HAVE the greatest respect for
Shinji.
Of course, many people will say
that he is only a fruit store worker and
perhaps that is all he will ever be.
Naturally, twenty dollars a week
isn’t so much money nor is it hardly
enough to start a great fortune. But
to Shinji it was enough to care for his
mother and to help his younger sister
through high school. Most of the other
folks don’t know this.
- Shinji had hopes of going to college.
He was a rather brilliant lad in high
schools. Then tragedy struck, and he
was called to support the family.
Shinji didn’t complain and readily
accepted the responsibility of being
the sole support. I could see that he
was disappointed in not being able to
take the engineering course he had
planned.
Still, family ties and ne
cessity literally forced him to pursue
the work he did.
He was somewhat bitter and sullen
at first. He would come home from
work and never spoke a word at the.
dinner table or in the parlor after
. supper. Each week he would turn his
money over to his mother without even
a word of comment. Many of his boy
friends were taking- girls out to shows,
playing pool, or having a good time.
t
For Rea! Japanese Dishes
TSUBAME
They told about their gaieties.
Many times Shinji would envy
them, but again he accepted his destiny
graciously and without malice.
For five years now Shinji has been
playing the role of the obedient son.
Then he started to think about mar
riage and a career. But he had to
hold on to the job he had, so the
matter of a career was out.
Then marriage. Of course, he didn’t
have- enough resources to have a de
cent wedding, and he decided that he
wouldn’t be able to support a wife in
addition to his mother and sister.
I guess no one paid much attention
to Shinji; nor did they care. He was
just another Nisei in our midst.
But Shinji was fortunate in know
ing a girl like Kaoru. She was sym
pathetic and understanding, but more
important, she was deeply in love with
Shinji.
Just the other day they were mar
ried. Now they all live together and
are getting along well. Both Shinji
and Kaoru are working and every
thing is turning out fine.
These days I notice that Shinji is
quite happy- He surely deserves it.
Though fortune and fame may not be
for him, his reward is to be found in
his new found marital happiness.

HAVE the greatest respect for
Shinji.
Of course, many people will say
that he is only a fruit store worker and
perhaps that is all he will ever be.
Naturally, twenty dollars a week
isn’t so much money nor is it hardly
enough to start a great fortune. But
to Shinji it was enough to care for his
mother and to help his younger sister
through high school. Most of the other
folks don’t know this.
- Shinji had hopes of going to college.
He was a rather brilliant lad in high
schools. Then tragedy struck, and he
was called to support the family.
Shinji didn’t complain and readily
accepted the responsibility of being
the sole support. I could see that he
was disappointed in not being able to
take the engineering course he had
planned.
Still, family ties and ne
cessity literally forced him to pursue
the work he did.
He was somewhat bitter and sullen
at first. He would come home from
work and never spoke a word at the.
dinner table or in the parlor after
. supper. Each week he would turn his
money over to his mother without even
a word of comment. Many of his boy
friends were taking- girls out to shows,
playing pool, or having a good time.
t
For Rea! Japanese Dishes
TSUBAME
They told about their gaieties.
Many times Shinji would envy
them, but again he accepted his destiny
graciously and without malice.
For five years now Shinji has been
playing the role of the obedient son.
Then he started to think about mar
riage and a career. But he had to
hold on to the job he had, so the
matter of a career was out.
Then marriage. Of course, he didn’t
have- enough resources to have a de
cent wedding, and he decided that he
wouldn’t be able to support a wife in
addition to his mother and sister.
I guess no one paid much attention
to Shinji; nor did they care. He was
just another Nisei in our midst.
But Shinji was fortunate in know
ing a girl like Kaoru. She was sym
pathetic and understanding, but more
important, she was deeply in love with
Shinji.
Just the other day they were mar
ried. Now they all live together and
are getting along well. Both Shinji
and Kaoru are working and every
thing is turning out fine.
These days I notice that Shinji is
quite happy- He surely deserves it.
Though fortune and fame may not be
for him, his reward is to be found in
his new found marital happiness.

Shuttiers Cali It Quits on Big Year
The shuttling nights are over. With the final “big event”,
the first international badminton tournament of its kind in
Vancouver’s Nihonmachi, the local badminton league, con
cluded its fourth year of successful activities.
The ‘MatMatsui-directed bird game reached an all-time high, not only
in activities within the club, but outside as well.- Entering
the Greater Vancouver Athletic Association’s badminton loop
for the first time, the Nipponese reps made a very favourable
showing that won high acclaim from their Occidental op
ponents.
-Given a chance to take part in competitive league
matches this year because of the exclusion of more sea
soned G.V.A.A. players, many newcomers, hardly noticed
before sprang into the shuttle limelight. Given another
year of seasoning, Director Matsui believes some of them
will attain standards equal to our topnotchers of today.
In the recent International Shuttle meet against Seattle,
the locals proved conclusively that a couple of years’ head
start makes a big difference to the game. The Americans
although trying to the best of their ability, were able to win
only three games of the 24 played.
There were however, among the visitors, many promising
tyros who should in a couple of years offer much keener
competition. Miss Nomura and Mariko Kondo, well-known
in Vancouver as a Rokka skier, chalked Up the first victory
for the visitors beating Teiko Ide and Chiyo Hyodo ll-—7.
Art Sasaki and Lily Sasaki bested Lily Ide and Mas Toyota in
a hard-fought deuce game 17—16,and for the Americans’
final win, Esther Sakai and M. Kanazawa took the mixed
doubles from Kay Uyeno and Mas Yatabe 15—9.
