Concrete Steps Needed
Japanese Canadians in British Co
lumbia have indicated their loyalty
to Canada in. various ways, both by
earnest pledge and by actual deed.
A cursory survey, for instance, indi
cates that a sum totalling some
34000 has been sent to Ottawa by
various groups and individuals —
direct, voluntary expressions of
loyalty on the part of citizens, grate
ful for the blessings which Canada
has given them.
Nevertheless, after a year and a
half of war, whatever the opinion
of the government, and despite our
efforts, there, is a very large body of
Canadian public opinion, which has
seen and heard nothing which might
dispel a strongly - entrenched sus
picion against cs. In point of fact,
it is altogether more likely that their
doubts and suspicions have been
roused to a higher pitch than ever
before by the idle malicious chatter
of a few public officials and the
irresponsible writings of a few
’"yellow” journalists.
More concrete steps today, then,
are a vital need on our part, if we
are to make any progress toward dis
pelling this suspicion. One of the
first of these, assuredly, is the co
ordination .of our efforts to assist in
the war effort by the contribution
of money. Isolated, spasmodic dona
tions, however sincere, can never be
as effective as a co-operative effort,
supported wholeheartedly by a unit
ed community. And though it may
be charged that such a conscious
attempt to influence Canadian public
opinion is merely propaganda, we
know it to be propaganda in a right,
and just, and necessary cause,
For even more significant steps, it
is not too much to look back at the
example of the last war, when a num
ber of first generation Japanese immigrants proved themselves willing to
pay the supreme price in the service of
their adopted country. TZheir story
is familiar to all of us. And certainly
am effort along these lines should not
lie beyond^ the earnest consideration
of every Nisei, and every Nisei group,
whose interests in the welfare of this
community and this country are
genuinely sincere.

perfection would come to a halt,
Would it not? Everything, from an
Orion to the electron, is constantly
on the move, seeking something. God
knows what- Starved is the soul of
one who has not known the pulse
of love. Lin Yutang’s philosophy of
love is “Woman is water and man is
clay, and the clay holds the water,
and gives it 'substance of love, in
which water moves and lives and
has its full being.”
Then, what is this force called
love? How does it come about? So
crates himself couldn't answer that.
Perhaps when I reach a venerable
age. I may find the answer. Who
knows? But one thing I know to be
true as far as my heart and soul are
concerned! that is, our mind and
body may be inferior to heaven, but
true love s infinity is superior to
heaven!
ETIQUETTE: That personal touch!
Did you know that despite the popularity of ready-made cards
the market, it is considered atrocious taste by those who do the cor
thing, to express one’s thanks or one’s sympathies by sending a prii
card? One should write a note of thanks, a note of sympathy. It’s t
personal, thoughtful touch that counts, you know.

Most people think that love comes
all complete from heaven. I don’t!
They think that all they have to do,
if they think about it at all, (which
is very seldom) is to get themselves
legally tied together and then let
Nature do the rest, while each goes
on as usual about his or her own
selfish concern. This is largely prevalent in arranged marriages. Personally I have seen so little compan
ionship existing in these instances,
that the mere mention of “baishakunin" smothers what little sentiment
I have in my heart.
But love, the only kind worth
describing, “love,” has to be created,
molded, chiselled. It is a work of
art which employs tolerance, ineffable
pathos, faith and paramount pa
