WCTORM and TRUST COMPANY SINCE 1889 Someday; Nizar: hopes he may one day see his own house and garden again . . . but Canada will be their home from now on. Both Nizar and Yasmin, speaking in their soft. cultured. almost-singing voices, asked me to say through this column, “Our family is excep- tionally grateful to the government and the people of Canada for the humane manner in which we have been treated . . . it is deeply moving. We would also like to thank Mr. Bob Smith and Val- erie McKittrick and Dr. MacAteer and all the new friends who have helped in our welfare.” One parting question, of course, was about their reaction to our shops and housing accommo- dation. “You have a tremendous varietyl' in your shops," Nizar told me, “but. basically the prices of food and cost of housing is the same in British pound sterling in Uganda or here.” Later Nizar found out that “Bob” Smith is the Minister of the Richmond Hill United Church, and that he was assisted in his aid to the new arrivals in Canada by Mrs. Valerie McKittrick. The Jinkas are Vthe only Ugandian family in Richmond Hill. But they will not lose touch with their friends, who have been scattered across Canada. Safety deposit Manpower then sent Nizar to Toronto for an exploratory tour. employer and believes his application for sales work is being considered “very seriously”. (In- cidentally both Nizar and Yasmin speak flawless Eventually he met a potential l English . . . they were taught it in their schools , in their native land.) On their arrival at Dorval (Montreal Air- port), the little family of five -â€" who had to flee with what they could carry in their hands, leaving behind their own home and life savings â€" en- trained immediately for Chatham, Ontario. Can- adian Manpower, had arranged good accommoda- tion there for them for 10 days . . . because there were firms in that area in Nizar’s line of exper- ience. However, this proved a mistake. The Chatham offices were only branches. The recruit- ing for work was done at the head offices in Toronto. Since the British Asians left the country, commerce has more or less come to a stop . . . so the news now goes. Until they left Uganda, the only official news the group had was that conveyed in the TV announcements. “There was no publicity in the local press . . . the grapevine passed the news by word of mouth.” When the time arrived to move out . . . the group of 160 Ugandians were taken from Kam- pala to Entebbe Airport, 20 miles away by bus. “I asked several times, ‘Have We crossed the bor- der yet’, for I was apprehensive of my family's safety.” At last they were airborne and on their way to Canada. there was no work to do. But gradually we kept closer and closer to our homes for there was much harassment and rough treatment from the privates (soldiers) . . . and the Officers of the army did nothing to stop their actions.” (Continued from Page 2) neighbors lived in fear and dread until they crossed the border out of the country some weeks later. “At first we went to our office â€" though there was no work to do.

Mr. and Mrs. McBride and family were sent by the As the Asians became wealthy because of their‘ trading and manual skills,‘ they were able to send their children abroad for educa-; tion and professional train- ing. Many of these educat- ed Asians. doctors. lawyers, etc‘, returned to Uganda and occupied important posi- tions in the professional and business fields.

Following completion of the railway the Asians were allowed to remain and soon traders from India arrived to supply goods and mate- rials for homes. To transport goods inland it was necessary to con- struct a railway and experi- enced workers from India were brought to Uganda to assist in the construction. Uganda was isolated from the rest of the world until about 1840 when Arab trad- ers moved in. Mrs. McBride explained. Then, during the 1950's European explorers arrived and Britain devel- oped an interest in the country, making it a protec- torate of England in 1894.
