SUDETENS HAPPY
REFUGEES IN CANADA LETHBRIDGE, Alta, Feb. 10. Several hundred families of Sudeten Germans are living quietly north-west of Edmonton while their old homeland is involved in the European war. The Sudetens have migrated to Canada within the last six months under a refugee settlement programme drawn up after the German annexation of Czechoslovakia. Although they speak only German, the refugees say they are happy to be in Canada. Establishment of the Sudeten families on land ip western Canada was supervised and each family was given £3OO. The refugees rapidly adapted themselves and gardens will supply them with vegetables for the winter.
