British Children Happy
In New Canadian Homes
The British children who have been evacuated to Canada are rapidly becoming accustomed to the Canadian way of life and customs. Most of them are in homes where there are other children of about the same age. They are being dressed the same way, eat the same food, go to the same schools, play the same games and talk about the same things as their foster-brothers and sisters.
י
They have learned to play baseball, Canadian children's favourite summer game, and are looking forward to learning how to ski in the winter. Already some of the children who came to Canada carly this summer cannot be distinguished from Canadian, children except when they talk, when their English accent easily gives them away.
The British children at first had some difficulty with the slang expressions of the Canadians, but are now becoming almost as expert in using them as the Canadian children are. They no longer say "those boys," but "those guys." They do not say, "I don't believe you" when they doubt anything. They say "boloney I"
