He spoke at the annual banquet of the South Essex Growers Co- Percentage Of Unhappy War Brides Is Small By KAY REX Canadian' Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Dec. 14. --(CP) -- The honeymoon is not over for the ma- jority of European war brides who have come to Canada. A Liverpool dispatch has on- nounced the return to England of 50 disgruntled British brides who found themselves unable to cope with Canada's "High Prices" and her housing and clothing shortages. But immigration figures show these brides and the small groups of others who have returned to their home country represent only a. minute portion of the number of those who have seftled here and are liking it. To Nov, 9. 60,250 dependents--40,- 889 wives and 19,361 children-- had arrived in Canada. Senator W. Rupert Davies, pub- lisher of the Kingston Whig-Stand- arn, who has been visiting in Bri- tain, has protested by letter the Liverpool Post's reporting of the return of "disillusioned" brides of Canadian servicemen. He suggested: "....you try to find out something about the thous- ands of English girls who have come out to Canada during the past two years and who have found there happiness and contentment." Canadian immigation officials have blamed newspaper reports for spreading the idea that Canada has failed in her duty to brides from overseas, They suggest the spot- light sigh shomd shine more on the sat- isfied newcomers. A recent survey in Vancouver disclosed that British war brides there, many. of whom have been in Canada for more than four years, are content with their new homes, and are good-naturaily learning the Canadian way of life. As for the brides who have "given up"--Canadian welfare officials ad~ mit the housing shortage has played a "strenuous part" in sending them home. "However, we feel many of the disagreements which have resulted in some broken marriages are the result of normal differences found in the early years of any marriage and perhaps aggravated by the wife finding herself in the midst of liv- ing conditions new to her,..." con- cluded council officials. Canada now has received 29,412 wives from the United Kingdom, and 15,592 children. From Holland have come 1477 wives and 226 children; from Belgium, 529 wives, 79 children; from France 67 wives and five children; from other parts of the world, including Australia and the British West Indies, 60 wives, 16 children, At the moment 6,117 wives and 1,882 children throughout north- west Europe--including those now on board the Samaria--are await- in passage to Canada. Also look- ing forward to the trip are 26 wives and four children in other parts of Europe or the United Kingdom. The Canadian Wives' Bureau ov- erseas is sponsoring one more sail- ing to be made by the Aquitania, Jan, 12, After 'that date service- men's dependents must come to Canada "under their own steam" ° but may do so at the Canadian Government's expense until the end of next June. Then they will have to pay their fare. 2 IN is Yew --, WV Sa | 0%, FAMOUS FOR STEAK AND CHICKEN DINNERS : "THE BROOKLIN HOUSE BROOKLIN ONTARIO (4 Miles North of Whitby) We Have All Facilities for Banquets or Wedding Parties.
