THE NEW CANADIAN
Hie Sinn «f Sgt. Frank taliira
His Life and Philosophy
Condensed from an article by
Martha F. McKeown, which ap
peared in the Portland Oregonian.
The article is based on Hachiya’s
lerters, autobiography, and news
paper reports of his death.
This is the story of an Oregon
bav. one of the heroes who died in
the battle of Leyte. He is Frank
Hachiya who joined the army
when he heard of the Pearl Harbor
attack.
His name was never removed
from the
Hood
River honor
roll; it had never been placed
there.
What, was in the mind of this
Nisei who, by his supreme sacri
fice, fighting until death against
the soldiers of his own ancestral
background, demonstrated his loy
alty to America?
EARLY LIFE
'•'My parents immigrated into
this country in the' later part of
the first decade. They made their
home in Hood River, and I was
born there in 1920. The place was
located in a remote section, far
west of the great metropolis of
Oregon, Portland. Here was my
home until I attained the age of
16 when my parents thought it
best for my future to have a little
knowledge of Japanese.
So that
year we moved to Japan.
SPENDS 4 YEARS IN JAPAN
‘‘After three months of travell
ing here and there, we started
school in the following year. My
brother in a public grade school
and I, in a private high school.
Everything was different, and fur
thermore, rhe Japanese language
which we could not understand
very well, hindered our progress.
“I remember many a time when
we would come home completely
discouraged, wishing to return to
the United States. I guess my par
ents could not stand it any longer
and they hired a tutor to whom
I am grateful, for it was he who
made us know the Japanese I do
now.
“I really believe now that living
m Japan four years has done me
one great good. The appreciation
of America, the love of one's
country. Now, I don’t mean I don’t
like Japan, but I wiT never say
that I like her as well as America.
As I was born and reared here,
I am an American, though I was
born of Japanese parents.
“I’m not very hmdy with words.
Maybe if it were Byron or other
writers, they could express the'r
thoughts and feelings, but with my
humble vocabulary, it is impas
sible. The love of one’s country,
America! It’s queer and mystify
ing—that is all I can say. Every
good news heard of America
brightened our faces up, but every
bad news seemed to make things
more dark.
From Letters Written While in Training
“This time I’m -writing from
cold, cold Minnesota. For weeks
we were living under sub-zero
conditions, but lately it has become
more bearable. Mrs. Rodamar tells
me that you had considerable snow.
It makes the atmosphere congen
ial, especially sitting by the fire
place and looking out into the
white world. Home is what we all
in the armed forces are looking
for.
*
*
*
“I have been attending school
here for a considerable time. It
seems that going overseas is quite
definite and I can hardly wait for
the time to come. Although I hate
war more than anyone can,
I
think it is a very good place to
test oneself—one is either a man
or a mouse—as the saying goes.
If I come out I shall know for
sure. Furthermore, the sooner the
war is over the better, and I would
like to know that I had a part in
it,
*
❖
*
“Yes, it may seem hard to real
ize that democracy can treat us
like this, but the fact is obvious
enough now. Most of the Nisei
lived with the thought that as long
as they were citizens they were im
mune to this treatment, but they
have found out the hard way. My
cultural background of two widely
separated institutions has afforded
me many headaching conflicts.
“Our position in this nation is
not too agreeable, but I hope that
it is nearly at its worst. The source
of all this ill treatment being for
ced upon us is the inconsistency
between the theory and the prac
tice of democracy.
“Life in your camp must be
miserable which I also find in the
Army. As you know, I wrote you
letters expressing my discourage
ment in “life” which contains these
problems. But now I find that has
passed.
“I feel that life is everywhere. It
is in ourselves, not in what we
witness outside. There are men all
around us, and to be a man among
people and remain so—not to be
disheartened now to fall into what
ever misfortune may befall us—
is life. Isn’t this the task of life ?
The very idea has entered into my
flesh and blood. Of course, there
will remain in my memory the
treatment received; that cannot be
destroyed except by death. They
can persecute me in any way, but
there will always remain in me my
heart, the same flesh and blood
which can love, desire, and suffer.
“Perhaps I have not expressed
myself clearly, but what I said is
all life......... I am aware of the
fact that life is a gift. It should
be happiness, and e?ch minute
should have a long happiness. I
shall be grateful of one thing to
the war. It is making me realize,
life.”
On Leyte, December, 1944
In December, 1944, Frank was
on Leyte. He was seiwing in the
forward areas in a detached capa
city with the 7th.
American units on an adjacent,
ridge took a prisoner whom Frank
volunteered to interrogate enough
this meant crossing an enemy-held
valley.
(From the Honolulu Star Bulletin)
“It was essential to get tne in
formation from the prisoner of
war immediately as some of cur
unit's were in a bad spot,
“Frank was given permission ^o
go by the lieutenant colonel, wno
sent him with the infantrymen a=
a bodyguard. They started out. ano

when they got to the „ bottom of
the valley Frank outran his body
guards.”
(From the New York Times)
“He crept forward through the
grass, now crawling, now running
from cover to cover. The men be
hind watched him descend the
slope and work into the wlley.
Then they saw him drop. A Japa
nese sniper had got him. But Sgt.
Hachiya, mortally wounded though
he was, couldn’t lie there. The bat
talion wanted the information he
had gathered. He must get back.
So he crawled, bleeding in agony,
out of the valley and up the hill,
through the grass and the scrub
and around the merciful protection
of little hillocks. He was dying
when he finally reached the lines.
He made his report while they
bound his wounds."
Thus Frank Hachiya died.
When his father had warned him
on his last visit not to behave
Fke a coward in the battlefield, his
last words were, “Do not worry,
Dad. I know what my duty is.”
By N. 31.
Being here in Kaslo, you meet
all kinds of people. Nice people,
not so nice peop.e and unpleasant
people. Fortunately, the latter are
few and far between.
But you meet lots of nice people
Among the nicest I have met is
Winnie.
Winnie used to work at the
Overwaitea, a comer store on the
main street of Kaslo, just across
the road from the B.C.S.C. school.
She is small as hakujin go,
standing only about five feet <v.e
and tipping the scale at approxi
mately 105 lbs. She ha? a small
pert face liberally sprinkled with
freckles and a pair of twinkling
brown eyes, a nice disposition and
lots of personality.
We used to shop there every day
and always asked for new menus
for our dinners. Many times we
have come out of the store loaded
down with groceries which we did
not have the slightest inkling of
how to cook or prepare. But we
struggled along with the sugges
tions somehow and we always went
back for more new ideas.
She left Kaslo to work in Cal
gary a few months ag-o. She is
back for a two weeks’ holiday and
visiting her mother. She is still
the sure Winnie.
She has not
changed a bit. Her Irish humor is
still as keen as it was and her
eyes twinkle as they used to
Laughingly she told me that she
is now cooking her own meals.
“It’s pretty grim Trying to figure
out meals, I appreciate what you
fellows have to go through,” she
said.
We chatted about old times and
exchanged bits of gossip and in
the course of conversation, sne
asked me whether I knew anv
Japanese in Calgary. I sa’d I do
not.
“At Un st on^e everv dev. I see a
ladv and'girl, they must be mother
and daughter', who nass bv 0c1 the
street -where wo live. Tbev look
familiar and I think they recog
nize mo. But I’m not sure. S^verM
times. I’ve met them on the street.
Each time I see them I want to
sav something to them because T
th -1* I h-mv <bom and mt I’d
feel foolish if I said something
and they didn’t . know me,” she
said.
Winnie will leave for Calgary
this weekend. And when; she gets
there, I hope she nieets with the
lady and the girl and I hope she
will sav hello and make their
acquaintance
because ......... well
just because .........
And then there is Mr. AUsebrook. He lives out on Shuttv
Bench where he runs a tourist
cabin resort.
He is well known to evacuees in
Ka^U and New Denver alike.
His thin figure walking down
the street is a familiar sight to
Kzsloites. An artist, he has paint
ed countless numbers of Kootenay
scenery. One of his more recent
paintings has been offered by him
to be raffled off, the proceeds of
which are to go to the New Den
ver Sanatorium Patients’ Fund.
Nisei have visited his tourist re
sort and have had their faces pen
cil-sketched.
He has been active in supporting
the cause of the fight for equality
of the Nisei as citizens of Canada.
He has many friends among the
evacuees in Kaslo and New Denver
and we will not forget him in the
years to come.

Montrealers Wind Up 5 Pin League
With Bang Up Banquet and Dance
By TAMI
MONTREAL, P. Q.
The Montreal Nisei Mixed 5 Pin
Bowling League galloped down the
home stretch drive to complete its
league schedule, then went on to
conclude the season by running
over its playoff series in an overawesome climactic crescendo. Such
was the tempo of the league as its
teams fought rapidly to secure the
ownership of the first champion
ship of its era.
Despite the pattern copied from
the impressive success of Mitz
Nozaki’s huge Nisei mixed league
back in Vancouver, the Montreal
league underwent a. mill of diffi
culties and troubles intensified by
the inconveniences of the. new pre
sent mode of wartime living con
ditions and at one time, was
threatened with a complete break
up. But the enthusiasm and attend
ance of the participants hardly
faltered and spirited the league
through to success.
The aftermath
revealed
the
great Wakisaka's No. 7 team sit
ting on top to become claimant to
the "grand champion throne. In a
banquet held on April 22 at the
Astor Cafe, celebrating the official
closing of the season, following
the final contest, each member of
the winning team became proud
possessors of separate figurehead
ed trophies. Mrs. G. Lunn, local
placement officer, with well-wished
blessings, presented the various
trophies and prizes to the champ
ions and other individual winners.
The Wakisaka’s came up to take
the title after- hanging on to sec
ond place in a jittery finish. They
regained their old composure in
the playoff
matches to come
through in a torrid heat and drub
bed their opponents in a thor
oughly convincing manner and left
no doubt as to. who should be the
champions. In a. total point 3 game
(Please Turn to Page 8)
ON THE CUFF—Five Montreal
ers have joined the ranks of the
Canadian
-Armed Forces
here.
Three of them are bowling leaguers. They are Tad Goto, Frank
Matsubuchi, and Kiyoshi “Chumbo” Kaneda. The other two are
Barney
Tonegawa
and
Butch
Watanabe. They have left for Ontarii to join the volunteers down
there. Here is further proof that
athletes make Canadians, and this
should serve to alleviate
the
feelings of a certain group of apprehensionists who bemoan the
thought that gathered recreational
Nisei activities are detrimental to
ward that cause......... The 9 cap
tains. who formed the league com
mittee and who also gave their
extra time and effort, arc much to
be commended in putting the lea
gue over. Special praise go to Mas
Ishihara, Steve Ebata and Roy
Hayashi who were responsible in
forming the league .... The matri
monial man and wife act seemed
to have played a prominent part in
the league. They formed a strong
nucleus for many of the teams.
The best of them were Steve and
Pat Ebata. The others were Roy
and Dot Hayashi, and Ross end
Lorraine Akazawa, all leading
bowlers......... Young Dick Takeuchi,
a hitherto unknown player, has
substantially established himself as
a big time player. Consistently hit
ting around the 200 mark, he end
ed up with an impressive 198 aver
age. Another newcomer to the
bright light is Shine Akiyama who
really did some bright shining ....
.Mrs. G. Lunn, well-liked for her
amiable personality and for her
sincere effort to help local Nisei,
made a big hit at the banquet
where she attended as a guest of
honor. In her short speech she
commented to the boys about the
possible arrival of more girls, to
which there was a sudden loud
clamouring- howl. Shadow Naka
tsuka, upon receipt of his team’s
cash prize, got a big ovation
for his sportsmanlike statement
when he said that his team was
beaten by a better team......... The
banquet was attended by a large
crowd and everybody enjoyed the
dance which followed. Yes, every
thing turned out to be a bang-up
success, and everyone seemed sat
isfied with the completion of the
league’s first year of competition.
It seems sad that it’s all over now

And then there is Mr. AUsebrook. He lives out on Shuttv
Bench where he runs a tourist
cabin resort.
He is well known to evacuees in
Ka^U and New Denver alike.
His thin figure walking down
the street is a familiar sight to
Kzsloites. An artist, he has paint
ed countless numbers of Kootenay
scenery. One of his more recent
paintings has been offered by him
to be raffled off, the proceeds of
which are to go to the New Den
ver Sanatorium Patients’ Fund.
Nisei have visited his tourist re
sort and have had their faces pen

He has been active in supporting
the cause of the fight for equality
of the Nisei as citizens of Canada.
He has many friends among the
evacuees in Kaslo and New Denver
and we will not forget him in the
years to come.

Montrealers Wind Up 5 Pin League
With Bang Up Banquet and Dance
By TAMI
MONTREAL, P. Q.
The Montreal Nisei Mixed 5 Pin
Bowling League galloped down the
home stretch drive to complete its
league schedule, then went on to
conclude the season by running
over its playoff series in an overawesome climactic crescendo. Such
was the tempo of the league as its
teams fought rapidly to secure the
ownership of the first champion
ship of its era.
Despite the pattern copied from
the impressive success of Mitz
Nozaki’s huge Nisei mixed league
back in Vancouver, the Montreal
league underwent a. mill of diffi
culties and troubles intensified by
the inconveniences of the. new pre
sent mode of wartime living con
ditions and at one time, was
threatened with a complete break
up. But the enthusiasm and attend
ance of the participants hardly
faltered and spirited the league
through to success.
The aftermath
revealed
the
great Wakisaka's No. 7 team sit
ting on top to become claimant to
the "grand champion throne. In a
banquet held on April 22 at the
Astor Cafe, celebrating the official
closing of the season, following
the final contest, each member of
the winning team became proud
possessors of separate figurehead
ed trophies. Mrs. G. Lunn, local
placement officer, with well-wished
blessings, presented the various
trophies and prizes to the champ
ions and other individual winners.
The Wakisaka’s came up to take
the title after- hanging on to sec
ond place in a jittery finish. They
regained their old composure in
the playoff
matches to come
through in a torrid heat and drub
bed their opponents in a thor
oughly convincing manner and left
no doubt as to. who should be the
champions. In a. total point 3 game
(Please Turn to Page 8)
ON THE CUFF—Five Montreal
ers have joined the ranks of the
Canadian
-Armed Forces
here.
Three of them are bowling leaguers. They are Tad Goto, Frank
Matsubuchi, and Kiyoshi “Chumbo” Kaneda. The other two are
Barney
Tonegawa
and
Butch
Watanabe. They have left for Ontarii to join the volunteers down
there. Here is further proof that
athletes make Canadians, and this
should serve to alleviate
the
feelings of a certain group of apprehensionists who bemoan the
thought that gathered recreational
Nisei activities are detrimental to
ward that cause......... The 9 cap
tains. who formed the league com
mittee and who also gave their
extra time and effort, arc much to
be commended in putting the lea
gue over. Special praise go to Mas
Ishihara, Steve Ebata and Roy
Hayashi who were responsible in
forming the league .... The matri
monial man and wife act seemed
to have played a prominent part in
the league. They formed a strong
nucleus for many of the teams.
The best of them were Steve and
Pat Ebata. The others were Roy
and Dot Hayashi, and Ross end
Lorraine Akazawa, all leading
bowlers......... Young Dick Takeuchi,
a hitherto unknown player, has
substantially established himself as
a big time player. Consistently hit
ting around the 200 mark, he end
ed up with an impressive 198 aver
age. Another newcomer to the
bright light is Shine Akiyama who
really did some bright shining ....
.Mrs. G. Lunn, well-liked for her
amiable personality and for her
sincere effort to help local Nisei,
made a big hit at the banquet
where she attended as a guest of
honor. In her short speech she
commented to the boys about the
possible arrival of more girls, to
which there was a sudden loud
clamouring- howl. Shadow Naka
tsuka, upon receipt of his team’s
cash prize, got a big ovation
for his sportsmanlike statement
when he said that his team was
beaten by a better team......... The
banquet was attended by a large
crowd and everybody enjoyed the
dance which followed. Yes, every
thing turned out to be a bang-up
success, and everyone seemed sat
isfied with the completion of the
league’s first year of competition.
It seems sad that it’s all over now

Scout Master: “Yes.”
Second Patrol Leader: “Do you

emphatically:
“Yes!”
First Patrol Leader: “Sir, do we
have to wear short pants?”
Scout Master: “YES!”
Second Patrol Leader: “Do we
have to wear short pants?”
Scout Master:
“YES! YES!
How many dozen times must I
tell you that short pants are part
of your uniform?”
First Patrol Leader: “Too manyy
times sir.”
Scout Master: “All right now...
What’s that?”
Second Patrol Leader (innocent
ly) : “Nothing sir.”
Scout Master: “A. 11 right now. I
want you to cut out all this non
sense and I shall expect to see you
in short pants in half an hour. Is
that clear?”
Patrol Leaders: ‘Wes sir.....
mumble......... mumble.”
Scout Master
(pugnaciously):
“What’s that?”
Patrol Leaders: “Nothing sir.”
Scout Master: “Ok-y. I’ll see you
in front of Headquarters in half

Scout
Master:
“Your, longdr av.ms? What for?”
Scout: “No sir. My long pants.”
Scout Master: “Oh your long
pants?”
Scout: “Yes sir, the Noseums are
terrific.”
Scout Master: “What kind of
language is that—Noseums?”
Scout: “Yes sir, Noseums.”
Scout Master: “It isn’t no see
urns, it is ‘can’t see them!”
Scout: “It’s Noseums sir.’
Scout Master: What! Are you
trying to 'contradict my gram
mar?”
Scout: “No sir. But it’s still
Noseums.”
Scout Master: “My dear boy,
must I remind you that I grad
uated from High School, how I
don’t know—but that’s beside the
point. It is still ‘can’t see them.’”
Scout: “Well, if yog say so sir.
However, I’ve never heard these
bugs called ‘can’t see them’.”
Scout Master: “Bugs? Who’s
bugs?”
Scout: “I didn’t say you’re bugs
sir. I just said that these bugs
which keep eating us alive, are
Noseums.”
Scout Master: “Oh! Heh, heh . ..
insects! "Why didn’t you tell me
that in the first mace? You silly
boy, Noseums indeed!”
Barring Noseums. however, the
Anniversary was quite a success
with awards being presented first,
followed by a weiner roast at
