YOUNG VIOLETS
A S good as a thrill that comes once in a lifetime was a letter from a fan
In Victoria
FOR WOMEN ONLY
We reap what we sow.
Girls,, we reap only what we sow, and if those pretty compliments
about our hair, or eyes, or smile, do not come our way, it’s nine-tenths
MUSIC B®X With-
our own doing.
Haven't you said it yourself, now? It might have been one night,
coming home from a show, just beneath lamplight, or perhaps during a
dreamy waltz, or even a& work, that someone has suddenly seen you for
the first time in your true colors, become suddenly aware of your good
points and said, “My, you’re really nice-looking, aren’t you?” or “You
remind me of Claudette Colbert” (what a hope!), or “I like the way
you smile”. . .
Ten to one, you came out with “How much do you want—a
quarter?” or “Don’t be a nut!” or “You’re not so bad yourself!” No
wonder those pretty compliments don’t come your way!
Which class do you fall into?
If you fall into the “How-much-do-you-want---- a-quarter?” or
the “Don’t-be-a-nut!” class, you’re only being hard-boiled or smartly
glib, and you'll pay for it in the long run. We all know it’s an easy way
to coyer up embarrassment or self-consciousness but let’s consider it from
the other point of view. It takes courage to give a compliment. And
compliments are sincere, and a retort like the above two infers that the
giver o.f the compliment is a Casanova or a flatterer.
Or perhaps you giggle and mumble and flutter. That’s twice as
bad for it gives the gentleman the idea that you’ve never had a com
pliment given to you before. The reaction to this is that if he’s not quite
a gentleman, he’ll string you along for the fun of it or leave you alone
with a mental note that maybe he was wrong and that he had imagined
non-existent virtues.
Or, maybe you are the “You’re-not-so-bad-yourself ” type. Well,
let me tell you a story told by a lady on “charm.” It’s exactly what you
are doing when your answer is the last mentioned. A little girl was told
by her chum that her dress was pretty. She smirked at her little friend
and said, “Your dress is pretty, too.”
So, one should never return a compliment in kind at the time one is
given. It’s like anti-climaxing a rousing good story. Let the complimenter have the stage. It’ll satisfy the ego, and what self-respecting per
son hasn’t some of that!
One doesn’t have to go into rhapsodies or play coyly demure to a

YOUNG VIOLETS
A S good as a thrill that comes once in a lifetime was a letter from a fan
In Victoria
FOR WOMEN ONLY
We reap what we sow.
Girls,, we reap only what we sow, and if those pretty compliments
about our hair, or eyes, or smile, do not come our way, it’s nine-tenths
MUSIC B®X With-
our own doing.
Haven't you said it yourself, now? It might have been one night,
coming home from a show, just beneath lamplight, or perhaps during a
dreamy waltz, or even a& work, that someone has suddenly seen you for
the first time in your true colors, become suddenly aware of your good
points and said, “My, you’re really nice-looking, aren’t you?” or “You
remind me of Claudette Colbert” (what a hope!), or “I like the way
you smile”. . .
Ten to one, you came out with “How much do you want—a
quarter?” or “Don’t be a nut!” or “You’re not so bad yourself!” No
wonder those pretty compliments don’t come your way!
Which class do you fall into?
If you fall into the “How-much-do-you-want---- a-quarter?” or
the “Don’t-be-a-nut!” class, you’re only being hard-boiled or smartly
glib, and you'll pay for it in the long run. We all know it’s an easy way
to coyer up embarrassment or self-consciousness but let’s consider it from
the other point of view. It takes courage to give a compliment. And
compliments are sincere, and a retort like the above two infers that the
giver o.f the compliment is a Casanova or a flatterer.
Or perhaps you giggle and mumble and flutter. That’s twice as
bad for it gives the gentleman the idea that you’ve never had a com
pliment given to you before. The reaction to this is that if he’s not quite
a gentleman, he’ll string you along for the fun of it or leave you alone
with a mental note that maybe he was wrong and that he had imagined
non-existent virtues.
Or, maybe you are the “You’re-not-so-bad-yourself ” type. Well,
let me tell you a story told by a lady on “charm.” It’s exactly what you
are doing when your answer is the last mentioned. A little girl was told
by her chum that her dress was pretty. She smirked at her little friend
and said, “Your dress is pretty, too.”
So, one should never return a compliment in kind at the time one is
given. It’s like anti-climaxing a rousing good story. Let the complimenter have the stage. It’ll satisfy the ego, and what self-respecting per
son hasn’t some of that!
One doesn’t have to go into rhapsodies or play coyly demure to a
spoken praise. You must admit that it’s wonderful to be told that you’re
nice. “I’m so glad you like it,” You are very kind,” or even just “Thank

T KNEW- a boy once, and his name
was Masao. He fell in love one day
when he was still very young. To
him, then she was the epitome of
charm and desirability, a shining
jewel among all the girls he had ever
met. Then his mother found out. His
mother was an old-fashioned Issei.
Can you- guess what happened after*
that? You can pretty well tell, can’t
you, that the knife of parental dis
pleasure fell hard on the two young
innocents, cutting them apart forever.
Perhaps, he would have outgrown
her anyway, if he had been left alone
to adore her in his own way. Per
haps she was to have been the only
one in his life. How was he to know?
Especially as he never saw her again
except from a distance. That distance
lent her glamour that perhaps she did
not really have. She seemed to him
as the one precious, treasure he had
lost through the unsympathetic intol
erance of one who, of all people,
should have understood his need. His
mother should have been his best
friend when he was going through
the exquisite throes of his first love
affair.
The young must go through all the
stages of physical, mental, and psy
chological growth before they can be
truly adult. If they 'are denied the
natural outlets for their young and
wholly unconscious animal spirits,
their altogether delightful yet ex
cruciating sensitive adolescence, what
can you expect but moody frustration.
They must dance and sing and wor
ship and study. Sports, parties, girl
friends and boy-friends, these they
must take in their stride as they
study and grow towards manhood and
womanhood.
It would be a good idea if the
younger Niseis and the growing San
seis could have a more tolerant under
standing from the parents and guard
ians
about
these
ever-increasing
Dances.
At present, dancing is the
form of social recreation that is most
popular with the younger crowd, or
even the older one.
If the parents
would only keep to themselves their
old-fashiond fears concerning the al
leged promiscuity of cheek-to-cheek
dancing ,the young would not find
such forbidden thrills in it.
I do not countenance open defiance
of objecting parents. Defiance makes
for unhappiness all around, but, if
we could get the Issei to stage a few
parties fox- the Nisei and have the
former watch the latter have fun un
trammelled, laugh in wholesome en
joyment of dancing and a bit of flirt
ing, I am sure there would be a better
understanding of the needs of the
Canadian-born.
If we could teach
our parents to dance, then they might
see how it is with the young.
It is humiliating and tragic when
you feel your parents don’t trust you
with a girl or a boy. I am sure that
is the best way to start a smoldering
grudge against all and any kind of
legitimate Issei authority. To prevent
such misunderstanding between par
ent and child, here’s a wee bit o’ ad
vice that I offer with true deference
to the wisdom and sympathy of adults
who would see our point of view if
they knew more about it:
Trust the young’s inherent good
common sense, and they will repay a
thousand-fold with gratitude and con
sideration.

T KNEW- a boy once, and his name
was Masao. He fell in love one day
when he was still very young. To
him, then she was the epitome of
charm and desirability, a shining
jewel among all the girls he had ever
met. Then his mother found out. His
mother was an old-fashioned Issei.
Can you- guess what happened after*
that? You can pretty well tell, can’t
you, that the knife of parental dis
pleasure fell hard on the two young
innocents, cutting them apart forever.
Perhaps, he would have outgrown
her anyway, if he had been left alone
to adore her in his own way. Per
haps she was to have been the only
one in his life. How was he to know?
Especially as he never saw her again
except from a distance. That distance
lent her glamour that perhaps she did
not really have. She seemed to him
as the one precious, treasure he had
lost through the unsympathetic intol
erance of one who, of all people,
should have understood his need. His
mother should have been his best
friend when he was going through
the exquisite throes of his first love
affair.
The young must go through all the
stages of physical, mental, and psy
chological growth before they can be
truly adult. If they 'are denied the
natural outlets for their young and
wholly unconscious animal spirits,
their altogether delightful yet ex
cruciating sensitive adolescence, what
can you expect but moody frustration.
They must dance and sing and wor
ship and study. Sports, parties, girl
friends and boy-friends, these they
must take in their stride as they
study and grow towards manhood and
womanhood.
It would be a good idea if the
younger Niseis and the growing San
seis could have a more tolerant under
standing from the parents and guard
ians
about
these
ever-increasing
Dances.
At present, dancing is the
form of social recreation that is most
popular with the younger crowd, or
even the older one.
If the parents
would only keep to themselves their
old-fashiond fears concerning the al
leged promiscuity of cheek-to-cheek
dancing ,the young would not find
such forbidden thrills in it.
I do not countenance open defiance
of objecting parents. Defiance makes
for unhappiness all around, but, if
we could get the Issei to stage a few
parties fox- the Nisei and have the
former watch the latter have fun un
trammelled, laugh in wholesome en
joyment of dancing and a bit of flirt
ing, I am sure there would be a better
understanding of the needs of the
Canadian-born.
If we could teach
our parents to dance, then they might
see how it is with the young.
It is humiliating and tragic when
you feel your parents don’t trust you
with a girl or a boy. I am sure that
is the best way to start a smoldering
grudge against all and any kind of
legitimate Issei authority. To prevent
such misunderstanding between par
ent and child, here’s a wee bit o’ ad
vice that I offer with true deference
to the wisdom and sympathy of adults
who would see our point of view if
they knew more about it:
Trust the young’s inherent good
common sense, and they will repay a
thousand-fold with gratitude and con
sideration.

Russo-Japanese Pact
ARYING interpretations have been
attached to the diplomatic man
oeuvre accomplished last week in the
signing of a Soviet Russia-Japan neu
trality pact, but probably the strong
est weight is attached to the prediction
of an active Japanese drive toward
southern Asia.
Whether any such move will be
made, and if so, what possible conflict
will it precipitate are questions which
possibly may be answered within the
space of a few weeks.
It is not likely, however, that the
V
new treaty will be beneficial to local
Japanese Canadians through a lessen
ing of feeling and suspicion against
them. Rather the reverse is probably
true, and military or naval develop
ments in Europe and in Asia are likely
to have a direct and vital bearing upon
the status of Canadians of Japanese
ancestry in this province.
For us, of course, there is little that
can be done, beyond that which we
are doing. Our course, ever since the
war began, has been to serye Canada
as loyal subjects and good citizens.
We have attempted to carry as much
of the war burden as possible, as the
current war services drive in Vancou
ver has illustrated. First among all
groups, the Japanese community con
tributed a sum 33 1-3 per cent over its
quota.
Both by word and deed
throughout the province there has
been a continuing emphasis upon a
Canadian outlook and a Canadian
spirit on the part of every individual.

spellings might not a Kitagawa event

Perhaps we ought to translate our
