P.3000 Sydney (Nouveiie-Ecosse) I'm concerned, I'm going to make recommen? dation to my superior that you all be re? leased. If it was up to me," he said, "I'd send you back tomorrow." And the investigation stopped. (But) I was held there, before they re? leased me, another 13 months. I was re? leased on March the 8th in 1942. And that's when my wife--3 months before I was released, the cash was gone, the shop wasn't paying anything that I left behind. She had to apply for assistance. And the Red Cross called her up one day, said, "Mrs. Nardocchio,' I understand that you need some assistance." She said, "Yes, I do." Said, "How many children do you have?" "I have 8 children." So, "We'll send you a quart of milk a day." With 8 children. So. she accepted. Then she went to the Catholic Charities. And the Catholic Charities gave her $3 a week in groceries. And she had to go get the groceries at a grocery store on Char? lotte Street. Three dollars a week. (She got nothing the 19 months before that?) Nothing before that, no. And she lived on whatever she could get at the shop.... But where I left the stock in the shop, what? ever they did, they used up all the stock. I had a lot of shoes. Ten thousand dollars in stock all went. You couldn't get too much out of it. And the government took over, and that's what happened. They gave me a job in (Petawawa in) the shoemaker's shop there, too. Not much--just pasttime. I used to get 200 a day--200 a day for my pay, and 100 on Saturday--half a day. And then I was interpreter--200 a day. No matter what you did, it was 200 a day. Our 10th Year of Serving All of Cape Breton!
