Fingal Hostellers
By a Correspondent
FINGAL, Ont—The 230 Japanese evacuees at Fingal relocatioh hostel in southern Ontario
are hoping that the new year will
bring a quick solution to their
resettlement problems.
.To date, some 250 persons have
been brought here—170 from
Neys Hostel, which was recently
closed, and SO from Slocan and
New Denver. Only a small proportion of this number has moved
out.
The chief drawback to speedy
placements is the fact that most
of the families at the hostel have
many children and are less suited
for resettlement than those who
came east earlier. Out of the 230
persons at the hostel, 123 or well
over a half are children under 16.
In addition, there are many old
and infirm persons.
