®700 Britons A Day Respond To Canadian Settler Drive THE DAILY TIMES- GAZETTE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whisky Geiotte and Chronicle. Assisted P: Passage And Escape From Austerity Is Lure London-- (CP) --British residents are responding to Canada's all-out drive for new 700 applicants a day. The current rush has ! een spurred ® by the Canadian Government's of- __ fer of assisted sea and air passage. But most would-be emigrants say hey are seeking escape from the continued burdens of austerity, re- strictions on housing and lack of opportunity. Officials of the Canadian immi- gration department in London said they were being swamped with ap- plications from all parts of the United Kingdom. And they expect an increased flow of inquiries with the introduction of the assisted sea- passage scheme this month. Many Seek Asylum Here Many of the prospective settlers persons who sought refuge in ritain during and immediately after the war. After being driven from their homes and deprived of their possessions by the Cerman invasion, they are anxious for an opportunity of re-establishing them- selves. Thzir attitude is that if there is another war they would rather be in Canada than Europe. Of the large groups inierviewed by Canadian immigration officers, most of them mentioned the hope of finding better jobs and the diffi- culties of housing as their reason pr wanting to leave. "I've been looking for a home for more than two years," said Frank Harding, London-born carpenter, who plans to settle in Ontario. "I am willing to build a house with my own bare hands if they'll only let me. After all it's my trade and I can do it. In Canada, at least, I shan't need a permit to the obvious." Controls Drive Him Out Kenneth Hammond, a Birming- ham businessman, said he was going to Canada "because I can't see much future for my trade here." There were too many controls. "But I am willing to try my hand at anything else, if necessary," Ham- mond added. "I'l go anywhere there is a good job at fair wages. I shall make my home where I make my living." Farm-worker Jack Osborne of Bristol, said he was migrating to Ontario to make a career of farm- ing. His wife and 15-months-old daughter are going with him. "To be anything more than a farm laborer in this country it seems 'hat one has to go to the right hools," said Osborne. "I have a ob lined up on a farm at Gormley, near Toronto, and I have every hope of becoming a farm foreman. To do that in England I would probably need a degree in agriculture."
