The chain of events unleashed
on a gray December dawn in 1941
has brought to us a series of fund_
amental changes such as we never
dreamed possible and the ultimate
significance of which is not vet
fully realized. It was folly to
assume that it ended with the
evacuation. It was folly to assume
that it ended with attainment of
crude rudiments of life in the in
terior. It is folly to assume that
it will end with “relocation” in
which the evacuees are being given
the opportunity to establish, such
as they may be able, a semblance
of normal life. For trials of im
mediate adjustments and still more
uncertain periods of post-war
years, when the domestic economy
of country itself will have a reaajusiment period of its own, .lie
ominously ahead. It cannot be said
to be complete until the relocees
have successfully survived these
tests, and have been enabled to pur
sue their normal calling, and to
integrate into social and economic
life of the community.

The chain of events unleashed
on a gray December dawn in 1941
has brought to us a series of fund_
amental changes such as we never
dreamed possible and the ultimate
significance of which is not vet
fully realized. It was folly to
assume that it ended with the
evacuation. It was folly to assume
that it ended with attainment of
crude rudiments of life in the in
terior. It is folly to assume that
it will end with “relocation” in
which the evacuees are being given
the opportunity to establish, such
as they may be able, a semblance
of normal life. For trials of im
mediate adjustments and still more
uncertain periods of post-war
years, when the domestic economy
of country itself will have a reaajusiment period of its own, .lie
ominously ahead. It cannot be said
to be complete until the relocees
have successfully survived these
tests, and have been enabled to pur
sue their normal calling, and to
integrate into social and economic
life of the community.

away from the community of their
own will be those o? continuous
adjustments to the changing cir
cumstances. There is no reason to
believe that we will fail to do so;
given time and opportunities, we
should one day find evacuees scat
tered in small numbers through
out the various provinces in a life
of useful community participation.
It is not a problem of our relocees alone, because much will
depend on the attitude of the
people who have received them. It
will also be a test of principle for
which this country has gone to
war. For if democracy must sur
vive it surely must survive in a
country which has sent its valiant
sons lest it should die elsewhere
in the world.
® Mr. and Mrs. S. Muraki, who
have been in the employ of Mrs.
J. E. Day, 62 Elm Avenue, Tor

own line of work in that city, and
they would recommend the home
of Mr. and Mrs. Day to any couple

MONG the dubious advantages of
being a newspaperman, perhaps there
is none more highly prized than the
good fortune of keeping in friendly
touch -with so many readers. So it is
that at Christmas tide we do feel privileged
to be able to send our personal greetings along
with every copy of this Christmas number of
The New Canadian. Some three thousand
copies will make their way far across the
broad Dominion—from sea to sea. They will
go into homes and households and bunkhouses
and lonely rooms in all and more of the three
hundred cities, towns, ’ camps and villages
which make up the tall candles flickering the
seasons greetings in Japanese ideographs.
The material published in this issue has
come chiefly from young, untried writers, out
of their own personal experiences. As such,
the editor thinks, that what it may lack in
fluency, of style or maturity, is more than
offset in interest by the sincerity of very
young minds, deeply stirred by the great
changes in 'their lives. Something of the same
might be said of the Japanese section, too,
which is characterized by a theme of the
reaction of older- and more settled minds to
an even more violent upheaval. It is perhaps
our happiest thought that this issue will
provide' some interesting reading for a large
host of the older generation.
With our limited facilities and isolation,
this Christmas number has ’been a labor of
much love, keeping the staff working- till late
at night for the better part of a month.
Though far from being a typographical
masterpiece, we send it to you not -without
pride, and certainly in the sincere hope that
it will bring you all moments of pleasure to
make your Christmas happier.

THE NE W CANADIAN
re
Hew year ®reefings
To those proud souls who chose hardship and independence in the prairies.
Dear Dad and Mom,
^tlk-n-SCitia
This is our second Christmas
since we left our home in mild
B. C. We have spent twenty mon
ths in this harsh new land where
summer passes like a quick hot
breath, ■ where spring and fall are
just memories, and where winter
reigns cold and stern for six mon
ths of the year. Yet, you did not
complain.
V
You came here to Manitoba in
stead of Alberta where your
friends were going because your
children, like rash youths, prefer
red adventure to the shelter of
known people. You made me feel
proud and responsible when you
consulted us on the choice of place.
Most of my friends followed their
parents bitterly to Alberta.
Calgary, Alta.

Like everyone else, yom made
bitter comments on the handling
of the evacuation. You were sick
with indecision during those weeks
when a farmer’s status changed
daily. You believed the wild ru
mours that grapevined from Van
couver and feared for all of yours.
When rural evacuation became
more than just speculations you
were so different from those others
who were saying, “We are being
forced to move, why should we go
into hardship and insecurity when
we can sit. and have the govern
ment look after us.” No, you took
the chance on independence even
with the unknown. So you left the
blossoming strawberry fields, the
half ton Chev., our comfortable
new house, and other signs of good
living which represented twentythree years of sweat and heart
aches. Even I had to resolutely
turn myself to the future against
that picture of the boarded-up
house with the blooming cherry
tree besides it. We were going,
united, to a new world.
You tried to hide your tears
from us as the train pulled out
and B. C. gave her best farewell
of warm April rain. Evening dark
ness mercifully hid the 'familiar
pastures, orchards, and deep green
forests. We were too occupied with
the future to share your grief for
an era that had abruptly passed
for all of us.
Winnipeg, and our worries are
over, you thought. Our troubles
had just begun. In many cases, the
“homes” "were still plans in blue
prints. You had not believed com
pletely in the roseate picture the
recruiting agent presented but
neither did you expect to live in
a. succession of wagon, chicken
coop and a makeshift shed in the
rain for. well over two months.
Some of your friends were worse
off. You had forgotten about kero
sene lamps and carrying water
from a pond, but they were re-introduced to you as primitive as
forty years ago. The endless bleak
flat prairie made us long for the
rolling hills and snowy crests
shadowing our lush valley.
Then beet work began. You
thought you knew all about farm
ing and work but you learned
more. Y’ou thinned on your knees

until they were calloused from the
chunky soil. Y’our back felt per
manently bent.
Y’ou fought the wild oats through
the sweltering heat made unbear
able by flies and mosquitoes. At
night you tried to rest in a. 14 x
24 foot shack that housed seven.
Had it not been for the native
farmers, all this, may have broken
us. You, a hospitable Japanese,
learned the true prairie hospitality
from these people whose English
was more broken than yours. The
community of 'Czechs, Germans,
French, and Ukrainians accepted
you as one of them. They, too, had
left a part of their hearts behind
in the rolling Bavarian hills or on
the mild plains of the Dnieper
where early in the spring scented
violets grow wild in hidden shades.
You ail had one thing in common,
the love of land and of growing
things,—the love that' endures
through drought and flood, through
depression and boom-time. You
discussed the weather and became
one of them.
.•
. .a
With a farmer’s pride you saw
those half mile rows of growing
green, and you turned away to try
to supplement the insufficient beet
wages.
The grain fields were beckoning
in the late August sun with yellow
ing heads. Work was plentiful in
some regions and scarce in others.
Y’ou learned to thrash and stook

To those proud souls who chose hardship and independence in the prairies.
Dear Dad and Mom,
^tlk-n-SCitia
This is our second Christmas
since we left our home in mild
B. C. We have spent twenty mon
ths in this harsh new land where
summer passes like a quick hot
breath, ■ where spring and fall are
just memories, and where winter
reigns cold and stern for six mon
ths of the year. Yet, you did not
complain.
V
You came here to Manitoba in
stead of Alberta where your
friends were going because your
children, like rash youths, prefer
red adventure to the shelter of
known people. You made me feel
proud and responsible when you
consulted us on the choice of place.
Most of my friends followed their
parents bitterly to Alberta.

Like everyone else, yom made
bitter comments on the handling
of the evacuation. You were sick
with indecision during those weeks
when a farmer’s status changed
daily. You believed the wild ru
mours that grapevined from Van
couver and feared for all of yours.
When rural evacuation became
more than just speculations you
were so different from those others
who were saying, “We are being
forced to move, why should we go
into hardship and insecurity when
we can sit. and have the govern
ment look after us.” No, you took
the chance on independence even
with the unknown. So you left the
blossoming strawberry fields, the
half ton Chev., our comfortable
new house, and other signs of good
living which represented twentythree years of sweat and heart
aches. Even I had to resolutely
turn myself to the future against
that picture of the boarded-up
house with the blooming cherry
tree besides it. We were going,
united, to a new world.
You tried to hide your tears
from us as the train pulled out
and B. C. gave her best farewell
of warm April rain. Evening dark
ness mercifully hid the 'familiar
pastures, orchards, and deep green
forests. We were too occupied with
the future to share your grief for
an era that had abruptly passed
for all of us.
Winnipeg, and our worries are
over, you thought. Our troubles
had just begun. In many cases, the
“homes” "were still plans in blue
prints. You had not believed com
pletely in the roseate picture the
recruiting agent presented but
neither did you expect to live in
a. succession of wagon, chicken
coop and a makeshift shed in the
rain for. well over two months.
Some of your friends were worse
off. You had forgotten about kero
sene lamps and carrying water
from a pond, but they were re-introduced to you as primitive as
forty years ago. The endless bleak
flat prairie made us long for the
rolling hills and snowy crests
shadowing our lush valley.
Then beet work began. You
thought you knew all about farm
ing and work but you learned
more. Y’ou thinned on your knees

until they were calloused from the
chunky soil. Y’our back felt per
manently bent.
Y’ou fought the wild oats through
the sweltering heat made unbear
able by flies and mosquitoes. At
night you tried to rest in a. 14 x
24 foot shack that housed seven.
Had it not been for the native
farmers, all this, may have broken
us. You, a hospitable Japanese,
learned the true prairie hospitality
from these people whose English
was more broken than yours. The
community of 'Czechs, Germans,
French, and Ukrainians accepted
you as one of them. They, too, had
left a part of their hearts behind
in the rolling Bavarian hills or on
the mild plains of the Dnieper
where early in the spring scented
violets grow wild in hidden shades.
You ail had one thing in common,
the love of land and of growing
things,—the love that' endures
through drought and flood, through
depression and boom-time. You
discussed the weather and became
one of them.
.•
. .a
With a farmer’s pride you saw
those half mile rows of growing
green, and you turned away to try
to supplement the insufficient beet
wages.
The grain fields were beckoning
in the late August sun with yellow
ing heads. Work was plentiful in
some regions and scarce in others.
Y’ou learned to thrash and stook
and felt the itch of the grain dust
drive you nearly mad. For one
month you helped harvest a record
grain crop, and then beet topping
started.

■ IV E ARE NOW entering the
, ’ ’ third year of our abnormal
.wartime living. Little did we ima.gine on that darkening day7 two
years ago when war started on the
-Pacific that the onsweeping forces
of world power politics would
mean a radical change in our

might happen to the great mass of

Looking baA on our experience
of rhe past two years, I am forced
to wonder how we were able to
face the matter at that time with
such calmness. We did know that
' that the living of the Oriental
■ 'minorities on the Pacific Coast had
always been manifestly precarious
‘ and on the fringe of the economic
— 0 —
margin, and always subject to poli
tical onslaughts from various pres
sure groups. Although we knew
this we'hsld with a tenacity found
in religious orders to our belief .in
the strength of the democratic tra
dition amongst most of the people.
This faith was strengthened by the
goodwill and confidence which we
had experienced amongst ; our
friends of the general Canadian
population. In addition various
Government Committees had given
us a “clean bill of health” and
shown genuine concern in this diffi
cult problem. The forthright state
ments of these committees and of
the Prime Minister himself acted
as a definite stabilizing influence.
The statement to the press by the
head of the West Coast Defence
. Command gave assurance that the
matter was well in hand.
But at that time there was one
thing we had not included in our
calculations. We had unfortunately7
under-estimated the strength of
the historical antagonisms present
in race relations in British Colum
bia. We had not counted on the
paralyzing effect of mass fear,
which would force persons to want
to go the limit to protect them
selves without consideration of its
necessity7 or justice.
Very quickly7 these forces of
fear and antagonism were consoli
dated and implemented a concerted
strategy, turning their combined
forces on tlie Provincial and Dom
inion Governments. The Provincial
Government, being close to the
scene of operations, was a willinglistener; and after delayed action
the Dominion Government was
quick to see the political hazards
involved in non-compliance. There

face the matter at that time with
such calmness. We did know that

tical onslaughts from various pres
sure groups. Although we knew
this we'hsld with a tenacity found
in religious orders to our belief .in
the strength of the democratic tra
dition amongst most of the people.
This faith was strengthened by the
goodwill and confidence which we
had experienced amongst ; our
friends of the general Canadian
population. In addition various
Government Committees had given
us a “clean bill of health” and
shown genuine concern in this diffi
cult problem. The forthright state
ments of these committees and of
the Prime Minister himself acted
as a definite stabilizing influence.
The statement to the press by the
head of the West Coast Defence
. Command gave assurance that the
matter was well in hand.
But at that time there was one
thing we had not included in our
calculations. We had unfortunately7
under-estimated the strength of
the historical antagonisms present
in race relations in British Colum
bia. We had not counted on the
paralyzing effect of mass fear,
which would force persons to want
to go the limit to protect them
selves without consideration of its
necessity7 or justice.
Very quickly7 these forces of
fear and antagonism were consoli

strategy, turning their combined

John Humperdink, watchmakerastronomer, had finished telling the
beautiful story of the birth, of
Christ, and how a star had guided
the Three Wise Meri to Bethlehem,
to his curly-headed son. The lad
had listened attentively silent, and
when Old John had finished, the
lad had asked a curious question.
“What happened,” the boy in
quired, “What happened to that
beautiful, bright star on Christmas
Day?”
Father John Humperdink had
thought it over, and thought it
over. What had happened to that
Star? Was it still cruising the
heavens in some grand, celestial
orbit? Where was it now?
John Humperdink had gone to
peer through his telescope imme

nothing portentous was visible in

deeply religious man, he fully7 be

it became a part of his son’s blood.
Or so it seemed, for although the
Humperdinks migrated to America,
the Star remained in their minds,

Charles Humperdink, struggling
for a living in a little interior vil
lage, sitting at his desk over
papers, bound by red tape, was
happy to come home and point his
telescope at the skies. The bound
less heavens were his.
v The war came and touched
Charles Humperdink personally7 at
once. It took away his telescope.
The war demanded lenses, and
good ones were needed, so Charles
lent his to the Government and the
loss left the empty telescope in his
room pointing aimlessly at the
skies. Then, more was demanded
of him when into his district the
evacuated Japanese came. Charles
accepted them as part of his war
effort. They were not friends but
most certainly they7 were not
enemies. He looked at the new in
flux and likened their movement
to the sudden cataclysmic changes
in the universe which sudden and
great explosions in the sky some
times wrought. Complete upheaval,
complete uprooting, he knew; and
he sympathized.
When his little son, Garry,
found a friend in Hanako, a little
Japanese girl who lived down the
street in an old house, where three
families were quartered, Charles
was quite pleased. Garry7 had now,

Hanako’s crowded house could not
have a stupendous tree with tinsel
and holly7 and colorful lights.
A ND IT WAS Christmas Eve
-Cl tonight. The great Tree ;n the
corner was shedding a soft crim
son, green and blue over the rugs.
Charles sighed as he turned his
chair to the cracking fireplace, his
mind lulled by the cozy atmos
phere. In her chair by the fire, his
wife was knitting, her fingers
moving steadily and surely7. Behind
him, his son, Garry, and little
Hanako were busy playing with
last year’s toys grouped under the
Christmas tree. Charles thought
that this year he would not go
up to the rooftop telescope for
there was no telescope; and even
if he did gaze at the skies the
sight would, be the same. There
would be the same constellations
journeying, across the sky in
sparkling company; the grand soli
tary travellers swinging their way
—all governed by immutable law.
Charles Humperdink, knew that he
■was a minute being standing on
earth, which itself was a micro
scopic fragment of a grain of sand
in a) vast inconceivable universe;
and realized that this was some
thing that he could gaze at for
ever but never fully understand.
He had known by7 November that
no new star could hurtle through
space fast enough to swim into
human ken by Christmas. If Old
John Humperdink knew now what
modern science knew, what would
he have said? Only a miracle, a
mystery, a magical formation
could bring about a bright and
startling star for human eyes to
see; and that would not come
about. Charles wondered* too if his
son Garry would search the skies
as diligently7 as he and his fathers
before him had done. Perhaps,
Garry7 would not see the sense of
looking for something so fantastic.
Seized by a sudden sense of dis
appointment, Charles turned in his

ness in the way we carry on. Our
daily routine of work is monoto
nous and whenever we look back
on our activity of any period it
seems a deep void. But one cheer
ful note is to see the beginnings of
organized group activity which will
help to some extent to ease this
undesirable condition.
Another move which will help
us is greater participation in poli
tical activity. It may be conceded
that we are inexperienced in hand
ling the controls of state politics
and are sadly lacking in any* sense
of unified activity. Yet I believe,
now more than ever before, that
the chances of a unified political
opinion are good. Quite definitely7
we do not favour the Liberal Gov
ernment, and along with that fact
almost all of us are working men
and women, so naturally7 cannot
think of ourselves as belonging to
any other than working class parties, I would say that these political parties being themselves a
part of the economic minority is
able to sympathize with the problems of racial minorities in general
and specifically with those of the
Japanese.
To be against the kind of treat
ment we get at the present time
is not enough on our part, but we
must see the need to take positive
action in all matters which con
cern working people, under the
leadership of these political parties.
chair and thought that he would
go up to his room and look at his
beloved telescope. He noticed that
the children were talking.
Garry’s brown head was bent
over his wooden train, that had
been his Christmas gift the pre
vious year. Hanako’s black curls
were bent also. The two were
sprawling over the rug, bathed in
the warm glow of the fire and the
many Christmas lights.
“Tomorrow”, Garry was saying,
“Tomorrow is Christmas and Santa
Claus will bring us: something nice,
if we have been good boys and
girls all the time. Have you been
good ?”
Hanako’s dark head bobbed em
phatically in swift assent. Garry .
seemed reassured. “Last year,”
said Garry, “Santa brought me
this,” he pushed ahead his toy
train with pride. “What did he
bring you?”

“Where is it?” asked Garry.
Hanako hesitated because she
did not know.
Yes, where was it? Charles
thought sadly. A doll a small doll
bought . hurriedly by a woman
'frightened by the unbelievable
catastrophe of Dec. 7th 1941; a
doll given in the midst of worry
■and fear bit cherished by a little
child; then lost—who knew when?
Perhaps in the hectic packing for
evacuation, trodden, mayhap, in
the crush of the bewildered, sullen
multitude at Hastings Park, or lost
in the deep, cold snow when mov
ing from army7 tents into houses—
where was it, indeed?
Charles watched Hanako’s dark
head shake and her tiny7 shoulders
lift in a shrug for answer. Garry’s
honest face was puzzled. Suddenly
it brightened. Reaching under the
Christmas Tree, he brought out a
toy drum.
“Here,” he said, “I’ll give you

into each other’s eyes, deeply, sim.

“Starry-eyed

he looked across and met the smil

turned to climb up the stairs to his
telescope as he had done for so

climbed, then he suddenly stopped
short on the stairs with a look of
awe on his face as understanding
flooded him ..........

and came into his room, he had a
smile on his face and tears in his
eyes. Even if his lenses had been
there he would not have sat down
to peer at the skies, not because
his vision was misty but because
there was no need. Instead, Charles
Humperdink was talking out loud.
He was talking to himself, but not
only to himself, Charles was talk
ing to his father and to his father’s
father, yes, even unto Old John
Humperdink himself.
“I have found it,” Charles said
quietly, “I have found the magic,
Biblical Christmas Star. It is no
longer in the heavens, Old John,
it cannot be found there because
the star burst, so full. of joy it
was, on that first glorious Christ
mas Day. The Star burst into a
million and one tiny pieces but it
is still visible and I saw it tonight.”
.Charles lifted his voice as if to
make sure that the Humperdinks
and the world heard him. “The
Star now shines, as it has always
shone,—in the starry eyes of little
children, who are simple, who are
pure,, who are lovely, who are wait

for a living in a little interior vil
lage, sitting at his desk over
papers, bound by red tape, was
happy to come home and point his
telescope at the skies. The bound
less heavens were his.
v The war came and touched
Charles Humperdink personally7 at
once. It took away his telescope.
The war demanded lenses, and
good ones were needed, so Charles
lent his to the Government and the
loss left the empty telescope in his
room pointing aimlessly at the
skies. Then, more was demanded
of him when into his district the
evacuated Japanese came. Charles
accepted them as part of his war
effort. They were not friends but
most certainly they7 were not
enemies. He looked at the new in
flux and likened their movement
to the sudden cataclysmic changes
in the universe which sudden and
great explosions in the sky some
times wrought. Complete upheaval,
complete uprooting, he knew; and
he sympathized.
When his little son, Garry,
found a friend in Hanako, a little
Japanese girl who lived down the
street in an old house, where three
families were quartered, Charles
was quite pleased. Garry7 had now,
a charming little playmate. In fact
it was he who had suggested hav
ing Hanako over on Christmas Eve
to see the Tree. He knew that

Hanako’s crowded house could not
have a stupendous tree with tinsel
and holly7 and colorful lights.
A ND IT WAS Christmas Eve
-Cl tonight. The great Tree ;n the
corner was shedding a soft crim
son, green and blue over the rugs.
Charles sighed as he turned his
chair to the cracking fireplace, his
mind lulled by the cozy atmos
phere. In her chair by the fire, his
wife was knitting, her fingers
moving steadily and surely7. Behind
him, his son, Garry, and little
Hanako were busy playing with
last year’s toys grouped under the
Christmas tree. Charles thought
that this year he would not go
up to the rooftop telescope for
there was no telescope; and even
if he did gaze at the skies the
sight would, be the same. There
would be the same constellations
journeying, across the sky in
sparkling company; the grand soli
tary travellers swinging their way
—all governed by immutable law.
Charles Humperdink, knew that he
■was a minute being standing on
earth, which itself was a micro
scopic fragment of a grain of sand
in a) vast inconceivable universe;
and realized that this was some
thing that he could gaze at for
ever but never fully understand.
He had known by7 November that
no new star could hurtle through
space fast enough to swim into
human ken by Christmas. If Old
John Humperdink knew now what
modern science knew, what would
he have said? Only a miracle, a
mystery, a magical formation
could bring about a bright and
startling star for human eyes to
see; and that would not come
about. Charles wondered* too if his
son Garry would search the skies
as diligently7 as he and his fathers
before him had done. Perhaps,
Garry7 would not see the sense of
looking for something so fantastic.
Seized by a sudden sense of dis
appointment, Charles turned in his

ness in the way we carry on. Our
daily routine of work is monoto
nous and whenever we look back
on our activity of any period it
seems a deep void. But one cheer
ful note is to see the beginnings of
organized group activity which will
help to some extent to ease this
undesirable condition.
Another move which will help
us is greater participation in poli
tical activity. It may be conceded
that we are inexperienced in hand
ling the controls of state politics
and are sadly lacking in any* sense
of unified activity. Yet I believe,
now more than ever before, that
the chances of a unified political
opinion are good. Quite definitely7
we do not favour the Liberal Gov
ernment, and along with that fact
almost all of us are working men
and women, so naturally7 cannot
think of ourselves as belonging to
any other than working class parties, I would say that these political parties being themselves a
part of the economic minority is
able to sympathize with the problems of racial minorities in general
and specifically with those of the
Japanese.
To be against the kind of treat
ment we get at the present time
is not enough on our part, but we
must see the need to take positive
action in all matters which con
cern working people, under the
leadership of these political parties.
chair and thought that he would
go up to his room and look at his
beloved telescope. He noticed that
the children were talking.
Garry’s brown head was bent
over his wooden train, that had
been his Christmas gift the pre
vious year. Hanako’s black curls
were bent also. The two were
sprawling over the rug, bathed in
the warm glow of the fire and the
many Christmas lights.
“Tomorrow”, Garry was saying,
“Tomorrow is Christmas and Santa
Claus will bring us: something nice,
if we have been good boys and
girls all the time. Have you been
good ?”
Hanako’s dark head bobbed em
phatically in swift assent. Garry .
seemed reassured. “Last year,”
said Garry, “Santa brought me

“Where is it?” asked Garry.
Hanako hesitated because she
did not know.
Yes, where was it? Charles
thought sadly. A doll a small doll

Perhaps in the hectic packing for
evacuation, trodden, mayhap, in
the crush of the bewildered, sullen
multitude at Hastings Park, or lost
in the deep, cold snow when mov
ing from army7 tents into houses—
where was it, indeed?
Charles watched Hanako’s dark
head shake and her tiny7 shoulders
lift in a shrug for answer. Garry’s
honest face was puzzled. Suddenly
it brightened. Reaching under the
Christmas Tree, he brought out a
toy drum.
“Here,” he said, “I’ll give you

he looked across and met the smil

turned to climb up the stairs to his

climbed, then he suddenly stopped
short on the stairs with a look of
awe on his face as understanding

Humperdink was talking out loud.
He was talking to himself, but not
only to himself, Charles was talk

“I have found it,” Charles said
quietly, “I have found the magic,

the star burst, so full. of joy it

dull. No one dared to look at me,
much less dared to speak to me.
We managed to eat in uncomfort
able silence when a corporal turned
on the radio for the morning news.
When the commentator on the B.
B. C. hookup from London announ
ced the Pearl Harbour attack, I
could not bring myself to believe
that the stories written by Ameri
can and Japanese writers, of im
aginary war between the United
States and Japan, had finally emer
ged to become cold reality. “Oh no,
it couldn’t be, it mustn’t be!!” my
heart wailed.

alone. But a soldier must do his
duty, no matter what the cost nor
to whom, I moralized.
Returning to
the hut to
see if the men were uniformed
spick and span for inspection at
the church parade, I felt as though
the men were paying particular
attention to glistening the bayonet
and thumbing the blade for its cut
ting sharpness. It was a traditional
custom from the last War for the
Engineers to attend church parade
with bayonet and scabbard, since
the Germans massacred a company
of Engineers who were unarmed in
the church somewhere in France.
After church parade my troubled
mind returned to repaint and ana
lyze the morning’s incident. Thank
goodness, I had not been assigned
to any details or duties, otherwise
there would have been fireworks,
trying to direct those men, So I
had all day to myself ... to mope

TJ OURS LATER PACING to and
* * fro, I found myself with a jum
ble of question marks hovering hea
vily over my mind. Had I made an
error in joining the Canadian
Army? What would niy Nisei
friends back home think- of me. A
traitor to the Japanese race? Or a
fool who is purely Japanese in phy
sical aspects yet trying to pass
himself off like a white Canadian ?
Should I take the incident up to an
orderly officer? Or should I handle
it personally when off duty? Or
should I resort to committing harakiri? Should I go “over the hill”
(A.W.O.L.) ? Or should I write my
woes to that poetic London lassie
and try to forgot all about it?
I went to the Naafi (Navy,
Army and Air Force Institute)
canteen where men were found
whiling away their Sunday in song
and chatter, sipping tea and munch
ing cookies. In their midst I felt
lost. A total stranger among them.
A pang of loneliness crept into my
soul, tearing a gap, an empty
feeling, that I thought must be
filled with sympathy and under
standing. Instead I kept filling my
stomach with soft drinks and
cakes, remembering my adventur
ous days on the road as a “hobo”
when gripped with sickening feel
ing that one is no longer wanted
in this world.
I overlooked supper, determined
to attend the evening church ser
vice and thought almost out loud
somewhat bitterly, “Now God, see
if you can convince me of Your
Power ... yes, me! .. a critical
and never-beheving soul, after all
You’re supposed to be running
the whole show.”
I went to the church early and
asked the organist to play “Nearer
My God to Thee” as one of the
hymns for the service. When the
minister nearby looked at me, a
rush of warmth flushed my face
from sense of guilt and bashful
ness as I was kneeling down. I was
all set to pray all by myself, silent
ly, but soon discovered that the
words completely failed me. My
mind was so confused that I did
not know what to say, what to ask
of Him. After a vain struggle of
searching for words I tried to lis

papers to the effect that Japs were
cheap labour, had low living stand_
ards, etc., etc.—were being chang
ed into something warmer and
friendlier, chiefly through our
peculiar assets, diligence, honesty
and cleanliness.
We turned the trick, just by
being ourselves; retaining the good
of our racial origin, and harmon
izing that with the ideals and fun
damentals of Canada. Before they
looked at us a very inferior class
of people, uncivilized, easy to order
around: now we were respected for
our diligence, perseverance and
ingenuity. We were accepted, not
only into Alberta, but into the
hearts of the people of Alberta.
IMPROVEMENT RAPID
After this general change in at
titude of the employers, conditions
improved rapidly. Additional rooms
were built on to existing buildings
at the employers’ expense, cisterns
were dug, where none were previously planned; and countless littie things that go to make friends
were bestowed On the Japanese
Canadian workers.
Of course, those people who are
truly just, and tolerant—their in
tegrity was evident from the out
set; but in most cases, the trans
ition from indifference to positive
friendliness found its way in just
such a manner.
If this world were inhabited
solely by people who are kind and
considerate, there would be no
trouble. But unfortunately, that is
not the case, which can be readily
seen by the treatment some of the
more unfortunate beet-workers re
ceived. They were looked upon as
slaves, and were accordingly treat,
ed as such. The employer’s pigs,
cows and granaries were much
more important -than the poor
homeless evacuees. These ill-treat
ed people endured the beet season
with bitterness in their hearts. But
through the sincere efforts of Mr.
A. E. Russell of the B. C. S. C.
many of the injustices have been
erased. Mr. Russell and the staff
of the local S. C. have done much
to make our lot as easy and devoid
of worries as possible,, and we are
very grateful to them.
After the initial operation in
the beet fields, we were free for
a couple of months, during which
time many stocked their first
sheaves, irrigated their first patch
of land, drove their first tractor,
and saw for the first time since the
dispersal some of their old friends,
exchanging addresses, directions
and views on the beet project.
After these first meetings, we
were found out where many of the
others were situated, and often
gathered together to play a game
of baseball, and to discuss plans
for social organizations In this
way, our loneliness in the vast and
sparsely populated regions of
Alberta was alleviated.
IV hen the harvest season came,
we were much higher in spirit
hymns that followed seemed - like
a moment when one is assured or
encouraged by the Listener of
one’s troubles that everything is
going to be all right.
The service being over, I was
not sure of what lead to take, yet
somehow I began to feel an inward
calm, a calmness in my head, de
void of mental load. “Aaa ... ha,
there must be something to it,
after all,” 1 was kind of convinced.
On the way ’ o the barracks I
was accompanied by the bleak
wind, the galaxy of stars that
shone brightly against" the dark
sky and the soul-satisfaction that
my slightest impulse to prayer was
recognized by Him.
At “lights out” the bugle blew
solemnly from the- distance, “The
Last Outpost” to pay tribute to
the dead and I stood rigidly at
“attention”, thinking about millions
of men who have died and millions
more who are yef to die in the con
flict to come.
HT HE NEXT MORNING I woke
■“• with unusual liveliness and
went around with, “O.K. boys! Up
and at ‘em, rise and shine!” and it
did not need force in awakening
them like on Sundays.
After breakfast as I was striding
back to my hut one of the group
of men I was accustomed to go out
with came hurrying with sympa
thetic smile, placed his hand lightly
on my shoulder and uttered briefly
in sincere tones, “Sorry Jack ...
about yesterday,” and left imme
diately. It lifted my heart up, at
last, to begin the day like that.
When the quarter dress call
went 1 strolled out to the side of
the parade with a roll call book
in my hand and to my great sur
prise walked into a chorus of
voices singing, “For he’s a jolly
good fellow .. . “And the heart
within me sparkled and then fired
away with extreme joy that I
almost felt like bursting out in
flood of tears. When the singing
ended I only managed to tremble,
“Thank you boys.” I paused mo
mentarily and thought of the lines:
“God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform.”
Before yielding to sentimentality
I nipped it in the bud by blaring
out word of command, “SQUAD,

than in the spring. We had found
our. friends, and had made new
ones, the strange surroundings
weren’t so strange anymore, and
further, we had something to look
forward to in the winter months
ahead. Movies and concerts had
been discussed and planned, dances
and parties were in the offing, and
many another enjoyable occasion
was anticipated after the topping.
So that as the beet harvest was,
with something to look forward to,
it was finished in good order.
The advent of winter did not find
us so lonely or downcast. Those
who wanted work procured jobs
through the Security Commission
in the lumber camps in the Rock
ies; some had work to do on the
farm; and the rest recuperated
comfortably beside the hot stoves
in their houses, now become homes.
The Young Peoples Organizations,
Fujinkais, and other groups, with
the popular support of the local
citizens outdid themselves in pre
paring entertainments, which made
our first winter not so desolate.
AND NOW SECOND WINTER
And now, we are having our
second winter- in Alberta. Looking
back, and comparing the now past
year with the first, I know every
one was much happier, more com
fortable and far more independent
of the help of the B. C. S. C. which
had rendered financial assistance to
those in need. Most everyone’s
grievances had been cleared. Some
obtained land from the employer
and entered into mixed farming; a
few had divorced themselves and
obtained employment in the log
ging camps and canning factories;
many were regular hired hands on
farms, while both young and elder
ly ladies found work harvesting
peas, corn and other produce on
nearby farms. Only a few ventured
east in quest of other work.
Yes, our second year in Alberta
was more pleasant than we had

dull. No one dared to look at me,
much less dared to speak to me.
We managed to eat in uncomfort
able silence when a corporal turned
on the radio for the morning news.
When the commentator on the B.
B. C. hookup from London announ
ced the Pearl Harbour attack, I
could not bring myself to believe
that the stories written by Ameri
can and Japanese writers, of im
aginary war between the United
States and Japan, had finally emer
ged to become cold reality. “Oh no,
it couldn’t be, it mustn’t be!!” my
heart wailed.
Had it not been compulsory, I
would have, foregone the church
parade
and
gone
to
church
alone. But a soldier must do his
duty, no matter what the cost nor
to whom, I moralized.
Returning to
the hut to
see if the men were uniformed
spick and span for inspection at
the church parade, I felt as though
the men were paying particular
attention to glistening the bayonet
and thumbing the blade for its cut
ting sharpness. It was a traditional
custom from the last War for the
Engineers to attend church parade
with bayonet and scabbard, since
the Germans massacred a company
of Engineers who were unarmed in
the church somewhere in France.
After church parade my troubled
mind returned to repaint and ana
lyze the morning’s incident. Thank
goodness, I had not been assigned
to any details or duties, otherwise
there would have been fireworks,
trying to direct those men, So I
had all day to myself ... to mope
and curse.
TJ OURS LATER PACING to and
* * fro, I found myself with a jum
ble of question marks hovering hea
vily over my mind. Had I made an
error in joining the Canadian
Army? What would niy Nisei
friends back home think- of me. A
traitor to the Japanese race? Or a
fool who is purely Japanese in phy
sical aspects yet trying to pass
himself off like a white Canadian ?
Should I take the incident up to an
orderly officer? Or should I handle
it personally when off duty? Or
should I resort to committing harakiri? Should I go “over the hill”
(A.W.O.L.) ? Or should I write my
woes to that poetic London lassie
and try to forgot all about it?
I went to the Naafi (Navy,
Army and Air Force Institute)
canteen where men were found
whiling away their Sunday in song
and chatter, sipping tea and munch
ing cookies. In their midst I felt
lost. A total stranger among them.
A pang of loneliness crept into my
soul, tearing a gap, an empty
feeling, that I thought must be
filled with sympathy and under
standing. Instead I kept filling my
stomach with soft drinks and
cakes, remembering my adventur
ous days on the road as a “hobo”
when gripped with sickening feel
ing that one is no longer wanted
in this world.
I overlooked supper, determined
to attend the evening church ser
vice and thought almost out loud
somewhat bitterly, “Now God, see
if you can convince me of Your
Power ... yes, me! .. a critical
and never-beheving soul, after all
You’re supposed to be running
the whole show.”
I went to the church early and
asked the organist to play “Nearer
My God to Thee” as one of the
hymns for the service. When the
minister nearby looked at me, a
rush of warmth flushed my face
from sense of guilt and bashful
ness as I was kneeling down. I was
all set to pray all by myself, silent
ly, but soon discovered that the
words completely failed me. My
mind was so confused that I did
not know what to say, what to ask
of Him. After a vain struggle of
searching for words I tried to lis

But we proved to them, that their
choice was good. Gradually their
attitudes which had' been curious

papers to the effect that Japs were
cheap labour, had low living stand_
ards, etc., etc.—were being chang
ed into something warmer and
friendlier, chiefly through our
peculiar assets, diligence, honesty
and cleanliness.
We turned the trick, just by
being ourselves; retaining the good
of our racial origin, and harmon
izing that with the ideals and fun
damentals of Canada. Before they
looked at us a very inferior class
of people, uncivilized, easy to order
around: now we were respected for
our diligence, perseverance and
ingenuity. We were accepted, not
only into Alberta, but into the
hearts of the people of Alberta.
IMPROVEMENT RAPID
After this general change in at
titude of the employers, conditions
improved rapidly. Additional rooms
were built on to existing buildings
at the employers’ expense, cisterns
were dug, where none were previously planned; and countless littie things that go to make friends
were bestowed On the Japanese
Canadian workers.
Of course, those people who are
truly just, and tolerant—their in
tegrity was evident from the out
set; but in most cases, the trans
ition from indifference to positive
friendliness found its way in just
such a manner.
If this world were inhabited
solely by people who are kind and
considerate, there would be no
trouble. But unfortunately, that is
not the case, which can be readily
seen by the treatment some of the
more unfortunate beet-workers re
ceived. They were looked upon as
slaves, and were accordingly treat,
ed as such. The employer’s pigs,
cows and granaries were much
more important -than the poor
homeless evacuees. These ill-treat
ed people endured the beet season
with bitterness in their hearts. But
through the sincere efforts of Mr.
A. E. Russell of the B. C. S. C.
many of the injustices have been
erased. Mr. Russell and the staff
of the local S. C. have done much
to make our lot as easy and devoid
of worries as possible,, and we are
very grateful to them.
After the initial operation in
the beet fields, we were free for
a couple of months, during which
time many stocked their first
sheaves, irrigated their first patch
of land, drove their first tractor,
and saw for the first time since the
dispersal some of their old friends,
exchanging addresses, directions
and views on the beet project.
After these first meetings, we
were found out where many of the
others were situated, and often
gathered together to play a game
of baseball, and to discuss plans
for social organizations In this
way, our loneliness in the vast and
sparsely populated regions of
Alberta was alleviated.
IV hen the harvest season came,
we were much higher in spirit
hymns that followed seemed - like
a moment when one is assured or
encouraged by the Listener of
one’s troubles that everything is
going to be all right.
The service being over, I was
not sure of what lead to take, yet
somehow I began to feel an inward
calm, a calmness in my head, de
void of mental load. “Aaa ... ha,
there must be something to it,
after all,” 1 was kind of convinced.
On the way ’ o the barracks I
was accompanied by the bleak
wind, the galaxy of stars that
shone brightly against" the dark
sky and the soul-satisfaction that
my slightest impulse to prayer was
recognized by Him.
At “lights out” the bugle blew
solemnly from the- distance, “The
Last Outpost” to pay tribute to
the dead and I stood rigidly at
“attention”, thinking about millions
of men who have died and millions
more who are yef to die in the con
flict to come.
HT HE NEXT MORNING I woke
■“• with unusual liveliness and
went around with, “O.K. boys! Up
and at ‘em, rise and shine!” and it
did not need force in awakening
them like on Sundays.
After breakfast as I was striding
back to my hut one of the group
of men I was accustomed to go out
with came hurrying with sympa
thetic smile, placed his hand lightly
on my shoulder and uttered briefly
in sincere tones, “Sorry Jack ...
about yesterday,” and left imme
diately. It lifted my heart up, at
last, to begin the day like that.
When the quarter dress call
went 1 strolled out to the side of
the parade with a roll call book
in my hand and to my great sur
prise walked into a chorus of
voices singing, “For he’s a jolly
good fellow .. . “And the heart
within me sparkled and then fired
away with extreme joy that I
almost felt like bursting out in
flood of tears. When the singing
ended I only managed to tremble,
“Thank you boys.” I paused mo
mentarily and thought of the lines:
“God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform.”
Before yielding to sentimentality
I nipped it in the bud by blaring
out word of command, “SQUAD,
A—T—T—E—N—TION !

than in the spring. We had found
our. friends, and had made new
ones, the strange surroundings
weren’t so strange anymore, and
further, we had something to look
forward to in the winter months
ahead. Movies and concerts had
been discussed and planned, dances
and parties were in the offing, and
many another enjoyable occasion
was anticipated after the topping.
So that as the beet harvest was,
with something to look forward to,
it was finished in good order.
The advent of winter did not find
us so lonely or downcast. Those
who wanted work procured jobs
through the Security Commission
in the lumber camps in the Rock
ies; some had work to do on the
farm; and the rest recuperated
comfortably beside the hot stoves
in their houses, now become homes.
The Young Peoples Organizations,
Fujinkais, and other groups, with
the popular support of the local
citizens outdid themselves in pre
paring entertainments, which made
our first winter not so desolate.
AND NOW SECOND WINTER
And now, we are having our
second winter- in Alberta. Looking
back, and comparing the now past
year with the first, I know every
one was much happier, more com
fortable and far more independent
of the help of the B. C. S. C. which
had rendered financial assistance to
those in need. Most everyone’s
grievances had been cleared. Some
obtained land from the employer
and entered into mixed farming; a
few had divorced themselves and
obtained employment in the log
ging camps and canning factories;
many were regular hired hands on
farms, while both young and elder
ly ladies found work harvesting
peas, corn and other produce on
nearby farms. Only a few ventured
east in quest of other work.
Yes, our second year in Alberta
was more pleasant than we had

WALK DOWN St. Catherine Street
(Granville Street of Montreal), any

night? NO! It’s just the every night
crowd seeking entertainment in one

Canada! With dimout regulations,

town—but the wartime spirit of opu

drink and be, merry, for tomorrow. . .”
attitude.
FIRST WE LUNCH
But why just talk about it—tonight
you’ll see it for yourself and in the
meantime .we’ll have lunch and see
what we can do and see to keep you
amused for the next forty eight
hours! Where to eat? Mother Martin’s
and Drury’s are both across the street
from this Windsor Station and equally
nice! I’ll take you' to the Drury’s be
cause tonight for dinner’ we’ll go to’
the Au Lutin in the French district
for a real French dinner with frog’s
legs and all! The very English atmos
phere of Drury’s in comparison to
the Continental air of Au Lutin w;ill
leave a lasting 'impression on you of

Here we are! Turn to your left
and we’ll go into the club. That
seat by the window will be nice!
, Well, what will it . be? Anything
your heart desires—scotch rye, gin,
rum or beer—Beer? Waiter—a couple
of quarts of Blackhorse and' keep it
coming! I’ve planned nothing for the
day until five tonight when we’ll meet
my wife and- your date for the
night—(who is she?—wait and see)
—at the Embassy (cocktail lounge)
in the Windsor Hotel. So till then it’s
all ours to do as we please—for me
to help you quench your thirst after
your long sojourn in the ghost towns
and camps! Here it comes! “To the
future of the Niseis in the East!”
Good, eh what! Yup! Buy them at the
corner grocer at 22 cents a quart!
SO RUNS THE NIGHT
I knew you’d enjoy a good opera
so for tomorrow night I’ve got tickets
to‘ see the “Barber of Seville” at the
St. Denis Theatre with a Metropolitan
cast of Nino Martini, Ezio Pinza and
Bidu Sayao.
But tonight—we could go to see
the Hockey game at the Forum—
Canadiens are playing Toronto and
we got the best team in the League
this year: or maybe a play at His
Majesty’s Theaters; or a leg show at
the Gayety! Probably we’ll end up in
one of the many night clubs—there’s
dozens in town and a half a dozen
right on St. Catherine St. There’s the
Esquire, El Morocco, Tic Toe to
name a few—but the best for this
week would be the El Morocco op
posite Simpson’s department store.
Is it two o’clock already , waiter ?
That means no more beer until five
tonight. Since the war they have curtailed drinking hours and staggered
them in various sections of the town!
Uptown as we call this district
around St. Catherine S ., it’s served
from twelve noon till two and from
five until their quota for the day is
gone. Downtown-St. James street dis_
trict—the financial centre of Canada
—they have different hours—opening
at noon and serving
t on till
their quota for the day is gone, which
is usually five or six o’ clock. We’ll
go down that way and see where half
the money in Canada is and at the
same time see the waterfront and
taste its beer!
Shall we go now? Waiter—my
check please and will you tell the
doorman that I would like a cab—
thank you!

—at the Embassy (cocktail lounge)
in the Windsor Hotel. So till then it’s
all ours to do as we please—for me
to help you quench your thirst after
your long sojourn in the ghost towns
and camps! Here it comes! “To the
future of the Niseis in the East!”
Good, eh what! Yup! Buy them at the
corner grocer at 22 cents a quart!
SO RUNS THE NIGHT
I knew you’d enjoy a good opera
so for tomorrow night I’ve got tickets
to‘ see the “Barber of Seville” at the
St. Denis Theatre with a Metropolitan
cast of Nino Martini, Ezio Pinza and
Bidu Sayao.
But tonight—we could go to see
the Hockey game at the Forum—
Canadiens are playing Toronto and
we got the best team in the League
this year: or maybe a play at His
Majesty’s Theaters; or a leg show at
the Gayety! Probably we’ll end up in
one of the many night clubs—there’s
dozens in town and a half a dozen
right on St. Catherine St. There’s the
Esquire, El Morocco, Tic Toe to
name a few—but the best for this
week would be the El Morocco op
posite Simpson’s department store.
Is it two o’clock already , waiter ?
That means no more beer until five
tonight. Since the war they have curtailed drinking hours and staggered
them in various sections of the town!
Uptown as we call this district
around St. Catherine S ., it’s served
from twelve noon till two and from
five until their quota for the day is
gone. Downtown-St. James street dis_
trict—the financial centre of Canada
—they have different hours—opening
at noon and serving
t on till
their quota for the day is gone, which
is usually five or six o’ clock. We’ll
go down that way and see where half
the money in Canada is and at the
same time see the waterfront and
taste its beer!
Shall we go now? Waiter—my
check please and will you tell the
doorman that I would like a cab—
thank you!

You picture a beautiful

"of palm trees where tired and
thirsty travellers stop a moment
to quench their thirst, and rest.
■ and then continue their long journey into the hot dusty desert.
I am, of course, speaking figur
atively. The Niseis are the travel—
lers whose journey has led, them
into an unknown province. Their
journey has not been easy, and a
..long road lies ahead in which all
■their courage and ambition plans
-will be put to test.
For the majority of these Niseis
.their world is a desert. The people
.around them are impersonal and
■often hostile. You do not often see
a smiling Nisei face in Toronto,
■unless you are a stranger passing
■ through. And all of them are con
stantly seeking, consciously or unconsciously, oases in their lonely
^desert.
The oases in their desert are
.quiet and restful havens where
.they can rest, and renew their
courage and inspiration. What are
• these oases in Toronto ?
LONGING FOR HOMES
First, they are the Japanese
homes. The Niseis' are longing for
home life. They need warm and
tender motherly care. They need a
warm house to come back to after
their daily work, instead of the
cold beds in bunkhouses or room
ing houses. Their socks are full of
holes, their underwear neglected
They long for a place to have a
good rest, and have homely con
versations with their parents, sis
ters, and girl friends.
It will surprise you to see some
of- the Japanese homes in Toronto,
especially on Sundays. Boys visit
homes that they don’t know, sit in
comfortable arm chairs and talk.
Sometimes they are treated to rare

swell place, and they treated me
to nihonshoku.”
So far these Japanese homes
have been too few. In many cases
they have been visited by too many
and too often, and their hosts have'
become more indifferent and less
sympathetic.
SIGN OF A CROSS
Recently the Nisei have dis
covered another’ kind of oasis—at
the sign of a cross. It is only since
the Niseiettes began to pour into
this city that boys became religious'
and started going to church. Dur
ing the services I have often won
dered how many eyes were fixed
qn Japanese girls over their hymn
books. After church I hear remarks
like, “How about a date?” “How
about going bowling on Thurs
day ?”—remarks that reminded me
faintly of churches in Vancouver.
Then there is still another kind
of oasis. The Niseis, naturally like
to have their meals with friends,
enjoying conversation, instead of
among a crowd of strangers, war
workers, and soldiers. Consequent
ly certain restaurants and grills
have become very familiar and
popular spots to Niseis in Toronto.
But such spots often have snares
for lonely, inexperienced Niseis.
The following true account from a
friend of mine will serve to illus
trate.
HE WAS A QUIET BOY
He was a quiet boy who used
to go to Church every Sunday. He
liked sports, especially baseball.
While he was in Schreiber, he saw
other boys gambling and drinking,

elementary cooking resolves itself
mainly into following printed dir
ections. To illustrate from my per
sonal experiences, I found learning
to- cook interesting and thought
that this art was , high school

isn’t it essentially the same to
heat so many grams of potassium
chlorate and manganese dioxide in
a crucible over a bunsen flame and
to catch the oxygen gas produced
by displacement of water as
to bake a mixture of a certain
amount of flour, salt, ginger, bak
ing soda, fat, molasses, and hot
water in a greased pan for about
half an hour in a moderate oven.
You will admit that the principal
steps in the two experiments for
oxygen and gingerbread are the
same—purpose, equipment
and
materials, methods, observation
and conclusion. To continue with
my personal impressions I found,
cooking an entirely satisfying en
deavour because for any work put
in, I always got something that I
could not only see and smell, like
chrysanthemums, but also taste,
enjoy and admire like the produce
from a victory garden. Further, I,
who had thought that cooking was
a very difficult art which only
those specially talented or well
accomplished could perform suc

One day after work, he felt

One night, several days later, he
was feeling disgusted since he had
lost some money at cards. And he
was reeling’ lonely. He wandered
down to the restaurant where he
saw the sanie “hakujin” girl stand

Dick is a typical example of the
thousands of Canadian-born Japa. nese faced with the problem of
adjustment to a new environment.
Multiply by thousands the prob
lem that Dick is now facing and
you have in a nutshell the dilemma
that faces the Canadian-born Japa■ nese from the Fraser River to the
St. Lawrence River.
The relocation program has
brought the question of assimila
tion again to the fore. A problem
that has . long been thought in
soluble is now being put to the
acid test. This time intermarriage
is advanced as the answer. The
future happiness of the Canadianborn Japanese rests upon the suc
cess or failure in solving this
adjustment problem. Twenty-odd
thousand pairs of eyes are focused
upon the convention-breaking few
who have already taken the fateful .
plunge. For many others with
white girl friends, to marry or not
to marry is the question.
Hitherto the theoretical side of
the question has been advanced
with great fanfare during the years
before rhe war. Intermarriage as- a
probable solution has been put
forth by various ministers preach
ing from , the pulpit, hack writers
of The New Canadian, and arm
chair pundits of the ivory tower.
The relocation program has put
into motion the ways and means
of putting these theories into
actual practice. The success or
failure of the attempt may be ac
curately measured if the people
display the same enthusiasm in
putting the theories into practice
as in formulating them.
The urge that leads many a
Canadian-born Japanese to seek
solace in intermarriage results
from an escapist attitude. Like
Dick, he wants to forget. But
what? That’s a tough question to
answer, mister. It can only be an
swered in a vaguely implicit way
—-like Dick said when we asked
him about Mariko, the girl he left
behind, “I don’t live in the past.”
Going back to the past, the re
cord of intermarriage has not been
heartening enough to encourage
the rank and file to follow the.lead
of the more enterprising members
of the group. Likewise a true
measure of its results can not be
taken owing to .its scattered oc
currence. In the years before the
war, cases of intermarriage were
so few and far between that any
news of its occurrence rated a
front-page story or drawing-room
gossip. All in all, there were not
more than fifty cases of intermar
riage in the whole of Canada.

faintly of churches in Vancouver.
Then there is still another kind
of oasis. The Niseis, naturally like
to have their meals with friends,
enjoying conversation, instead of
among a crowd of strangers, war
workers, and soldiers. Consequent
ly certain restaurants and grills
have become very familiar and
popular spots to Niseis in Toronto.
But such spots often have snares
for lonely, inexperienced Niseis.
The following true account from a
friend of mine will serve to illus
trate.
HE WAS A QUIET BOY
He was a quiet boy who used
to go to Church every Sunday. He
liked sports, especially baseball.
While he was in Schreiber, he saw
other boys gambling and drinking,

elementary cooking resolves itself
mainly into following printed dir
ections. To illustrate from my per
sonal experiences, I found learning
to- cook interesting and thought
that this art was , high school
chemistry in another form—for
isn’t it essentially the same to
heat so many grams of potassium
chlorate and manganese dioxide in
a crucible over a bunsen flame and
to catch the oxygen gas produced
by displacement of water as
to bake a mixture of a certain
amount of flour, salt, ginger, bak
ing soda, fat, molasses, and hot
water in a greased pan for about
half an hour in a moderate oven.
You will admit that the principal
steps in the two experiments for
oxygen and gingerbread are the
same—purpose, equipment
and
materials, methods, observation
and conclusion. To continue with
my personal impressions I found,
cooking an entirely satisfying en
deavour because for any work put
in, I always got something that I
could not only see and smell, like
chrysanthemums, but also taste,
enjoy and admire like the produce
from a victory garden. Further, I,
who had thought that cooking was
a very difficult art which only
those specially talented or well
accomplished could perform suc
cessfully, decided after two months’
practice that the popular belief that
but he did not take part. Later he
came to Toronto.
One day after work, he felt
tired,, but tired as he was, he did
not feel like going back to his
rooming house to spend the rest of
the evening by himself. He wand
ered downtown hoping to find
someone he knew so he could talk
—maybe about his job, and other
jobs. His job was monotonous, and
his co-workers wer - not very kind,
and he felt they were making
faces at him behind his back be
cause he was a Jap
When he reached the restaurant
he saw a Japanese boy walking’ out
with a slim, curly-haired “hakujin” girl with bright red lips. He
envied the other Japanese because
he had always wished in his heart
to have a hakujin girl friend.
One night, several days later, he
was feeling disgusted since he had
lost some money at cards. And he
was reeling’ lonely. He wandered
down to the restaurant where he
saw the sanie “hakujin” girl stand
ing outside the doors. The strange
girl smiled at him. He was thrilled
and said “Hello” unconsciously. He
went into the restaurant with the
girl. They sat down and talked and
talked.
Later the couple vanished into
the darkness of the streets. Since
then the boy has changed .........

“Maybe.”
“But what about Mariko, the girl

“I don’t live in the past.”
Dick is a typical example of the
thousands of Canadian-born Japa. nese faced with the problem of
adjustment to a new environment.
Multiply by thousands the prob
lem that Dick is now facing and
you have in a nutshell the dilemma
that faces the Canadian-born Japa■ nese from the Fraser River to the
St. Lawrence River.
The relocation program has
brought the question of assimila
tion again to the fore. A problem
that has . long been thought in
soluble is now being put to the
acid test. This time intermarriage
is advanced as the answer. The
future happiness of the Canadianborn Japanese rests upon the suc
cess or failure in solving this
adjustment problem. Twenty-odd
thousand pairs of eyes are focused
upon the convention-breaking few
who have already taken the fateful .
plunge. For many others with
white girl friends, to marry or not
to marry is the question.
Hitherto the theoretical side of
the question has been advanced
with great fanfare during the years
before rhe war. Intermarriage as- a
probable solution has been put
forth by various ministers preach
ing from , the pulpit, hack writers
of The New Canadian, and arm
chair pundits of the ivory tower.
The relocation program has put
into motion the ways and means
of putting these theories into
actual practice. The success or
failure of the attempt may be ac
curately measured if the people
display the same enthusiasm in
putting the theories into practice
as in formulating them.
The urge that leads many a
Canadian-born Japanese to seek
solace in intermarriage results
from an escapist attitude. Like
Dick, he wants to forget. But
what? That’s a tough question to
answer, mister. It can only be an
swered in a vaguely implicit way
—-like Dick said when we asked
him about Mariko, the girl he left
behind, “I don’t live in the past.”
Going back to the past, the re
cord of intermarriage has not been
heartening enough to encourage
the rank and file to follow the.lead
of the more enterprising members
of the group. Likewise a true
measure of its results can not be
taken owing to .its scattered oc
currence. In the years before the
war, cases of intermarriage were
so few and far between that any
news of its occurrence rated a
front-page story or drawing-room
gossip. All in all, there were not
more than fifty cases of intermar
riage in the whole of Canada.
