Canadians Want To Forgei ii Ever Happened

(By Joe Mocsween, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

VANCOUVER. (CP) - Eleven Canadian prisoners-of-war who .vant to forget "it ever happened" arrived here Saturday from Tokyo.

Typical of the group's reaction in their first glimpse of Canada in many months was the remark if Pia. Bernard Jewer of New Waterford, N. S.

outwardly laconic as he stroll- Pd away from the plane, Jewer was quick with a smiling reply when a bystander yelled "you don't look very happy."

"Maybe I don't look it, but I sure feel it," said the little Cape anion soldier, who lost 30 pounds while a prisoner of the Reds.

Reluctant To Talk

A number of the men were re-

luctant to talk about their ex- 1lel'i9liCBS as prisoners. The arrival was by far the

lamest of returning Canadian 3nlV's so far. and was headed by End. Lieut. C. G. Owen of North Vancouver, whose allm, blonde rife waited at the aircraft ramp with their two small children. The lieutenant, who had been isied as missing until a week ago -mileti as he left the plane and ;.-.ihoi-rd his family into his arms.

For 40 hours a week. the bread- wlnner can remain safely at his job, but when he is home he has no right and no reason to sit in the easy chair while his wife wears herself out with the house- hold chore. said the conferees.

The 1,300 delegates are return- ing home to 46 countries from Edinburgh, where they discussed two main themes: How to free the housewife from the constant drudgery of homo.-making and how to raise the status of hnusewlfery as a profession.

The only answer to the first question at the present time Is to enlist husbands and children as helpers, the conference decided.

The second question was an- swered with a resolutlonxappeah mg to "all who have influence on public opinion" in show N131
