WWII history...
• from page 41
encouraged thousands of Dutch
families to set sail for promising
Commonwealth nations.
Many of the new Canadians were
sponsored by local farmers and
businesses who employed the
immigrants for a year's term. In the
Clinton area, the old Canada Packers
poultry plant was a major sponsor.
Here boys and girls, women and men
worked. The girls made 65 cents and
hour and men made 75 cents. Families
would pool their wages together in an
effort to buy land.
The Greidanus family worked at the
poultry plant and . saw their dream
become a reality., Daughter, Mrs. Gary
Haak of Clinton recalled that after one
year, the 'family of 13 saved enough
money to purchase a farm.
Today, the Dutch -Canadians are well
respected neighbors and friends in the
local communities. Their
determination and hard work is clearly
evident in their successful farms,
businesses and community efforts.
More than 40 years ago the future of
many` Dutch families looked dim.
Today they are proud Canadians who
wholeheartedly support the theory that
Canada offered them opportunity,
growth and freedom.
