Issei-Ns sea Social Contacts
HERE is evidently in the community at the present time a
feeling that we might well devote a large proportion of our
energies and talents to the study of those questions which arise
not so much out of our relationships with Canadian society at
large, as much as from our personal relationships with one
another. In recent months, for instance, the question of boy
girl relationships and of marriage economy, has been the topic
of widespread contact; the development of our social service
agencies of various kinds looms as a growing issue.
Our study of these relationships have served to disclose,
or rather to emphasize as never before, the basic need for the
cultivation of closer and more co-operative ties between the
first and second generation. It becomes increasingly clear that
neither group can act successfully without the willing and
adequate support of the other. Not only is this true of internal
questions, such as marriage form and reform. It applies with
equal force to our contacts with Canadian society—Red Cross
work, national registration, military service, Victory Loan
campaigns, and so forth—all of which of necessity have called
forth a working harmony between the younger and older
groups.
In a normal and settled community these ties are
fixed as a part of the institutional pattern. But in the
between a foreign and native culture, they are strained at
immigrant community, where there is' continual conflict
times to the breaking point by differing viewpoints, dif
fering tastes and habits, differing psychologies.
Hence
we have an acute need now to undertake a conscious
program of relieving that strain, and in every way to
strengthen anti to bolstei' harmony between the Issei and
Nisei.
,
•
A recent picnic held under the auspices of one of our larger
business concerns, where first and second generation joined in
dancing together (admittedly under somewhat unsettled and
abnormal conditions), suggests the possibilities of promoting a
more intimate and personal social contact between the two
groups—a social contact which would be invaluable in helping
each generation to appreciate the viewpoint of the other.
We have the seeds for furthering such contact in various
church affairs, in junior-senior kenjin-kai (kindred society)
relationships, in the custom of paying respect to the aged. But
there is a wide field for the larger Nisei organizations to plan
intelligently and understandingly a program to bring older
and younger people together- in social events. Properly con
ducted, such affairs would clear up a cloud of first generation
misunderstanding, aid the older people to take a more tolerant
and broad-minded view of Canadian social customs, and most
of all would serve to provide a secure and solid foundation for
Issei-Nisei unity.
T
The High School Grad
IUELL over a hundred young second generation boys and
” girl's, closing up their school books fbr the last time, now
leave school days behind them. And in the routine familiar
to most of us, they will go out into the world, seeking a profit
able use for their hands, their heads and their talents.
There is no need today to set before them a review of the
difficulties. they can expect to meet, for most of that is now
common knowledge. Nor possibly is there much that we can
urge upon them, except that oft-repeated and undoubted
declaration that it is only out of their qualities of courage and
determination that they can hope to build for themselves a life
that is both useful and enjoyable.
But one significant trend we should like to point out.
Simply this, that they take keen note of the rapid changes
in Canada today, where established custom, prejudice, and
a status quo of two decades is being swept away by the
forces set loose from the war.
Three or four decades ago, the Issei pioneers came to this
Province in the midst of its rapid development and exploita
tion. In that flux and change and growth, foreign, untutored,
ignorant as they were, they found and seized the opportunities
which laid the foundations of our modern community.
Today, as not before since that time, things are breaking,
things are moving, a new structure is a-building, just as it was
in the decade prior to 1910. Not only in British Columbia, but
in the whole of Canada.
If the vocational problem these young people face is more
complex, so is their training and education more adequate and
extensive. If there was opportunity thirty years ago for Issei
pioneers in a rapidly growing British Columbia; so is there
opportunity today for Nisei pioneers in a rapidly changing
Canada.

Unity—The Key To
Our Entire Future
(From "Canadians AH")
A very important conclusion for
us here in Canada is that none of
our national groups from Europe is
really alien to the rest of us. AH,
by nature, are just as kind, just as
honest, just as capable of serving and
suffering, as any of the others.
It
is one of the darkest crimes of our
modern world that some evil-hearted
men have sought to preach that one
nationality (they would falsely say
('race") is superior to others, and is
entitled, because of that superiority,
to insult and enslave and extermin
ate others. It is important that we,
even here in Canada, should be care
ful never to assume that our fellow
Canadians, of. any origin, are by
nature unworthy of our sympathy,
respect, and good will. A few in
all groups, even the English and the
French, have been taught by evil
propagandists to have hate in their
hearts; but the vast majority of all
Canadians are honest, loyal folk,
ready and willing to contribute much
to our united national life.
Unity does not, however, .neces
sarily mean uniformity. A country
in which all people spoke the same
language, attended the same church,
and had the same opinions on all
important subjects would be in sorry
danger of developing sleeping sick
ness.— On the other hand, the ne
cessity for adjusting antagonistic
points of view in the open forum of
democratic discussion is the surest
guarantee of progressive and intel
ligent national policies . . .
The thing
that, unites a
people
into singleness of nationhood is shar
ing together in great common ex
periences, working and striving to
gether in great causes. Destiny has
provided us with such an issue to

Issei-Ns sea Social Contacts
HERE is evidently in the community at the present time a
feeling that we might well devote a large proportion of our
energies and talents to the study of those questions which arise
not so much out of our relationships with Canadian society at
large, as much as from our personal relationships with one
another. In recent months, for instance, the question of boy
girl relationships and of marriage economy, has been the topic
of widespread contact; the development of our social service
agencies of various kinds looms as a growing issue.
Our study of these relationships have served to disclose,
or rather to emphasize as never before, the basic need for the
cultivation of closer and more co-operative ties between the
first and second generation. It becomes increasingly clear that
neither group can act successfully without the willing and
adequate support of the other. Not only is this true of internal
questions, such as marriage form and reform. It applies with
equal force to our contacts with Canadian society—Red Cross
work, national registration, military service, Victory Loan
campaigns, and so forth—all of which of necessity have called
forth a working harmony between the younger and older
groups.
In a normal and settled community these ties are
fixed as a part of the institutional pattern. But in the
between a foreign and native culture, they are strained at
immigrant community, where there is' continual conflict
times to the breaking point by differing viewpoints, dif
fering tastes and habits, differing psychologies.
Hence
we have an acute need now to undertake a conscious
program of relieving that strain, and in every way to
strengthen anti to bolstei' harmony between the Issei and
Nisei.
,
•
A recent picnic held under the auspices of one of our larger
business concerns, where first and second generation joined in
dancing together (admittedly under somewhat unsettled and
abnormal conditions), suggests the possibilities of promoting a
more intimate and personal social contact between the two
groups—a social contact which would be invaluable in helping
each generation to appreciate the viewpoint of the other.
We have the seeds for furthering such contact in various
church affairs, in junior-senior kenjin-kai (kindred society)
relationships, in the custom of paying respect to the aged. But
there is a wide field for the larger Nisei organizations to plan
intelligently and understandingly a program to bring older
and younger people together- in social events. Properly con
ducted, such affairs would clear up a cloud of first generation
misunderstanding, aid the older people to take a more tolerant
and broad-minded view of Canadian social customs, and most
of all would serve to provide a secure and solid foundation for
Issei-Nisei unity.
T
The High School Grad
IUELL over a hundred young second generation boys and
” girl's, closing up their school books fbr the last time, now
leave school days behind them. And in the routine familiar
to most of us, they will go out into the world, seeking a profit
able use for their hands, their heads and their talents.
There is no need today to set before them a review of the
difficulties. they can expect to meet, for most of that is now
common knowledge. Nor possibly is there much that we can
urge upon them, except that oft-repeated and undoubted
declaration that it is only out of their qualities of courage and
determination that they can hope to build for themselves a life
that is both useful and enjoyable.
But one significant trend we should like to point out.
Simply this, that they take keen note of the rapid changes
in Canada today, where established custom, prejudice, and
a status quo of two decades is being swept away by the
forces set loose from the war.
Three or four decades ago, the Issei pioneers came to this
Province in the midst of its rapid development and exploita
tion. In that flux and change and growth, foreign, untutored,
ignorant as they were, they found and seized the opportunities
which laid the foundations of our modern community.
Today, as not before since that time, things are breaking,
things are moving, a new structure is a-building, just as it was
in the decade prior to 1910. Not only in British Columbia, but
in the whole of Canada.
If the vocational problem these young people face is more
complex, so is their training and education more adequate and
extensive. If there was opportunity thirty years ago for Issei
pioneers in a rapidly growing British Columbia; so is there
opportunity today for Nisei pioneers in a rapidly changing
Canada.

Unity—The Key To
Our Entire Future
(From "Canadians AH")
A very important conclusion for
us here in Canada is that none of
our national groups from Europe is
really alien to the rest of us. AH,
by nature, are just as kind, just as
honest, just as capable of serving and
suffering, as any of the others.
It
is one of the darkest crimes of our
modern world that some evil-hearted
men have sought to preach that one
nationality (they would falsely say
('race") is superior to others, and is
entitled, because of that superiority,
to insult and enslave and extermin
ate others. It is important that we,
even here in Canada, should be care
ful never to assume that our fellow
Canadians, of. any origin, are by
nature unworthy of our sympathy,
respect, and good will. A few in
all groups, even the English and the
French, have been taught by evil
propagandists to have hate in their
hearts; but the vast majority of all
Canadians are honest, loyal folk,
ready and willing to contribute much
to our united national life.
Unity does not, however, .neces
sarily mean uniformity. A country
in which all people spoke the same
language, attended the same church,
and had the same opinions on all
important subjects would be in sorry
danger of developing sleeping sick
ness.— On the other hand, the ne
cessity for adjusting antagonistic
points of view in the open forum of
democratic discussion is the surest
guarantee of progressive and intel
ligent national policies . . .
The thing
that, unites a
people
into singleness of nationhood is shar
ing together in great common ex
periences, working and striving to
gether in great causes. Destiny has
provided us with such an issue to
day. Out of the world's tragic er
rors and the black ambitions of
wicked men, a monster of hate and
horror has been let loose on the
world; and it is our perilous privilege
to stand by the side of Great Britain
in withstanding and overcoming the
evil creature. That task has acceler
ated by half a century the growth of
Canadian national unity. The threat
to human, national, and religious
freedom has challenged us all alike
and brought us together in a struggle
of ever-increasing gravity and reso
lution. We, the people of Canada,

more closely and unselfishly than
they have ever done in the past.
How shall we possibly play a part in

July . . . and the dawn breaks without sound,

. . . busy men . . .

and the sun gives promise of a hot, hot day.
July . . . and at noon-hour the city whirls
as salesgirls, office-girls, office boys, tramp
into dime restaurants, cafeterias, eating-houses

While glamour wilts, and the tempers rise,
and the office clock drags monotonously
and invoices, letters, becoming blurred
before visions of long sandy stretches and cool, green depths . . .
of white sails skimming on tranquil seas . . .
and when with only five minutes to go, the never-failing
“Take this letter, Miss Brown”.
July . . . and at five, the world is quiet again
as typewriters are covered, and phones are stilled . . .
even the fly has left its haunts
for fairer fields ...
and a cool breeze meanders through the summer close . . .
the sun lingers in a more tender way,
lingers on mountains like a reluctant guest,
knowing he must go, yet unwilling to leave
