And Lo!—The Election

WE would be somewhat less than honest if we were not to
admit to a sense of gratification over those results of the
provincial elections that are closest to us. It is true that the
so-called “Japanese problem” did not figure largely in the
campaign, and probably the electors on the whole did not take
it into account in casting their votes. Nevertheless, we are
sufficiently sensitive to have been vastly irritated by the non­
sensical charges and policies advocated by a few of the candi­
dates. Hence’ to see each one of those who belabored the
sorely-abused “Oriental football” repudiated at the polls comes
almost in the sense of a personal victory.
*

.

■

While indifference to the election seems to have been one
of its chief features, it seems that the.second generation Japan­
ese actually followed the political battle with increased inter­
est. In spite of the fact that much less emphasis was placed
upon the Japanese question, a growing maturity and a keener
awareness of their peculiar political status manifested itself,
as far as the second generation were concerned, in heightened
interest.
That is as it should be!
For these provincial elections
come only once in four or five years. And it is the provincial
disqualification-—the fact that under the Provincial Elections
Act any individual of the Chinese, Japanese, or East Indian
race, natural-born or naturalized British subject or not, may
not register as a voter—that is basic in the whole structure of
our exclusion from public rights in this province. ,
The keener the interest we show in the elections, the more
we learn about them, the more capable and qualified we are to
take part in them—then assuredly the greater will be our
right to demand that an unjust, inexpedient, and wholly unstatesmanlike discrimination should be erased completely.

A Pioneer Passes
'THE Japanese community is grieved in the passing this week
A of another first generation pioneer immigrant, to whom
death came suddenly, bringing to an end almost fifty years of
struggle, of toil, and of service as a British Columbian.
It is perhaps fitting for us at this time, when all nature
about us prepares for winter’s sleep, that we pause a moment
in tribute to those of the first generation who are passing from
among us. For even as we acclaim the coming of age of the
second generation, each year we see and feel the larger, toll of
pioneer immigrants brought to a final resting place.
They are the pioneers, who half a century ago formed the
vanguard of the movement across the Pacific. They are the
pioneers, who, filled with the strength, the courage, the zest of
youth, led our fathers and our mothers from the simple security
of the old land to a new and strange and even hostile country.
They are the pioneers who first, with eager, straining hands
and bending backs, gathered the fish from the sea, laid the
miles of shining steel, dug deep into the black bowels of the
earth, felled the trees of the forest, cleared the farm in the
wilderness. They are the pioneers who guided our community,
who established our foundations, who sought in the way they
.thought best to establish everything that-we today should need:
It is little enough for us, even as our coming of age marks
their passing, to think on these things and to pay them their
due honour.

A Subscriber's Sad Story

In the Arapahoe (Nebraska) Pioneer, December 26, 1879,
appeared the following sad tale of the man who didn’t keep
up with the world:
■
“A certain man got mad at the editor and stopped his
paper. The next week he sold his corn at four cents below the
market price; then his property was sold for taxes because he
didn’t read the sheriff’s sales; he lost $10 betting on Mollie
McCarthy 10-days after another horse had won the race; he
was arrested and fined $8 for going hunting on Sunday; and
he paid $300 for a lot of forged notes that had been advertised
two weeks and the public warned not to negotiate them.
“He then paid a big negro with a foot like a derrick to
kick him all the way to the newspaper office, where he paid
four years’ subscription in advance, and made the editor sign
an agreement to knock him down and rob him if he ever
ordered his paper stopped again.”

LETTERS to the
EDITOR
ENTHUSIASTIC!
Editor, The New Canadian.
—Dear Sir:
An appeal from
the country, to carry on with
your articles about J.C.C.L.
activities, for in a small com­
munity such as this, where we
haven’t a unit of pur own, it is
through this paper that we
keep in contact , with all the
hard work, the progress, the
hopes that the J.C.C.L. is going
through to better the welfare
of the Nisei world.
Incidentally, the Island read­
ers, as earnest subscribers, wish
all success to “The New Cana­
dian”—-the paper that gives us
a link with other Japanese com­
munities and J.C.C.L. chapters.
It inspires us, and helps us to
follow the. road to the goal
where political attacks, prejudice and restrictions will be
erased, and where the Nisei
may play a prominent part in
the building of Canada.

FOLK FESTIVAL
Editor, The New Canadian.
—Dear Sir:
As a Nisei after
attending the Folk Festival, I
think we should all give our
thanks and congratulations to
the various people who were
responsible for the part that
the Japanese community play­
ed in it.
It was very interesting to see
the way that different people
took part. There were the old­
er ladies who gave such an interesting demonstration of
flower arrangement and the tea
ceremony.
Then there were
the little girls who performed
the Japanese dances. And then
there was the Nisei singer who
sang in Japanese. And I un­
derstand that the officials of
the Vancouver Chapter of the
J.C.CrL. were in charge of the
arrangements.
It was a very good represent­
ation from the Japanese people
in the Festival, and I was also
glad to see a good number of
Niseis there each time.

CONVENTION INTEREST
Editor, The New Canadian.
—Dear Sir: . . .1 am very
much interested in the news
about your J.C.C.L. and Y. P.
C. C. conventions, and hope
they prove fruitful to you all.

religious convictions were held, or were not held, it would ■
actually give us the answer to that question.
j

A snap judgment might well be that on the whole
Nisei are not interested in religion; and it is probably trui
that once out of childhood, the average second generation I
much more concerned over his economic, than
1
needs. Thus it is not uncommon to observe that in compaJ
with youth of every group, as the Nisei grow up they tend
’stray away from both church and temple. Among the oldel
youths, independently earning their own livelihood, the churca
or temple may often be looked down upon as a “sissified” ini
stitution. In other cases, some of the better-educated su»»el
that religious interests may indeed be somewhat childish. And
especially among the younger married couples, the “Molli
and me, and baby makes three” idea of self-sufficiency seeml

to be very wide-spread. That of course is another indication
that the religious institution looms large among the Nisei as a
social centre, as well as a place of worship.
a

a
To gain an idea of how deeply-rooted the religious sens!
among the Nisei actually is, perhaps we should go back to 1
study of the religious attitudes of their parents, and, for thal
matter, to the Japanese mind in general.
1
It is claimed among scholars that for centuries the Japan!
ese mind has had no .particularly profound interest in religion!
faith or philosophy. They point for instance to the fact that!
Japan has never been disturbed by religious strife as intenss
and overpowering as that between Catholicism and Protestant!
ism in Europe. Japanese history reveals no movement com!
parable to the Mediaeval Crusades.
The Japanese “Renais!
sance”—its transition from an isolated feudal state to a modeM
world power-followed almost purely material and cultural!
lines; and in that it differed widely from Europe, where
Reformation and Renaissance are almost inseparable. Then]
too, Japan has not produced a galaxy of thinkers and philos!
ophers comparable to such European names as Kant, Spinoza]
Goethe, Voltaire, Locke, and so forth. Indeed, if we can gen]
eralize on Japanese religion, the Japanese spiritual outlook has
been strongly pantheistic, and strongly influenced by theancient cult of ancestor worship. Under the impact of these!
two principal influences, the Buddhist religion imported from
China and India, emerged as a peculiarly Japanese Buddhism.
This is not to suggest, of course, that the Japanese people
are wholly disinterested in religion, for nothing could be more
untrue. Support for that statement can readily be found in
the manner in which the first generation have retain­
ed Buddhist beliefs and forms of worship, as well as the prog­
ress of Christianity in this country. In fact to the younger
skeptic, the flourishing state of religious observance among a
large section of the older people who have settled in this prov­
ince may well occasion some astonishment.

VARSITY’S HEIGHT
THE WEEKLY TALLY SHEET

Ski Trails has finally found its way into our Sport's
page again. This year with the threatening early winter, the mountain­
top playground should be full of activity within another month. It s been
two years since the plankers enjoyed a real snowfall, two whole years since
there was sufficient snow to stem and sluice their way down the winding
tree-dodging Kandahar Trail into the Village. Yes, it looks like a big
year for the Fuji Ski Club. Let's hope 'Jeep' Inamoto defends his North­
west title successfully.
TABLE TENNIS.—The four new plywood table tennis tables are
nearing completion and should be painted and ready for play by Sunday,
says director Bing Tanaka. The exact setup of the league will be known
this Sunday when a meeting is held at their new headquarters.
All league players are asked to attend when the club officially opens
at 2:00 p.m. Bring your paddies and try out the new tables.
The appearance of a ladies' league is pretty much in evidence.
Fairview, Meiwa Gakuen and Hompa are the likely starters.
G.V.A.A. BADMINTON . . . will continue again this year. This
decision was made last Wednesday night when the bigwigs of the local
shuttle league gathered together at Ernie's to discuss the possibility of a
city entry. Lucy Fujimagari, much publicized shuttle lassie from the
other side of the Inlet, has been wowing the shuttiers with her deftness
and smoothness in handling her racquet, and should prove to be a big
help to Strathcona in the G.V.A.A. League.
T-R-A-C-K!

WOODFIBRE vs. MAIKAWA . . . This season's first friendly ex­
hibition game with an outside team will be played against Woodfibre
either on the 1st or the l*5th of November. The Pulp and Paper Mill
boys are reputed to have a smooth working quintette, practicing two
nights a week and getting into trim for their clash-with the localites. In
past encounters, the town boys have always managed to beat the mill
workers. Always a'good game, this year's should be more hotly battled
than ever and should provide an exciting entertainment for casaba fans.

The Basketball league's opening social event will be held in
conjunction with the Woodfibre visit tentatively at the Orange
Hall. The public is cordially invited to attend.
