to us to be content with that.

But it would be an irreparably
grave mistake on our part simply to
accept the Prime Minister’s statement
and consider the question settled. It
is. and we must not forget it, only a
temporary settlement in tune with
the times, a stop-gap solution to the
fundamental issue — the-question of
our citizenship here in Canada.
Our presence may be tolerated
and our loyalty accepted. But these
are not enough. We can never for­
get that we have before us the task
of winning complete acceptance as
full, free and equal citizens of
Canada — neither exempt from
duties nor excluded from privileges.
That indeed is the essence of our
problem here; it always has been
and always will be until the only
right and just solution is found.
When each of us can stand up be­
fore our fellows, and declare with
passionate pride and conviction, “I
am a Canadian, free, equal, honour­
able—blessed with its privileges, and
blessed by its duties!.” then and only
then shall we be fully content.
On that day, this newspaper will
have no further need of existence.

Special Registration
Perhaps the first reaction of Jap­
anese Canadians to the announcement
by Prime Minister Mackenzie King
of a special registration of all Japan­
ese residents in Canada will be one
of irritation and resentment. On the
surface it would appear to a “dis­
crimination - conscious” community
that we are being singled out as a
racial group for such registration;
and that the plan is a wholly un­
necessary duplication of the recent
National Registration just six months
ago.
Sober- reflection upon Mr. King's
announcement, however, will disclose
that the benefits to be gained from
such registration will more than
compensate for the expenditure of
time, energy and expense it will undouotedly require.
The mere fact of the registration
itself should go far toward soothing
admittedly jittery nerves here on the
Pacific Coast. Properly carried out it
will help materially in disclosing a

VW HEN the shekels from the forth’’ coming Nisei Talent Revue have
been collected and counted, the first
step will have been taken in the ful­
fillment of a long-felt want in the
community.
No one genuinely interested in the
welfare of the Japanese community
will have noted with graver concern
our high rate of tuberculosis. Despite
all the good work of the Welfare Fed­
eration. and the clinic, of doctors,
nurses and public health agencies,
the “white plague” still takes an un­
duly high toll of victims amongst us.
One of the contributing factors
to this deplorable situation is the
lack of adequate, modern hospital
facilities in the community. And
that very lack is the most disturb­
ing challenge facing us in our pub­
lic health today.
The Nisei Talent Revue is an in­
direct answer to that challenge, for
the proceeds therefrom will be turned
into a fund to establish a convales­
cent home. In this home patients dis­
charged from the hospital proper will
have the opportunity to regain their
strength and health, before going out
into
this
dog-eat-dog
competitive
world of ours.
In too many cases up to the pres­
ent time, patients have been dis­
charged from the hospital, St. Joseph’s
in particular, only to bounce right
back in again after suffering a re­
lapse.
The proposed
convalescent
home is to be the community's
answer to this disturbing problem.
From all reports the program ar­
ranged by the hard-working com­
mittee promises to surpass in art­
istry and interest every previous
concert yet presented.
Young and aspiring amateurs have
responded nobly to the call, and will
make their appearance on the stage
determined to hold the audience spell­
bound. Accomplished artists, with
well-established
reputations
have
been equally enthusiastic in offering
their support.
Now it's up to John Q. Public to
do his part. Everybody’s counting on
you. John!

1 T^e resolution was. “Resb t -at Wo Japanese family should
o'piu ib’r the Nihonmachi and
seek a domicile among the white fam­
ilies. The first speaker for the affirm­
ative, Minoru Yatabe, irritated my
feelings when he referred to the Jap­
anese community as a “slum.”
I consider this an exasperating in­
sult to the community coming from a
Nisei on the platform representing the
more intelligent class of Niseis, the
University students. Apparently this
speaker does not realize or know the
meaning of the word, “slum.” In Web­
ster’s T. C. Dictionary it states: “Slum,
a street or alley inhabited by the poor
or by vicious and criminal classes.” I
can correctly state that these condi­
tions do not exist in the Japanese
community.
I would like to point out to the
speaker that the present standard of
living has greatly improved compared
to the community of years ago, for
which credit is due to the ever-pro­
gressing ideals and customs of the
Nisei in every family. We are gradu­
ally breaking the backward ideals and
customs of the Isseis and bringing into
life, a broader and more fitting stand­
ard of occidental ideals and customs.
To all Niseis who are forever striving
to achieve a better standard, it is very
outrageous for a Nisei student to in­
form Nisei audiences that the Japan­
ese community is a “slum.”

Ertcdess Issue!
Editor, The New Canadian—Dear
Sir: Just a few lines to draw your at­
tention to several errors that I’ve no­
ticed in nearly every issue of The
New Canadian.
I am not writing this letter so that
it will be published in the “Letters to
the Editor Column” but foi' the sole
reason that I know you would like
to eliminate every error that you pos­
sibly can.
The errors I am mentioning are as
follows: In the issue of December 13,
I noticed that seven or eight lines
from the “Bloedel Banner” strayed
over to the “Surrey Sunshine” col­
umn. Also in another issue there was
a line in the “Weekly Whirligig” that
was inserted upside down.
Here's to an errorless issue.

& Editor’s Note: We have taken
the liberty of publishing this letter
as a mark of our appreciation for the
keen interest taken by the writer, and
also because it raises a point we have
long wished to explain to our readers.
Most of the mistakes in The New
Canadian arise because the editorial
staff handles the work of newspaper
make-up andTcomp“dsihg of type. We
do this in order to cut down expenses
of publication, and not being profes­
sional printers, rarely succeed in
turning out a perfect job. For our
mistakes, then, we beg the indulgence
of our readers, but resolve in this New
Year to guard against mistakes to the
best of our ability.

Outstanding Nisei
Editor, The New Canadian—Dear
Sir: While not wishing to detract
from the fine contribution made to
the “Nisei Cause” by the two gentle­
men named in your special issue of

"Going home" is not exactly what it is "cracked up” to be. It is,
all the sentimental trappings are torn aw’ay. but a sudin reality
den. painful process whereby one realizes how swiftly and completely
life falls in the gap left in a small community by an individual who has.
at one time, harbored the illusion that he was an integral and a necessary
part of what he lovingly terms "the home town.
Why an individual, at some time or another, and more especially
during some festive occasion like Yuletide, yearns to go back to the
hinterlands from whence he migrated, is somewhat of a mystery'. Perhaps
it is the ego in him that turns his footsteps toward a pilgrimage home—
back tea rhe halcyon days, safe within the four walls that constitute
“honue," where Tommy. Dickie, or Harry is seen through prejudiced but
loving eyes as the last hope of the family, a bit of "all right." grown a
Little older, and a little taller, and infinitely wiser, maybe.
TEE SAME LOVING WAYS
A nd so he goes home. And he finds the folks just the same as when
he Ml. full of the same gossip, the same stories, and the same loving ways.
Perhaps Dad is a little grayer, a little slower in his gait, but he still enjoys
a good tale and a glass of beer. And Ma is brisk as ever, although perhaps
her eyesight isn't exactly what it used to be. Kid sister now has a beau

changed much, and Ma's pies are better than ever.
But one cannot exist on pies alone, no matter how well Ma
b-akes them. Soon the pilgrim home begins his jaunt around the old

familiar sights, and then the trouble begins.
The old church building is still there. He pauses a moment to watch
the youngsters doing the self-same things he did: and for an instant his
mind reverts back to the time when another group of youngsters, himself
at the helm, saw their way to a long-awaited moment when they were
crowracd with laurel while the sweet sound of applause drummed in thei r
ears. He had thought, egoist that he is. that he would always be a vital
part of that building's history, that building's welfare. He realizes with
. a pang that its days go on pretty much in an ordered pattern without
his assistance- in fact it is doing very nicely without his assistance.
The old orchard still exists. He remembers those furtive trips over
the forbidden avail while his confreres stood on guard to give him the
distress signal if old Jackson appeared on the scene. The trees still exist,
but lopped of their generous branches, clipped to a regular pattern, en closed by a board fence and the sign, "Trespassers will be prosecuted.’’
The old playing field is now a garage site; the old ramshackle barn is
no more.

A COUPLE SILLY KIDS
tie seeks human company' to dispel the loneliness which threatens

to descend upon him. And he finds that the girl whom he used to know,
the girl with the long pig-tails, and the gold band across her front teeth,
the girl for whom he bought strawberry sundaes, is now either a happy,
plumpish matron pushing a perambulator, or a sophisticated miss who
rernirds you of those tender days with "Weren’t we a couple of silly
kids."
<1

s

And the old group has changed. Year by' year, one by one. the old
gang .dwindles, and like an intruder in its midst, some young kid, sud­
denly grown to manhood, will hold out his hand with a grin, to greet
him with "Remember me? I'm so and so’s kid brother. You used to teach
me Sunday School!"

And the disillusioning process is complete. Suddenly, all the attempts
to re-enter the past become futile. He is not old, but he feels curiously,
strangely, "old." and definitely' out of place.
Aad the hum and the noise, the bustle and the struggle of the
city' become infinitely dear to him. and it comes rather as a surprise,
this: realization that “Home" is where one hangs his hat, rolls up his
shirtsleeves and takes the present on the chin.
Yes. the "joy" of going home is not what it’s "cracked up" to be.

As I sit here trying to write this
column. Enesco’s Rumanian Rhapsody is playing beside me. Its colour
ears,
rhythm beat in
my
and
heart,
and find an echo in my
toes twitch to swing in gypsy
abandon: I seem to see in my mind's
eye the flying skirts and leaping
dancers, coquettish glances, passionate
hearts of the peasant revellers of a
forgotten age.
Here I make my first resolution
for the New Year, one that I hope to
keep even if I break all the others.

/ resolve not to forget that in
spite of the hurly-burly of rushing
around daily, the war and its ter­
rors, politicians and their peccadil­
los, there is beauty in this old
world, beauty everywhere if one
but takes the trouble to see it.

If I see only the horrors of war in
its present devastation can 1 look for­
ward to the future vision of a world
rebuilt again to beauty? There is al­
ways tomorrow. If I am angry only
at those who would hurt us, if I
brood on our humiliations to the ex­
clusion of other thoughts, can I see
the smiles of our warm friends, the
beautiful shape of blossoming men
and women among the Niseis? If I
feel only the monotonous routine of
our day-to-day existence, can I feel
the beauty and lift of vibrant nature
around me? If I hear only the mean­
ingless noises that beat on the ear,
can I hear beauty in such music as
I am listening to now?
It is so easy to become discour­
aged and morose . . . too easy to
wish for things beyond our means,
and to feel cheated when we cannot
attain day-dream fulfilments. I think
of all the things I wanted and could
not get; I think of all the thousandand-one dreams that somehow went
astray. If I were to dwell on such
thoughts too long 1 might miss the
one dream that would come true
beautifully among others that will
not.

What's done is done. It may have
been a mistake to make the mind
wince at remembrance; it may have
been a clumsy blunder, a misplaced
trust. Whatever it was, it is past.
There isn’t much sense in mooning
over mistakes, if one doesn’t learn to
avoid them the next time. If one can­
not wholly forget the past, at any
rate let us not blind ourselves to the
life ahead — as full and satisfying as
we make it.
Let me see beauty in the sounds
and scenes and life that flows along,
