I Wanted Have you heard of Belulah
Ziebell, Canada’s champion pen
pal?
This twelve-year-old has
had over 145 letters in a month
from her pen pals all over the
world.
It all started when a
story about Belulah appeared in
an international magazine. In­
side of a few short weeks jhe
received
ieieers,
snapshots,
newspaper clippings, from boys
and girls in Greece, Mexico,
Trinidad, Peru, Chile and the
United States.

•'Really, I don’t know how she's

letters and more are coming in

Many Niseis will recall with pride their old Alina Mater
the University of British Columbia. If they should decide
o look in on U.B.C. today, they will find a vastlv different
situation from the pre-war era.

Acknowledgment

If figures mean anything. there
are 3,500 Nisei girls of marriageable age. This is in the 20 to 30
age group. Those 3,500 have only
2,800 potential Nisei husbands of
that age bracket.
It’s this scarcity of men that’s
adding those extra wrinkles for •
the girls, on top of that long-short
skirt controversy.
It’s no picnic you can be sure.

By KUTCH IMAYOSHI

Temporary Army huts line up
all along the West. Mall, around
Brock Hall, and behind the
Science Building, while just south
of the bus depot are a number of
bright, shiny, single-storey, semipermanent buildings.

What New York
Nisei Girls Say
I wanted to get the 'reaction of
the Nisei girls to the above situ­
ation, so I put the question to
some 35 lassies in the upper Man­
hattan area:
What is your reaction:
I expected a lot of gnashing
of pretty teeth, some flashes
of temperament, and perhaps a
small-fisted left hook thrown in
for good measure. For fresh in
my mind’s memory were the
cat-calls and boos from Man­
hattan girls at newsreel theatres
showing American GIs return­
ing with European brides.

There was no need to duck.
The Nisei girls took it like a
covey of trained seals. They rolled over and clapped their hands,

anxious to put up a fight for their

The Ishibashi dispenser is made

Ishibashi has already sent 6,000

soon.

"Sure, it‘s a good thing. Nisei
fellows should be free to marry

anyone of their own choosing—
Its natural for them to choose
Japanese brides
I see nothing
wrong with it.”

Of course, on a- task of this
nature, you have to look into the
person's eyes instead of merely
listening- to their lines. It's so
easy to say one thing- and feel
quite differently inside.
"Japan-born

make fine wives, It’s a natural
consequence to be expected.”
"There’s other fish in the
ocean and other men available,
so why should I worry?”
Live and let live is my motto.
Every man to his own poison.”
“Our mothers made fine wives
for our fathers and it should
hold true for the Niseis as well.”
“It all depends on the indi­
vidual case, but the Nisei feIlows won’t go far wrong with

many of the weddings were based

There are three conclusions to
be drawn from this survey of the
First, there is a distinct possibility that the future years
will see more than a proportionate number of Nisei spmsters.

Second, there is the possibility that inter-racial marriages
will increase among Nisei due
to the shortage of eligible-men.
Third, this New York poll
may be a little premature in
that
their Chicago or ■-west
coast cousins might feel -differently on this matter.

I'm not a prophet, nor would I
care to hazard a guess.
Perhaps 1 should consult one of
the several Nisei PhD candidates
in sociology at Columbia.
Anyway this is what they told
me.

This brings us to another phe­
nomenon.

simply weren’t enough women

Then, there’s the other side of

A few of the Nisei girls seem
to have a little bit of spunk, nerve,

They're against it. And they
are mad.

one Nisei lassie, “those Tokyo
girls were playing in their home
grounds and that gave them the
advantage. In a fair and square
contest, I’m sure the Nisei girl
would end up with the orange
blossoms and satin gowns.”

■‘Those Nisei GIs were just
bunch of kids who didn't know
the score.' They were away from
mama for the first time and for
that reason were lonesome for
anybody.”
“Yes. just wait till they return

JCCA Urges Claimants

TORONTO.—The national office of the Japanese Canadian Citizens
'Association emphasized this week the importance of claimants paying
their one percent retaining fee when making application to the Co­
-operative Committee to handle their claims.

ant is destitute and cannot pay

The JCCA also issued the fol­
lowing instructions
concerning
the completing of claims forms:

1. Joint Owners. Where prop­
erty is held jointly, each owner
should file his own claim, and
should communicate with
the
other joint owner and agree on
the fair market value of the prop­
erty. The whole value of the
property and the value of his in­
terest should then be shown in
section 4(e).
2. Husbands and Wives. Where
they have separate property, they

4. Fishing Vessels and Gears.
Although the terms of reference
include only the fishing vessels
which were not disposed of by the
Committee set up by the original
order-in-council P.C. 2S8, of Jau.
13, 1942, claimants are neverthe­
less advised to include all fishing
vessels,. and if the claims are
ruled out by the fact that the
sales were made by the Commit­
tee, further representations may
be made to the Government to
expand the terms of reference.
5. Deceased Persons. Where a
claimant has died while resident
in Canada, the person who has
been appointed personal repre­
sentative should fill in the forms;
or if no such person has been
appointed, then the next of kin
should fill in the forms.

6. Where the property has not
been sold by the Custodian and is
still in his custody, the claimant
is advised to make claims for
losses based on the estimated
present day fair market value.
7. All claims which do not spe­
cifically come under Section 4,
Real Estate, as indicated in Sec­
tion 4(c), should be claimed un­
der Section 5, Personal Property
(e.g., loss of farm crops, fishing

ONTARIO.—The following bul­
letin was issued by the national
office of the JCCA on Nov. 12.
“Should claimants find it impos­
sible to .file their claims before
the November 30 deadline set by
the Commissioner, they are re­
quested to notify their provincial
JCCA chapter of this matter
through their loca lorganization
in order that such definite inforfnation from claimants themselves
as to the inadequate filing time
may be forwarded to the National
JCCA office during the LAST
WEEK in November.

“All local organizations should
be prepared to send the above in­
formation to their provincial
JCCA headquarters in order that
it may be sent by letter, or tele­
gram to the national office.”
This information is expected to
strengthen the JCCA's position in
requesting a reasonable extension
of filing time from, the Commis­
sioner.
