By CINDERELLA
Man’s lift is a series of repetitions.
Of most of these he is quite uncon
scious.
As an embryo forming in
his mother's womb, for instance, he
assumes shapes representative of suc
cessive phases in the evolution of the
whole race of man. Thus at one stage
he will have gill-slits, and at another,
a tail. It is when he has recapitulated
in his own tiny body the whole de
velopment of his kind that he emerges
into the light of day.
Embarked upon individual exist
ence. he again repeats certain patterns
that biology has imposed on the life
of our species. Like every' man who
has lived before him. he passes suc
cessively from mewling infancy,
through childhood, adolescence, ma
turity. middle-age. and on to senes
cence and death. Then,- too, environ
ment sets him certain cultural and
social patterns to follow, and unless
he is out of the ordinary he will
spend his life doing pretty much the
same things that previous occupants
of his particular milieu did. He is
allowed a certain leeway in the choice
of an actual occupation, but you
probably find that an Eskimo’s mind
runs more on seal-hunting than on
stock-market speculation.
There are further repetitions of a
less general sort. Man, in his own
individual lifetime, will repeat him
self—that is, he will go through
certain phases of his intellectual and
spiritual development more than once.
The most obvious instance of this
is associated with the period when a
man falls in love bard for the first
time.
Up to that point, as boy,
adolescent and youth, he has been
building up a fund of worldly knowl
edge of which he is inordinately' vain.
His mooncalf days are past and his
once dewy idealism is more tempered
to what he considers the realities of
life.
He abominates sentimentality
of every kind and makes it a point to
groan audibly' when he encounters ex
amples of it in print, on the screen,
or in everyday life. If he is a par
ticularly precocious specimen, he pub
licly' advertises himself as an outright
skeptic or cynic.
Then some pert little chit of a
girl ensnares him. Back he goes to
the stage he had left ostensibly' years
ago. All his vaunted hardness dis
solves in a rosy halation, and his crit
ical faculties arc' left with no more
edge than a slab of gelatin dessert.
The object of his devotion may
be the silliest goose in the world,
with more health than brains; but
to him she is a fount of all that is
witty' and significant. He himself is
in such a state of mental retrogression
that he begins to find strange hidden
meanings in those very banalities of
endearment he once thought intoler
ably idiotic.
The degeneration is
complete when he no longer finds the
rhyming of “June’ and moon of
fensive.
If he stays in lov'e, he may succeed
in living out his allotted span of
years in a somewhat diminished con
tinuation of the original roseate glow.
If he falls out of love, he soon re
covers his earlier bravado and knowl
edge-able mien, and soon continues
on his reckless way until he falls in
love a second time. And the whole
pathetic spectacle of mental dissolu
tion is repeated.
—TARO KATAYAMA
Women Are Such Creatures.
At last the business meeting was over and five boys and a girl were
ready to go home and to bed. It was midnight. The girl had to walk
several blocks to catch a street car for home. She put on her hat, her
coat and picked up her purse.
“Well, so long, boys. I have to be going’’!
“Good bye” I
“Go straight home, now’’!
“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do’’!
The door closed. She went out into the night, alone. Oh! Oh!
Boys! How could you! What’s the matter with you all? Quick, get
your hat and run after her—take her to the street car line. Of course,
nothing is likely' to happen to her—she’s gone home alone many a time
before this. But surely, it won’t kill you--- and it is the courteous thing
to do.------------------------------------------------------------ "
Walk her to the street car line, see that she gets on safely—it won’t
cost you a cent—and it makes her feel like a queen—like somebody' precious
and important—not as someone to be taken for granted.
That’s all very' well, but she'll expect this sort of thing all the time,
and what if she lives in the east end and you in the west end, you ask.
Don’t worry. The thoughtful girl will co-operate. If she lives in the
other end of town, she’ll make sure she’ll not miss the last street car.
It’s the little acts of common courtesy' which endear men and boys to
the girls. Brawn, height, intelligence, good looks, are assets, to be sure,
but it is the little attentive gesture, the little thoughtful things which
men do for them that linger in the mind like fragments of an unforgettable
melody.
And gentlemen, let’s not forget the “happily' marrieds’’ in our midst.
Said one of them, half-humorously, ba If-wistfully'. “When one’s a married
woman, she has to fend for herself ’! Oh!.Oh!
A gentleman draws no lines. He is courteous, not only because “she
is his heart’s desire, but because “she” is a woman. And men about
town, don’t let the cynics fool you about a girl taking such things for
granted. Women remember the little things—women are such creatures!

Let's Leave It All to Carfield.
“Hi, babe, goin’ my way’’?
“You ain’t huh! Oke babe, but don’t say' I didn’t give you the

guy' of the American screen, with the perpetual chip on his shoulder for
the law and for society. All Garfield has to have women weeping lor him,
young girls sighing for him, is to turn up his coat collar, slink in and out
of dark alleys, and say “yeah’’ out of the side of his mouth. Poor lad, he
never had a chance. He’s really' “soft’’ underneath his tough veneer. All
very well, in the movies, I assure you, but you try' it on some of your
friends in our every day world. You'll be politely and discreetly dropped.
We all make the same slips---- and a little thought would overcome
them too. Count them all on your fingers. “Yeah” for “yes”. “O.K.”
for “all right”, “sure” for “yes” or “certainly’’, “kid” for 'child , gets
my goat” for "annoys me”, “It’s up to you” for “it’s for you to decide”,
and “I don’t get you” for “I don’t understand you”.
And haven’t you noticed the meaningless phrases which creep
into Nisei small talk. Interspersing such phrases as “and everything”,
“just like that”. “you know”, where their use is absolutely senseless,
detracts from personality.
Listen to this one. “I thought I’d get a car . . . you know . . .
and so I called up the man . . . you know . . . and what do you know?
you know. ... he said I couldn’t get a reduction . . . you know
. .” By' this time the listener is saying “you know ’ too, much to his
disgust.
And among the common errors of grammar are the following:
I
seen you down town” for “I saw you down town”, “Was you at the
movies”? for "Were you at the movies”?, “Who* do you want’?
for "Whom do you want”?, and "Who done that job for Who did
that job”.
One may possess daintiness, a certain charm of manner, but without
faultless, slangless speech, such qualities become obscured. The way one
speaks, the manner in which one uses the English vocabulary, tells more
eloquently than anything else as to your background, your education (or
the lack of it) and your environment.
Let’s leave John Garfield the slang, and make use of the English
language. It’s really a beautiful language. And it’s one sure way to
charm!

Moulders, she came into the shop. And so we became friends, more than
just friends . . • two people in tune in a big city, an infinitesimal part
of a hurrying, scurrying, fighting, scratching world.
I
She was such a peculiar individual, child-like in her honesty, yet
I woman-like in wisdom. With me she was as frank as a child. At times
h wondered if she were too wise, for all the men followed her. but they
I found her archly distant. Like a candle cool she was, so friendly, yet when
[ they reached for her heart, it evaded them.
But there was a reason. She told me of her mother, and of her plans
for her. There was a doctor with a practice back home. There was the
1 boy she had grown up with. There was the up-and-coming young busif ness executive. -But she would have none of them.. I was worried for her
^ke. for rumours are not kind to a girl. There in the gathering dusk,
with the lamplight falling on her hair, and reflecting in her wide-apart
eyes, she said that some day she would know, and then she would go,
wherever he went, wherever he led.
i
■
I was afraid for her. She was like a bird poised for flight, with her
■ face always against something turbulent. For her, there seemed to be no
■ half-measures. She was intense. At times I suppressed the desire to clip
■ her wings, but then, what happiness or wonder is there in a bird with
■ dipped wings?
■
He whistled sooner than I expected. She came to me one day. not
■ exuberantly and playfully as she was wont to do, to tell me of her latest
B escapade, but with a shy, half-breathless look about her, to tell me about
■ him. In her eyes her soul was a naked, quivering thing. I had to turn
B 2way.
B
If I could have spoken . . . but I could not. Events passed swirtiy.
■ Summer slipped into Autumn. I had almost resigned myself to the definite
■ fact that he was a part of Midori s life.
S
One night she wanted me to go out with her. No words were needed
K to tell me what had happened. I do not think she realized how far we
I walked that night. , I did not either, until I saw how worn my heels
■ were. She didn’t cry . . . but I saw the turmoil that was raging within
I her in the depths of her eyes, in the clenching and unclenching of her
K fingers.
K
When dawn broke over the city, all she said was Let s go home,
i It’s all over now. When it's gone, it’s gone, isn t it ? I could not
I answer.
E
And more and more she leaned on me. If she ever saw him again,
E she never mentioned it. We tried to do things we used to do . . . gay
E little innocent escapades, smorgasbord by candlelight, waltzing the dawn
E in, listening to gypsy talk.
But some of the vitality' that was Midori went with him. I think.
I I hated him for it. She was so much quieter now. At times she talks of
i security . . . and laughed at her own once-living dreams. And like the
B sting of autumn’s first frost, her sharp laughter made the chill creep into
E my heart. She was afraid ... a thing she had never known before . . .
| afraid of herself . . . afraid of her future ... of the years ahead. She

Little by little we drifted apart. The break was slow, almost inperi teptible, that I never dreamed that it was coming. Sometimes, though, I

I I told myself.
I
I was with her when the break came. She wanted to go out. She
| was restless. Then, there on the street, we met Kenji Kimura, and at the
I sight of Midori, he came striding across the street, his eyes upon the gay
I red ribband I had coaxed into her hair, his face one scowl of disapproval.
I
I think he noticed me for the first time. This was the man, the

By CINDERELLA
Man’s lift is a series of repetitions.
Of most of these he is quite uncon
scious.
As an embryo forming in
his mother's womb, for instance, he
assumes shapes representative of suc
cessive phases in the evolution of the
whole race of man. Thus at one stage
he will have gill-slits, and at another,
a tail. It is when he has recapitulated
in his own tiny body the whole de
velopment of his kind that he emerges
into the light of day.
Embarked upon individual exist
ence. he again repeats certain patterns
that biology has imposed on the life
of our species. Like every' man who
has lived before him. he passes suc
cessively from mewling infancy,
through childhood, adolescence, ma
turity. middle-age. and on to senes
cence and death. Then,- too, environ
ment sets him certain cultural and
social patterns to follow, and unless
he is out of the ordinary he will
spend his life doing pretty much the
same things that previous occupants
of his particular milieu did. He is
allowed a certain leeway in the choice
of an actual occupation, but you
probably find that an Eskimo’s mind
runs more on seal-hunting than on
stock-market speculation.
There are further repetitions of a
less general sort. Man, in his own
individual lifetime, will repeat him
self—that is, he will go through
certain phases of his intellectual and
spiritual development more than once.
The most obvious instance of this
is associated with the period when a
man falls in love bard for the first
time.
Up to that point, as boy,
adolescent and youth, he has been
building up a fund of worldly knowl
edge of which he is inordinately' vain.
His mooncalf days are past and his
once dewy idealism is more tempered
to what he considers the realities of
life.
He abominates sentimentality
of every kind and makes it a point to
groan audibly' when he encounters ex
amples of it in print, on the screen,
or in everyday life. If he is a par
ticularly precocious specimen, he pub
licly' advertises himself as an outright
skeptic or cynic.
Then some pert little chit of a
girl ensnares him. Back he goes to
the stage he had left ostensibly' years
ago. All his vaunted hardness dis
solves in a rosy halation, and his crit
ical faculties arc' left with no more
edge than a slab of gelatin dessert.
The object of his devotion may
be the silliest goose in the world,
with more health than brains; but
to him she is a fount of all that is
witty' and significant. He himself is
in such a state of mental retrogression
that he begins to find strange hidden
meanings in those very banalities of
endearment he once thought intoler
ably idiotic.
The degeneration is
complete when he no longer finds the
rhyming of “June’ and moon of
fensive.
If he stays in lov'e, he may succeed
in living out his allotted span of
years in a somewhat diminished con
tinuation of the original roseate glow.
If he falls out of love, he soon re
covers his earlier bravado and knowl
edge-able mien, and soon continues
on his reckless way until he falls in
love a second time. And the whole
pathetic spectacle of mental dissolu
tion is repeated.
—TARO KATAYAMA
Women Are Such Creatures.
At last the business meeting was over and five boys and a girl were
ready to go home and to bed. It was midnight. The girl had to walk
several blocks to catch a street car for home. She put on her hat, her
coat and picked up her purse.
“Well, so long, boys. I have to be going’’!
“Good bye” I
“Go straight home, now’’!
“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do’’!
The door closed. She went out into the night, alone. Oh! Oh!
Boys! How could you! What’s the matter with you all? Quick, get
your hat and run after her—take her to the street car line. Of course,
nothing is likely' to happen to her—she’s gone home alone many a time
before this. But surely, it won’t kill you--- and it is the courteous thing
to do.------------------------------------------------------------ "
Walk her to the street car line, see that she gets on safely—it won’t
cost you a cent—and it makes her feel like a queen—like somebody' precious
and important—not as someone to be taken for granted.
That’s all very' well, but she'll expect this sort of thing all the time,
and what if she lives in the east end and you in the west end, you ask.
Don’t worry. The thoughtful girl will co-operate. If she lives in the
other end of town, she’ll make sure she’ll not miss the last street car.
It’s the little acts of common courtesy' which endear men and boys to
the girls. Brawn, height, intelligence, good looks, are assets, to be sure,
but it is the little attentive gesture, the little thoughtful things which
men do for them that linger in the mind like fragments of an unforgettable
melody.
And gentlemen, let’s not forget the “happily' marrieds’’ in our midst.
Said one of them, half-humorously, ba If-wistfully'. “When one’s a married
woman, she has to fend for herself ’! Oh!.Oh!
A gentleman draws no lines. He is courteous, not only because “she
is his heart’s desire, but because “she” is a woman. And men about
town, don’t let the cynics fool you about a girl taking such things for
granted. Women remember the little things—women are such creatures!
* *
*
Let's Leave It All to Carfield.
“Hi, babe, goin’ my way’’?
“You ain’t huh! Oke babe, but don’t say' I didn’t give you the
chancet! What? Me go round wid those palookas yer runnin’ round
wid! Naw, not me! Don't say' I didn’t ask yer, see’’!

'Mighty Mite' Sawayama Doubles To Win Own Game in Seventh
Stop Press! Pull out that banner headline!
Asahis finally managed to down Angelus Hotel
in a nip and tuck battle that saw little Tommy
Sawayama step in to relieve tiring George
Yoshinaka, stop the threatening Angelus storm
clouds, and then step into one of Fred Yehle’s
fast ones for a two-ply to break up and win
his own ball game.
George Yoshinaka aided by the gilt-edged
support of his teammates, was getting along
nicely, yielding only 4 hts, but tired badly and
allowed too many free passes. In the fourth,
fifth and sixth, each leadoff man reached first
on a free pass and had it not been for the sup
port, the result of the game might have been
sadly reversed.
In the sixth Yoshinaka walked Williams,
the leadoff-man. Manager Yamamura thought
it was time to change so he called in Tommy
Sawayama from the bull-pen.

Asahis will be out gunning for their fifth straight Pacific Northwest
championship, when they clash with the strong Fife Nippons at Fife this
coming Sunday, August 3. The locals will cross the border to defend
their coveted crown against the challenge of a team that, this year, won
the championship of the Courier AA League for the fifth consecutive
season.
This will be the fourth time in five years that the Nippons from
Fife have faced the Asahis, the Puyallup Valley wallopers being unsuc
cessful in lifting the crown in their last three efforts in 1937, '38 and
39. In 1940, the Western Giants made an unsuccessful bid to take the
championship away from Canadian soil.
Taking the field for the Fife Nippons this Sunday will be Nobu
Yoshida, pitching, Lloyd Shimizu catching,• Atsushi Sakahara first base,
Tom Osaka second base, Isamu Ichida shortstop, Shig Takeuchi third
base, Tom Takemura left field, Yukio Kasai centre field, and Ben Yoshida
right field. Heavy hitters in this line-up are Yukio Kasai who leads the
team in hitting, Nobu Yoshida and Atsushi Sakahara. Held in reserve
will be Toru Kuramoto, Tadashi Sasaki, Masato Sasaki, Dyke Itami, Willie
Hamanishi and Peter Mello. Familiar names in the above line-up are Nobu
and Ben Yoshida, Toru Kuramoto, Isamu Uchida, Yukio Kasai, Dyke

What's become of the Japanese Baseball League? ... The Jap.
anese League this year is definitely ice cold. No fight, no interest no
talk, all because there's no games. No wonder the fans lose interest
and enthusiasm.
The loop this year was conducted in the sloppiest manner. Game;
were called off and played without notice, and everytime other happen
ings took place, the once popular "yakudan" was left in the shadows to
wait for another Sunday. If ever a league lost attention and following,
it certainly was this year's Japanese League.
The league championship is still very much in the clouds, although
the finalists have been known. They might surprise us fans someday by
winding up, who knows?
There'll be no games again this Sunday because the Asahis are
journeying south of the border in defence of their Pacific Northwest title,
and on one of the following Sundays the Nippon reps make their sched
uled trip ’to Chemainus.
It looks like some time yet before we see
another Japanese League game.
No ill-wishing for the Asahis, however. The whole of Nisei sportsdom 's pulling for you to bring home the Pacific Northwest Crown for
the sixth consecutive time. Good luck, Fellas!
Don Sugiman, secretary of the Japanese League, is undoubtedly
Nihonmachi's most ardent baseball fan.__ Very seldom is he stumped by
questions about his favourite diamond game, and stored away is his
collection of clippings and letters from various big-time players... A Cin
cinnati fan, through and through, Don wrote to Bucky Walters, Cincinnati's star chucker, and this is the reply he found in the mail this week:

The Burrard League race is going into its final stretch now, with
the powerful Diethers squad almost beyond the reach of the other teams,
being three and a half games ahead of the second place Angelus nine'
For a while it looked as if the Shipbuilders would be able to overtake the
Asahis by the end of the week, but their loss to Patricias on Wednesday
and Asahis' victory over Angelus last night struck a big blow to their
chances. It will be a close battle all the way in now between Asahis and
Shipbuilders for third and final playoff spot.

Asahis will be out gunning for their fifth straight Pacific Northwest
championship, when they clash with the strong Fife Nippons at Fife this
coming Sunday, August 3. The locals will cross the border to defend
their coveted crown against the challenge of a team that, this year, won
the championship of the Courier AA League for the fifth consecutive
season.
This will be the fourth time in five years that the Nippons from
Fife have faced the Asahis, the Puyallup Valley wallopers being unsuc
cessful in lifting the crown in their last three efforts in 1937, '38 and
39. In 1940, the Western Giants made an unsuccessful bid to take the
championship away from Canadian soil.
Taking the field for the Fife Nippons this Sunday will be Nobu
Yoshida, pitching, Lloyd Shimizu catching,• Atsushi Sakahara first base,
Tom Osaka second base, Isamu Ichida shortstop, Shig Takeuchi third
base, Tom Takemura left field, Yukio Kasai centre field, and Ben Yoshida
right field. Heavy hitters in this line-up are Yukio Kasai who leads the
team in hitting, Nobu Yoshida and Atsushi Sakahara. Held in reserve
will be Toru Kuramoto, Tadashi Sasaki, Masato Sasaki, Dyke Itami, Willie
Hamanishi and Peter Mello. Familiar names in the above line-up are Nobu
and Ben Yoshida, Toru Kuramoto, Isamu Uchida, Yukio Kasai, Dyke
Itami and Pete Mello, all seven being on the Nippon squad that played
the Asahis in" 1 939.
Making the jaunt to Fife to defend the championship will be manager
Roy Yamamura, Kaz Suga, Yuki Uno, Ken Kutsukake, Koei Mitsui,
I George Shishido, Mike Maruno, Frank Shiraishi, Eddie Nakamura, Naggie
Nishihara, George Yoshinaka, Tommy Sawayama and Chuck Terada, ac

What's become of the Japanese Baseball League? ... The Jap.
anese League this year is definitely ice cold. No fight, no interest no
talk, all because there's no games. No wonder the fans lose interest
and enthusiasm.
The loop this year was conducted in the sloppiest manner. Game;
were called off and played without notice, and everytime other happen
ings took place, the once popular "yakudan" was left in the shadows to
wait for another Sunday. If ever a league lost attention and following,
it certainly was this year's Japanese League.
The league championship is still very much in the clouds, although
the finalists have been known. They might surprise us fans someday by
winding up, who knows?
There'll be no games again this Sunday because the Asahis are
journeying south of the border in defence of their Pacific Northwest title,
and on one of the following Sundays the Nippon reps make their sched
uled trip ’to Chemainus.
It looks like some time yet before we see
another Japanese League game.
No ill-wishing for the Asahis, however. The whole of Nisei sportsdom 's pulling for you to bring home the Pacific Northwest Crown for
the sixth consecutive time. Good luck, Fellas!
Don Sugiman, secretary of the Japanese League, is undoubtedly
Nihonmachi's most ardent baseball fan.__ Very seldom is he stumped by
questions about his favourite diamond game, and stored away is his
collection of clippings and letters from various big-time players... A Cin
cinnati fan, through and through, Don wrote to Bucky Walters, Cincinnati's star chucker, and this is the reply he found in the mail this week:
