sary” for those who requested re­
patriation to report to medical
officers, it is not an order but
intended in the nature of a request, it was learned.
These notices have been sent,
out to persons who requested re­
patriation, regardless of whether
they have asked for cancellations.
The immunization treatment be­
ing carried out under instructions
from the Vancouver" office provides for inoculations against typhoid and para-typhoid, and vac­
cination against small-pox.
It is understood most persons
receiving the notices have shown
a co-operative spirit and reported
for inoculation, even though they
have no intention of going to
Japan. Some, however, have re­
fused to take immunization treat­
ments.

Based on reliable information,
the number of persons who re­
quested repatriation in this prov­
ince. is estimated to be ixx the
neighborhood of -100 persons, or
35 percent (somewhat less than
previous estimates) of the local
evacuee population.

TORONTO. Ont. —Single Japanese nationals, naturalizedi cilizens without family, and single
:
Canadian-born persons of Japanese race in eastern Canada have
received notices to report for immunization.
The first eastern contingent of
30 repatriates, six from the To­
ronto area, has been prepared, it
is reported.
Total signatures fox’ repatria­
tion in the eastern region cover­
ing the area from White River to
the Atlantic is approximately 175.
With no record of cancellations
being available at the Toronto
office, it is not known how many
of them still intend to go to Japan.

Nisei Soldiers Learning Japanese
From Occidental Language Experts
VANCOUVER. B.C. — Japanese
Canadians, who have learned to
speak the Japanese language at
an army school in West Vancou­
ver, were being readied today to
report for duty with the British
and United States armies, the
Vancouver Province reported Jan.
12.
They are 16 Canadian-born of
Japanese origin, out of a group cf
22 that includes one Chinese and
five Occidentals who have studied
Japanese for the past 12 months
under instruction of Occidental
experts in the tongue and written
word.
Two previous graduates are
serving in General MacArthur s
command; Others' are elsewhere
with i the - British Army and in
Washington, where a vast job of

translating Japanese documents
has been under way since the
enemy's capitulation.
Ail of them are members of the
Canadian Army, for general ser­
vice.
One of the best of the language
students was reported to be a
young Chinese who was very pop­
ular in the West Vancouver bar­
rack building, where he lived with
lads of Japanese ancestry.
The group includes three occi­
dental officers and two otheiranks. The three officers are:
Major T. P. Horne, Lieut. L. C.
Fletcher and Lieut. A. P. Mc­
Kenzie.
About 40 remain at the school
for the final term of instruction,
tentatively scheduled to end in
June.

Postpone Sailing of First Group
Scheduled to Leave Canada in Jan.
OTTAWA—Officials of the Department of Labor have
announced that, the proposed deportation of Japanese from
Canada will be suspended until the Supremo Court, has
rendered its opinion on the validity of the three orders-incouncil providing for deportation.
The hearing has been sex for
Jan. 24. but it is expected that the
opinion will not be ready until
some lime in February.
Aime Geoffrion, prominent Mon­
treal constitutional lawyer, will
aid D. W. Mundell of the depart­
ment of justice in combatting the
contention of the Japanese Cana­
dians contesting the right of the
government to deport certain
categories of Japanese by orderin-council.
J. R. Cartwright, a constitutional
layer in Toronto, will present the
argument for the Japanese Cana­
dians.
In the meantime approximately
1.000 Japanese nationals who were,
scheduled to leave in January will
remain in Canada, pending the
court's decision.
The first group is reported to be
all Japanese nationals including
50 single women, a few married
couples, and the remainder, single
men. It is believed persons who
have cancelled theix- repatriation
requests are not included.

been given up, it was explained at
the meeting of the Co-operative
Committee for Japanese Cana­
dians here.
Fox- the time being, the fate of
the repatriates rests in the out­

come of the Supreme. Court hem>
ing, but educational campaigns to
inform the public about the Japa­
nese problem are being continued
in Winnipeg and othei- Canadian
cities.

McMaster To Act
For B.C. Japanese
VANCOUVER, B.C.—R. J. Mc­
Master. Vancouver barrister, has
been retained by Japanese through­
out British Columbia to look after
their interests in repatriation mat­
ters. the Canadian Press reported.
Mr. McMaster said that at. pres­
ent he is just "watching” since
he doesn't want to duplicate the
action of a Toronto group in test­
ing the validity of the govern­
ment's deportation orders.
The Vancouver barrister ex­
plained that the Supreme Court
case will be centred on the legal
question of whether the orders are
ultra vires.
There remains the question of
whether the Japanese understood
the repatriation requests could be
cancelled ox- whether they were,
signed under duress. These, Mr.
McMaster explains, are matters
which will be studied if the Su­
preme Court upholds the govern­
ment.

Lemon Creek Enjoys
Busy Festive Season

Athletic Club Dance. This Nisei
event of the year took place at
the well-known Victoria Hall on
December 28. On entering tlxe
hall, you could immediately* notice
the difference between this year's
dance and the previous dances.
Striking colors were dancing be­
fore our eyes. Niseiettes adorned
in their best formats were out to
make an evening of this affair-.
I'd say* that two-thirds of the .wo­
men were wearing long dresses,
Original styles were noticeable,
such as an orange gown with
black lace trimmings, black vel­
vet, etc. However, the ipost popu­
lar colors were white and blue.
Like all Nisei dances it took some
time fox- the crowd to warm to
the dance, but it wasn't long be­
fore the home waltz came around,
much to the dismay of the crowd.
With the approved reception of
this year's crowd, it promises to
become a semi-formal affair next
year.
This was one affair where the
Niseiettes enhanced with their
beauty aud sex-appea] power. They*
really looked more feminine — a
truly easy sight, fox- sore eyes. It
was a good dance.
