THE NEW CANADIAN

‘These Are Our Parents’
(An. excerpt from "These Are
Our Parents" by George ■Mori­
mitsu which appeared in the
October. 1943 issue of "Asia and
the Americas")

My parents are living today in
one of the relocation camps in the
American West. Like the other
Issei, or first generation of Japa­
nese who came to the United
States during the years of great­
est migration, they had lived a
unceasing toil and struggle, in a
land which did not understand
them but which, they hoped, would
provide for -their children all the
advantages that they had been
denied.
KNOW LITTLE OF PARENTS
There is little that I know of
their past. My only connecting
link with it would be through
the language that we supposedly
speak in common. But this we
lack and have always lacked
since the years we children
started
learning
English
at
grade school. My mother tongue
is English, and theirs Japanese.
We have never engaged in long
talks as other families do, be­
cause we have never understood
each other well.
Of my father’s past, all I know
is what I have heard from my
mother at scattered, intervals. He
came to California from Hawaii at
an early age, perhaps when he was
twenty. He worked as a domestic
in a San Francisco family while
going to grammer school, one of
that breed of Issei immigrants
known as “Japanese schoolboys”.
I learned of the hardships he had
endured, going to school on a
breakfast that consisted of’ a slice
of bread and a cup of coffee. A
lone hardboiled egg on Sunday.
And for spending money, a fifty
cent piece once a month. All this
my mother told me when I was
a young boy, to emphasize how
fortunate I was in getting an edu­
cation on a full stomach. Being a
woman with a good sense of
humor, she laughed with me in
describing the early-day tribula­
tions of my father.
About my mother, I know just
as little. We used to have an old
snapshot of her .holding an Ameri­
can baby in her arms, so I gather­
ed that she had worked for a fam­
ily when she had first come to
America.
Once I heard my mother say
in a moment of reminiscence
* #
*

that her family in Japan had in­
cluded great landowners and vil­
lage officials. What other per­
sonalities ran in the family line.
I do not know. For my brother,
my sisters and myself, our fam­
ily line begins in America.
*

*

*

When we children werd still
young, my mother taught classes
in a Japanese language school to
augment the income of my father
as a produce commission mer­
chant. Then we moved to the city
of Sacremento, where my father
had bought a restaurant in the
lower end. My mother helped in
the kitchen to save the wages that
would have gone to another cook.
THEN CAME DEPRESSION
The long hours of work required
to keep the restaurant operating
daily kept to a minimum the
amount of attention my parents
could possibly give to the family.
But we were fed and clothed and
sent to school through the many
years that we lived in the back
rooms of the restaurant, during
which we made the transition
from childhood to youth. When the
depression slowly settled upon the
nation, it paralyzed the business.
My father sought work elsewhere
to help pay our living expenses
while my mother continued to run
the restaurant alone. But it was
dying a slow death. Finally, one
day, while I was still a senior in
high school, we were told the bank
could not extend the rent for even
another week.
That night I told my' mother I
was going to quit school. For
weeks I had seen the worried ex­
pression on her face, though she
had never disclosed her fear to
any of us, but now I felt that I
could stand it no longer. Education
became secondary in my mind. I
told her I would go out and pick
grapes in a vineyard down the
river for the few weeks of the sea­
son that still remained.
EDUCATION COMES FIRST . . .
When I said that Mother became
angry. She scolded me as though
I were but a child again.
She said that I would continue
with my education, no matter
what happened to the restaur­
ant. With her, she told me then,
the education of her children
meant more than anything else
in her life. That night, when I
went to bed, I cried silently in
my pillow.

Farsighted Isseis Think Fir

Of Nisei Education

I cannot say that all the Issei
had the same attitude as had my
mother. Some of my acquaintances
did not go far in school because
their parents did not believe in the
value .of an education.
But the
Issei with foresight were to sacri­
fice their own and even their fam­
ily’s comforts to provide an ade­
quate schooling for their children.
Perhaps they realize how badly
they themselves lacked the train­
ing for which they had never had
the time. Perhaps it was a subli­
mation of their own youthful
hopes into the persons of their
children. Or perhaps they wanted
their children to get all the pre­
paration they could for the strug­
gle that awaited them in a society
where prejudice would disciminate
against all but the best of the
Nisei.
*
*
*
THEY GLORIED IN SACRIFICE
The determination of the Issei
to give
their
children
the
chances denied them never swer­
ved in the face of almost insur­
mountable obstacles. They suf­
fered and they gloried in the
sacrifices
they made.
They
sweated and they slaved without
thoughts of personal betterment,
of good clothes, homes, cars, so
long as they had before their
eyes the welfare of their child­
ren.
•
This was the spirit that posses­
sed the immigrant Japanese. They
lived in the hopes of their ambi­
tions fulfilled, for not all the Nisei
were capable of taking advantage
of the
opportunities
presented
them, and not all had the strength
of character the nature of the
changing world demanded. Lastly,
not all the Nisei showed gratitude
for the sacrifices their parents had

made.
.The barrier of language differ­
ence in most families kept the
children apart from their par­
ents, the cleavage growing wider
and wider with the passing of
years. The tendency of the Issei
to cling to the customs of the
Japanese also provided a point of
friction between them and their
Americanized off-spring, even
when the cause of the friction
bore no relation to all these cus­
toms.

FUTURE UP TO NISEI
Theirs has been a hard struggle
in
an
unfriendly
environment.
They are .tired and care little what
happened next. A relocation camp
somewhere on a wind-swept plain
is as good as anywhere else to
spend the next few years. For
some of them the accumulated
wounds of the years have left a
bitterness in their hearts. Some
have expressed a desire to repat­
riate to their old homeland, even
though their American born child­
ren should stay in this country.
Even though it means that they
must start life all over again at
their advanced age in a land they
have not seen for perhaps thirty
or forty years, whose familiar
landmarks will have vanished long
decades ago.
For most of them, though,
there is nothing to do but to
remain in America after the
war. They realize that they can­
not expect to start all over
again, working as day laborers
and domestics as they once
worked, back in another gener­
ation. Their only hope for the
future remains with their child­
ren, the Nisei.

On the Loose...
By F.A.M.
RAYMOND, Aka.

“Yard Creek".
Lakeside Villa One,
Kaslo, B. C.

Dear Sir:
Having been confined to bed for
the past three weeks by an acci-*
dent, I have been spending part
of the time catching- up on my
reading and thus came upon a
column in the October 9, 1943 is­
sue of The Now Canadian entitled
"On the Loose” by F.A.M. In it
he gives a (or should it be "with
a”)
vivid description of your
charming villa and also some
rather insulting epithets on your
abilities as a cook.
In our first year of beet work,
1 undertook most of the cooking,
for the family and what a chore
that was! When the boss forgot to
deliver our groceries for a week
or so, my ’sisters (enough of
them!) would begin to remark
"canned vegetables and biscuits
again!” until 1 would be driven to
experimenting with all kinds of
mixtures (just between the two' of
us, the urge to dream up master­
pieces is one that has always been
one of my peculiarities.) I noticed
that when my efforts gave forth
good results, they ate without
making too much fuss and some of
the more tolerant ones would even
give me a word of praise. But
when the concoctions were slightly
unusual,—although at all times
edible—they would let out a cry of
woe that would have raised the
dead on Temple Hill, had they
heard it. Although these unfortu­
nate occasions were comparatively
few, my reputation as a cook was
almost ruined for such is the
way of human with “the hand that
fed them.” As the days grew
warmer, the situation grew from
bad to worse because here in Al­
berta, the intense heat has a ten­
dency to affect the appetite of
those not yet acclimated. I finally
decided that cooking for fussy
people in a crowded beet shack
with the temperature hovering
around 105 degrees in the shade
was much worse than thinning
beets and looking like a hog thathad just enjoyed a mud bath so I
persuaded two of the girls to take
Kirns with me.
Under this new system, my
creative urge (which I privately
consider the mark of a genius)
can raise havoc only one day in
three and I incur the taunts only
one third as often as before. Also,
I have the privilege of remarking
judiciously that this girl’s soup is
just a little too salty or that one’s
dressing could stand another drop
or two of lemon juice.
Why don’t you try this system
in your “mansion”? You will find
the criticism not quite so ready on
the tongues of your fellow lodgers
after they have burnt the steak or
curdled the soup once or twice.
Personally, I find that limiting
my dream recipes to cookies is the

T. U.’s Travelogue

Thronoh Greenwood and Midwav
(Mixing business with pleasure,
our Japanese section editor, Taka­
ichi Umezaki, who recently made
a brief sojourn of the Okanagan
centres wrote of his impressions
of the trip. The following is a
sketch of his stopover at Green­
wood. This is a first of a series
about his trip which will appear
in these columns.)
WRITER’S FOREWORD: Be­
ginning the trip through Nelson
and by way of Greenwood through
the Okanagan centres (Penticton,
Kelowna,
O k a n a g a n Centre,

Oyama and Vernon), and return­
ing- by a different route, via Revel­
stoke, by ferry down the Upper
Arrowhead Lake. Nakusp, New
Denver and thence home to Kaslo,
1 completed the round trip in ele­
ven. days ( August 23 to September
3). During this excursion, I had
occasion to meet many both old
and new friends. At this point, I
wish to extend my sincere thanks
to these newly acquired and old
friends for the many acts of kind­
nesses and warm hospitality which
was accorded me.
*

Looking back two years a gm
when we first passed through
Greenwood in that late October
day, when the evacuation from the
coast was just coming to a close,
I wondered—no doubt as many
wondered—how Greenwood derived
its name. Bleak, barren, sparsely
vegetated country greeted
the
traveller’s eye. Grey, forbiddinglooking mountains, surrounded the
valley.
A TRANSFORMATION
A transformation seemed
to
hive taken place, when I made the
brief one day stopover at Green­
wood. .1 had expected to be con­
fronted with the same dreary
countryside, but much to my sur­
prise, green foliage was evident
along side of the creeM and in the
valley, giving the landscape a re­
freshing and cheerier appearance.
The first “ghost town” to be re­
settled by evacuees, even two
years ago, Greenwood’s would be
residents were quite well settled
in the houses, although at that,
time minds were unsettled and un­
easy with the uncertainty of a
fast-moving wartime world.
The whole atmosphere in Green­
wood hrs changed since then. The
evacuees have settled down into
normal communal life.
Most of
them are employed in sawmill and
logging operations and C.P.R. rail­
road work. I venture to say that
there is no idle, able-bodied adult
male in the whole settlement.
Each one is gainfully employed
and receiving good wages.
The return to normal life is
even more stressed by the selfsupporting evacuees buying “mesurashi” or novel foodstuffs regard­
less of the price which people re­
ceiving
maintenance
allowances
cannot afford. There is a distinct
contrast in the mode of life with
the other interior towns in this
respect.
A daily shipment of fresh fish—
which, to the Japanese household
is almost a necessity in their daily
life—comes in with the train
everyday, lending a more homey
touch, a touch of the former coast
days on the dinner table.
The schools are sponsored by
Christian Churches Qualified tea­
chers are teaching in these schools
and students receive the best of
education.
BOOKS FOR ISSEI AND. NISEI
A library completed last spring
is open to the residents. This lib­
rary was built through the cooper­
ation of a special joint committee
of Japanese evacuees and the local
residents of Greenwood. Approxi­
mately 1400 books of all type
now line the shelves. Also, a col­
lection of classic Japanese fiction
and non-fiction books which are
the contributions of Dr. G. Ishi­
wara are available to the Issei.

The conduct and behaviour of
the evacuee library subscribers are
the responsibility of the Japanese
committee, and so far, there has
been no complaint of rowdiness or
trouble caused by the Japanese in
the library.
AN ACTIVE MAYOR
Greenwood resettlers are very
fortunate in having (Mayor MacArthur. He is a man of action, not
merely of words. Not only has he
met the evacuees halfway am! co­
operated in everyway, but he has
gone out of his way to help the
newly settled people.
, When the housing situation was
acute, the Mayor went into action.
Houses on an old abandoned mine
site were dismantled and the lum­
ber brought into tewn to be re­
erected into living quarters to ease
the congested evacuee households.
Due credit, however, should be
given to the evacuees themselves
in maintaining a harmonious relationship with the local residents.
The former west .coasters have
gone all out to assimilate, with the
occidentals taking part in various
activities. They are staunch sup­
porters of the Red Cross and also
partake in welfare and social work
in the community.

“NISEI VOICES”
what more do you want? If you
stop to figure out all the angles,
you’ll never be able to ask a girl.
She can’t wait all her life for you
to become a millionaire.
Yeah ... I guess you’re right
in a way. But you just can’t ask
any girl that comes along. Say,
what are you doing this Saturday?
Any plans? If not, let’s go to a
dance.
Okay, where will we go and who
will we go with ?
Anyplace that’s cool, and what’s
the matter with your usual date?
Had trouble?
Nothing you would understand.
But it’s okay. I’ll find somebody.
Guess I’d better get going. So long
. . - see you Saturday.
So long . . . a'-d don’t forget
to find soniebody.

AT MIDWAY
With only a few short hours left
before the train left for Penticton,
Dr. Ishiwara managed to borrow
a car and so we drove ten miles
west out of Greenwood to Miwday
where a number of evacuees are
employed in sawmills.
Working at the J.W. Sherbinin
and Sons, Midway Logging Co.,
was Seiji Onizuka, former sports
editor of The New Canadian in
pre-evacuation (lays. He is the
bookkeeper for the firm.
Mr. Sherbinin, the proprietor
and manager of the outfit was
very pleased with the work being
done by the evacuees. New bunk­
houses were erected and every as­
sistance has been given by the
company to better accommoda­
tions for the workers, Mr. Sher­
binin said. He also stated that he
wished to hire more Japanese
workers if he could obtain them.
From the tone of conversation
with Mr. Sherbinin, I gathered
that he would retain the evacuee
workers even after the end of the
war.
*#
*
With many of the men working
at Midway and on the railroad
sections, Greenwood is a deserted
town on weekdays except for
children. Every weekend, however,
the “machi” is “negiyaka”, when
the men from the sawmills, log­
ging camps and railway jobs (men
on section crews return every
other weekend) return home to
their families.

“Nothing

would
under­
stand,” I’d told him. No, I don’t
suppose he would have understood.
Why should he? He never knew
how I felt. Not even she knew. It
was a secret locked up inside of
me.
The street lamps were dim be­
hind the leaves of the maple trees
and the*moon cast long shadows
across the road. All along the
streets the houses stood, dark, in­
animate, without semblance of life.
I was alone and as I walked I
could hear the sound of my heels
striking the pavement, echoing in­
to the night- There was an empti­
ness in my stomach. The gnawing
pain of loneliness gripped roe and
I wanted to lie down and cry.

'Ah

Dear Emy:
Hello. How’s Eastern Canada?
Tashme’s the same as ever. Just
thought I’d let you know the latest
events in Tashme society.
The show “Jinsei-Gekijo” spon­
sored by the T.Y.O. in aid of the
Tashme Scouts and Cubs was a
great success. This show ran three
nights with a packed house each
night. The Scouts, in their smart
uniforms looked very ' impressive
as they acted as ushers.
The Tashme Buddhist Church
held their “O-Bon” services on
Sunday, August 13th, and the at­
tendance was unusually great.
RAIN, THUNDER, LIGHTNING
On Wednesday, August 23rd, we
had a very unusual rainstorm. It
was lovely in the morning, but
just past noon large drops of rain
began to fall lazily. In a few min­
utes it became a regular down­
pour. Huge columns of water cas­
caded down from the eave troughs.
Then it began to hail, huge halfan-inch hailstones. You should
have heard the complaints of the
people who’d come into the store
for shelter, “My poor cabbages,”
wailes one. You mean my cucumbers
and
tomatoes,”
grumbles
another. It seemed that the entire
vegetable crop of Tashme was des­
troyed. But this storm passed
quickly, and by evening, o^ly a

fine drizzle remained, accented by
the occasional rumble of thunder
and flashes of lightning.
The T.Y.O. held an indoor rec­
cording musical appreciation ses­
sion, strictly for the Issei people.
Only- “naniya-bushi” 2nd “eigasetsumei”, etc. were played. The
hall was just jammed with men
adn women, both young and old,
a perfectly grand time was
had by all.
The Tashme teachers came back
from New Denver on August 24.
Somehow Tashme seems ■ more
lively with these gay lassies home
again.
EXCITING BALL GAMES
The ball games are getting “excitinger and excitinger” each day
as the finals approach. Tashme is
very b a s e b a 11-conscious.‘ The
grandstands are always overflow­
ing at each game. It makes me
feel like a complete moron with an
I.Q. of exactly zero when I hear
little six years olds describing the
why’s and wherefore’s of a liner,
balloon-ball, and shut-out games.
Guess I’ll have to brush up on my
baseball lingo.
Well, Emy, this seems to bo
about all the news up to this momment. I’ll be ■writing void all about
Labor Day in my next letter. ‘Till
then, bye now.
