At Lethbridge Conference

By KASEY OYAMA

The following article continues
the account of a tour under­
taken last fall through Alberta
and British Columbia.

V

.

The Pacific Great Eastern Rail­
way starts at Squamish, passes
through Bridge River and Lillooet
district and goes up info the Tay­
lor Lake country.
You don’t get the impression
that PGE is big business, and you
can guess why it loses money.
The PGE is like a neighborhood
railroad serving a not too rich dis­
trict. It drags its important box

cars and a few antiquated gas-lit
coaches through steep valleys and
along ledges hacked out of solid
rock.
The PGE is hardly ever on time.
It jokes with its customers along
the route, and I suspect it even
stops for lunches.
It only makes a one-way trip
each day. One day it goes north,
and the following day it chugs
back to Squamish with the lumher and pulpwood and farm pro­
ducts.

Scenery Is More Primeval
There is something that marks
off the scenery of the PGE coun­
try from other British Columbia
scenes. Here one feel-s something
• more primeval. The lakes are
more mysterious and the moun­
tains, though not high, seem to
hide a savage spirit. And inci­
dentally, scenery is an important
asset of this country, attracting
many tourists and vacationists to
the numerous summer resorts.
I took a trip up the PGE line
for two reasons. I wanted to pay
a call on Mr. Etsuji Morii whom,
I had heard, was operating a saw-

I was curious about the man. I
wanted to know what his plans
were for the future, and what he
thought of the past.
Mr. Morii is a short slight man
about 59 or 60.
He received me cordially and
with perfect courtesy when I
called on him and introduced myself. He is completely unassum­
ing, and his Japanese-style humil­
ity made me feel a little awkward.
He possesses a quiet confidence
and “ochitsuki.” I thought I de­
tected a steely glint in his eyes
sometimes, making it easier for

I asked Mr. Morii whether he
thought someone would assume
the “boss” role in the post-war
Japanese communities.
Mr. Morii did not think so. The
important thing was that the con­
servative Isseis who were the core
of the pre-evacuation Japanese
community had been forced to un­
dergo a change of heart. At least

LETHBRIDGE, Alta.—The Alberta Chapter of the Jap­
anese Canadian Citizens Association was formed on Dec. 26,
when over 100 persons attended a conference sponsored
jointly by the Southern Alberta Youth Council and Isseis
representing Magrath Welling; Raymond, Stirling’ and
Coaldale. Individuals from other districts were also present

Counsel Needed
At Hearings
Says Tamaki

I knew he had been the most in­
fluential man in the pre-evacuation
Japanese - community. He was
feared and respected at the same
time. Many were indebted to him
for different reasons. And many
used to whisper about his hidden
activities, and hfe alleged connec­
tions with the RCMP.

me to imagine him as a one-time
boss and a master of the "velvet
glove” method.
I asked him point blank what
he thought about the Black Dra­
gon investigations. He did not
make any direct effort to justify
himself. He described his thoughts
on the matter in some detail, and
concluded by saying that he had
remained in Canada since he was
about 14, so that he could hardly
be considered eligible for mem­
bership in an exclusive and secret
organization like the Black Dra­
gon Society.
He said he intended to rem; *.i
at the S3-mile camp for some
time.
He was running a sawmill on
contract, basis for a big lumber­
man named Devine.
He enjoyd Devine's confidence
and he was having a house built
for him. He was getting on in
years too.

it was so in Mr. Morii's case. The
welfare of Japanese Canadians did
not lie in the direction of main­
taining a tie with Japan but in
the direction of co-operating with
other Canadians, he said.

Mr. Morii said he was in favor
of the activities of the JCCA.

As I took leave of Mr. Morii. I
wished him well in his new venture and his new world. I believe
he is not unhappy in his present
work, and that he has no desire of
making a come-back on the pre­
war pattern. Even if he did, it
would be futile since the old pat­
tern no longer exists.

TORONTO.—The importance. of
claimants being represented by
counsel when presenting their
cases before the Commissioner
was stressed in a report to the
National JCCA by George Tamaki
who represented the National
JCCA at the preliminary hearing
on property losses inquiry held in
Vancouver oh Dec. 3.
Mr. Tamaki's report, which ap­
pears in the latest issue of the
National JCCA bulletin, explains
that the government and the Cus­
todian will be represented by
counsel, and the claimants must
present their case in the best
light without taking up too much
time- of the Commission.
The report adds: “It may be
that some claimants feel that
the only requirement is to ap­
pear before the Commission and
state their case. They fail to
realize, however, that although
ih’s inquiry will not be conduct­
ed as in court, there are such
matters as valuation, etc., whijh
will definitely have to be proven
by the claimants and the presen­

tation of a claim means more
than giving one’s opinion of the
amount of losses which he has
suffered.”

Mr. Tamaki's opinion is shared
by the Co-operative Committee's
legal counsel.

Nor is it by any means certain
that the JCCA will have the full

support from the Niseis.

However, the new body hopes
to be the nucleus of a group which
will support the program of the
National JCCA.
The purpose of the conference—
to set .up the Alberta chapter of
the JCCA—was explained by Mas
Sunada, president of the Youth
Council and chairman of the conference.
EXECUTIVE "OFFICES

The conference decided that the
executive offices of the Alberta
chapter shall consist of the following: president, two vice-presi­
dents, two recording secretaries,
executive secretary, treasurer, and
three auditors. Also on the execu­
tive committee will be two repre­
sentatives from each district.
ft was decided to elect six Nis­
eis and four Isseis for the ten
executive offices. The elected per­
sons will then determine among
themselves the suitable allocation
of offices.

PANEL DISCUSSION

A panel discussion was held.
with Nisei and Issei participants
on the purpose, function, and.
structure of the national and pro­
vincial JCCA bodies.
It was stressed by the speakers
that while Japanese Canadians
were fighting for their rights^,
they were not aware enough of:
'their duties and responsibilities:
as citizens, and that they lack po­
litical awareness and social con-*
sciousness.
To remedy this lack and to
speed the assimilation, an extens-ive educational program for both..
Isseis and Niseis should be under­
taken, it, was stated.
Attention was directed to the
fact that Japanese Canadians in

Albera are still denied the fran­
chise, that they are excluded
from mothers’ allowance, hospi­
tal benefits, that they are not

able to secure business licenses
readily.

In fighting for these normal
rights of citizenship, a national
body would be a valuable and
strong medium, it was stated.
The drafting of the constitution
was left to the executive commit­
tee; it will be presented to the
assembly for ratification.

Court Grants Citizenship
Papers After Long Wait
Four persons of Japanese origin, formerly aliens, were
recently granted Canadian citizenship papers, according to
reports received this week by The New Canadian.
They are:
Alan Shosaku Ozawa, Toronto.
Stephen Atsumi Kamino, Toronto.
Kinzie Tanaka, Toronto.
Dr. George Chikao Hori, Montreal.

Mr. Shosaku Ozawa was the
first of the four to receive life
certificate. He appeared before a
judge at the Toronto City Hall on
Dec. 22, 1947, to swear his oath
of allegiance to King George VI
of Canada and to receive his certificate.
He applied for naturalization
before the war and a hearing was
held for him in New Westminster.
B.C., in Sept. 194k. Judge White­
side, who presided at the hearing,
approved the applicant with com­
mendation.
The war intervened, and in
Feb. 1947, Mr. Ozawa wrote to
Ottawa inquiring what had hap­
pened to his application for citizenship. The reply stated that the
matter could not be considered at
the time.
Mr. Ozawa wrote again immedi­

There was delay, also, in the
granting of citizenship to Mr. S.
A. Kamino and Mr. Kinzie Ta­
naka, according to the National

The reply to the second letter
was received in July 194 7. It explained that the war had interfered with the normal procedure"
of naturalization, but that Oza­
wa's case would be investigated
by the RCMP and if everything
was found in order the citizenship
papers would be issued immedi­
ately.

Under the heading, “National
JCCA Needs Greater Support in
the West,” in the last issue -of
The N.C. correspondent, James
Hori, brought to light the situa­
tion existing in the Y est m re­
gards to the JCCA. Though the
report was not as detailed as the
“distrusted” leaders of the Na­
tional JCCA had hoped for, it did
give a general idea of the situa­
tion.
To the credit of the Western
Nisei, Mr. Hori reported that they
showed .considerable support for
the JCCA. That many Issei feel
so antagonistic to the organiza­
tion seems most unreasonable. If
they have any criticisms, it would
be of great aid to the JCCA to
hear them. It is most unfair to
condemn the well-meaning efforts
of their sons and daughters, thus
jeopardizing the success of the
‘organization that has been formed
with the sole intention of better­
ing the lot of Canadians of Japa­
nese descent as well as those of
other minorities.
It should be expected that the
Issei would advise and guide the
Nisei who are trying to create a
machine with which to success­
fully combat unfair discrimina­
tion. It is what the Nisei leaders
who set up the JCCA had hoped
for. Will the Issei fail them?

Troybio in Soythsrn Alberta
Although we have tried to report impartially the varied reports
received from southern Alberta, we. have hitherto refrained from
making our comments. The reason for this is that ve felt the state
of evacuee politics in Alberta is rather complicated and we.were not
certain that we had sufficient pertinent information on Which Lo

base sound opinions.
t>
However, with the formation of a JCCA chapter in that pros nice
and the probability of continued rift in opinion, it may be useful to
attempt an analysis of the situation on the basis of information at
hand.
Broadly speaking, southern Alberta is divided into two opposing
camps. On the one hand there is the Southern Alberta Youth Council
which is not a representative Nisei body, but which enjoys consider­
able support among Niseis around Lethbridge and Raymond.
The Youth Council also has the increasing support of Issei groups
in Raymond and nearby districts.
On the other hand, there is the Southern Alberta Joint Committee
which technically represents the whole of Southern Alberta, but whim
is actually dominated by aggressive leaders from the Pictuie ButteTron Springs area.
Of the two groups, the Joint Committee* is consideiabiy moie in­
fluential and representative.
The chief differences between the two groups are, (a) the question
of whether Isseis or Niseis should supply the leadership, and (b) the
difference of opinion on matters of policy and the resulting lack of
confidence in each other.
The Youth Council group feels strongly that Niseis should assume
the greater share of leadership and that the Isseis should play the
supporting and advisory r.oles. 1 he Joint Committee membeis say
that they are glad to hand over the leadership to the Niseis if the
Niseis show a greater willingness and capacity to accept responsi­
bilities.
In the question of policy the difference of opinion appeals to aiise
from, the conservatism of the Issei; group Mud the radicalism—or
progressiveness—of the Niseis.
It is probably’ true that the Isseis of southern Alberta are more
conservative than the Isseis in other provinces, and the Niseis of
southern Alberta are on the whole much younger and less experienced
in leadership than the Niseis of other provinces.
How this wide gap between the two groups can be bridged, we
^are not prepared to say.

FUTURE OF THE
NATIONAL JCCA

The National JCCA is only four
months old. It has no impressive
record of achievement yet, as the
J ACL to the south has gained. It
' has no past record, but it should
have a future.
The JCCA is not an-Eastern
organization.
The JCCA was
created by Nisei across Canada
who were anxious to better the
lot of the Japanese Canadians.
The Nisei behind the JCCA have
suffered the injustices of the
evacuation along with the others.

What’s so Versus about a Career?

A?_ i

Have you ever had a date that
stands out in your mind above
others? You must have! There
are some that I have had' that I
remember—some with tenderne
some with joy—but oh! let me
tell you of one that 1 remember

His

Glen,
and
honestly, he was as his name
may suggest, the very proto-

type of that divine hero, Glenn
Ford . . . tall, dark, rugged and

handsome, and a bit, shall we
say . . . mysterious.
In short,
he was the strong and silent
type.

When he came to Montreal, all
the girls looked and swooned.
Naturally, through our specialized
system, we found out all about
our hero. He had evacuated from
anconver■ to New Denver, and
then had come’ to Montreal, His
ambition was to become an en-gineer,-and he was working at
Bapco’s. But golly, much to the
chagrin of our wilting hopes, we'
also learnt that he was the pro­
verbial woman-hater.

Well, anyway, you can understand how excited I was when he
called me, of all people, for a
date. My ego was inflated till it
nearly- burst, for I was the envy
of all my fellow swooners.
I was ready half an hour ahead
. of time after getting the whole
house in a bedlam. Then, of
couise, at eight o’clock when he
arrived, I naturally had to make
him wait for 15 minutes-—’cause
that’s the custom.
Well, we left the house and
everything seemed just fine.
Then just as we were about to
get on the Van Horne car,

several acres.

They make a crack professional
team that has yet to experience a
clash of personalities or tempera­

extends over into their non-profess ion al lives.

"It was the biggest thrill I everhad," Iwasaki recalls.
Thereupon he began to save his
nickels to buy a camera. His first

time sold for 39 cents, plus a dime
for each roll of film. This av-is

When Avar came in 19-11, Iwa­

thence io Heart Mountain.
Since cameras were werboten,
he headed fdr the hospital where

struction Avas just a lot of Greek
to the medicos, who were too
busy anyway so they were only
too glad to turn the job over to
the kid from San Jose who was
nuts about anything photographic.
When WRA finally permitted
the use ol cameras in the camp
Iwasaki got his apparatus out of
custody and began the task of
documenting camp life. Thus he

a call for an evacuee photographer

It was in Denver that Iwasaki

Before 1942, Vancouver was the
recognized centre of Japanese
Canadians. For Christmas ’47 the
stage was set very differently.
After six eventful years, the
accepted hub of Japanese Cana­
dian society had shifted over two
thousand miles to Toronto.
The arrival of 1948 was cele­
brated by Toronto’s 5,000 adopted
Japanese Canadian children who
showed discernible signs of hav­
ing become settled. Many fami­
lies had made a major resettle­
ment move in 1947 by purchasing
homes despite the high prices.
Many are venturing into private
enterprises. All indications point
to a step-up of rehabilitation in
1948 by the evacuees who now
call Toronto “home."

TORONTO.—Two dances stole the spotlight in Nisei
Toronto’s holiday season.
The first was the mammoth dance sponsored bv the
Toronto Metiopolitan Y .P. at the Masaryk on the 25th. Four
iiundred couples danced to the popular music of Stan Portch
and his orchestra.
On New Year's I
at the
Labour Lyceum, the JCCA spon­
sored a welcoming part)' for in­
fant .’48. Two hundred couples in
festive hats and armed with
an assortment- of noise-makeis
danced '47 out and ’48 in to the
tunes of Benny Louis and his
orchestra playing the Glenn Milletstyle of music.
Besides the many smaller and
private dances and parties was
the Teen-agers’ Ball, attended by
300 Teen-agers and some slightly
.older Niseis on New Year’s Eve.
The ladies in lovely gowns look­
ed especially beautiful at these
functions.

north — these
outstanding
items on a long list of undertak­
ings now underway which call for
vast expenditures of capital in the
current year.
As the New Year dawns, we
believe that now is a good time
to suggest that we ourselves in
Lillooet should have our own pro­
gram of improvements if we are
to keep pace with the larger in­
dustrial one which is underway.
Construction of the Lillooet air­
port at the mouth of Cayoosh
Creek should have first priority
on the public works needed in the
immediate vicinity. . . .

ST. THOMAS, Ont.—Over one hundred dancers throne- '
the gaily-decorated Alma College gym on New Year/ F
December 31, 1947, to welcome in the New Year at-;
St. Thomas Nisei Club’s big holiday dance.
