Some Concrete Criticisms
By KiNZIE TANAKA
(Publicity Chairman)
i-’^lic Friends' It looks as if the J.C.C.L. is really beginning to
•'nd in a direction that is encouraging. We have had two meetings
.7^ were quite good. The membership is taking greater interest in
' reefings which is splendid.
In last month's article we dealt with the reasons why there is a
■ri oraanization and what its “Aims and Objects" were. This month
Crjod with concrete criticisms of organization. To start with let's
Jv-e the last meeting.
he Problem of "Japanese Time"
The most apparent fault (and this seems to be the fault with all
..r Japanese organizations) was the fact that the meeting started over
j^nhour late. Why is this so? What can be do about improving this
Aciency? I believe the responsibility lies on the shoulders of both the
xecutive and the membership. With perhaps a greater share on the
\cutive. in the past the officers were reluctant to start on time because
Dewere usually only a few members present and not sufficient to wart starting. On the other hand the members came late because they
rew that the meetings never start on time. So that is the present
ituation, and yet the peculiar part is that both the Executive and the
ambers would like the meetings to start on time. This problem was
grossed at the last executive, all the arguments of past experience
.sre brought up, and resulting from it all. is this policy . . .
The rime for the meeting will be 8:15, the chairman will call
the meeting to order promptly at this time even if the only persons
present are a few loyal members of the executive.
This will be
rigidly adhered to so if you wish to help it succeed, come on time.
In fact get there by 8 o'clock.
It would be wonderful for our club
to have the reputation as the only Japanese organization that starts
its meetings consistently on time.
How about it---- members?
Let's
help!
Moving on to the business part of the meeting—I believe this is
mproving. When conducted by a capable chairman, the business of the
Jub can be dealt with quickly and interestingly without loss of efficiency.
The reading of the minutes of the last Executive meeting is a decided
;tep forward, for by this means membership will know just what the
Executive is doing for the organization and just what activities the
J.C.C.L. is undertaking.
The Girls Are Growing Up
The speaker for the last meeting, Mr. McTavish, was interesting,
>ut what was more interesting, in fact astounding, was the number of
questions put to the speaker by the memberhsip. Mr. McTavish was
kept busy for a whole hour doing nothing but answering or attempting
to answer the barrage of pertinent and interesting questions asked of him.
Even the feminine section, yes, the so-called shy girls, were asking
queries that showed real thought. This is splendid! The only other
criticism here is that perhaps the question period was a little too long.
I know I got barnacles on the backside from sitting still for an hour
and a half.
It was rather unfortunate that time did mot allow for the second
part of the program, which was to be the report and discussion on the
recently conducted questionnaire of the J.C.C.L. organization. The com
mittee worked hard so you may expect some results, in fact some of the
findings are already being put into action. This questionnaire will be
thoroughly discussed at the next membership meeting.
Members Getting Together
During tea and refreshments, I noticed that the members are be
ginning to mix a little more with the others; they are breaking down
that cold reserve and becomirtg more friendly and more sociable.
If
we keep it up we will have a really fine, leading and progressive organ
ization of which you and I will certainly be proud. So let's work towards
that end. The Executive needs your support and in turn they will do
di they can to make this organization the best Nisei body in Canada.

itizens League, prepared by the Vancouver Chapter.)

This will be
rigidly adhered to so if you wish to help it succeed, come on time.
In fact get there by 8 o'clock.
It would be wonderful for our club
to have the reputation as the only Japanese organization that starts
its meetings consistently on time.
How about it---- members?
Let's
help!
Moving on to the business part of the meeting—I believe this is
mproving. When conducted by a capable chairman, the business of the
Jub can be dealt with quickly and interestingly without loss of efficiency.
The reading of the minutes of the last Executive meeting is a decided
;tep forward, for by this means membership will know just what the
Executive is doing for the organization and just what activities the
J.C.C.L. is undertaking.
The Girls Are Growing Up
The speaker for the last meeting, Mr. McTavish, was interesting,
>ut what was more interesting, in fact astounding, was the number of
questions put to the speaker by the memberhsip. Mr. McTavish was
kept busy for a whole hour doing nothing but answering or attempting
to answer the barrage of pertinent and interesting questions asked of him.
Even the feminine section, yes, the so-called shy girls, were asking
queries that showed real thought. This is splendid! The only other
criticism here is that perhaps the question period was a little too long.
I know I got barnacles on the backside from sitting still for an hour
and a half.
It was rather unfortunate that time did mot allow for the second
part of the program, which was to be the report and discussion on the
recently conducted questionnaire of the J.C.C.L. organization. The com
mittee worked hard so you may expect some results, in fact some of the
findings are already being put into action. This questionnaire will be
thoroughly discussed at the next membership meeting.
Members Getting Together
During tea and refreshments, I noticed that the members are be
ginning to mix a little more with the others; they are breaking down
that cold reserve and becomirtg more friendly and more sociable.
If
we keep it up we will have a really fine, leading and progressive organ
ization of which you and I will certainly be proud. So let's work towards
that end. The Executive needs your support and in turn they will do
di they can to make this organization the best Nisei body in Canada.
(Second in the series of publicity releases on the Japanese Canadian
itizens League, prepared by the Vancouver Chapter.)
