people on the move from British Columbia to new homes
cast of the Rockies is on the decline. For this there are a
number of reasons. Not the least important, of course, has
been the continuing uncertainty surrounding the direc­
tion of government policy, and the accompanying feature
that pending further official moves, the Department of
Labor has not been pursuing its placement campaign with
the same vigor that has marked past seasons.

of family groups, totals have been smaller than last year,
and the monthly movements have been smaller than was
generally anticipated.
But notwithstanding the recognizable difficulties, what
appears to be the wise course now for those 'who have no
thought of leaving Canada at the war’s end is surelv to
take the initiative in their own relocation. Experience has
shown that in general those who have returned to normal
society at the earliest opportunity have made the greatest
strides toward a satisfactory resettlement.

A Ploneer Family in South Ontario
(From the United Church
.Observer.)
We found Mr. Umehara working
away in the vegetable garden on
his farm 20 miles north of Tor­
onto. He was pushing a hand cul­
tivator through the neat rows of
garden stuff. Mr. Umehara has a
power cultivator but he lets the
young folk run that while he stays
with his trusty hand machine. Mr.
Umehara was expecting us—the
us being Mr. G E. Trueman,, the
Placement Officer of the British
Columbia
Security
Commission
and the Editor. Leaving his work,
Mr. Umehara conducted us to the
house. It is an attractive farm
home just west of No. 11 Highway
■on the road that leads to the vil­
lage of King. It is half hidden
from the road by a well kept hed­
ge. We were met at the door by K
Mrs. Umehara, a kindly, motherly
woman who introduced her dau­
ghter, Millie, an attractive and
capable girl.
“I have known of your farm for
a long time, Mr. Umehara,” I
began, “and now that there is so
much interest in the Japanese in
Canada, we decided to find out
from you, if you would be kind
enough, to tell us just how it is
that you and
your family have
been able to live in this old Ontar­
io community for thirty-five years
and become so vital a part of it.”
HELPED BY MISSIONARY
“Well”,
said
Mr.
Umehara,
“when I was a young man in
Japan I was ambitious to get
along. I spoke to our missionary,
Dr. Dan Norman, about my hopes;
he told me he thought there woubi
be' a good opportunity for me and
my wife in Canada. So he brought
us with him on his first furlough
in 1906 and got work for the both
of us with E. J. Sparling at Por­
tage la Prairie. He left us there as
he came east. While, visiting his
old home district near Temper­
anceville, he persuaded his friend,
Mr. Jonathan Beynon, a prosper­
ous 'farmer, to take me on as a
hired man. So I left my wife in
