F.D.R/s Note To Canadians
based is taken from the report sub
A PERTINENT note on behalf of the Nisei in the United
mitted to last Monday's conference
States was sounded by President Roosevelt recently, when
At the Minshu Hall.j
he warned in no uncertain terms that the government would
not stand for continud discrimination against any American
worker because of his racial or religious background. He
declared that such prejudice hampered and hindered the pro
gress of defence industries and was too strongly reminiscent of
the totalitarian spirit to be countenanced by the American
government.
Such a note, both statesmanlike and politically ex
pedient, is one that Canadians themselves, in the battle to
the finish against the spirit of totalitarianism, may well
take to heart.
We have in Canada just such conditions as those which
drew this stern rebuke from the President. In the past dis
crimination against Canadian-born Orientals has shut them out
of advanced training in the skilled trades, despite an admitted
manual dexterity which would enable them to advance rapidly
as skilled workers. Many, however, have received an elemen
tary training in technical work; and not a few have received
specialized training and education which would enable them
to make valuable contributions to industry in Canada.
But jobs as unskilled laborers would seem to be the only
occupations open to .the Canadian-born Oriental, no matter
what his talents, and not excluding even those who hold
electrical and chemical engineering degrees from our
Universities.
Political and economic expediency thus is added to the
already
arguments

demand an equal opportunity for every citizen, no matter

A PERTINENT note on behalf of the Nisei in the United
mitted to last Monday's conference
States was sounded by President Roosevelt recently, when
At the Minshu Hall.j
he warned in no uncertain terms that the government would
not stand for continud discrimination against any American
worker because of his racial or religious background. He
declared that such prejudice hampered and hindered the pro
gress of defence industries and was too strongly reminiscent of
the totalitarian spirit to be countenanced by the American
government.
Such a note, both statesmanlike and politically ex
pedient, is one that Canadians themselves, in the battle to
the finish against the spirit of totalitarianism, may well
take to heart.
We have in Canada just such conditions as those which
drew this stern rebuke from the President. In the past dis
crimination against Canadian-born Orientals has shut them out
of advanced training in the skilled trades, despite an admitted
manual dexterity which would enable them to advance rapidly
as skilled workers. Many, however, have received an elemen
tary training in technical work; and not a few have received
specialized training and education which would enable them
to make valuable contributions to industry in Canada.
But jobs as unskilled laborers would seem to be the only
occupations open to .the Canadian-born Oriental, no matter
what his talents, and not excluding even those who hold
electrical and chemical engineering degrees from our
Universities.
Political and economic expediency thus is added to the

Just down the street, a frowsy old Indian woman, teetering on her
heels is being helped down the curb by a Nisei boy, on his way to school.
Noblesse Oblige! Perhaps the boy does not know what this means.
But he doesn't need to know, for he is courtesy personified. It mattered
not to him whether she was a drunken woman of the street. She was a
woman who needed help.

in silence.
The loveliest things come unheralded. They creep upon us so silently,
that we do not know that they have come until we see, or smell, or hear,
or touch them.
The dawn is ever still. The dew that sparkles in the early7 morning
sun falls as noiselessly7 as the dawn itself. Sunset slips quietly7 out of the
west. The moon travels its noiseless course across the heaven. The clouds
float, the buds break, without sound. And lovelier still, and more tender,
is the silent love which lurks in the eyes of a friend, the quiet handclasp,
: the sympathetic smile.
These things make life worth its struggles.

Beyond Man’s Comprehension
Then, on top of all this, women possess certain talents, certain
characteristics and intuitions which are her “rod” and “staff" to comfort
her in crises. These are entirely beyond man s humble, honest compre
hensions. Perhaps Eve compiled these unwritten codes, but today, women
live, breathe and are guided by them. Nobody but a woman would get
real pleasure from having got the best of a catty friend: know at a glance,
whether or not another woman’s fur coat is “the real thing": bother to
lie about her age: enjoy having a man treat her like a not quite bright
child of ten: or instinctively know at a glance whether or not another
woman is a potential rival: or instinctively like a homely woman better
than a beauty.
“O, if I were only born a man”! Don’t believe a woman when she
says this. What she really means is a man’s life with all the privileges
granted to women. Take the privileges away from her and she will be
the most miserable individual in the land.

I cannot help but recall the famous designer Worth’s bit of advice,

Just down the street, a frowsy old Indian woman, teetering on her
heels is being helped down the curb by a Nisei boy, on his way to school.
Noblesse Oblige! Perhaps the boy does not know what this means.
But he doesn't need to know, for he is courtesy personified. It mattered
not to him whether she was a drunken woman of the street. She was a
woman who needed help.
Emily Post, that social dictator, has said: “When you see a woman

in silence.
The loveliest things come unheralded. They creep upon us so silently,
that we do not know that they have come until we see, or smell, or hear,
or touch them.
The dawn is ever still. The dew that sparkles in the early7 morning
sun falls as noiselessly7 as the dawn itself. Sunset slips quietly7 out of the
west. The moon travels its noiseless course across the heaven. The clouds
float, the buds break, without sound. And lovelier still, and more tender,
is the silent love which lurks in the eyes of a friend, the quiet handclasp,
: the sympathetic smile.
These things make life worth its struggles.

Beyond Man’s Comprehension
Then, on top of all this, women possess certain talents, certain
characteristics and intuitions which are her “rod” and “staff" to comfort
her in crises. These are entirely beyond man s humble, honest compre
hensions. Perhaps Eve compiled these unwritten codes, but today, women
live, breathe and are guided by them. Nobody but a woman would get
real pleasure from having got the best of a catty friend: know at a glance,
whether or not another woman’s fur coat is “the real thing": bother to
lie about her age: enjoy having a man treat her like a not quite bright
child of ten: or instinctively know at a glance whether or not another
woman is a potential rival: or instinctively like a homely woman better
than a beauty.
“O, if I were only born a man”! Don’t believe a woman when she
says this. What she really means is a man’s life with all the privileges
granted to women. Take the privileges away from her and she will be
the most miserable individual in the land.

because of space limitations and other factors, we were unable to conduct

However, with graduation here again, we think it would be a crime
not to give the matric students their due, and so we're glad to inscribe
in these columns these studies from the school annuals. Next week
we hope to bring you more Nisei matrics from the red, white and green,

Almost Sure of Crowns der

The regular schedule of the Young Japanese Canadian
Mixed 5 Pin Bowling League finishes tonight, drawing to a
close ten weeks of play at the Commodore Bowling Alleys.
The manner of the playoffs will be determined tonight
when league officials and team captains meet prior to the
league matches to thresh out perplexing problems. Just the
three top teams in each division will compete in the playoffs,
but me thinks there’s going to be some trouble determining
the top Three.
As the White Cap Sea Food Trophy race hits its final lap,
Fuji Chop Suey and Harry’s Clothiers are perched precariously
on the top step of Division One and Division Two respectively,
with the remainder of the teams bunched closely behind. Every
game, every pin will count tonight when the top teams try
vainly to hold their coveted positions while others not so well
up battle in one last bid to get into the select three.
With handicaps balancing the competition evenly, any
thing can still happen and a dark horse may still come into the
money.
In individual honors Jack Tehara’s high single game of
359, bowled last Thursday, will be the mark to beat if you
wish to cop the high singles record, while his consistent 230
average still places him as the “Kingpin” of the league.
Among the fairer sex, Mary Shimizu is in a class all by
herself and is walking away with all the honours. At present
she leads the ladies’ with a 191 average, holds the high singles
mark by bowling 297, and also a three-game aggregate mark
of 739. A fairly safe mark of 862 for a three game total
among the men is held by Jack Koyama, of Union Fish.

Almost Sure of Crowns der

The regular schedule of the Young Japanese Canadian
Mixed 5 Pin Bowling League finishes tonight, drawing to a
close ten weeks of play at the Commodore Bowling Alleys.
The manner of the playoffs will be determined tonight
when league officials and team captains meet prior to the
league matches to thresh out perplexing problems. Just the
three top teams in each division will compete in the playoffs,
but me thinks there’s going to be some trouble determining
the top Three.
As the White Cap Sea Food Trophy race hits its final lap,
Fuji Chop Suey and Harry’s Clothiers are perched precariously
on the top step of Division One and Division Two respectively,
with the remainder of the teams bunched closely behind. Every
game, every pin will count tonight when the top teams try
vainly to hold their coveted positions while others not so well
up battle in one last bid to get into the select three.
With handicaps balancing the competition evenly, any
thing can still happen and a dark horse may still come into the
money.
In individual honors Jack Tehara’s high single game of
359, bowled last Thursday, will be the mark to beat if you
wish to cop the high singles record, while his consistent 230
average still places him as the “Kingpin” of the league.
Among the fairer sex, Mary Shimizu is in a class all by
herself and is walking away with all the honours. At present
she leads the ladies’ with a 191 average, holds the high singles
mark by bowling 297, and also a three-game aggregate mark
of 739. A fairly safe mark of 862 for a three game total
among the men is held by Jack Koyama, of Union Fish.
