Dear Editor

Your journalist (7)
Hunter’s Column on
Japanese Canadians reminds
me of the old saying: ‘‘When
ignorance is bliss, it’s folly to
be wise.”’

Firstly, in 1942 there was
no such thing as *‘Cana-
dians’’. Canadian Citizen-
ship was not introduced until
the fifties. Whether we like it
or not, we were members of
the British Empire.

Personally, (and this is not
strictly personal), 1 was
brought to the country at the
tender age of two. My father
never sought my opinion of
this move! As a young man, |
put in some years in the
Seaforth Highlanders. In
1940 1 joined the R.C.A.F.
and served five and a half
years. In the fifties, on apply-
ing to join the Govt. service,
1 was informed that first it
would be necessary to
become a Canadian citizen!

In taking issue on this
Japanese problem, | resent
people who were not around

at the time, and knew
nothing of circumstances
after Pearl Harbor; the

Japanese occupation of the

NV gave

Dear Editor:

Aleutians, and = occasional
shelling of the coast; plus the
fact that Canada, along with
others, was stretched to the
breaking point against the
Nazis, shedding their
crocodile tears.

The lot of the Japanese in
Canada was sheer paradise in
comparison to any member
of the British Empire caught
in Hong Kong, Malaya,
Singapore, or the Americans
or Dutch in the Philipines or
Indonesia. They not only lost
all their property, if they sur-
vived at all, it was something
of a miracle, and no thanks
to the Japanese.

If Mr. Hunter really wants
to further his education, let
him go and talk to the Cana-
dian Legion President in
North Van. If he has any
capacity for learning, which |
doubt, he just might learn
something.

In closing, may I say that
many persons in this day and
age seem to bleed from the
mouth. It’s a terrible disease.
1 wonder why they should be
paid for it?

to take this opportunity to
congratulate all those citizens
who took part in the
numerous activities related to

sand persons on the North

knowledge, no previous
North Shore activity has in-
volved so many people. In
North Vancouver, approx-
imately nineteen thousand
citizens got involved. We en-
courage all citizens to con-
tinue to add fifteen minutes
of exercise to their daily
routine.

ed on the 1984 Great Cana-
