government wrecking crews were ready to start on its demo­
lition in a program to salvage lum­
ber for veteran housing. It is un­
derstood that new orders from
Ottawa has delayed that program.
All but four families have now
left the hostel. The remaining fam­
ilies— Sakai. Takamatsu, Ebata,
Nakamura, and llaina.de — have
either located housing and are
waiting to take possession or have
good prospects lined up. In the
meantime last minute, negotiations
have made possible the continua­
tion of electricity and water serv­
ice to the hostel for some time
longer.
On Sept. 27, nine families were
transferred from Transeona to
eastern hostels. Three families Takeda. Watanabe, and Shirahashi—totalling 17 persons, were
moved to Farnham hostel, from
where they are expected to relo­
cate into Montreal.
Six families — Takahashi, Ike­

Amemori—a total of -IS persons
were moved to a new hostel at
Angler. Onf.

Mr. C. B. Campbell, local De­
partment of Labour Japanese Divi­
sion's official, expressed satisfac­
tion with the manner in which
hostel residents tackled their
placement and housing problems,
and the co-operation shown by
them.
According to Mr. Campbell.

much better result titan he had
dared hope a month ago. when it.

On Sept. 20, a Japanese Angli­

Government Preparing Manual on
Acquiring Canadian Citizenship
OTTAWA—Newcomers to Canada in future will find it easier to
obtain Canadian citizenship as a result of a manual soon to be issued
by the Canadian citizenship branch of the state department, the Cana­
dian Press reported last week.
Entitled "How to Become a Canadian Citizen," the manual will be
handed to the immigrant when he files his Declaration of intention to
be naturalized.
The first half of the book is an explanation of the Citizenship Act
in laymen’s language. It also explains the legal steps that must be
taken. The other half is devoted to questions (and answers) a court
judge is likely to ask the immigrant.
Some of the questions are:
"Who acts when the governor-general is out of toe Dominion.
"Who is the chief advisor to the king of Canada. "M no pays the
salary of the lieutenant-governor of a province, "How are the Nortnwest Territories 2"overned. and "Can you spean the English or Frencn
language?”
Also to be issued is a brocnure entitled ‘'Canadian Cttizensnip.
explaining the new status Canadians will have when the Citizensnip
Act comes into effect 011 Jan. 1. ly-L.

WINNIPEG. MAN.. OCTOBER 5, 1946

A Pitfall to be Avoided

As a Canadian, albeit of Japa­
nese ancestry, I want to protest
against the racial fanaticism of
the Pacific Coast immigration
officer, responsible for the atrocious insult flung at Japanese
American soldiers wishing to visit
Vancouver.
There have been many attempts
by apologists for West Coast
racism who attempt to defend and
rationalize anti-Japanese feeling.
Witness the statement of Sir
Robert Holland of Victoria. B.C..
to the Anglican Synod in Winni­
peg. reported a few weeks ago.
But continued incidents similar to
this, or the shocking attitude dis­
played toward Japanese Canadian
servicemen at the Army's language
school, convince me more and
more that race prejudice has
spread like a poisonous disease
through the collective system of
Canada's West Coast. It is not
merely a prejudice. It is a disease
which has attacked the brain
centres, and anti-Japanese feeling
there is actually a frenzied, fan­
atical hysteria.

From Greenwood to Montreal, summer has again come
to an end. And with- the inevitableness of the seasons, the
columns of this newspaper burst forth in reports of reorganizational meetings, as varied groups assemble again in
anticipation of winter activities. Social, athletic, political
and religious—if one were to count, today’s total would
probably exceed the pre-evacuation figure by a considerable
margin.
Our concern over this phenomenon is an old story. But
its significance is such that to repeat an old warning may
be timely. W e recognize the very useful function that most
of our organized groups perform. In their social activities
they help to fill a serious emptiness in the lives of both first
and second generation, and they ease the process of adjust­
ment to new and strange surroundings. In their political
purpose, they help focus attention upon some grave in­
justices perpetrated as a matter of racial discrimination;
and they draw together for unified, effective action most of
those who are rightly anxious to correct these injustices.
But the pitfall into which all this organizational activity

and attention of many Niseis, may become an actual cause six months ago. Our $1.50 a day

of "hello," it's:

"You ain't kidding. We got

You know very well topping is
close. And you know and they
know how many acres each has.
You've only asked each other
about ten times since thinning.
Time marches on. It's Saturday,
just a few days before topping.
So you mosey into town, and . . .

“Yeah. We start on Wednesday.

You can see, we are never at a

more variations to these greetings
before topping is finished, but
we'll just skip that.
Now let's go topping.
