Transcript below: “Some Opposition To Japs Looms Taber District (From Our Own Correspondent) TABER, Jan. 23 — Rumors that Ottawa proposed to remove all Japanese in B.C. to the interior provinces, presumably prairie areas, has aroused considerable interest here, and stiff opposition, with plans for public protest, has already developed in some quarters, unless Japanese removed thus are placed in isolated camps and provided for by Ottawa so that they do not compete with labor, industry or business, carried on by white races. Irrigation officials and some beet growers say there is a shortage of labor looming, and the removal of Japs here would solve this. Those opposed deny a shortage, and opinion is divided.” Courtesy of the University of Lethbridge Archives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4b49d17106994557c2fc85/1548458537559-4R9HUYP9H5QQB1NUPY6D/image-asset.jpeg Chapter - Relocation to Southern Alberta Shipping crate built of wood by Kohei Nishiyama when he learned there were few trees to use for firewood in southern Alberta, ca 1942-1946 Galt Museum & Archives, P20030040000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4b49d17106994557c2fc85/1548458619239-CLAD8NX568K74HVR8F7I/P19970041469.jpg Chapter - Relocation to Southern Alberta Doll, ca 1940s Galt Museum & Archives, P19970041469. https://www.nikkei-tapestry.ca/chapter/arrival-in-southern-alberta monthly 0.5 2020-02-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4b49d17106994557c2fc85/1548458179207-ET570IXC2QP6VAQN83XG/P19790283009s.jpg Chapter - Arrival in Southern Alberta Japanese Canadian evacuees arriving in Picture Butte, north-west of Lethbridge, Alberta, 1942.
