Bell Canada THE fitIRoi41 EXPOSITOR,: -NOVEMBER 11 147 ss An injustice of war Odds n, Ends by E1Qlne Townshend two passing ladies, "I'll bet you think I'm Chinese!” The family lived in a small house on Grand'pa's landtand five of the six children enrolled in the local school. Meanwhile, their father helped on, the farm.' After trying in vain to pronounce his Japanese name, Grandpa nicknamed him "Dick" - a name that stuck with him through the years. Dad recalls the firSt threshing that Dick helped with. The other workers assigned him to the hole in the mow and practically buried him. He didn't say a word; he just kept piling the sheaves, until he gradually rose abOve them. Of course, when the men had to throw the sheaves up to him, they didn't work as rapidly. Dick grinned and in broken English urged, "More sheafies, boys." From that' day on, he was accepted by his fellow workers. Like all Japanese Canadians, Dick and his wife had to rebuild their lives after the war. They had to prove they were loyal, trustworthy Canadians. They had to earn the respect of their countrymen. Arid they did. • They tolerated the discrimination ddring"" and after the war. Through it all, they retained'a sense ,of humour and of honour. They worked hard to obtain a good education for their children, and their only goal was to better themselves. The quality, for which I admire them the most, was their lack of resentment. They could have raised their family in bitterness against white Canadians, but they didn't. Instead, they rose about the injustice. How many of us would have that kind of courage and strength if suddenly placed in a similar situation? .13ANciqt$, arid' ,F,01)q,.pKN.ERs. A few years ago the CBC presented a documentary on the treatment of Japanese Canadians during World- WWII. Before the war, 85% of the fishing franchises along the B.C. coast were Japanese-owned. When Canada .declared war on Japan in 1941, the government feared sabotage by these coastal Japanese, although most of them had been born and raised in Canada. Drastic steps were taken to ensure the country's safety. All Japanese Canadians were registered and fingerprinted. Their homes and businesses were confiscated , for which many of them never received compensation. They were moved inland to former P.O.W. camps and were constantly guar ded. During the evacuation, -rna'ny families were separated. The fathers and older boys worked in the bush, while the old people,„the women and the children were kept in other sites. They lived in tar paper shacks and were issued P.O.W. clothing with red spots on the backs of the shirts that served as targets. When the war ende,d,.they were turned loose with no money or possessions, with nowhere to g9 and with' few people who liked or trusted them. The CBC program was of particular interest to me because my grandfather brought one such family to his farm. The arrangements were made, I believe, through the Anglican Church. Although they left the area before I was born, I feel as though.! know them because my parents and my grandparents often mention them. Their arrival caused some scorn in the community.
