A Chance To Serve
TAOUBTS concerning the reception that would
be tendered a contribution from our com­
munity,to the National Red Cross Blood Donor
campaign have been set aside; and a direct
appeal is now being made to first and second
generation males between 21 and 50 to register
immediately as voluntary donors.

Perhaps the average one of us will feel
faintly uncomfortable when faced with this
unfamiliar experience. But surely we cannot
turn aside from this valuable, life-giving ser­
vice, knowing that we can do so much at so
little cost to ourselves.

Our Natural Increase
7? LWAYS interesting year after year are the
figures on births and deaths announced
by the Metropolitan Health Board for the
Vancouver area.
The Health Officer, Dr.
Stewart Murray, reports this year that the
natural increase for the Japanese Canadian
community is 12.53 per 1000, derived from a
birth rate of 20.45 and a death rate of 7.92.
Those who are still afflicted with that
familiar political mental disease, the “ahtiJapanese mania”, may find inspiration is such
figures for painful agitation or political fulmination. Particularly . since figures for all
other groups (exclusive of Chinese) shows a
comparative natural increase of only 6.15-—
or only one-half that of the Japanese Can­
adian rate.

Actually, of course, to the unprejudiced
observer, the 1941 statistics continue to furnish
evidence that the old flaming cry of “yellow
peril” was in reality nothing more than a
politicians’ bleat. The figures in fact bolster
the original argument of the Nisei spokesmen
who a decade ago declared that the rapid
natural increase (which then seemed to be
proof of the cry) was due to natural biological
factors that needed only the passing of time to
work themselves out.

Masao, was being examined and
cross-examined for life insurance.
He had been put through a severe
physical inspection, had had to
answer countless questions about
himself, his past, his ancestors, and
so on.

You know, no fast living, or doing
anything in excess?"
Masao, who was a little bit on
the apologetic side, hesitated at this
Juncture.
He thought a moment,
then reluctantly replied:

Victoria Mayor Welcomes J.C.C.L
VICTORIA.—Tribute to the way in which
the Japanese community is contributing to the
•war effort was paid here last
Sunday by
Mayor Andrew McGavin, when on behalf of
■the City of Victoria he welcomed some 100
delegates to the sixth annual conference of
■the Japanese Canadian Citizens League.
The Mayor said that he had consented to
give a welcome address on Sunday morn­
ing only once in the past three years.
But in these times, when the name “Jap­
anese” is greeted with antagonism by so
many, he had felt it all the more neces­
sary that he extend a welcome to the sec­
ond generation.
Macer Okamoto, Victoria, president, pre­
sided over the opening session, which heard
chapter reports, national council reports, and
passed principal resolutions.
Another prominent Victoria citizen struck
an inspiring note in a short address given at
the farewell banquet Monday night at the

OCTOBtR 17, ]Qq

Discussions Prove Fruitful

Crystal Gardens, Prof. E. S. Farr of Victoria
College, Liberal candidate for Oak Bay in the
present election.
Introducing the speaker, chairman Kunio
Shimizu said that he had perhaps exposed him­
self to political attack by consenting to ad­
dress the Nisei gathering.
Prof. Farr, Speaker
Prof. Farr drew a parallel for the Nisei
in these strained days, when he declared that
the best fruit always grew in the most dan­
gerous places. He said he had always been
interested in the welfare of the second, gen­
eration, and he hoped that delegates would
go home prepared, resolved to carry on their
work of laying the foundations for a better
community and a better Canada,
Some 120 young people danced to the
melodic strains of Bert Zala’s orchestra, fol­
lowing the banquet, as delegates enjoyed
the closing hours of the convention prior to
returning to their homes.
