What small town or city .in '
Canada has not been' served, at.
some time .in its history, .by a
, ..Chinese restaurant or a Chinese »:
lagndry? Our communities • : have)"
beenbuilt by the contributions of
many- cultures and it occurs to me
- that too often the contributions
of the ;Chinese have been over -
In - earlier- times the Chinese
provided the backbone of . labour
• for railroad building. . They were
the (cooks in mines and 'lumber
camps. Gradually they developed
small businessesand provided
services to communities. which .few
others were prepared. or. able to
offer. They : 'still do that today
and: • scores . of small communities
would have no public eating' places.
if it were not for Canadians of
Chinese ;extraction. ' Also ' they
provide a cultural addition to our
cities with their glamorous and
interesting: modern • "Chinatowns".'
These ..contributions - I • have
mentioned are some of the more '.
noticeable ones. Chinese Cana-.
dians today are active as well in
most other areas of 'modern society
in the arts, the professions, in
business, even in politics. For
example Mr.` Peter Wing 'recently
became the first Chinese Canadian
to be elected mayor of a Canadian •
tennial is not only an occasion of
city, at Kamloops, B.
I can agree heartily : with the'
.Vernon News• which; , commented
in one of its editorials: "Chinese
Canadians should • be saluted . on
their desire to play a 'part in cele-
brating the :100th 'anniversaries of
B.C. and Canada. . In -this way
theirpart in thebuilding of a
nation,__ which we tend'. to over-
look, : can :receive the recognition--
it
ecognition`it deserves." .
The first Chinese arrived 'at
Vernon. 60 to .70 years ago and the-
community reached 700... people
around the time of the First World
War. The News states that they
•
went to .Vernon in force with : the
building of the railroad and earlier
some took part in the Cherryville
gold•'rush. . ."They stayed to pro-
vide the labour needed to operate
canneries and the 'agricultural in-
dustry. It was . menial labour be
cause • they, lacked the 'education
and : knowledge of the language
to get better. jobs. ;
"But the - Chinese established -
themselves as hard Workers and
good citizens. Many became Tiros- -
perous : businessmen and • played • a -
significant role in the community's
development." I might add that, ,
whenever the -Chinese were allowed
to bring up • families in Canada,
they •strove to give their 'children
higher education. -

The people of Vernon, B.C., are
quite' aware of the eontributidn the
Chinese have made in the develop-
ment of their community. What :
has made them 'more aware re-
cently is an offer by the Chinese
community of Vernon tobuild a ••
tea' house as a - Centennial project
in ' the city park. Walter Joe,
`spokesman .for the • Chinese com-
munity's Freemasons• and Dart
Coon Club, told the city council •
that some of the oldtimers wanted
to build the tea house as a re-
minder of the new and old cul-
celebrations:...It is a time when we
are reminded that Canadians of
all backgrounds have developed this -
country and thav. we cannot afford
to think that any . group of us can
be self-sufficient in' isolation. I,
believe that the Centennial. projects
- the. big ones being conducted
on a 'national scale and the small.
ones like the Vernon tea house ---
will remind us that Canadians
originated from societies and cul -
pares all over the world and will
increase our understanding• of each•.
.other's ' way of - life and point of '
tures. view.
