350 Irish Immigrants Happy To Beach Canada

By Kingsley Brown Jr. ioanadian Press Staff Writer) HALIFAX. (OP) - An Irish im-

migrant asked Saturday if Cana- dians are a saving people, then re- phrased his question: ”I mean. do they make enough money to put some in the bank?"

David Corbett was typical among the 350 young. happy Irish immi- rrants 'who arrived here aboard the Cunard liner Georgia from Northern Ireland, largest single group to leave the country in 25 years

He wanted to know if all he was told about Canada was true. I-Iis reasons for coming were the same as those who left Northern Ire- land in the lean years of the late 20's: Unemployment, low wages and high living costs.

Couldn't Save Anything

"Moot of us made enough to live but we couldn't save anything, not a quid." said 35-year-old Corbett. who earned about 5:7 weekly as a Belfast furniture store saimmari and paid 25 for lodging and food.

"Could I make enough money to support myself and my wife when she comes to Canada? She now makes :4 a week as a tailor but I've heard she could make 1215 over here.” He hopes to find a job in To

"It wasn't enough for the work,” said Joe, who will be placed on a farm when he reaches Calgary. Many of the farmers were en- couraged to come to Canada by ad- vertisements and films shown by touring members of the Canadian office in Belfast.

Skilled Workers

A large proportion of skilled and semi-skilled workers of all kinds were among the group, whose average age was about 30. Unlike the farmers and domestics, they have no assurance of jobs but are hopeful of finding them. Most are bound for Toronto.

Curly-haired Bill White, 27, who worked as an sero fitter at the Royal Navy yard in Belfast for t7 lls weekly, hopes to land a Job at an aircraft factory in Ontario.

White, who ”couldn't save any- thing" after providing for his wife and infant daughter, said about six workers leave the Belfast plant every month for Canada.

He said 50,000 persons were un- employed in Northern Ireland.

Partition of industrial Northern Ireland and agricultural Eire ap- parently exerts equal economic strain. Francis Geogheghan, 20, a farmer from County Roscommon in Eire, said conditions were sim- ilar in the south, with low wages. long hours and unemployment, He was one of 50 immigrants from Eire.

Later they assisted the Police in recover- ing the bodies.

Several other fishermen who came on the pond later in the day, were unable to throw any light on the accident. which apparently had happened quite early. Coroner Dr. L. E. Prowse said that the bodies appeared to have been in the wa- ter 7 or 8 hours. The waterproof watches of both victims were still going when taken from the water.

Mr. Andrews, who had conduct- ed a meat and grocery business on Elm Avenue for several years, was born at North Milton, the son of Mr. Ashford Andrews and the late Mrs. Andrews. He is survived by his wife, the former Lillian Card, and three young children. Errol, age 10. Doreen. 9. and Wayne, 6. Tim brothers.
