^Stexeston-b-0 tri
business nan from .Toronto, to The New Canadian in 'Kasjp this ~week. ~ KIRST B.C. VISIT .
IN 21 YEARS
He is visiting' his mother here, visiting British Columbia for the first time since leaving the Pacific Coast over twenty-one years ago,
Recounting- how he crossed ^ the continent two decades ago when still only in his teens; Miv Oda laughingly recalled that it was just the "urge to wander and ,see the country" that took him away from home,
After a series of ups and downs he finally -settled in Toronto, where he i? engaged in the merchandising business. He is married and is the father of four children.
Recalling the Steveston of his boyhood, Mr, Oda thought that housing conditions in Kaslo were much \vorsr on; the average than - Steveston had.
c Evacuees who gd east must be pre-;
to. m^et difficulties and ' even to be. buffeted aroimd -at timesr he saidi Housing is on^ of the chief problems, vand it is understandable why many, congregate in downtown a'reas iix; the cities like^Tpronto, . �-JEWS HA VK HARDER TIME THAN JAPANESE
Still, he 'continued, Jewish peopU have met fVr more intense feeling thiw the people of Japanese descent in Jv eastern provinces. But this has not
prevented them from many successes.
' Hard work and original ideas have
also established another, group, of
"evacuees."' These are the refugees
from centtal European countries,
who "evacuated not just from their
homes but from their continent," he
. toJd ihe The New Canadian.- -
Mr. Oda felt that on the whole tin cities and towns of western Onti\iio wer'e tolerant and kindly than llui't east of Toronto. He h U s.rccial praise for Guelph, where, he said, despite the conservative .atmosphere, peoplv were very kindly. :
