LONDON. Ont.—Kumeo Yosh da,
a former Pacific coast Canadian
born Japanese, gave his fifth blood

Press said in a recent newspage
story.
An employee of the C.S. Hyman

The first full term, of the Inter­
ior Housing Schools came to an
end this summer and the publish­
ing of annuals marked the final
activity of the schools before clos­
ing their doors for the summer
holidays. Under pressure both of
making the grade in school work
and completing their issues of the
school
annuals,
ambitious
and
hardworking students, taking time
oil from cramming for the final
examinations have done an excel­
lent job in their publications.
Some of these have been sent
in to The New Canadian where
they have been critically discus­
sed as regards content, style,
make-up and typography by the
entire staff—from the editor-inchief down to the printer’s devil
in the compbsing room. We ex­
tend our thanks to the school
editors who so kindly' remember­
ed us in distributing samples of
their work.
MEMORIES VIA THE ANNUALS
The chief purpose and objective
of the annual is to give the grad­
uates and students a permanent
record and a lasting souvenir of
their bygone school days, as edi­
tor Chica Sumiya of the “El Cee
Hi” a Lemon Creek High School
edition so aptly' wrote:
“..... For thosd of us who are
graduating or leaving school,
this annual will be a connecting
link with the last days of our
schooling. As we proudly glance
through these pages, we will
recall many names, many’ events
and many’ moments that will
bring a nostalgic lump in our
throats and perhaps tears in our
eyes............... ”
The annuals will not only bring
back memories to the students but
also to the teachers as evidenced
by a wistful passage written by
a grade eight teacher in the “Navy
and. White Waves” published by
the Kootenay Lake School (Kaslo).
“Turning back to those happy’
school days there are various
events that will forever remain
in my’ mind. George’s T got a
licking and jumped like a chick­
en’ — Keiko’s merry ha-ha’s —
Susie’s loud giggles. Tetsuo so
silent but behind him Yoshiko
always so ready’ with her an­
swers. Amy’ forever wanting
parties just so she could fill her
precious stomach. Donald’s mer­
ry voice and his cute little
laugh. Ye old editor ‘Taky” so
busy trying to make sure that
all contributions for the ‘Navy’
and White’ come in......... ”
FROM TASHME
From the isolated housing cen­
tre at Tashme comes the Nisei
Lycee Annual, the only printed
(the rest are all mimeographed)
issue that we have received here.
The typical Nisei attitude to­
ward education, the determination
to pursue studies to attain a
higher level in society is noted in
an editorial by Reggie Mori.
“..... We are now in our third
semester at the Tashme Corres­
pondence Classes. Although the
school activities are more flex­
ible, we are still studying under
difficulties. There is a lack of

On Constructive Envy

Summer inform

(Granada Pioneer)
Envy is a word that is common­
ly ' connected
with
unpleasant
things of life and though we may
be guilty of being envious, we
nevertheless disavow any thought
of being such a guy or gal. But
there is reason to believe that envy in its proper place is a boom
to our rising success. Now, you
may ask “How come?” Well, let’s
see if we can come up with a fair­
ly plausible answer.
If you approach your problem
with the envious attitude of “if
I could be as good as that; fella”
and then use your energy trying,
irrespective of success or fail­
ure, you’ll get 'some place.
But if you feel that “you are as
good as the other' fella” and sit
tight, you won’t get very far if
- that, because you lack the incen­
tive to “beat” the other fella. Or
if you feel that you’ve gotten as
far as you’ll ever get on your sur­
face
qualifications
and
warch
others progress without a trace of
envy, you’ll end up in tire same
boat with other satisfied men.
We all know that historical doc­
ument which says in part:
—that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights: that among these are Ine,
liberty, and the pursuit of happi­
ness.”
That'is true enough, we_ are all
created equal but from tnere on
your climb to fame and prosperity
is up to you as an individual, in
regards to inalienable rights, vour
life is what you make it: you can
be happy or you can ~ be sad on
the merits of your ability to a
just yourself to your environment.

You get as much liberty as you
are willing to fight for: not only
on the warfront but also on the
homefront. And the pursuit of
happiness must be wise and well
chosen, don’t expect to find a
Cadillac’s happiness riding a Ford.
But the happiness you find riding
a Ford can be just as warm and
heart-filling if you can use it to
add to your contentment.
We can all have a formula and
theories and day-dreams about life
but it’s the fella who is in there
pitching all the time with all the
endowment his Creator gave him
—he’s the man to watch. So if
you have a certain goal to attain,
find your short comings in compar­
ison to the fella who is superior
and work to close the gap.
Envy him but in a way that
will spur you on to , greater
heights, and never feel that you
are at the top—no matter how
good you may get.
Begrudge not those who may be
endowed with little more than you.
Begrudge yourself for not at­
tempting to better yourself with
your own endowments.

Two little Nisei boys stood by
a chicken coop- 'in an alley and
stood
watching
the
chickens
scratch and peck the ground in
search for grubs and insects. Rea­
ching into his pocket, one boy
brought out a small handful of
biscuit crumbs and scattered them
into the fenced off pen. Interest­
edly, they watched the chickens
flock together and busily peck at
the crumbs. Suddenly—
“'Get away! Get away from
there!”
"Aw, we’re just feedin’ ‘em.
We’re not doing anything’ ”
"Never mind, get away.”
The two little boys with hurt
looks in their eyes slunk away as
the old man drew himself up to his
full height and glared down his
nose upon them.
Once at a safe distance, the two
boys turned around.
“Yeah, na .... na .. : :’’ said
one and stuck his tongue out.
“Yah, yah, yah” chorused the
second as he thumbed his nose.
Then they turned tail and ran
while the outraged man stood
there flabbergasted.
“Now what did you do that for ?”
asked the voice behind the man.
“They weren’t doing any harm
feeding the chicks.”
“I just don’t like Japs.” I over­
heard him say.
*
*
*

Meanwhile the two little boys
wandered forlornly up the street.
“Heck, he had no reason to
chase us away from there, we
were just feedin’ •’em,” said one
bitterly. “I felt like telling him to
jump in the lake.”
“Yeah,” said the other gloomily,
“it’s just because we’re little kids
and he thinks he can pick on us.”
“Yeah,” rejoined the first, “some
of these hakujins sure think
they’re good.”
Silence settled over the two as
they mulled over the injustice of
it all in their young minds.
“Hey, c’mere kids.”
The shout jolted the two out of
their reflections and they looked
apprehensively at each other.
“C’mon, I got something to give
you.”
With reluctant feet dragging
through the dusty road, the boys
slowly went toward the “hakujin”
lady who was calling them.
“Whatsa matter with you two
anyhow?” said the lady, “don’t
you want some cherries?”
The two faces lighted up and
the dragging feet no longer drag­
ged.
“Gee, you mean you’re gonna
give ‘em to us? Oh boy! Thanks
a lot!”
Two pairs of eager hands rea­
ched out and received a handful
of cherries each. Clutching the
cherries in their hands and be­
tween mouthfuls of the fruit, the
boys managed to say “thanks”
while the kindly hakujin beamed
on.
Their previous encounter with
old man forgotten for the time, the
two boys jogged along, their
minds oblivious to everything ex­
cept the cherries which they were
greedily consuming.
“Gee, she was nice!”
“Yeah, she sure was. I wish
everybody was like her.”
The cherries were all gone now.
“That old man,” said one vehem­
ently. “he sure is a skunk.”
“Oh well,” said the other philo­
sophically, “as long as there are
people like that nice lady I don’t
mind. Everybody can’t be that
bad.”

this obstacle, we are all fixed

Featured in this edition are the
prize winning essays written by
students
of their
impressions,
thoughts and views of their every
day' life in Tashme. and of current
events.
The. Kaslo Hi Lites, which was
published with the collaboration of
the Nisei and Occidental students
of the Kaslo High School, shows
-the progress in the assimilation of
the Japanese Canadians students
with the occidentals in that school.
“We managed to overcome a
great deal of race animosity”,
This shows that we are making
a move towards fuller democra­
cy.” praised Principal E. Hayes
in his message to the pupils.
The “Scholastic” a Lemon Creek
School product, went ell out to
make their final edition the best
since its inception a little over a
half year ago. Outstanding art
work by Noboru Matsuba and the
unique arrangement of photo­
graphs of class pictures end snap­
shots. are featured in this issue.
“We shall always remember
that queer choking feeling when
our school song burst over the
amplifier, that lump in our
throats as we watched the' house
teams marching briskly to the
music. This was our school........
this was what we had looked for
.............we had a right to be
proud .......
PERSONALS OF STUDENTS
On the lighter sid§, jokes and
personals of students who were
caught unawares with their “hair
down” are recorded as part of a
biography’ of the victim. Take for
example personals from the Nisei
Lycee:
“Art knows that ‘the way’ to a
woman’s heart is through her sto­
mach.’ (Well, it’s Leap Year, isn’t
it?) Boy, can he dock! And girls,
have you noticed his cute dimple
when he smiles?”
A CLASS WILL
The Lemon Creek School gradu­
ates in rounding out their final
days as students in the elementary
grades, bequeathed to the new
term seniors, a Class Will.
“We bequeath on to the Class
of ‘45,, the class rooms’ in which
we were taught interesting lessons
so that in the future we might
attain distinction in our chosen
vocation. We devise to them the
gentle ministrations of our tea­
chers who so pati ntly strove to
lay the foundation that we might
rise to unsurpassable heights. We
do ’bequeath them the view from
the windows of Anderson’s Hill
and the azure sky above, and the
white
billowy
cumulus
clouds
floating so serenely high above the
green mountains beyond the hill,
of the long line of students as they
wind their way’ homeward at the
end of the day. We leave to them
the sounds that float in through
the windows of the children at
play on the school grounds, the
call of the birds which so often
made our minds wander during
our lessons . .. .”

Canada’s. Twinge of Conscience
(From Time Magazine)
Canada had a belated twinge of
conscience last week and Parlia­
ment heard all about it.
A bill to give the vote ta Cana­
dian soldiers overseas had gone
through the House of Commons
with a roar of unanimous appro­
val. But concealed in the bill was
an ‘ugly clause. It would enable
any provincial legislature to bar,
for
racial
reasons,
Canadians
everywhere in Canada from vot­
ing.
The clause was intended to keep
squeeze ‘em all in somehow. Nas­
turtiums, asters, pansies, sweet
peas, larkspurs,
snap dragons,
bachelor buttons, alysiums down to
the lowly weed now adorn the
miniature garden.
Our palatial mansion which in
size compares favorably with our
front yard is certainly colorful
anyhow with flowers strewn all
over the place..

Canada’s Japanese from voting;
had the support of color-touchy
members from British Columbia.
There Japanese have long been
barred from the polls. The effect
of the new bill was to extend the
British Columbia ban to all of
Canada. Any legislature could as
easily bar Canadians of German
or Italian extraction from voting.
When the bill came before the
Senate, the ban was whittled down
to apply only to Japanese. Ten
Senators! nine Liberals, one Tory)
moved to strike out that offending
clause. They battled stoutly but
lost. For less important reasons,
the Senate sent the bill back to
the House. Canadian newspapers
denounced the clause (“cowardly
device,” “very, very Nazi”). Prime
Minister King and his Cabinet
were on the spot. If they did not
move to kill the clause, they
would be denounced for limiting
civil liberties. If they did, the
would offend British Columbia.
