Ori Writing Letters to Overseas

now That 'I’m home and
once more. 1 enjoy writing it too because I’ve been asked
about . the topic and because it
might help make lots of people
happy.
Leiters mean everything in the
world to fellows away from home
and things familiar. The evacua­

a good
us. didn't it? And thi
place to thank you for the letters
you did write to us all when we
were over there. If you could've
seen the wild scenes of rejoicing
when the day came that each of
us got letters, you would have had
much better expressed feeling of
appreciation than 1 am able to sayin words.
There's still lots of guys away
from home and away from Canada.
Maybe you know~some of them and
maybe you've thought about writ­
ing to them. AV ell. here's some
ideas from the experience that we
had out there.

1

i

AIR LETTERS NOT FAST
First—correct me if I'm wrong
but it actually took just as long
for an air letter to get overseas
as an ordinary four cent letter.
Coming from overseas is another
story. Air mail is much faster,
So if you at home are writing,
don't waste a dime on an air
letter and find yourselves cramped tco, when you can send hun­
dreds of ever-loving words for
only four pennies.. And
there just as soon.
What to write about? Shucks,
you’d think it’d be easy to find
things to write and yet. it’s surprising how many letters we got
that didn’t sav anvhing. And how
many others that didn’t get written because there: didn't seem to
be anything to put down. Right?
Here’s the size of it. Supposing
you’re the guy out there. Well,
chances are you'd be living and
working in a place where all you
see day upon day is males in uni­
form just like yourself, Palm
trees, rickshaws, natives yelling
in their own tongues, different
weather. a different atmosphere
hits you in the face wherever you
turn. And palm trees et cetra
aren’t any too glamorous after a
couple of days. You'd, much rather
trade them for the big chair by the
radio at home or the narrow bootn
at the corner coffee shop any day.
ANY MAIL FOR ME?
Comes mail time, you wait
eagerly as you have been doing
every day as the corporal from the
postal office brings the day’s offer­
ings to the sergeant's mess. You
start pawing them over almost
frantically—this is if you’ve been
out there only, a few months-—
afterward you get more phleg­
matic. You find a letter from a
pal back in Canada and maybe one
from a sister at home, You stuff
the letters hurriedly in your
pocket and outwardly casual you
walk slowly towards your own
bunk. Every nerve of you is tra ining to open the envelope quick so
that you can read the newsy bits
that surely must be in them: but
you congratulate yourself on your
self control and desist.
One of the other guys asks. Mail
h ere ?
Yup. you answer.
None for me. aye? His disap­
pointment shows through a poker
face that didn’t quite succeed.
You reach your quarters and in

letters. You curl up in a corner
and from then on you are oblivious
to ever?’ihing except those few
pages of stationery.
Your pal tells you about things

MOOSE JAW HOSTEL

Moose Jaw Hostel is now in full

more are expected to arrive shortly from Slocan Valley.
This hostel, the former RCAF
Service Flying Training
School. is located only four miles
from the city of Moose Jaw. The
Japanese staying in this hostel are
free to visit the city any day or
night- they wish. Transportation
is available at all hours, but since
it is only four miles to the city,
many Japanese walk into town

The city of Moose Jaw is a v e ry
nice town with very friendlypeople. Since the opening of this
hostel the Japanese staying
have gotten along very well with
the people of this city.
The evacuees housed in this
centre relocated from many parts
of the country. Many came from
the east, and many from the west
such as Tashme, New Denver and
Rosebery.
The housing conditions are good
in this hostel. One lady from
Tashme said she thought Moose

Raps Forced Removal
From Pacific Coast
VANCOUVER. B,C —The forced
evacuation of Japanese persons
from the North American coast
was a serious blow to basic prin­
ciples of property and civil rights.
Lawrence I. Hewes, Jr., of Los
Angeles, told the University of
British Columbia inter-cultural re­
lations class at the Normal School
on July 19. according to the Van­
couver Sun.
He contended that “no racial
group in the United States ever
demonstrated such complete
loyalty as the Japanese.”
Mr. Hewes cited the battle
record of the famed 442nd Infantry
and the 100th Battalion, all-Nisei
units which fought in Italy and
other war theatres, and were
among the most highly decorated
in World War II.
“We cannot have a sound social
and economic order,” he added,
“if men of ability do not have a
chance to express these abilities.
Stupid race prejudice, which pre­
vents minority groups from taking
specific jobs, is a case of throwing
talent out ,of the window.”
