Niseis Lobby for Elections Act Revision,
Removal of Ban from Crown Timber Lands
THEIR LIVELIHOOD AT STAKE
British Columbia legislature shortly will be asked to consider
whether the government should retain an old ban on the employment
of Japanese on crown timber lands.
If the legislature decides that the ban which is temporarily sus
pended at this time should remain in effect, it will mean immediate
unemployment for some 400 persons of Japanese origin in B.C., and
repercussions will extend to many hundreds of other Japanese Cana
dians in the province as well as to the forest industry.
Public opinion as well as common sense strongly condemns this
outdated racial regulation. And we are confident that the members
of the legislature will decide to end it once and for all.
It is widely agreed in British Columbia that the concentration of
Japanese in the coastal areas is undesirable and should be avoided in
i
the future. If this opinion is shared'by the elected representatives,
U^ then there is a practical consideration for permitting persons of
u Japanese origin to take employment freely in all parts of the
* province.
:
There could be no surer way of preventing Japanese Canadians
- from settling down outside the coastal areas, where they now are,
' . than by making their jobs insecure or by taking them away.
t
If 400 of them are banned from the woods, their attention would
' eertainly be drawn to the possibility of moving back to the jobs they
. held before the war, and that would in all probability involve return,ing to the coast. By the same reasoning, if other jobs which are now
5 closed to Japanese were to be opened, there would be an added in(\^ ducement to the Japanese for remaining wher they have been living
for the past six years or thereabouts. Such jobs, for instance, as in the
> tomes and in various types of public works projects.
The fact is commonly overlooked that the prewar concentration of
Japanese in certain industries and in certain areas was not necessar
ily by choice but by the limitation of their choice through legal re
strictions and social discrimination. Would university graduates prefer
to work as gardeners or farm workers or sawmill workers if other fields
were open? That, was the situation that faced the Japanese even
prior to the war.
According to the latest federal department of labor announcement,
L* there are only 6,291. persons of Japanese origin living in British
Columba—women and children included. They are scattered through
^: the Caribou country, the Okanagan and the Slocan valleys. They are

The Past President's Speech
For any large conference, a great deal of work must be done both in
; preparation as well as during the conference in order to make it a suc
cess. And it is usually the case that the bulk of this work falls on a few
individuals who are willing to devote their whole-hearted attention and
give unstintingly of their time on the matter.
One such key individual who helped to make the second national
conference of the JCCA such a success was the past president of the
organization, Mr. Roger Obata. For him and a few others, the conference
actually started two weeks or more before the sessions opened in Winni^^ Tlaey were busy with a series of sub-committee meetings, prepara
tions of briefs and agenda, etc., and this work was climaxed by a gruel
ling senes of day and night sessions during the conference.
Thus it was at the final session of the conference toe past president
was so exhausted by his effort and so relieved at having discharged his
heavy responsibilities that he was unable to deliver his closing message
to the delegates after having stood up to do so.
The New Canadian is pleased to print on this page Mr. Obata’s unfin
ished tribute which he had prepared to deliver. And at .the same time,
we wish to express the feelings of many in saying, “Well done Mr Past
President.”

On April 3, 1948, the Winnipeg
Free Press printed a lengthy
letter from Mr. Roy W. Brown,
editorial adviser to the Vancou

a

through an editorial. Mr. Brown’s

you will realize that the expulsion
of the Japanese from Pacific

trouble that could be caused by
the presence of even a very few
disloyal Japanese out of the 24,000
resident in the Vancouver area;
and, second, a general long-term
intention by the authorities to
“scatter” the Japanese across Can

what was re^ar^ed as the unT
Basketball Championship series, Greenood defeated the fighting* Vernon All-Stars, 57-34 and
■ m two games played here last week.
a
In the first game on Friday.
Apxil 2, .the red-hot locals, paced
by Hiro Mukai’s 20 points, rode
roughshod over the Vernon visitors. Vernon had a distinct handi. cap in playing on a court quite
different from their own. ^
Capitalizing on their specialty
; of fast plays, Greenwood led off
from the first few minutes and
; were never threatened as they
e rolled up a 34-16 lead at the half. way mark. The second half was a
i epetition so that Greenwood, was
ahead 23 points at the final
? whistle.
Hiro Mukai, Eugene Eujisawa
and Nobby Hashimoto '’ led the
Greenwood scorers
as they
chalked up 20, 12 and 10 points
respectively. Junji Kawaguchi
and Seichi Tahara topped Ver
non point-getters with 12 points
each.
Game clincher came with two
^^c^ baskets by Nobby Fujisawa
and Hiro Mukai. The final minute
was an anti-climax as Vernon
fought desperately for possession
of the ball.
Tosh Seki (2) and Nobby' Fujisawa (10) topped Greenwood scor
ing, while Seichi Tahara again led
Vernon with 11 points.
GREENWOOD: H. Mukai G, E. Pujisawa 4, Seki 12, N. Eujisawa 10. Hash

In the first game on Friday.
Apxil 2, .the red-hot locals, paced

To Become Annual Affair?
By TOYO
I'S MONTREAL.—The Easter weekend provided “T” davs
for Montreal Niseis with the first of the annual NNei basfetball tournaments on March 26-27. .With an entry from
; Boston. Mass., this was the first Nisei international* sports
event since the outbreak of the Pacific war. The city was
L 'host to well over a hundred Nisei visitors and to them, too,
go much of the credit for the bang-up success of the basket'bah series and the dance that followed.
"AThe games were of the highest
tfiibre, although the Toronto
especially the Bombers,
team
marked signs of wearir chfiTi
show
After the Bomber-Boston
- ness
one of the’ Bombers regammarked: "We were dead.”
2
- It was heartbreaking to see
the Mustangs nosed out by one
point, but the Boston five played
an inspired game and deserved
to win. The game, which kept
the fans at fever pitch to the
last second, was very similar to
the final Bomber-Mustang game
in Toronto, we are told.
'The Bostonians were the “dark
horss" team. We only knew they
were an entry in one of the city
leagues down in the Bean City.
Now we know! They were a smooth
‘and hard-working basketball team.
Tire Americans said they were
lucky to win. Only a week before
•a? New York Nisei team had made
a mumphant visit to Boston. But
the Bostonians rated Bombers as
strenger than the New Yorkers.
Said one of the American visitors: ‘‘The girls are swell, It
really surprised me when a
couple of the girls came up to

me for a dance.”
Bombers and Mustangs needed
no introduction, but it was the
first time even the local fans had
seen the Montreal team in action.
The players were hastily rounded
up when -the decision t'o enter a
Montreal team in the tourney was
made. From the showing that the
locals made, it’s evident that onljsome time together is all they need.
The local Nisei league folded up
due to a lack of players.
Tile dance which followed the
games was one of the largest to
be held in Montreal. Highlight
of the evening was the presen
tation of the MNAC Challenge
trophy by Yuki Uno, club vicepresident, to Jim Kimoshita of
Boston. The presentation was
preceded by the introduction of
all of the Boston players with
each man shyly stepping forword.
Ticket sale for the highly suc
cessful tournament was just short
of the 400 mark. It’s remarkable
but true that the organizing of
the series was almost a solo effort
of MNAC’s basketball and social
convener, Kaz Nishio..
,c’
Credit also goes to the members
of the local team who did so much
of the work required. Quoting Kaz,
we say, ‘‘We’re looking forward
to a bigger and better tournament
with our friends from Ontario and
south of the border next year.’

To Become Annual Affair?
By TOYO
I'S MONTREAL.—The Easter weekend provided “T” davs
for Montreal Niseis with the first of the annual NNei basfetball tournaments on March 26-27. .With an entry from
; Boston. Mass., this was the first Nisei international* sports
event since the outbreak of the Pacific war. The city was
L 'host to well over a hundred Nisei visitors and to them, too,
go much of the credit for the bang-up success of the basket'bah series and the dance that followed.
"AThe games were of the highest
tfiibre, although the Toronto
especially the Bombers,
team
marked signs of wearir chfiTi
show
After the Bomber-Boston
- ness
one of the’ Bombers regammarked: "We were dead.”
2
- It was heartbreaking to see
the Mustangs nosed out by one
point, but the Boston five played
an inspired game and deserved
to win. The game, which kept
the fans at fever pitch to the
last second, was very similar to
the final Bomber-Mustang game
in Toronto, we are told.
'The Bostonians were the “dark
horss" team. We only knew they
were an entry in one of the city
leagues down in the Bean City.
Now we know! They were a smooth
‘and hard-working basketball team.
Tire Americans said they were
lucky to win. Only a week before
•a? New York Nisei team had made
a mumphant visit to Boston. But
the Bostonians rated Bombers as
strenger than the New Yorkers.
Said one of the American visitors: ‘‘The girls are swell, It
really surprised me when a
couple of the girls came up to

me for a dance.”
Bombers and Mustangs needed
no introduction, but it was the
first time even the local fans had
seen the Montreal team in action.
The players were hastily rounded
up when -the decision t'o enter a
Montreal team in the tourney was
made. From the showing that the
locals made, it’s evident that onljsome time together is all they need.
The local Nisei league folded up
due to a lack of players.
Tile dance which followed the
games was one of the largest to
be held in Montreal. Highlight
of the evening was the presen
tation of the MNAC Challenge
trophy by Yuki Uno, club vicepresident, to Jim Kimoshita of
Boston. The presentation was
preceded by the introduction of
all of the Boston players with
each man shyly stepping forword.
Ticket sale for the highly suc
cessful tournament was just short
of the 400 mark. It’s remarkable
but true that the organizing of
the series was almost a solo effort
of MNAC’s basketball and social
convener, Kaz Nishio..
,c’
Credit also goes to the members
of the local team who did so much
of the work required. Quoting Kaz,
we say, ‘‘We’re looking forward
to a bigger and better tournament
with our friends from Ontario and
south of the border next year.’

TORONTO — Thirty-six mem
bers attended the March meeting of
the Young Married Couples group
on March 18.
The guest speaker was Dr. Mc
Intosh, who spoke on “Growth and
Development of the Pre-School
Child,” a topic which proved most
welcome in its enlightenment to
the sorely perplexed mothers and
fathers of the Sansei generation.
During the lively discussion which
followed, even the fathers dis
played a thirst for parental know
ledge.
Our April meeting will take place
on the 15th, 8.15 pm., in the Mor

Grand Forks JCCA
GRAND FORKS, B.C. — Reloca
tion eastward is still continuing
from this lonely interior town, and
the evacuee families, which num

their honor before their departure
on March 28 at the Province hotel
dining-room and they were each
presented with a token of appre

At an emergency general meet
ing held here on March 14, Shi
nichi Nakade was elected presi
dent and Takeshi Furuso was elec
ted secretary to replace the de
parting officers.

Young Married Group
Holds Social on 15th
TORONTO — Thirty-six mem
bers attended the March meeting of
the Young Married Couples group
on March 18.
The guest speaker was Dr. Mc
Intosh, who spoke on “Growth and
Development of the Pre-School
Child,” a topic which proved most
welcome in its enlightenment to
the sorely perplexed mothers and
fathers of the Sansei generation.
During the lively discussion which
followed, even the fathers dis
played a thirst for parental know
ledge.
Our April meeting will take place
on the 15th, 8.15 pm., in the Mor
ley Punshon room. A social for re
laxation and fun will be the program.

Discussion Series
By Montreal Group
MONTREAL—“Let’s Get To
gether,” a series of discussions
on Nisei problems will be pre
sented by the Montreal Nisei
Fellowship Group. The first in
^ series will be Nisei Person
ality and Social Conduct.”
What is the Nisei personality
. . . pleasant, interesting, affected,
boring? And social conduct .
well - mannered, poised, vulgar,
awkward? Common social situa
tions will be created and their
resolutions discussed. Come and
bring your pet peeves, problems,
and. friends to the Fellowship
meeting on Tuesday, April 13, at
8:15 p.m. at St. James United
Church and have them analyzed
(your problems, that is!)
On March 19, the Fellowship
Group enjoyed tremendously a
night of square dancing under the
direction of Mr. Lang, the caller.
The enthusiasm was such that all
sprouted wings on their feet and
hayseed in their hair as shirt
sleeved men swung their" ladies
home. By popular request, we are
planning another such evening in
May. Don’t miss - it!
