that if social conditions are appro

fairly easily reconciled to a cer

if social conditions are not appro

not necessarily leave the indivi

individual or family faces the dual

and socially-isolated position, then
there is genuine cause for com
pliant.
What seems to be the happy
medium for a transition period at
least is a very modified form of
social grouping, which while not
maintaining the close economic in
terdependence of the former coast
al communities, still provides con
venient and satisfying outlets of
social expression.

do.” he cussed the Jerries in broken English. Although lie was wounded
very seriouslv. he told the aid man that it is nothing, that he would
be up against those Jerries again. It seems that he and a group of
other Kibei just decided that the best way to clear a particular machine
^un nest -was to rush it. So they did. Anyone who rushes a machineJun nesti like that has to have more than guts—and these boys Lave it.
The Kibei are doing a grand job and are giving up their lives for a
better world. My hat goes off to the Kibei in our outfit.
(Officer’s Name Withheld)
Somewhere in. France.
ilm coast, despite severe political
and religious dissension, there
were remarkably rigid patterns
and close ties, arising from geo
graphy. blood kinship and institu
tional activity. These established a
social sphere — in recreation, in
sport, in group life—into which
tne Nisei had an automatic en
trance. Evacuation and dispersal
caused the complete disruption of
all these ties. And the making of
new social contacts in the newfound communities has been es
pecially difficult for the majority
of Nisei, who have never had the
experience of making them and
whose life formerly revolved in
But if the average Nisei finds
difficulty in adjusting himself
socially, in winning satisfaciory
social acceptance in a communi
ty. it is evident that his family,
especially the older generation
members, will find it an even
greater problem.
Such, in fact, has already been
the experience. And the answer to
it, in Toronto and Hamilton and
elsewhere, has been the organiza
tion or older people’s groups,
which help to ease the loneliness
that first generation women in
particular must feel.
Common sense and a realization
of the moral obligation owed to
THE PESSIMIST
“Yah, I know I should study.
Everybody else’s doin’ it, but
heck, I can’t be bothered.
Why
should I tramp to night school
through rain and snow? Life’s too
short.
“What. do these chumps think
they’re getting anyhow? I’ve seen
fellas plugging for two years and
they’re still doin’ the same thing.
Always studyin’. . How’s about a
jump to Toronto? Nope, too much
studyin’. How’s about some bowl
ing?
Nope, it’s my night for
drafting. Hell, what’s the fun in
always wotkin’. Work eight hours,
dash home—eat—dash to night
school, dash back and start all
over again. And what do they get
for it all?
“Yeah, yeah, after the war, I’ll
be sorry. Me ? I ain’t worryin’. I’ll
be out of job maybe, but so will
everybody else. A B.A. or what
ever it is that varsity students
get for their four years of high
hattin’ won’t help ‘em much.
Lookit those guys -who were doin’
plain dirty labour before the ’war
and lookit those guys who’ve been
sittin’ around since they grad
uated in May because Japs can’t
get a decent job even with a
degree.
“Me ? I get a hundred fifty a
month, as much as any white col
lar guy. I like my job. I like to
spend my money and have a good
time while I’m young.
“The Club ? Oh, it’s okay, I
guess. I went just once so I
wouldn’t know much about it. The
once I did go was enough for me.
Some guys sit at the head table.
The meeting starts. Some jerk
gets up and sez T move that so
and so and so.’ Then some jerks
get up to say what’s wrong with
it. And so on until they talk so
much they get tired of hearin’
themselves. If any guy like me
got up to say anythin’ about it,
them higher ups throw those mil
lion dollar words at you and you
sit down because you don’t under
stand them enough to tell them to
go t’hell. I say, whatsa use of me .
goin’ there. Them guys do as they
like if they ever do anythin’.
“The dames too, they give me a
pain. They want you to be a
painted saint. You enjoy a few
'drinks and a game of poker with
the guys like any normal guy and
you’re a souse and an “incurable
gambler.” No wonder a lot of my
friends take white girls out. They
can understand a man bein’ a man
and not an angel. Still, they all
wanta marry Nisei girls. Funny
ain’t it ?
“Sure,
sure, I got nothing,
against them guys who wanta
study to ge’- ahead, more power to
'em. But they can leave us happygo-lucky and happy.
They don’t
hafta come preachin’ about postwar junk. I’m not gonna ask for
any favours. Why should I ? We’re
^just a bunch of bohunks to those
guys, anyways.”
uprooted evacuees ought to pre
vail in this question. There is per
haps a tendency to stress disper
sal through and through to an ex
treme degree. But it is well known
that if social conditions are appro
priate, people on the whole will be
fairly easily reconciled to a cer
tain amount of physical discom
fort or to a narrow income to
which they would otherwise object
very strenuously.
Witness the
“ghost towns.” On the other hand,
if social conditions are not appro
priate, even very good pay does
not necessarily leave the indivi
dual satisfied or happy. When an
individual or family faces the dual
economic and psychological prob
lems resulting from a marginal
and socially-isolated position, then
there is genuine cause for com
pliant.
What seems to be the happy
medium for a transition period at
least is a very modified form of
social grouping, which while not
maintaining the close economic in
terdependence of the former coast
al communities, still provides con
venient and satisfying outlets of
social expression.
