Canada's Japanese Unit Offices
Will be Shut as of July 31
TORONTO, Ont., Canada, May 28 (New Canadian Dispatch)--The Japanese Division offices of the Department of Labor will be closed on July 31, it was announced this week by Ernest G. Trueman, Japanese Placement Officer.
Trueman said that there is still the matter of clearing up some unfinished business and going through the more than 7,000 files in order that no records which may be of further use will be destroyed.
The special Japanese Division offices which were opened in the spring of 1942 in order to oversee the resettlement of the evacuees in Ontario, was, at its peak, staffed by six clerks.
For some time now, there has been only one other person in the office.
Although the bulk of the work has been completed, there have been quite a number of calls from those seeking the assistance of the placement office. Trueman's most recent work has been that of negotiating for pensions for Japanese with the Ontario government.
