* Investing In The Future
This is a time for plain talking.
There’s no getting away from the fact that we Japanese
Canadians haven’t had an easy time of things ever since the
war spread to the Pacific that fateful December 7.
There’s no getting away from the fact that as a result,
anti-Japanese elements in the population have become very
loud-mouth and threatening in their talks.
There’s no getting away from the fact that some of
these people will treat us one ad all as shamefully as the
Nazis have treated the Jews.
But, hard as these things may be for us to bear, impos
sible as they may seem in a democratic country, we must
not let them shake our faith in the Canadian way of life.
We will make no mistake in going out—each and every
one of us—and buying a Victory Bond.
Some may claim that in these difficult and darkened
days when our very future is uncertain it will be the height
of folly for us even to think of investing in a bond.
But this is not the case. For our purchase of a Victory
Band is an investment in the future not for ourselves but
for those who come after us. It is an investment in a Can
ada where our children and our children’s children may
enjoy the full rights and privileges of citizenship which
have been denied us.
'
Buy
Victory Bonds
1__ FOR VICTORY—Without Victory the liberty you enjoy in this
free country will be lost.
2__ FOR PROTECTION—More ships, planes, tanks, guns and shells
are needed to protect your home and family. You help to buy
these when you buy Victory Bonds.
3__ FOR ENSLAVED PEOPLE—To lift the Nazi curse from the
lands suffering from oppression, do your utmost now.
4—FOR SAFETY—Canada’s promise to return borrowed money
never has been broken. It never will be broken.

Walter Winchell told this one “on Broadway” the other
day:
' '
''
Midtown Vignette:
It actually happened the' night
before last in Lindy’s when pretty persons invaded the place
and peddled defense stamps to the public ... Seated at a
table in a corner, alone, was a fellow the stamp sellers
seemed to avoid . . . The customers stole furtive glances at
him, but tried not to embarrass him. He was not in the
least disturbed . . . Finishing his dinner, he went over to the
cashier and paid his $2 check with a new $50 bill . . .
Sweeping up the $48 change, he handed it to one of the
stamp-selling ladies, tipped his hat and went out . . . Apparently an American-born Japanese.
* * *
Just the same Spring is coming, and the Canadian
rockies in springtime are hard to beat. We remember once
leaning over the rail of a C.N. observation car west of Jas
per, and seeing a lonely outhouse, weatherbeaten, door
askew. “Vanishing America” we called it then, and yet we
may bring it back to life.
’
‘
‘
;
'
*
Still going strong, it seems, are those “gentlemen”
who are capitalizing on the fact that every person of Japan
ese origin in Canada is “on the spot” today. They appeal to
us to buy their “patriotic” goods, suggesting smoothly how
“disloyal” we are if we decline. The obvious answer that
each of us can give is to put our spare cash into war savings
and certificates, the entire proceeds of which go to carry
on the war, not merely to line the pockets of racketeers.
.
'
*
The question that everyone of us ought to ask our
selves right now and keep on asking it: Are we holding our
own end up, ferreting out any subversive elements among
us, taking a strong stand against subversive remarks and
thoughts, being vigilant ourselves in the defense of the
democracy upon which we must ourselves rely? If we are
not doing our share in the war against internal threats—
and we are best-suited to do so—then we have no right to
raise a protest against any violation of our rights.
?

When the loud clamor of the day is over
and all the diurnal tasks are done,
I fold the darkness round me as a cover,
against the blaring of tomorrow's sun.
This is my hour, filched from the hand of Time— 8
time that brooks no returning, no retreat, '
surrenders me the past, and so I climb
among the stars again with hastening feet.
Today, tomorrow, yesterday are blended,
ail time is naught to me .. . and for the rest
I now return with futile yearning ended,
and sleep again within your breast.

not let them shake our faith in the Canadian way of life.
We will make no mistake in going out—each and every
one of us—and buying a Victory Bond.
Some may claim that in these difficult and darkened
days when our very future is uncertain it will be the height
of folly for us even to think of investing in a bond.
But this is not the case. For our purchase of a Victory
Band is an investment in the future not for ourselves but
for those who come after us. It is an investment in a Can
ada where our children and our children’s children may
enjoy the full rights and privileges of citizenship which
have been denied us.
'
Buy
Victory Bonds
1__ FOR VICTORY—Without Victory the liberty you enjoy in this
free country will be lost.
2__ FOR PROTECTION—More ships, planes, tanks, guns and shells
are needed to protect your home and family. You help to buy
these when you buy Victory Bonds.
3__ FOR ENSLAVED PEOPLE—To lift the Nazi curse from the
lands suffering from oppression, do your utmost now.
4—FOR SAFETY—Canada’s promise to return borrowed money
never has been broken. It never will be broken.

Walter Winchell told this one “on Broadway” the other
day:
' '
''
Midtown Vignette:
It actually happened the' night
before last in Lindy’s when pretty persons invaded the place
and peddled defense stamps to the public ... Seated at a
table in a corner, alone, was a fellow the stamp sellers
seemed to avoid . . . The customers stole furtive glances at
him, but tried not to embarrass him. He was not in the
least disturbed . . . Finishing his dinner, he went over to the
cashier and paid his $2 check with a new $50 bill . . .
Sweeping up the $48 change, he handed it to one of the
stamp-selling ladies, tipped his hat and went out . . . Apparently an American-born Japanese.
* * *
Just the same Spring is coming, and the Canadian
rockies in springtime are hard to beat. We remember once
leaning over the rail of a C.N. observation car west of Jas
per, and seeing a lonely outhouse, weatherbeaten, door
askew. “Vanishing America” we called it then, and yet we
may bring it back to life.
’
‘
‘
;
'
*
Still going strong, it seems, are those “gentlemen”
who are capitalizing on the fact that every person of Japan
ese origin in Canada is “on the spot” today. They appeal to
us to buy their “patriotic” goods, suggesting smoothly how
“disloyal” we are if we decline. The obvious answer that
each of us can give is to put our spare cash into war savings
and certificates, the entire proceeds of which go to carry
on the war, not merely to line the pockets of racketeers.
.
'
*
The question that everyone of us ought to ask our
selves right now and keep on asking it: Are we holding our
own end up, ferreting out any subversive elements among
us, taking a strong stand against subversive remarks and
thoughts, being vigilant ourselves in the defense of the
democracy upon which we must ourselves rely? If we are
not doing our share in the war against internal threats—
and we are best-suited to do so—then we have no right to
raise a protest against any violation of our rights.
?
. ,
*
When the loud clamor of the day is over
and all the diurnal tasks are done,
I fold the darkness round me as a cover,
against the blaring of tomorrow's sun.
This is my hour, filched from the hand of Time— 8
time that brooks no returning, no retreat, '
surrenders me the past, and so I climb
among the stars again with hastening feet.
Today, tomorrow, yesterday are blended,
ail time is naught to me .. . and for the rest
I now return with futile yearning ended,
and sleep again within your breast.
Miyo Ishiwata.
