What small town or city in
Canada has not been served at
some time in its history, by a
Chinese restaurant or a Chinese
laundry? Our communities have
been built by the contributions
of many cultures and it occurs to
me that too often the contribtu-
ions of the. Chinese have been
overlooked.
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 business and 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
Dlaces if it, were not for Canad-
ians of Chinese extraction. Also
they provide a cultural addition
to our cities with their glamorous
and interesting modern "China-
towns".
These contributions I have
mentioned are some of the more
noticeable ones. Chinese Can-
adians to-day are active, as well in
most other areas of modern socie-
ty — in the arts, the professions,
in business, even in politics. For
example Mr. Peter Wing recently
became the first Chinese Canadian
to he elected mayor of a Canadian
city, at Kamloops, B. C.
The people of Vernon, B. C., are
quite aware of the contribution
the Chinese have made in the de-
velopment of their community.
What has made them more aware
recently is an offer by the Chinese
community of Vernon to build a
tea lions- as a Centennial project
in the Pity park. Walter Joe.

munity's Freemasons and Dart

to build a tea house as a reminder
of the new and old cultures.
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 13. C. and Canada. In this way
their part in the building of a
nation, which we tend to over-
look. can receive the recognition
i.t:. 'loser yes.''
The first Chinese arrived at
Vernon 60 to '70 years ago and the
community reached 700 peop!e
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 earl-
ier sonic took part in the Cherry-
vine gold rush. "They stayed to
provide the labour needed to oper-
ate canneries and the agricultural
industry.. It was menial labour
because 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 pros-
perous businessmen and played a
significant role in the commun-
ity's development." I might add
that, whenever the Chinese were
allowed, to bring up families in
Canada, they strove to give their
children a higher education.
It is easy to see that the Cen-
tennial is not only an occasion
of celebrations. It is a time when
ere are reminded that Canadians
of all backgrounds have developed
this country and, that we cannot
afford to think that any one group
of us can be self-sufricieet in
isolation, I believe that the Cen-
tennial projects — the big ones
being conducted on a national
scene and the small one's like the
Vernon tea Bones — will' remind.
