enemy countries and
declares that “it is. undesirable that
any persons so repatriated to ene­
my territory in time of war should
be allowed to retain their status as
British subjects or as Canadian na­
tionals.”
(Since the first and last ex­
change, no word has been received
as to if or when the policy will be
continued. A number of applica­
tions for repatriation are now on
file, however, among which, it is
known, are included some from Ca­
nadian nationals).

Three-Man Commission
Relieved of Duties
* * <> ^
MANITOBA OFFICIAL

OTTAWA. —A general
supervisor for the resettle­
ment of all people of Japa­
nese origin evacuated from
the Pacific. Coast has been
appointed to take over the
duties of the three-man Brit i s h Columbia Security
Commission, it w a s a nnounced by Labor Minister
Humphrey Mitchell.
He is George Collins of Win­
nipeg, former assistant deputy
minister of public works for Ma­
nitoba. He will assume his new
duties immediately, and after
conferring in Ottawa, is due in
Vancouver, where the Commis­
sion maintains its head office.
A long-range policy now is being
developed to assimilate the Japan­
ese as far as possible into produc­
tive employment across Canada,
where their services will aid the
Canadian war effort, Mr. Mitchell
said.
DETA 1LE D R E- ALLOC ATI ON
The program of Japanese reallo­
cation has reached a stage where
close attention to detail is neces­
sary, and Mr. Collin-:’ appointment
is expected to relieve Arthur MacNamara, associated deputy minis­
ter of labor, who is also dirictor of
National Selective Service, of du­
ties in connection with the Japan­
ese.
It is understood that the exten­
sive organization built up over the
past ten months will carry on very
much as before. The chief differ­
ence will lie in the added emphasisthat will be given toAhe question.:
of resettlement and reallocation..
This policy, now that the first
phase of evacuation is over, may
be developed more carefully and
leisurely.
Mr. Mitchell’s announcement said
that members of the three - man
Commission, upon completion of
their administrative responsibili­
ties, have intimated their desire to
return to their other duties.
The three members, Major’ Aus­
tin Taylor, of Wartime Merchant
Shipping; F. J. Mead, assistant
commissioner of the Royal Cana­
dian Mounted Police; and John A.
Shirras, assistant 'commissioner of
the B. C. police, have, in fact, re­
tired from the major portion of ad­
ministrative detail for the past
some time. Mr. Mitchell expressed
appreciation, of their work, as well
as that of Mr. M'acNamara.
Visiting in Kaslo Thursday was
Father Duchesnay, Catholic mis­
sionary in Japan for 16 years. A
fluent speaker in Japanese, Father
Duchesnay met a number of for­
mer internees whom he came to
know in camp in Ontario.

SANDON, B. C.—Winter has ar­
rived in Sandon, but the common
opinion seems to be that the cold
is not felt so much, even though
the temperature drops. This may
be due to the fact that we are
sheltered from cold winds, as well
as to the good heating facilities
available here.
Sickness and ill-health is very
low. there being only a dozen peo­
ple or so confined to the hospital.
This, despite the comparatively
large number of elderly people
here.

Ceremony marked the opening of
the elementary school on Decem­
ber 1, with parents taking a keen
interest in the solution -to a pro­
blem which has caused them much
concern. Speeches were heard from
M. Ohashi, president of the Japan­
ese Committee, K. Usui, education
department head, and Miss Sugi­
ura.
The children joined in the sing­
ing of the National Anthem and
“0 Canada” and were then divided
•into the various classes, for place­
ment in the school rooms which
have been made available by the
Commission.
Classes began the next day
under the following teachers:
Tatsue Nakatsuka, Fumiko Na­
katsuka, Toshie Takata, Ayako
Ono Michiko Anpi, Kanae Miya­
ke, Emiko Sugiura and Haruko
Ito.
Although some of the teachers
have but recently graduated- from
High School themselves, they are
tackling the job briskly, and learn­
ing more of the ropes each day.
Permission to use the local hall
for physical training periods, and
the piano in the Bukkyo hall for
music, adds greatly to the scope
of activities for the school children.
Although no provision has been
made by the authorities for high
school education, the work has

GRIFFIN LAKE, B. C. — Although to us; folk born and raised
in the mild climate of the Pacific
coast winter weather with snow
and sub-freezing weather has ar­
rived, the local people here tell us
that “We haven’t started into win­
ter yet.”
Whatever it is we have, however,
it froze all the water-pipes, except
the line to the cook-house, and the
only bath left to us is the good old
“nihon-buro.”
(This weather report dated Dec­
ember 8th, 1942.)
Skating and skiing occupy the
free time of the boys hr camp in
this section now.
Occasionally some of the boys go
to Revelstoke to play basketball against the high school team there.
Solsqua and Taft have each won a
game to scores of 38-25, and 23-21
respectively. Griffin Lake camp
played on December 11.
Winter sports, however, are not
without casualties, two men beinglaid off due to injuries.
Rev. W. R. McWilliams has again paid a visit to the camps in
this section with his words of en­
couragement to the young men
who find the close quarters of the
camp more than confining at this
time of the year. A second petition
in regard to “Christmas Leaves” is
being sent to the Security Commis­
sion.

With a good- attendance of those
interested, the explanation for me
last meeting and a resume of past
progress in educational work ac­
complished by the education com­
mittee was presented.
Now that Commission policy in
respect, to school has been settled,
the report indicated, the work of
co-operating in education had ex­
panded beyond the original on
mittee, and the obvious need
is
to organize an association of par­
ents and teachers to assist in the
school work.
A special committee was elected
to draft a proposed constitution.

The report of the educational
committee showed that temporary
schools had been operating since
early in September for grade
school children, while 45 older boys
and girls had been admitted to the
local high school. The surplus of
secondary school students were be­
ing accommodated in night school
classes, which also made it possi­
ble for young people employed by
day to study at night. This special
school has been operating since
early in October, the teaching be­
ing done by volunteers.
