The Word “Nisei”
With the advent of Nisei journals in the United States
and in Canada, the word “Nisei’’ has seen much use and has
been given much publicity to the "outside'’ through regular
use in articles, in stories and in the headings. It has become
so much a part of ourselves that even seeing the word in
the headings of papers other t ian Japanese Canadian or
Japanese American publications does not carry an element
of surprise.
Now, a reader in Vancouver has come up with the sug
gestion that the word “Nisei” be struck off the Japanese
Canadian vocabulary. “Nisei” is a handy term, hestates, and
it may be endeared to you. but it is time to bury it.
The reason this reader giv/s for his suggestion is stated
in a comment that the friend of the writer in eastern Cana
da made on hearing the word for’ the first time. I thought
it was a sort of a foreigner, t ic friend stated.
The word “Nisei’’..meaning second generation
conies
from two Japanese characters. "Ni” meaning two or second
and “Sei” meaning generation. No doubt it is true as the
writer states that persons on hearing the word for the first
time do wonder what the word means and its foreignestic
quality cannot be doubted, but the handiness and the accur
acy of the word cannot be argued or doubted neither.
.But it is interesting to forec.ist what the future will hold
for the word “Nisei”. Not ma ly years ago, if there had been
an Issei pres in .English, the tv wo rd would have been “Issei .
When the Sansei take our place, the word will
be
“Sansei”. In effect, the life of the word “Nisei” seems to be
only for a generation. It is still more interesting to note
that when the Nisei presents his status, he presents himself
as .Japanese Canadian, not as "Nisei”. Perhaps the word
can be best explained as a famaliar nickname that has crept
into the columns of the papers and has stayed there.
A SCHOOL PAPES^
‘ ‘Tales From Tashme’ ’
TASHME, B.C. — A neat 16page mimeographed school paper,
“Tales From Tashme” was the
product presented by the combined
literary, artistic and physical ef-'
forts of the three Grade 8 classes.
The paper contains interesting
write-ups of the three senior class
es, club news, activity news, sports
and reports on the various events
that took place in Tashme during
the last year, one item gives an
forecast of the future of Tashme
inlDGB when the population will be
according to the writer, “ten thou
sand super- babies, super children,
super women and super men.”
The outstanding section of the
“Tales” was the Literary section.
In “Tashme Town” Naomi Kato
writes:
“Tashme, one of the largest eva
cuation centres, is surrounded on
all sides by towering mountains.
Its population of 2,600 live in about
350 black tar-papered cabins, the
Japanese Apartments, the “A”
Buildings and in the Log Cabins
along “Bacon Avenue.
“We have ten avenues, and a
“Main Street” called Tashme Bou
levard. There are wash housees and
community baths, four in all to de
mind the folk that even under ab
normal conditions, cleanliness is
still next to godliness.
“Tashme has a new 50-bed hos
pital which was completed last Jan
uary. It is a beautiful building and
the' doctor and the dentist have
their offices there. And directly
across the Creek is the Staff Apart
ment, the home of the Commission
staff.
“Our civic centre, and business
district is in the heart of Tashme
town. This includes the general
store, warehouse, general office,
shoeshop, welfare office, post office,
fire hall, power plant office and the
school.”
In another section, the town of
Tashme is revealed by the students
candidly and in a proletarian man
ner.

Rose Tsuyama of Honolulu
.-in URAERS1 T.YPROFESSOR SA YS:
Nisei G-irl One of the Three
Pin-Up Queens of the Pacific
HONOLULU.. T.H.-A little 18year old Japanese American girl is
one of the three reigning* "pin-up
queens of the Pacific,” among
America’s soldiers, sailors and mar
ines stationed in the Hawaiian Is
lands, according to a United Press
report in Honolulu.
"Because a girl in the arms is
worth two pictures of Betty Grable
in the barracks, Rose Tsuyama
and her co-workers at the “Hula
Girl Picture Studio”-, Matilda Rosa
and Rose Rodrigues are the favor
ite pin-up girls” of the armed for
ces. The report states:
“For six bits to $1.25 you can
have your pictures taken with any
or all of them and hug a pretty
girl besides,” the report added, not
ing that “this latter is not small
inducement in a city which the ar
med forces outnumber the girls 150
to one, and where-if one picture is
worth a thousand words-one hug is
harder come by than 1000 pictures.”
The two Roses and Matilda work
for Frank Anderson, an entertain
ment entrepreneur from Los An
geles who also operates three or
four hundred pinball machines, a
shooting gallery, a swing band and
a Hawaiian orchestra. However his
photo studio, where servicemen can
get their pictures taken with a
pretty girl in a hula skirts or a
sarong, is the most popular of his
enterprises.
Rose, Matilda and Rose work
hula, skirted or saronged, in a 12foot enclosure, flanked by a camera
on rhe left and a canvas painting of
the beach at Waikiki on the right.
The poses themselves are decor
ous, but afeetionate. There is no
kissing, on sanitary rather than
esthetic grounds. Although her
picture adorns barrack walls and
wallets from the Solomons, to the
Aleutians, Miss Rodrig*ues suspects
photography is a secondary interest
to most of her. clients.
“They are lonesome, she says.
They jus’ wan somewan to hold.”
Miss Tsuyama, who is IS and
little, is aiding the war effort in
still another way in addition to her
work of bolstering the morale of
the men of the Pacific forces. She
is buying war bonds. She can do
this without hardships, according
to the United Press report, because
the girls average, in addition to
salaries of $50 a week, from $25 to
$60 a day in tips, which makes
them the highest paid young wo
men west—and possibly north,
south, and east—of Hollywood, in
which, by the way they have no
interest.This cavalier attitude, the report
states, is based on the theory that
trading the 150 fighting men per
day which the girls average for
one 4-F leading man is no business
at all. “Such a thought,” says Miss
Tsuyama, “is seely.”

Toronto-ites Should Disperse
TORONTO, Ontario. This mettropolis is larger than Vancouver
as befits its title as the second city
in the Dominion. It is an old city
and the streets are crowded and
dirty. My home during my short
stay in Toronto is in a district
which is very conveniently near the
business districts, but on a backstreet reminiscent of those two or
three blocks east of Granville
Street near Robson in Vancouver.
In the small miserable houses in
this neighbourhood there are usual
ly two or three families in each
house so that living here is not
very wholesome or pleasant.
There are many Japanese, mostly’
Nisei, here, and on the streets I
have met many young men whom
I knew in Vancouver.
Despite the fact that there many
job in the surrounding farming dis
tricts, the Nisei here are un
willing to
move out
of the
city
and this fact,
I think,
has the Commission authorities
worried. According to the opinion
I heard here, the best thing for the
Nisei in Toronto would be to obtain
jobs in small towns of about two
or three thousand population, of
which are many in Ontario. In
most of these places the labor
shortage is being felt and the sug
gestion is that two or three young.
Japanese Canadians go to these
towns and work. The small number
**
*
is likely to prevent a rash of dis
crimination breaking out.
For instance at a town about
70 or 80 miles away from Tor
onto there are two Japanese you
ths working for an Occidental
employer.
Their
perseverance
and their ability has so impress
ed their employer that now they
have positions comparable to
foremen over other white work
ers. With that accomplishment
they have become accepted and
well-liked members of the com
munity.
It is hard and lonely for young
men to go to a place away from
their parents, their brothers and
sisters, away from feminine com
panionship but I am sure that des_
pite these hardships, striking out
in two and threes is the wisest
course.
There is a friend of mine work
ing as a gardener twelve miles out
of this city and he has gained much
liking among the “hakujin” of this
neighbourhood so that he is con
tinually swamped with work. He
states that often he wishes that he
had two bodies instead of one. I
stayed at his place overnight and
came back very favourably im
pressed withe the clean fresh air
and the beautiful surroundings.

First to Join Labour Union
PORT ARTHUR, Ont.—It has
been five months since I came here
and I have experienced many
things during that time. What dis
tinguishes my present life from my
stay in a B. C. road canip is the
feeling of being free and the re
sulting satisfaction I get from my
work. Again pay-day which comes
at the end of the month is really
worth waiting for. In the town I
have not been subjected to any un_
pleasant incidents or discrimina
tion, in fact, the people of the city
welcome us and travelling to town
is a real pleasure.
This district has a large number
of working men and they have
many things in common with us
men from the logging camps. When
I recently joined a labor union, life
became much more interesting.
For a long time one of my mottoes
has been that a labor man should^
join a labor union. I was the first
among the Japanese in this district
to join the union and the secretary,
Mr. Bruce Magnerson, welcomed me
heartily. He is hoping that most of
the Japanese here would join and
I am trying in every way to recruit
more members.
The incentive to join the union
was given to me by Fred Kayahara who is now n the city of
Port Arthur. He is very promi
nent in union activities and his
work has made a favourable im
pression on the Occidental people
here for all Japanese. There are
not many people who have not
heard of him.

1 he Most Important Nisei Job is
Making Good Public Relations
J HE BIGGEST JOB of the Nisei
Ji America is to rectify distortions
1“ ^ attitude of the public, states
Eimei Smith, assistant, professor in
anthropology at the University of
Utah, who is a member of several
national organizations formed to
combat racial discrimination. At
the scnool he is a Nisei student
advisor.
Writing in the _ Pacific Citizen,
^F .SmiA notes that what the
Nisei is primarily interested in, is
the problem of his relation to other
Americans in this country. The
Nisei knows, better than any “out
siders -, the ways by which fortune
has changed the relations between
himself and many of the Caucausian people in his communitv.
PEOPLE HAVE PREJUDICES
In dealing with the problem of
the Nisei and public relations, the
writer continues, we must remem
ber first that the people one
meets in common life activities are.
on the whole, ignorant about all
other peoples other than those in
their own communities and inner
circle of friends. It must be re
membered too, that most people
have opinions and prejudices about
others of a different racial or ethnic
group. These opinions and preju
dices have been taken oxer from
stories and descriptions made by
other prejudiced people.
“To remember this, of course,
means that eacih person of the
opposite group—in this case, the
persons of Japanese ancestrymust act as a re-educating force
to these types of persons. What
each Nisei does in developing
good oil bad impressions on other
persons, influences not only how
he gets along in his own com
munity, but also how other Nisei
will be treated and accepted or
rejected.”
It is unfortunate, states the
writer, that many of thc Nisei do
not seem to realize this, and as a
result have had bad effects upon
other persons, no" only Nisei but
also other persons.
Mr. Smith has several advices
to give to the Nisei.
“When asked to participate in
constructive activities, Nisei should
do so and not find some weak ex
cuse. They can show that they are
able to deliver the goods and be
a constructive force in the com
munity as a whole. Nisei should, of
course, work together in such ac
tivities that they need or desire,
but they must also work with other
groups for the common good. This
may take a lot of initiative on the
part of the Nisei, but only by do
ing this can many of the negative
points; oi view of certain groups
be decreased.”
"Never before has a group of
people been given the chance to do
much m so short a time in re
educating other people’s points of
view about persons of different
ancestry. Many of the Caucasians
met in travel do not know what
persons of Japanese ancestry are
really like. This has been shown,
over and over again by countless
Nisei who have met with only
courtesy and kindly interest in.
their travelling.
Continuing with his advice, the
writer gives two points which he
regards as dangerous to any ad
equate adjustment in new com
munities.
DO NOT CONGREGATE
“Do not congregate into gangs;
do not rush to any one particular
area just because your friends are
there, and do not, if at all possible
all live in a. given-area of a com
munity.
“Do not all try to get into a
particular region because you
hear it is kind in its treatment
of the Japanese. This is one of
the best ways to decrease that
kindness. The Nisei must spread
out, integrate themselves into
the American pattern in terms
of individuals, not of groups of
persons. Each Nisei is on his
own, and by making the neces
sary adjustments as individuals,
he will aid all the Nisei.
.
“ T h ere are m a n y groups
throughout the. country that are
vitally interested in the Nisei and,
their treatment and adjustment.
These groups are interested not
only from a purely unselfish view
point but a selfish one as well.
They know that in a democracy
all persons have a stake in what
goes on in our social, economic
and political life. If one group of
people is discriminated against,
no group or person is safe from,
like discrimination.
“These groups working today
with and for thc Nisei realize
that in order for all persons to be
safe from attack, no one group of
persons must be allowed to be
the scapegoat for a group of
narrow-minded, power-drunk dem
agogues. The many-headed viper
of nazistic racial discrimination
must not be allowed to-entwine its .
slimy body around any group, or
it will soon -squeeze that group to
death and look around for another.”
In concluding, Mr. Smith des
cribes 'race’ as a very tricky
term, having no specific meaning.

many things in common with us
men from the logging camps. When
I recently joined a labor union, life
became much more interesting.
For a long time one of my mottoes
has been that a labor man should^
join a labor union. I was the first
among the Japanese in this district
to join the union and the secretary,
Mr. Bruce Magnerson, welcomed me
heartily. He is hoping that most of
the Japanese here would join and
I am trying in every way to recruit
more members.
The incentive to join the union
was given to me by Fred Kayahara who is now n the city of
Port Arthur. He is very promi
nent in union activities and his
work has made a favourable im
pression on the Occidental people
here for all Japanese. There are
not many people who have not
heard of him.

1 he Most Important Nisei Job is
Making Good Public Relations
J HE BIGGEST JOB of the Nisei
Ji America is to rectify distortions
1“ ^ attitude of the public, states
Eimei Smith, assistant, professor in
anthropology at the University of
Utah, who is a member of several
national organizations formed to
combat racial discrimination. At
the scnool he is a Nisei student
advisor.
Writing in the _ Pacific Citizen,
^F .SmiA notes that what the
Nisei is primarily interested in, is
the problem of his relation to other
Americans in this country. The
Nisei knows, better than any “out
siders -, the ways by which fortune
has changed the relations between
himself and many of the Caucausian people in his communitv.
PEOPLE HAVE PREJUDICES
In dealing with the problem of
the Nisei and public relations, the
writer continues, we must remem
ber first that the people one
meets in common life activities are.
on the whole, ignorant about all
other peoples other than those in
their own communities and inner
circle of friends. It must be re
membered too, that most people
have opinions and prejudices about
others of a different racial or ethnic
group. These opinions and preju
dices have been taken oxer from
stories and descriptions made by
other prejudiced people.
“To remember this, of course,
means that eacih person of the
opposite group—in this case, the
persons of Japanese ancestrymust act as a re-educating force
to these types of persons. What
each Nisei does in developing
good oil bad impressions on other
persons, influences not only how
he gets along in his own com
munity, but also how other Nisei
will be treated and accepted or
rejected.”
It is unfortunate, states the
writer, that many of thc Nisei do
not seem to realize this, and as a
result have had bad effects upon
other persons, no" only Nisei but
also other persons.
Mr. Smith has several advices
to give to the Nisei.
“When asked to participate in
constructive activities, Nisei should
do so and not find some weak ex
cuse. They can show that they are
able to deliver the goods and be
a constructive force in the com
munity as a whole. Nisei should, of
course, work together in such ac
tivities that they need or desire,
but they must also work with other
groups for the common good. This
may take a lot of initiative on the
part of the Nisei, but only by do
ing this can many of the negative
points; oi view of certain groups
be decreased.”
"Never before has a group of
people been given the chance to do
much m so short a time in re
educating other people’s points of
view about persons of different
ancestry. Many of the Caucasians
met in travel do not know what
persons of Japanese ancestry are
really like. This has been shown,
over and over again by countless
Nisei who have met with only
courtesy and kindly interest in.
their travelling.
Continuing with his advice, the
writer gives two points which he
regards as dangerous to any ad
equate adjustment in new com
munities.
DO NOT CONGREGATE
“Do not congregate into gangs;
do not rush to any one particular
area just because your friends are
there, and do not, if at all possible
all live in a. given-area of a com
munity.
“Do not all try to get into a
particular region because you
hear it is kind in its treatment
of the Japanese. This is one of
the best ways to decrease that
kindness. The Nisei must spread
out, integrate themselves into
the American pattern in terms
of individuals, not of groups of
persons. Each Nisei is on his
own, and by making the neces
sary adjustments as individuals,
he will aid all the Nisei.
.
“ T h ere are m a n y groups
throughout the. country that are
vitally interested in the Nisei and,
their treatment and adjustment.
These groups are interested not
only from a purely unselfish view
point but a selfish one as well.
They know that in a democracy
all persons have a stake in what
goes on in our social, economic
and political life. If one group of
people is discriminated against,
no group or person is safe from,
like discrimination.
“These groups working today
with and for thc Nisei realize
that in order for all persons to be
safe from attack, no one group of
persons must be allowed to be
the scapegoat for a group of
narrow-minded, power-drunk dem
agogues. The many-headed viper
of nazistic racial discrimination
must not be allowed to-entwine its .
slimy body around any group, or
it will soon -squeeze that group to
death and look around for another.”
In concluding, Mr. Smith des
cribes 'race’ as a very tricky
term, having no specific meaning.
