    none: Susan "Suzie" Fawcett, interviewed for the Women's Labour History Project oral histories, worked at this third iteration of the Hotel Vancouver from 1939 as a meat carver, counter girl, and 1st counter girl, likely working in the mezzanine cafeteria. Suzie said in her oral history re working during WWII: "the manager always put a sign up that please English only to be spoken in. Because we did have a lot of other nationalities... but he preferred everyone speak English just in case there was anybody thinking it might be spies or something." [OBJ-627_sideA] [https://omeka.crossingfonds.com/s/crossing-fonds/item/366]; [a man] couldn't join the army, he was put into the farms. They took away everybody except Swiss." To this point: The HV chef, Antonio Scarabelli, had before the war identified as German; after as Swiss. This common device of misdirection was used by Italians and Germans (especially those who may have Swiss ancestry) was likely sparked when his brother, Carlo, head chef at the Chateau Laurier Hotel Chef, was interned as an enemy alien for 2 months in 1940. Carlo was subsequently released to become a "Travelling Inspector for the C.N.R. hotels". Also: Members of the prominant Culos family believe the HV had an RCMP officer working undercover as a waiter in Aprll 1940 when the Circolo Giulio Giordani and Circolo Roma held a banquet there for the purpose of collecting member names that were thought to have (and in some cases admitted to having) fascist sympathies. (3) At least 3 people working in the HV were interned: Owner of the hotel barbershop, one waiter, one of the cooks. [source of 3 & 4: Injustice Served, Raymond Culos, 2012.]
