The Nisei Voter
At this distance it may be presumptuous to comment
upon the recent Ontario election and the relation of
Ontario Nisei voters to it. But the results of the ballot­
ing have created an historic situation in Ontario, which
is particularly interesting to those of us who are so vul­
nerable to political tides and politicians riding upon them.
■ The existing Liberal administration has been completely
overthrown, the Progressive Conservatives will be called
upon to form a government, and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation expect; to become the official op­
position.
Various fa
enteral into-the decision. Lhc pro­
test vote against the Provinc al Liberal administration and
its party machine and a simi ar protest against the polit­
ically allied Federal Government were counted as im­
portant. Nonetheless, in the face of the success attained
by the two parties advocating changes in government and
administration—the Progressi re Conservatives, who cam­
paigned on a lengthy platform of social reform under
private enterprise, and the C.C.F.. which urged a similar,
though more far-reaching program under a system of
public -enterprise—-it is impossible to ignore the growing
opinion seeking such social progress.

a political development such as this, combined with the
fact that for the first time most of these Canadian citizens
were able to exercise a constitutional and traditional
right, ought to keep them keenly politically conscious.

There is no question.of course, that political opin­
ions held by the Nisei are wide and diverse. The influ­
ences which have shaped or blunted their views have prob­
ably been even more complex than those affecting a ‘nor­
mal’ social group. Their economic interests, superficially
al least, were as far apart as those of the - conservative
farmer-landowner, the white-collar professional, business
and clerical group, and the industrial working class. Add­
ed to that were the reactionary influences from a large
number of the older generation, in whose minds anything
faintly pink was a destructive force: but at the same time
leftist views, favoring radicalcommunism, were not lack­
ing.

The new conditions under which the Japanese Canad­
ians moving eastward are finding themselves will affect
those political views. The majority are now likely to iden­
tify their interests more closely with the particular econ­
omic groups to which they are attached. And the effect of
evacuation has, been a levelling one. bringing to an un­
precedented degree the great majority of us into t h e
ranks of the working proletariat.

A Fighting Expression
It -would be amiss not to voice appreciation to t he
small group of Nisei evacuees in Hamiton. Ontario, who
have been the first to come in with a very substantial dona­
tion to assist property owners in their court battle to hold
on to their property.
3lost of them are young women, employed at jobs
which in wartime leaves them with no great margin for
work of tlfis kind. Nor are they personally affected, since
they are not owners themselves and have indicated their
wish and plan to settle permanently in the Fast. But they
recognize the all- important principle at stake here. Their
donations, which in numbers of individual cases have ex­
ceeded the levy contribution by owners themselves, is the
fighting expression of concern that a fundamental r i g h t
should be preserved.
The Property Owners Association expresses its thanks,
and this paper records its admiration of the Hamilton
group-whicli .has already been outstandingly successful in
establishing a good name for the Nisei in the East.

CLASS C consists of Grades 6,
7 and S together with the P. T.
teachers and the directors. We
have w o n d e rful instructors in
Miss Manning, Mr. Boltwood. Mr.
Boyes and Miss Lee. We marvel

Disapprove Statements
Editor, The New Canadian ...
In the Vancouver Daily Province
of the July 12, Mr. Ken Kitamura
of Slocan, made a statement that
has been cause for much regret
among the Japanese people. We,
the members of the Japanese Com­
mittee in Lemon Creek would also
like to voice our disapproval of his
statements.
According to the report, the
government’s action in disposing
the Japanese property on the coast,
is regarded by the evacuees as a
very fair move.! The truth of the
matter is absolutely opposite for
the Japanese people are wholly
dissatisfied and now- proceeding
with action to contest the case in
the court of law.
Mr. Kitamura stated that, life
in the interior towns is refreshing,
healthful and beneficial, particu­
larly for the younger children. Our
hastily constructed houses are
fourteen by twenty feet nine, ten
and eleven people live in them.
We might mention that following
evacuation./ the incidence of pleur­
isy. the fore-runner of tuberculosis
has risen sharply among the Jap­
anese people here in Lemon Creek.
Our committee have cried to make
the houses warmer, but - so
far have not met with any success.
Of course, the simple life which we
•are now leading has its welcome
points, but we are completely outof
touch with the ordinary world with
its progress and advancement.
Free housing, free light, and
maintenance are provided, says
Mr. Kitamura. He does not mention
the two and one-half cents per
hour deducted from the wages of
the .workers as “yachin” or house
•rent. For' our lighting we havereceived one lantern and one quart
of oil per week is allowed. Lantern
cannot be compared to electricity
and life is that much difficult and
wearisome, quite unlike the facts
stated by Mr. Kitamura.
Maintenance is granted accord­
ing to the number in the family,
but it so low7' and with the high

cost-of-living of today, it i3 ilb
sufficient for good health.
The above points from Lemon
Creek are the life in one of the
interior towns and we would like
to point it put how it differs much
from the statements so foolishly
made by Mr. Kitamura, to the Van­
couver newspaper.

Advice For “Voices”
Editor, The New- Canadian .
Here follows some comments on
your recently introduced “Nisei
Voices” series. The half dozen or
so contributions that have appeared
so far have’been interestingly writ­
ten and promises quite a future
for the column but might I sug­
gest that the Voices in their cry­
ing, pick some other subject than
“Remember When” theme that has
been in every second column ?

There has been one dog story
that had charm and a refreshing
difference and a reprint of a letter
from Hamilton that showed us
what that Eastern metropolis is
like as seen through a certain
pair of Nisei eyes.
Couldn't we have more columns
in that vein say a sugar beeter
giving us -the score on what goes
on at his farm, and his trials and
tribulation since evacuation, glimp­
se of road camp life, and general
topics like animals, music, and so
on that would show us a cross-sec­
tion of the Nisei world in Canada?
Could I suggest also that we
have some more contributions from
our Southern neighbours so that
we might have a chance to compare
our situation with their’s ?

With the talent revealed up to
now7 in the series I believe that my
suggestions could easily be worked
out and thus add more to populari­
ty of what is acknowledged by
many of us as an extraodinorily
good idea.

THE GREAT HERITAGE
The greatest heritage a man
can give his children—a faith in
he future. We like following illus­
tration of this thesis.
This father did not want That
student break the routine of study.
He did not want his son to be re­
minded too sharply of the past,
Rather, he wanted the young Nisei
to look to the future.
.

A man recently died in the cen­
tre. His sons who is attending a
mid-Western university was not
present at the funeral as might be
expected at many anothr family.
A dying wish of the man had been
fulfilled thereby.
Perhaps, the man looked deep

into the past to give his lesson to
his son. For forty years ago, he
look for a better future.

Hoeing Operations in Manitoba
LAROCHELLE, Man. — The
morning of July 7, Sunday. The
peace and the quiet of Manitoba
seem more peaceful and quite still
—even the howling of the .dogs
and the crowing of the rooster are
missed and cannot be heard. The
morning sun glows warm-heartedly
in the sky, and another summer
day has dawned upon Manitoba.
In this month of July, wheat
fields and vegetable gardens, on
a scale that cannot be imagined by
the people of British Columbia
stretch east, west, north and south,
in the beet growing industry is the
thinning. Before the summer sets
in thinning must be finished. How­
ever , this year in June with much
occasional rain, the operation has
been somewhat delayed and in

some places thinning is still been
done while in others it is just beginning.
Last year with four workers we
hoed our forty acres in nine and
half days. This year we expect that
at least twelve days will be neces­
sary. Last week during the five
days that we hoed 18 acres and
this w-eek we hope to complete the
rest of the 22 acres, but of course
we.cannot be definite until we have
seen the condition of the fields.

When we have finished hoeing,
our employer will phone the field
at the Sugar Factory and inside
of a week our cheque to the
amount of $120 for hoeing and $298
will arrive. It is a pleasant
thought.

From coast to coast

• USE! VOICES
Blow, James !!
By F. A. M.
Yard Creek. B. C.

Comes the announcer’s crisp
“Presenting rhe World’s No. 1
Trumpeter” and a rich ripe horn
blows our the opening strains of
“Ciribiribin” and,
brother a n d
sister, you and the rest of the tre­
mendous legion of Harry James
fans go wild.
Who is Harry James? He's a
son of circus folks, an ex - jazz
trumpeter (there are times that he
plays jazz now but all too seldom),
the leader of the number one band
in the land and recently t h e
spouse of luscious Betty Grable.

How does he get that-a way?
By playing stuff that people go
for. By putting forth a mixture of
salon music a la “Carnival of Ve­
nice” a al “Sleepy Lagoon” and
jitterbug- epics like “Strictly In­
strumental,” Let Me Up” and
“Flash.”
This six foot one. 27 years old
T. D. and H. successor to Glenn
Miller’s shoes as the bigg-est
money making band leader in the
land and the Chesterfield “satisfier”
is a very good trumpeter from a
long way back. His first musical
training was in circus bands head­
ed by his father. King Toot’s first
important splash in the musical
puddle was his landing a berth in
the famed Ben Pollack organiza­
tion. This band which spawned
such eminent swing men as Benny
Goodman,, Glenn Miller, Charlie
Spivak, Jack Teagarden, Bob Cros_
by and many others was the spot
where James attracted attention
with a terrific solo in a record
labelled “Deep Elm”.

Benny Goodman, just entering
the limelight as the King of
Swing, grabbed James for- a band
that had on its roster Gene Krupa,
Teddy Wilson, Ziggy Elman, Toots
Mondello and Lionel Hampton. Ex_
perts agree that the James’ trum­
pet was really at its peak in his
many featured solos in the epic
recordings of the band at that
time (1937-38) , If you want to
hear James at his swing best,
pipe records of that period like
“Sing, Sing, Sing” which has a
solo by him that eclipses all the
lush stuff• that he lets out of his
horn now all for the sake of com­
mercialism.
After a stint in the B. G. band
that made him one of the most
respected soloists in the country,
James was staked by the clarinet
king himself for a band of his
own. After some struggling and
experimenting — fan mags will
tell you' that at one time he was
in the largest debt that any band
leader ever got into, (he did make
one of his- best records, .“Two o’
Clock Jump” at that time though)
—he hit the jackpot with his version -of “You Made Me Love You”,
which you can’t say you haven’t
heard.

They tell us that Glenn Miller,
then number one band leader, pro­
phesied a year before his depart­
ure into the army that the James
aggregation would be the next to
hit the top.

With records like “Sleepy La­
goon”, “My Melancholy Bab y”,
“I Cried for You”, “Skylark”, and
“I Don’t Want to Walk Without
You”—the' last three platters with
superb vocals by the incompar­
able Helen Forest—Harry James
was a cinch to slide into the num­
ber one positioin last year.
James has so caught the public
fanqy that he can get away with
a long and trilly solo in every
record he makes without anyone
minding a bit. Only Goodman and
Artie Shaw have been able to take
a solo through a major propor­
tion of their numbers with suc­
cess. Note how you used to get
tired of Gene Krupa’s drumming

A New Strength of Mind and Body
Developing m the Alberta Nisei
By HISS H. BARTLING
The following article is written by Miss H. Bartling. Commun­
ity Worker for the Women’s Missionary Society of the United
Church in Southern Alberta. With her home in Lethbridge, Miss
Bartling has been instrumental in the organizing of the Nisei
Nisei groups at Taber .Coaldale and Picture Butte.

During- the past year 1 have
been priviliged to work and play
with a few Japanese Canadian
beet workers.

My first meeting with them
was one cold fall evening late
in October in the chilly stillness
of a small town church. Over
thirty strange, dark-haired youngmen and women had gathered
there ;ts a result of postcard in­
vitations from Rev. Mr. Collet
and myself. After some heckling
on my part, some of them man­
aged to voice their desires with
regard to the formation of a
group. “We do not want to be
serious cr to study. We want to
play. We’re tired in mind and
body. Give us recreation.” And so
it was decided the next time that
we gathered in the ministers
hospitable home and played coo­
tie, we would organize a society.
Thus began a year of friend­
ship, of fellowship, and of under­
standing. At first I thought I
was the only stranger in the lot,
but imagine my surprise when
they asked to be introduced to
one another. They had come from
every nook and corner of British
Columbia and wanted each mem­
ber to give his autobiography. I
think I enjoyed those a u t obiographies most of all since they
gave me an insight into the back­
ground of my new friends.
REAL PRAIRIE FOLKS
As the bitter cold winter
wore on and our weekly meet­
ings continued, I began to realize
more and more of what stuff
these f r lends are made o f.
When they can cycle some six
miles in thirty below weather
just to sit around a red-hot
stove in a coolish basement, and
then late in the evening ride out
again and never complain, they
are real prairie folks. Your
pririe demands ■enduranc e and
strength and the Japanese who
have come here have been called
upon to meet real hardships. In
meeting the challenge, how­
ever, a new strength of mind
and body is developing in these
Nisei and they have a genuine
desire to become a part of the
great- Canadian future.
Throughout the winter, .a num­
ber of local folks came and told
us something of the town and its
history. Then also .impromptu dis­

.at the beginning of his. band-lead­
ing career and the sickening effect
of Alvino Key’s “singing guitar”
after about three tunes.

Real hot music addicts will tell
you that Harry James is a won­
derful technician on the trumpet
(like Tommy Dorsey on the slush
pump) but he emphatically is NOT
the number one trumpeter in the
world. That distinction deserved­
ly belongs to a coloured gentleman
by the name of Louis “Satcho”
Armstrong. Then, as hot trum­
peters, Ziggy Elman' (of “And the
Angels Sing,” B.G. and T.D.), Roy
Town”, “Rocking Chair”, Krupa)
and Cootie Williams (of “Concerto
for Cootie,” Duke and B.G.) —
have much more solid horns. And
too, James has never blown like
the late great Bunny Berigan.
Some other James records of
note: “Back Beat Bogie”, “Prince
Charming”, “Dodgers Fan Dance”,
“The Devil Sat Down and Cried”,
“I’ll Get By”, “Sinner Kissed an
Angel” and “All or Nothing At
All?’
' ;

cussions on many a topic were
h e 1 d and it was during these
"b nil sessions” that we really
learned to know each other and
grew together in mind and spirit.
It was Mary who g-ave us the
finest definition of democracy
that I have ever heard. It was ‘K’
who at one qf our first meetings
said. “Now remember, no religion!”
—and it was this same “K” who
some weeks later voiced his ap­
preciation of a talk in which I befinitely stressed the. contributions
of Cristianity to mankind. The fact
that he could make this request
definitely religious, is typical of
these growing- n e w Canadians.
They are living in a Canada in
which they are taking an active
part; they are getting into steps
with the rest of the world, and so
doing, they are earning the respect
of their fellow men.

Swinging a kalsomine brush is an
art some of these ex-lumbermen,
fishermen, and berry growers had
never cultivated, yet they were
quite willing one spring- morning
to learn how to “slap on the stuff”
as they put it, and do their part in
renovating the recreation hall. In
word and in deed these young
people are showing the world that
they are true Canadians.
INTERNATIONAL CANADA
Ati another point in my wanderingsr
we had quite a time rallying tlH
young folks in an English-speaking
group, and were successful with
the boys alone. So now we h a v e
Japanese boys and white girls
forming a very fine society where
understanding and a sincere de­
sire to mold a more truly inter­
national Canada is the keynote.

If L were to make any criticism
of our prairie Japanese it would be
on the language question. I am.
speaking now of the Japanese in
the entire are,a, not of any specific
group. We owe to Canada at least
this that we learn her language,
her laws, and her customs. To
understand Canada, one must know
her language and use it at least in
all public places.

I am a Canadian by adoption and
as such, I feel free to say to you
Japanese Canadians, “Is it not
