eight
■months. While in Australia he
had the task of monitoring radio
broadcasts from Japan. Besides
the three Canadian Niseis there
were several American Nisei GIs
also doing the same type of work
so the boys didn’t lack com­
panions. According to George, the
regular American GIs are the best
bunch of guys in the world and
he met a large number of them in

The judges were Tomie Kubokawa
and Nobukatsu Aoki. According
to the judges the boys lost because
they didn’t stand up straight,
otherwise the points advanced
were about equal. Some interest­
ing arguments were put forward
and even got to a place where the
boys were calling the girls some
notorious names for spending the
money that men earned. The girls,
always great tongue-lashers, re­
sponded strongly and the debate
became a pleasant free-for-all,
which everyone enjoyed.
Earlier in February, the same
club staged a skatins party at the
local ice-palace. Allowing the
skating, refreshments were served
at the hall.

Hobbies. Some of the things
that the members would like to do
are having skating parties, roller

boys going in for photography,
record collecting, stamps, scrap

The girls spend their time tn

Debate; Fete
Nan Koyanagi
LONDON. Ont.—An interesting
debate was presented at the last
meeting of the London Japanese
Canadian Group. The topic was,
"Resolved that discrimination is
caused
by
economic Factors,
rather than Racial Prejudice."
The winning affirmative team
was comprised of Toyo Fushimi.
Alariko Tokunaga and Fred Sun­
ahara and the negative team, of
Yoshiko -Tanabe. Blackie Okuno
and Keizo Otani.
The judges were Aliss Durant
and Aliss Brandon, teachers at the
Central Collegiate, and Rev. AV. A.
Walden. The latter, speaking for
the judges, commented on the evi­
dent research and preparation
that had gone into the making up
of the debate. This being Rev.
Walden’s' first contact with the
Nisei, he emphasized his surprise
at the excellence of the English
used.
.
The debaters were undoubtedly
the ones who derived the most
benefit. They have delved into an
interesting and complex subject
and they will probably continue to
study and argue the question.
