Fulfilling a Bargain in Alberta
Graphic evidence, of the progress won by Japanese
Canadian settlers in Southern Alberta in two short years
is afforded by the recent report issued by a committee of
'delegates from the various sugar beet districts.
It is a report which speaks volumes as much by
what it fails to, mention as it actually details, l or this
year urgent Questions related to the eking out of a bare
existence—of employers and employment- working con­
ditions. housing accomodation, water supplies, medical
facilities, transportation and so forth—which only a year
ago were counted as the major considerations are barely
mentioned. Instead the chief attention of the committee
was directed, according to the report, to matters related
to the living of a ‘'normal life” as that phrase is com­
monly defined by Canadian standards.
One of these matters being given particular attention
and which reflects their ability to progress, is the concern
of parents over secondary education for their children.
In the agreement between Ottawa and the Province
of Alberta, the Dominion Government agreed to con­
tribute a per capita sum for each evacuee child under the
age of la enrolled in Alberta Schools. No provision,
however, was made for children over this age, practically
all of whom wish to attend high schools. Faced with this
situation, the Lethbridge School Division, upon whom
fell the practical duty of supplying teachers, accomoda­
tion and transportation for evacuee pupils, felt obliged
last fall to levy a monthly fee of $7 upon those not cov­
ered by the federal-provincial agreement.
Evacuee parents have made the absolutely sound
claim that one of the principal considerations which led
them to undertake the heavy labor of independent liveli­
hood on the sugar .beet fields was the concrete promise of
a “normal education” fortheir children. And assuredly no
one can suggest for a moment that such an education
stops short at the elementary grades!
This, it would appear from the report, is fully re­
cognized by the authorities, but because of a division of
responsibility for the cost as between the Province and
the Dominion, the fulfillment of the promise is being
required to purchase education for their children out of
the very limited earnings they receive from their season­
al farm labors, and; their reaction to the situation is as
sharp as it is obvious. They advance the urgent plea that
the fixing of responsibility is not their concern and that
some provision be made quickly. Otherwise they ask that
restrictions upon their free movement be lifted .so that
they may if they desire seek new locations or new occu­
pations which will enable them to secure the full edu­
cation for their children that was assured them in the first
place.
At the moment it is certain that the Province which
has benefited most of all fom their labor, but which has
assumed no responsibilities in the matter at all, is not
guiltless of the. charge of niggardliness.
Both directly
and indirectly evacuee families have contributed enor
mously to the welfare of the province through their ser­
vice in the sugar beet industry. That they have upheld
their end of a bargain by dependable and capable labor,
as productive as any other citizen on the home front, ha.-,
been attested only recently by the heads of the Grower
Associations both in Alberta and Manitoba. It is a
matter of accepted justice that the other end of the barqain be fulfilled.

I got home late that night about
12. It was Tuesday just four days
after we had moved in. Pardner
■was gossiping sociably with the
landlady in the hall. Good idea,
pardner, I silently encouraged, as
I trotted up the stairway. Give her
some idea of the problems we face
and what we went through. A few
facts won’t hurt anyone . . . Peeling
off my coat I proceeded on to my
Botany 10 for which a test was
scheduled the next day.
Soon he came in. He grinned his
usual hello. Very cheerful, much
too cheerful. Wait until you hear
this, he said. The bombshell came.
We-gotta-get-out-of here .. . Getout-of-here, I echoed. Why, we just
moved in last Friday. Wha-samatter ? One of the neighbours
objects to Japs on the same street!
For the next two hours we dis­
cussed the situation. We rambled
over all conceivable subjects con­
nected with our sad case, from
racial prejudice, relocation pro­
gram, the B. C. Security Commis­
sion, the New Canadian, the so
and so neighbour and even down
to Hastings Park where Pardner
had stopped for a brief stay dur­
ing his period of infiltration east.
His account of the night-life and
the mess-hole in that amusement
centre was terribly gripping.
Our one conclusion was that
democracy was too good for this
neighbour. We had a brain-wave.
Why not go and speak to this
woman and have a heart-to-heart
talk as pardner put it. But it was
no dice. This woman is absolutely
hopeless, said the landlady. She
always has been a nosybody and
this street is a nosy one anyway.
We might state that the landlady
of 222 would have stuck by us ex­
cept that she had a little son who
was already feeling the presence
of having two Asiatics in his home.
Ho-hum . . . and this neighbour; we
might add, was a rabid church­
goer.
We started out on our hobby
again. The usual procedure is to
buy a newspaper, hunt up “Apart­
ments and Furnished Rooms” and
mark the promising ads. In our
special case, we wanted somewhere
in the southwest section of the city.
Om* first plan of attack was a
marvel of simplicity, removing
hours of walking and time. We
phoned. If the ad did not carry a
phone number we looked up the
address in the city directory, found
the name and referred back to the
telephone book. It was very mysti­
fying to some advertisers and we
might say it made them very sus­
picious of us, especially when they
came face to face with our Oriental
features. I wonder what they
thought ! Brrr ...
It was a good idea but hard on
the nickels. Hello? How much is
your room ? Six dollars per week.
Hmmm. Where is it situated? 333
on AB Street. Hmmm. What fur­
nishings have you. A description
followed. Hmmm ... We’ll be over
to see it tonight, but lady—(this
was the crucial moment) wouldn’t
you like to know about us ? A
puzzled silence. You see we’re Jap_
anese-Canadians. Japanese ! Ex­
clamation. No, Canadians, we ur­
ged. Pause. I'm afraid my other
roomers wouldn’t like it. We prefer to have Canadians here. But
we are Canadians ! Aren’t you
Japanese? No, we’re Canadians,
we insisted. I’m sorry, she ended
and it was click.

“Our Attitude To Japanese Canadians”
Editor, The New Canadian:
... I have copied a quotation
from “Canada and Christendom”
which you may find of interest.
The editor, Prof. C. R. Fielding of
Trinity College, takes a great in­
terest in the whole question, as
you know. The editor is comment­
ing on the attitude of Canadians
generally toward immigration^ and
toward Canadian groups of non­
Anglo-Saxon origin. Among other
things he says:
“Another serious race problem
which our members hope will not
be forgotten is our attitude to the
Japanese Canadians. Thousands of
these loyal citizens have been for­
cibly moved from their homes, in
many cases their property sold,
their blood refused at blood donor
clinics, their enlistment refused in
the armed forces, their wages
repressed, no future home guaran­
teed them, education denied them,
employment
denied
them,
and
threats of deportation made. Their
loyalty in face of all this should
humiliate us. Besides the injustice
apparent to all who observe it is
a serious reversal of principle
which Christians cannot accept
without protest; it is the presence
of race law on our statute books.
The Order-In-Council P. C. No.
9760 for example, dealing with
certain rights of( Canadian citizens

not in the familiar terms of British
justice but in terms of race. Civil
rights are infringed not because of
crime or disloyalty but - simply
because persons are “of the Japa­
nese race”. This is' race legislation
not in Nuremburg but in Ottawa.”
I like what he says: “Another
serious race, problem .... is OUR
ATTITUDE to the Japanese Cana­
dians”. The underlining, of course,
is mine. The problem as he evi­
dently sees it, and as I certainly
see it myself, is not the presence of
the Japanese Canadians, but the
attitude of the “hakujin” Cana­
dians ^oward them. And as he
points out in a earlier part of the,
article that applies not only to
Japanese Canadians, but to the
European minorities, the Jews, and
to a large degree to the French
Canadians as well. Until we Cana­
dians of British origin get rid of
this attitude that only the British
can possibly be true and worthy
citizens we will have a united
Canada only in our songs and poli­
tical speeches. "Well, it is a lot fun
working for such an ideal, isn’t it!
Thank you for the weekly stimu­
lus you prov'de—it helps keep us
on the job! I particularly appreci­
ated Mr. Shimizu’s article—“The
Church And Resettlement”.

First Time In Twenty Years
Editor, The New Canadian:
I enjoy reading the New Cana­
dian and look forward to it every
w-eek. It is the first time in twenty
years that I.have seen a Japanese
paper.
I have lived in Eastern Canada
for more than twenty years, and
although I was born in Japan, I
am a Canadian citizen now. I stay­
ed for four years in Toronto and
the rest in other big cities' so that
my present home in Port Dover
is: the first small place where I
have lived. I am quite happy and
like it. At first the people seemed
to look at me but now it is differ­
ent and I am accepted as one of
them.
I really think a small place is
better because folks are more
’friendly and kindly towards one of
another race and you get to know
each other sooner* than in large
cities. Last week I was invited to
join the Board of Trade, also the
Lions International club and I am
hoping to do so in the near future.
Port Dover’s population is a
little over 2000 and it is situated
on the north shore of Lake Erie.
The largest industry here is com­
mercial fishing, while the town is
also a very popular summer res­
ort well patronized by Americans.
The city of Brantford is about 30
miles distant while Hamilton is 40
miles. I understand there are a
number of Japanese in Brantford.
A patient of mine from there told
me that the Japanese had a repu­
tation of being good workers. I
heard this also from Mr. Mac­

(Pardner and R. I. seem to be
out in the cold. Will they be frozen
by the prejudicial element of their
fair Ontario city ? Will 'R. I. pass
his Botany 10 ? ? Will Roosevelt
run for a Fourth Term ? See the
final portion of this great drama
£
next week in this paper. !)

donald, the Selective Service officer
there.
•My opinion is that the Japanese
should not go in crowds to big
cities. Smaller places are better
and more than friendly. My advice
to relocees is to attend church
where they live and to - spread
themselves out. This is the only
way the other Canadians will get
to know our people well. One thing
I would like to say to all Japanese
in the West—Don’t be afraid of
coming east if you are willing to
take any job and work.
I am the only Japanese in Nor­
folk country and there’s lots of
room for more for it is a really
fine country. All anyone interested
has to do is to write to Mr. E.
Trueman, 174 Spadina Ave., Tor­
onto.
In conclusion I would like to say
I like your paper very much so
keep on the good work for us
Japanese.
K. KOBAYASHI
Port Dover, Ont.
Bill Hosokawa, widely-known
Nisei newsman from Seattle,
Singapore and Heart Mountain,
and now holding down a Des
Moines,
Iowa,
editorial desk
quotes one of* Des Moine’s better
known businessmen:
“The colored girl that comes
up to1 do the heavy cleaning saw
our Nisei schoolgirl and several
of her friends for the first time.
They* told me about it later. The
colored girl looked the Nisei
over, and said: ‘Pahdon me, but
is you girls French?’ ”

February 5. 194-1.
Coming up on the bus from
Slocan, City along the east side or
beautiful Slocan Lake, the first
pleasant sign of habitation is a
huge tourist-like building located
right by the lake shore;' You will
no doubt say to yourself. ‘‘'What a
beautiful building”. Those of you
who haven’t had the opportunity
of seeing the sight have probably
heard of the wonderful New Den­
ver Sanatorium built by Japanese
labour under the supervision of the
B. C. S. C.
Indeed,
there is a
beautiful hospital here. I along
with 70 other patients should
know. I am here, flat on my back.
A DAY IN THE SAN
How wouldSou readers like to
spend a day or two here. Now.
don’t run away. This is an excel­
lent opportunity I think, for you
and I to become better acquaint­
ed. Therefore, I shall attempt to
tell you about us.
Life begins at 7 in the morning
when we take our temperature and
pulse and then wash up. About
7:30 you’ll hear the tray-wagon
rumbling through the halls. Of
course this is the signal for the
sleepyheads to make a last min­
ute dash for the washroom. If you
are confined to bed, you wash in
bed and one of the orderlies or a
cute nurse’s aide will put your
breakfast tray on a little table in
front of you. Would you like to
look over my tray, folks? Well,
there’s a cup of coffee, a glass of
milk, a bowl of porridge, three
triangular pieces of toast and a
grapefruit halved. Then, propping
a book in front of you, you may
eat your breakfast leisurely. Rem­
ember, folks, not even a millionaire
has this opportunity.
After breakfast it’s free time till
10. And if you were looking for
misery, whining or pale inertness,
then you’re off the track. Some of
the patients are reading their
newspapers, photo magazines are
favoured too, while some erudite
souls are delving into “Reflections
on the Revolutions of Our Time”
or “Science and Sanity”!! Whew...
did you get a whiff of that stale
odour? Don’t be shocked, it’s just
Ted and his foul pipe. He has a
mixture in that bowl that would
collapse a lung without a pneumo­
thorax. There’s Yosh down there
serenading as happy as a lark. His
favourite pastime is carving intri­
cate brooches. Then, there’s Mitz
who is making a good job of tint­
ing pictures. And there’s a smoke
screen around George but it isn’t
a fire, he is just experimenting
with a wood-burning set.
All activity ends promptly at ten
and it is rest hour. And silence
settles quickly over -the ward as we

Swingin’ into the second por­
tion of our look-back on the 1943
music scene we first are attracted
by the. way that the movies did
right or otherwise to many famous
swing bands—
MOVIE BANDS...
Most of the top-notchers hit the
screens of the continent during the
year with Tommy Dorsey, Bob
Crosby and Kay Kyser probably
copping the honours- as the bandsmost - often - seen - in - a - picture.
Smooth slush-pumping T. D.’s ork
tvas seen to an advantage in Dubarry was a Lady, Girl Crazy,
Presenting Lily Mars and others.
Crosby’s Dixielanders showed up
both major and minor opuses, LilyMars being one, Reveille with Bev­
erly another. Holiday Inn’s music
■was partly played by the band be­
hind scenes aussi. And as for Mr.
Kyser he’s been around for quite a
time. And to a good advantage too.
‘Tis said that Woody Herman
and his Woodchoppers got the best
treatment in the Fox epic Winter­
time. 20th Century seems to have
the knack since you will remember
the parts that Glenn Miller had in
his two prewar pics. Other hands
facing and jumping in front of
cameras were Harry James,
nacherally; the incomparable B. G.
(although his present band still
remains a disappointment), James
Dorsey who was late hitching on
to the band wagon but sure is
making up for it, Count Basie,
Freddy Martin, Freddy Slack, Les
Browm, and the Duke himself.
Being in a road camp and an
evacuation settlement, yours trilly
hasn’t had the occasion to be able
to give first hand info except on
one or two pics. The most import­
ant one
was

swer. After the conversation ends,
and Reveille and all this plus a run
the idea is to get to sleep as quick­
ly as possible. This-is bocnuse some
one will surely start the fogi horn,
or somebody’ll grind his teeth or
talk in his sleep. Woe betide you
if you should perchance talk in
your sleep for it’ll surely be the
topic of the next morn’s breakfast.
Sometimes some bright lad will be
heard munching an apple about
2 A.M. and scaring the wits out of
the nurse making her rounds. But
despite all the noise you’ll fall off
to sleep to welcome another day
ahead.

the patients love it. And as for
cards, the card sharks will take
you to the cleaners with cribbage
any time. And the writing of let­
ters take up a great deal of time.
Not only do they write to keep
with the outside but the corres­
pondence between the men’s and
women’s wards could keep a post
office going in our place. And as
for Censors, they are not around
but the orderlies are sometimes
asked to read the letters and act
as
confidential
advisors,
yes,
Dorothy Dix’s. It is an interesting
game.
Before the day comes to a close,
there’s a hot cup of milk or cocoa,
■and then the orderlies will tuck
you to bed, pull your extra blanket
up and fill your hot water bottle.
After the lights go off at 9, con­
versation commences. The topic
may be geographical, agricultural,
food, or even about the franchise
for the Niseis. Whatever the
topic, there’s always a ready an­

NO ATHEISTS IN HERE
The sanatorium here may not
be a Shangri-La, yet life here
isn’t so bad. All. of the patients
are very cheerful and in good
spirits. After all, we are here
for a common purpose with full
determination to strive to regain
our priceless health. I’m sure
there aren't any atheists here
any more than among soldiers
in the battlefronts today.
At some future day we all ex­
pect 4o resume our place in public
life and at that time we shall be
possessed with a health just as
good as before, ib least we shall
appreciate it more. Why should so
many of the Japanese shun us who
have been unfortunate victims of
tuberculosis ?
There
are many
other sicknesses that are more
detrimental to the public at large
than t. b. that you may be unaware
of and yet, you possess so many
ambiguous prejudices about t. b.
not knowing the true facts. I hope
thaut many of you will overcome
whatever ambiguous and erroneous
ideas that you’ve been doped w-ith
and realize that our ultimate
efforts to better health are not in
vain.
If some day one of you readers
should by ill chance become a
patient here you’ll be assured the
best of care. Sanitary conditions
are good as can be devised. The
other day Dr. Uchida said to me,
“Nice place isn’t it,” I replied
“Yes very nice indeed. If I had
known what a nice place it is here
I would have been here several
months earlier.” There is no fear
of loneliness for everyone is soci­
able and will help you to forget
your worries and cares that you
may bring with you upon entering.
Altho’ I haven’t had the opportun­
ity of visiting the women’s ward
I have been told that there are
some belle femmes over there. At
the same time there are some nice
looking nurse aides around, not to
mention the nurses.
What more can one wish for?

BLATTERING AROUND
The record situation was helped
in one way and hurt in the other
by the year-long ban—recording
companies hoarded some of the last
discs cut before the ban and plug­
ged the right ones at the right
time which explains why Glenn
Miller versions of such tunes as
Blue Rain are being released now
—this is pre-Army stuff—
One solution to the record dearth
was re-issuing of popular “clas­
sics” and the hotter of the gather­
ers "weren’t complaining. Tommy
Dorsey’s Boogie Woogie, an an­
cient six year ago grooving was
around—so were such classics as
the Benny Goodman great band
version of Don’t Be That Way—
standards like Casa Loma’s Smoke
Rings. Shaw-’s Beguine, and Star­
dust—
Newies that are choice are
Erskine Hawkins Don’t Cry, Baby
—he’s the coloured trumpeter who
started Tuxedo Junction on its
glory
road — Jimmy
Dorsey’s
Besame Mucho, Star Eyes, and My
Ideal—which are in the popular
vein and feature the effective pipes
of Bob Eberly and Kitty Kallen—
And so enuff’s enuff for 43—44
promises great things too —
already the Esquire jazz poll
winners put on a jazz concert at
the Metropolitan opera house (yea
man!)—N.Y. Philharmonic maes­
tro Arturo Rodzinski made the
the headlines by blaming the Sin­
atra craze for the upward curve in
juvenile delinquency — too * darn
silly for words— and to- follow up
Pistol Packin’ Mama—Have you
heard Maresydotes and doesedotes
and littleambseatyvy ? ? ?

Mirrored here in the still waters of beautiful Slocan Lake is the modern sanitorium at New
Denver, where almost one hundred patients are fighting their way back to normal health. A
large majority of the staff, both professional and otherwise, are Nisei. The building itself was
completed by the Security Commission a year ago with the aid of evacuee labor, and it is
thought that it will become a provincial institution after the war. Beyond the sanitorium may
be seen some of the houses in the evacuee settlement, although N ew Denver itself is hidden
from view by the trees. This picture was taken by Mark N. Toyama from the Slocan Highway.

take a nap. After our nap, it’s
soon lunch time and though we
haven’t done very much it’s sur­
prising how much we can eat. I
guess we digest everything thor­
oughly in the rest hour. After lun­
ch too there’s a long rest of two
hours and we pound our ears on
the pillow again. Before we kno-w
it, it is three o’clock and those who
are getting better go outside for
a short walk. Sometimes these
fortunate ones have the company
of some mademoiselle from the
ladies’ ward. Incidentally, I hear
the girls devote their- time to mak­
ing useful articles by knitting,
crocheting, and kindred arts and
also go heavy on the art of making
themselves look mighty glamour­
ous. And are there some prettylassies here!
Say, I’m kinda hungry, ,so let’s
munch on an apple, I hope it
isn’t fish again for supper.
Here’s my tray-. Thank goodness,
the chef forgot to put fish on the

menu. It’s a plate of rice, chopsuey (or a reasonable facsimile,),
tepid soup,
pickled
cabbage,
green tea, and a glass of milk.
The other night there was a bowl
of something indescribable. 1
found out that it was meant for
pea soup. Boy, if the French
patrons of the “Aux Delicieux”
saw that, wouldn’t they be puz­
zled. But then we can’t have
everything and if you have a
good appetite like mine, all is
well.
DOROTHY DIXING
After supper social calls are
made and games and talk demand
our attention. Someone wants a
haircut and though there are no
professional barbers about, the
haircuts are quite passable. Of
course the hair tonks and the what
nots that permeate the city barber
shops are lacking but the results
are good. “Shogi” a Japanese game
that corresponds to Western chess

quickie, the abovementioned Reve­
ille with Beverly which contained
in feature spots,, four bands, vocal
groups, pretty tapper Ann Miller
and Sinatra besides.
It was noted on the local sh-owing of this epic that the swoon­
crooner’s Night and Day had the
most effect on the audience—high
school part being in majority—but
the high point of the production
to your columnist was the sight of
Duke Ellington playing his popular
Take the A Train—with a lusty
vocal too, no less—the Count’s
One O’Clock Jump was no’shrugaside either—and then Ella Mae
Morse and Freddie Slack’s Cow
Cow Boogie had the hall rocking—
so the storv was feeble—who cares.
Tommy Dorsey’s appearance in
Dubarry was witnessed with keen
delight aussi—he was there with
his whole pre-draft crew—Ziggy
Elman, Buddy Rich and Dick Haymes and the Pied Pipers—their
rendition of Well, Get It! (in technicolour too) was a bit of all right
—seeing the wonderful Mr. Elman
blowing his top off was sorta in­
spiring—Mr. Haymes did a short
but sincere bit of wording on a
number with a kick called Katie
from Haiti or something—
SINATRA II
This Mr. Haymes is now
estranged from the Dorsey mob as
most of you know and is being
publicized as the number one threat
to Frankie—they seem to ignore
Bingo but then the eld man is in
a class by himself—Richard is
another. Harry James and T. Dor-

sey alumnus) as Mr. Sinatra was—
which may or may not be a boost
—he has a movie contract too and
a radio program where all he has
to do is to advertise beauty pre­
parations and sing, sigh and talk
a little in a boyish way which un­
doubtedly comes natural to him.
As a singer he is not in Sinatra’s
class in my opinion albeit he is
pleasant enough to bend an ear to.
His “I’ll Get By” with Harry
James is something to remember
tho’—but his term with TD didn’t
net
in
anything
inspiring—of
course the record ban didn’t help
any-. For the next crooner that hits
national favour I would rather
have Jerry Wayne of ye All-Time
Hit Parade—here is a man who
sings like one—and looks healthy
and handsome too—but he hasn’t
got the dash or the press agent
that youknowho has—and I guess
he doesn’t sway with the mike and
make hke he’s in a trance at ap­
propriate moments so—
PAGING THE DUKE
One of the heartening happen—
mg's of the past veer was the
national discovery of the Duke of
Ellington—this coloured jazz genms—"whose prowess has been ex­
tolled for years among musicians
and jazz purists—finally came into
the world of hit paraders with the
aid of the popularizing of one of
the tunes he wrote some years ago.
Never No Lament was worded by
Bob 'Russell, a high class lyricist
and ended up as the plaintivelyappealing Don’t Get Around Much
Anymore. The Duke put in two bits

in the cinema—in the magnificent
production of Cabin In The Sky
at the Hurricane night club in New
York and a concert at the hallowed
Carnegie Hall—even before it went
commercial with the best tunes of
all—put the Famous Orchestra in
the limelight it has reserved for
years.
Nearly every popular magazine
erupted with feature stories on the
great composer—he was asked to
put on another concert in Decem­
ber—and the man who is said to
have influenced Stravinsky and
Ravel is now recognized by long­
hairs as well as a large part of the
infantile Sinatra adoring crowd as
“something out of this world”.
For those who wish to delve into
the wonders of Ellington—once
you become an Ellington addict,
the Lord save y-ou—take in a few
of his more popular recordings like
A Train, Don’t Get Around Much
Anymore and Clementine before
trying anything else—even then
you will notice something intangi­
bly different about the master’s
work as compared'to the everydaycommercial bands—then you can
work into such stuff as Creole Love
Call, Moon Mist, Delta Serenade.
Mood Indigo—but the first time
you hear these platters they will
bewilder you—
Caravan is another of the Duke’s
famous compositions — Sophisti­
cated Lady-, Solitude, Black and
Tan Fantasie, The Mooche, the
new Do Nothing Till You Hear
From Me which is the lyricized
version of the famous Concerto
