TASHME. B.C.—All person's in Tashme with the excep­
tion of^essential workers will be cut off the payroll effective

^ most of the population will be moved to one of the two
relocation centres east of the Rockies—at Neys in northern
Ontario, or Moose Jaw in Saskatchewan.

Sirs. C. V, Booth. Mr. J. F. Mac­
Kinnon (who replaced Kir. J. N.
Lister as general manager of the
Japanese Division). Corpl. David­
son. Const. Cooper and Mr. W. W.
Dawson, who arrived in Tashme
last week.
Although no order has been
issued regarding the closing date
ci Tashme, it is understood that
the centre will be cleared at the
earliest date of all persons except
those awaiting repatriation to
Japan.
Teachers were planning to go
east as soon as the school term
ended this week.
The announcements were re­
ceived with mixed reaction, but
it was generally evident that most
Tashme people were accepting the
new orders with good grace. Some
saw in them an indication that the
government was not intending to
go through with the policy of
forced deportation.
Although most of the people will
be moved to northern Ontario or

Saskatchewan, those wishing to
move elsewhere were permitted to
make their own arrangements.
About twenty families have ap­
plied for relocation to Farnham
hostel.
About twenty-five families are
waiting to move into southern
Ontario, but the Japanese Division
is not encouraging further move­
ment into this territory.
When George Aoki, former pres­
ident of the Tashme J.C.C.A. relo­
cated to Hamilton recently, he was
armed with the names of families
wishing to settle in southern On­
tario. He is expected to work in
conjunction with the Toronto
office of the Japanese Division to
arrange, suitable transfers into
Windsor-Chatham area.

Meanwhile, the Japanese Com­
mittee of the Repatriates were
taking applications from persons
wishing to go to Japan on the next
boat.
After four years of troubled
existence, the history of Tashme
is drawing near its end.

permanent basis.
“That your petitioners are un­

natural defence area for Canada in

humbly pray that your honourable
house may be pleased to enact
such measures as may’ be necessary to make certain:
“1. That persons of the Japa­

to reside in the province of British
Columbia.
“2. That all persons of the Jap­

Washington Paper
Scores Deportation
(Canadian Press)
WASHINGTON, D.C. __ The
Washington Post in an editorial
of June 10 declared that Can­
ada's proposal to deport Japa­
nese Canadians would be “an
odious manifestation of racial­
ism."

Reviewing the Canadian de­
portation order and the pending
appeal in the privy council, the
paper urged abandonment of the
whole proposal.
“By revoking it or at least
mitigating it, Canada has an op­
portunity to set an example of
tolerance to our own country
and to the world,” the editorial
said.

“Canada will refresh its own
great traditions of freedom if it
gives these harrassed people a
chance to make genuinely free
choice now that the hysteria of
war is ended.”

All Relocates to
Qualify for Grants
TASHME, B.C.—All persons of
Japanese origin relocating east of
the Rockies are now eligible for
placement allowances, it was re­
vealed in a recent notice from Mr.
T. B. Pickersgill, Commissioner
for Japanese Placement. Previous
to June 1, persons subject to de­
portation under the orders-incouncil of December 15, 1945, were
not eligible for these allowances.
The notice states:
“Until further advised, place­
ment allowances are to be paid to
all Japanese relocating east of the
Rockies except single Japanese
nationals who signed for repatria­
tion and Japanese national couples
having no Canadian-born children
and where both signed for repat­
riation and where wife was horn
in Japan. These people will not
be permitted to go east.
“Payment to persons moving to
"hostels and eastern h o u s i n g
centres will be paid when they
leave these establishments."

Department of Labor Hostels
At Neys, Fdrnlidm, Transcona and
Moose Jaw, to Aid Dispersal
Four new manning' pools have been established in the.
prairie and eastern provinces to facilitate and speed the
relocation of Japanese evacuees from .British Columbia.
The manning pools, situated in Saskatchewan; Manitoba,
northern Ontario, and near Montreal in the province of
Quebec, will serve as distribtion centres for evacuee families

coming out from British Columbia.
Coachloads of people have started
arriving in some of the centres,
and a steady stream is expected
to follow until the bulk of the
evacuees have been moved out of
B.C.
Three of the centres are either
ready for occupancy or are being
tilled, while the. fourth at Trans­
cona. near Winnipeg, is being pre­
pared to receive the evacuees in
the near future.
Relocation figures, which are
high for April and May, is expected
to rise still higher in June as mass
movements to the manning pools
get under way.
NEYS, ONTARIO
The largest of the. four manning
pools will be located at Neys, in
northern Ontario, where a former
camp for German prisoners of war
has been taken over for the pur­
pose. Neys is about forty miles
east of Schreiber on the C.P’.R.
mainline, and about 314 hours by
train from Port Arthur.
The
centre is expected to house 150
families, or about 750 persons.
This place is in the middle of
Ontario's forest industry, and the
demand for labor in the woods
and sawmills near Neys and Kapuskasing is reported to be un­
limited.
Hospital and medical facilities
are to be transferred here from
Tashme, it is understood, and
schools will be conducted on the
same plan as in B.C. housing
centres.
FARNHAM HOSTEL
Farnham is a small town of
about 4,000 population, about 40
miles east of Montreal (one hour
by train). Eight empty buildings
and houses have been taken over
for hostel use, and accommodation

668 Moved East
Of Rockies in May
The Canadian Japanese popula­
tion in British Columbia is dis­
persing rapidly, and by the' end
of June, the province will be left
with less than halt its pre-war
Japanese population.
During April and May, 1.207
persons of Japanese race moved
east of the Rockies, and 585 per­
sons left for Japan, showing it
total decrease of 1,792, On May
31, there were approximately .12,700 persons of Japanese race in
B.C. as compared to 11,500 (esti­
mated) at the end of March.
At least another 1,300 persons
are expected to leave British Col­
umbia (about 700 on the second
repatriation vessel) during June,
decreasing the Japanese, popula­
tion in B.C. to 11,500 or less,

REPATRIATES SHOULD BRING NECESSITIES . . .

Japan Facing Shortage of Practically Everything
TOKYO, Japan — There is a
shortage of practically every­
thing in Japan.
Repatriates
from Canada should avoid tak­
ing bulky furniture and concen­
trate on bringing necessities—
and more necessities. They can­
not bring too much of clothing,
soap, medical supplies, etc.
So writes a Nisei with the Allied
Occupation Forces in Japan, in. an
airmail letter to The New Cana­
dian.
“I have just read in the local
newspapers,” says the letter, “that
a boatload of Japanese has left
Canada for Japan, and I am
prompted to write this letter with
a hope that it will be of some help
to people who are coming here.
“Japan at-present is facing a
shortage of practically every­
thing under the sun. People
coming here should realize that
they are coming to a country
where they must bring every­

thing they will need.
“They should avoid bulky fur­
niture, and concentrate on neces­
sities such as bedding, fundament-

May Establish New
Exchange Rate
A new exchange rate between
the yen and the dollar will prob­
ably be established soon—possibly
at the end of June, it is reported
by the New York Times corre­
spondent in Tokyo.
The chief reason is that the dif­
ference between the official ex­
change rate and the actual pur­
chasing power of the yen robs the
American soldiers of about 70 per­
cent of their purchasing power.
What the new rate will be is
not known, but it is expected to
be in the neighborhood of sixty,
sixty-five or seventy yen to the
dollar;

al cooking utensils, tools and
underwear, shirts, trousers, coats
clothing. There is a shortage of
all kinds of clothing: shoes, socks,
—in fact everything is very diffi­
cult to get. Durable cotton cloth­
ing should be preferred to fancy
clothing which need more atten­
tion.
“Daily necessities are almost im­
possible to get. The people in
Japan get very little soap. Those
coming here should bring soap,
razor blades, toothbrushes, towels,
etc. It is impossible to bring too
much soap.
“Medicine is scarce and an.
ample ^supply of iodine, aspirins
and D.D.T. is desirable. Owing to
the food shortage, I believe a good
stock of vitamin pills is a good in­
vestment.
“Fountain pens and watches are
hard to get. Lighters, lighter,
stones and lighter fluids are very.

Kirley.- as he-gave a final toss to
his glass of beer.
. ■
This startling accusation follow­
ed what I thought to be a rather
bright idea that I had brought up.
Now that I come to think of it, it
all ripened from our discussion of
our boy Hushman. who I tend to
call Hoseman, much to the irrita­
tion of LAC. Kirley. How would
you like to be called Ai-toe? I told
him that I didn’t mind and many
people- did anyway.
The boy Houseman, our handy­
man, is ten years old, and tends
to the business of washing our
glasses and cups, taking and bring­
ing back the laundry from the
dhobie. polishing our shoes and
tidying the room after an evening
when we recuperate from our over­
powering military duties. You can
see he is essential.
To begin with a profound state­
ment: To have a boy, one must be
able to tell him what, to do. This
is where the confusion enters iu
the case of our boy Houseman,
who is a perfect houseman, a
gentleman’s gentleman in every,
respect save one. He only under­
stands Malayan which I must ad­
mit is quite logical since he is a
Malayan boy. But logics does not
enter into this. He does compre­
hend bits of Japanese picked up
in three years of occupation but
his English vocabulary is limited
to one or two of the commonest
expressions of basic English such

as "yes.” "no” and "goodbye."
which is hardly, adequate. House­
man does not go to school.
For want of better things to do
one day (secretly I like to per­
suade myself that it was my gen­
erosity). I started to teach Eng­
lish to Houseman. I gave him six
words to learn . . . shoes, chair,
shorts, table, shirt, cup . . . and
for each one he learned, I prom­
ised him one cent Malayan (onehalf cent Canadian). It’s big of
you. leered LAC. Kirley, lolling
half-nude in the chair with another
glass of beer. I could have ig­
nored him but retorted: It’s the
spirit of the thing.
Houseman learned them in no
time and duly received his six
cents. Now. we’re getting some­
where. I said. We’ll be able to
talk to him in English. Why don't
you learn Malayan, commented the
RAF between two long draughts.
I ignored the remark.

Vernon Nisei Baseball
Quits; Suga, Sawayama
Play for Nick s Aces
VERNON, B.C. — The Vernon
Young Peoples’ Association base­
ball team, leader among Okanagan
Nisei teams, has disbanded this
year due to the departure of many
players elsewhere.
However, they are well repre­
sented in higher baseball company
this season by two former players.
Tommy Sawayama and Kiyoshi
Suga, both of whom are currently
playing for Nick’s Aces, a V’ernon
entry in the North Okanagan Main­
line League embracing teams from
Salmon Arm, Enderby, Revelstoke,
Kamloops and Vernon. Sawayama
has lost none of his old mound
prowess, and Suga has developed
into a brilliant catcher. The Ver­
non team is composed almost en­
tirely of ex-servicemen.

HAM1LTON, Ont. — With old.
building lamps as the motif , and
gay streamers decorating the “Y”
gym, the Sophy-Ed Club played
hosts to over 150 out-of-towu
guests, newcomers and Hamil­
tonians at the YM-YWCA Build­
ing Fund Drive Dance on June 7.
The highlights of the evening
were: vocalist, Molly Yanagizawa,
and pianist, Eddie Ide, both guest
artists from London. Ont. Miss
Yanagizawa’s rendition of “The
Sunny Side of the Street” brought
the house down with calls for an
encore. For her second number,
she sang “Just a Little Fond Af­
fection.” Nimble-fingered Eddie
Ide beat out his own version of
“Flying Home” and also a slick
arrangement of his own composttion, “Thinking of You.” Emceeing for the evening was the popular Kati Oyama.
The lucky' winner of the door
prize was Mrs. Roy' D. Allan,
Other prizes were awarded to
Kats Oikawa and Blanche Carawan a and Tosh Watanabe and Toshiko Arima, who were on the
spot for the “Spot Dance.”

of Isseis and Niseis, putting aside
all self-restraint, participated in
hilarious games and various sport
'activities at a picnic held at Rut­

Many interesting and amusing
incidents held the attention of all
onlookers during the entire day.
In the. races, John Naito proved
himself to be a potential fourminute miler. On the other hand,
Joe Numada seemed a pretty slow

heart in the comical barrel-rolling

There were prizes galore, giving
zest to the contests, and few in­

after the treasure hunt and free
bingo games. Pop and hot dogs
served by Jim Kitaura and his
helpers kept everyone in a satisfied mood.

ly, but the Rookies did not seem
to be quite up to par, both in condition and in spirit.
Cubs started on their scoring
spree from the very first inning.
and at no point in the game was
the lead ever seriously challenged.
The one bright star for Rookies
was Sonny Ohama, who not only
made the first run for the Rookies
in the fourth inning, but also thril­
led the fans with three “impos­
sible” retrieves. Roy O’Shiro, the
speedy teacher, brought in three
runs for the Cubs.
T. Kawasaki, on the mound for
Rookies, was credited with eight
strike-outs as against four for
Cub’.s Nakama. But Rookies made
a total of 10 errors, six more than
committed by Cub players.
