The Advent Season is drawing to its climax
now in the great festival of Christmas, and peo
ple in almost every country on earth are preparin? for its celebration. It is an ancient holiday,
“
gating Back many hundreds of years, even though
it was not celebrated by the earliest Christians,
and it has accumulated through the ages a vast
number of customs and ti aditions, theii oi igins
completely or partially lost in the darkness of
bistory.
•
There are the candles zve burn at Christmas,
because they look cheerful and warm, and we
little think that the candles were first placed in
the windows of Irish peasant cottages, to light
the way of the wandering Christ Child, out alone
in the cold of the heath, into their homes. There
is the trees, with its glittering decorations, the
result of an ancient tradition that on the night
of fesus’ birth all the trees of the forests bloomed
and bore fruit in honor of the Babe in the manger. In old England the people used to place
boughs of hawthorns in water before Christmas
so that when the great Day arrived, they would
be blooming in accordance with that tradition.
Then on the Continent artificial blooms were
used on evergreen trees, and the present fabu
lously decorated tree is the result.
There are many other customs connected
with this great day, and some are in honour to
the Christ Child, while others have little place in
a holy day. The same processes of time that
changed the name of the day from its original
"Christ’s Mass” to its present "Christmas” have
changed other things about the day as well. In
the early church, this was the only time when
the Mass could be celebrated at night, for tiadition said that Jesus was born at midnight, and
so it was called Christ’s Mass. That was the sig
nificant thing about the day —- Chtist was bom.
Time and custom, however, have a way of wear
ing off the more easily removed spiritual qua-
lilies of a day and leaving for posterity only the
tangible, hard-wearing habits of a people. So we
to-day have a world in which people of many
races and religions ' celebrate Christmas with equal
enthusiasm, for it has become a secular holiday,
a time of feasting and merriment, of inter-visit
ing and exchanging of gifts, of a rather nebulous
good-will among men having little effect on our
daily habits.
We like it to be that way. We complain of
the rush and fluster of the season, but we still
enjoy it. We object to the commercialization of
the day, but we know at heart that were the send
ing and receiving of cards and gifts to be abol
ished we would be unhappy indeed.-It is a part
of our lives, and without it we would feel that
something gay and exiting had been taken from
us.
Still, there is more to the day than the cards
and the parcels, the greetings and the parties. On
this day Christ was bom: Christ who means more
for the world, regardless of how one interprets
his person, than anyone else in the whole com
plex history of mankind. This 'day is not just
Christmas, not just Christ’s Mass even, but
Christ’s. Day. Standing as it does at the beginning
of the last week of the yea?, it reminds us at once
of what has gone into history now, and of what
yet remains to be lived. It bids us pause a mo
ment and think of the closing year, then with
high hopes founded on the fact of Christ’s birth,
to look forward to what is to come. Christ is
born: born to lead the world into peace, if we
will let him do so, and to show all people the
way to God.
Christ is born, in p'ain words, to show us
how to achieve the wish t.eat we all exchange
these days, and that I wish -for ou all, that you
may all have a truly Merry Christmas and a fully
Happy New Year.

TO THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
By J. J.
Supreme Spirit of Christmas, light my soul anew
With sweet, strange melody of the Celestial Sky;'
Blend not into the voices of men below,
But sing a silent song within me still.
To you, my restless thoughts take to flight;
Bring not the earthy things men call gifts,
Nor smiles of greeting veiled with evil intent.
Like the morning ray let me search your bi east,
My love flows to you in an ethereal stream,
Like warm tear drops o’er flowing my uplifted eyes,
Falling like Holy Benediction, into thy loving bosom.
Then I will abide in peace this Christmas Eve.
May your love sublime forever bloom.

SAGA OF THE
EARLIEST ISSEI
By TOYO TAKATA
Records tell us that the first Japa
nese immigrants came to settle in
Canada about the year 1890. Perhaps
this statement is misleading for it s
well known that at that time a number
of Japanese were found in and around
Vancouver and New Westminster work
ing as mill, hands or fishing off the
Fraser.
Its true that the first Japanese to
set foot on Canadian soil was a sea
farer by the name of Manzo Nagano
who jumped ship at New Westminster
in 1877, returned to the Orient a short time later, then came back again in
1883 to more or less settle on the
Canadian west coast. And by this tune,
he found that several others had, like
himself, stepped off the boat or had
come up from the United States.
NOT SETTLING TYPE
But they were not immigrants in the
true sense. An immigrant is one ■who
enters a country which is foreign to
him, for the purpose of settling there.
These first arrivals were by no means
settlers or intended to be such; they
happened to come up this way, found
that they could make a living here and
stayed. They were no more immigrants
than a shipwrecked sailor who remains
in the land near where his ship has
floundered. Tn fact there are even Isseis
here who have made their homes when
their ship was lost, or know of one
man who is Canadian because of such
a marine accident.
VANGUARD OF THOUSANDS
But immigrants or not, it can’t be
denied that they were the very first
to come to Canada from Japan, the
vanguard of the many thousands that
were to follow. It is unlikely,. however,
that they realized the significance of
their arrival here or dreamed that they
formed the beginning of the permanent
settlement of Japanese in Canada. And
it’s probable that they would not have
cared even if this had occured to them.
Frankly, these early birds, our first
Japanese to strike out in the new country
which was. barely two decades old at
the time, were a rough, tough, ill-bred
lot. Mainly seamen, they were in the
majority, illiterate, shiftless, uncouth
men who idled a great deal of the time
drinking and brawling. They were more
apt with their knuckles than -with their
head and when difficulties arose, they
were settled physically, rather than in
any diplomatic manner.
They rarely remained in one spot very
long, or stayed on a job. Very few of
them settled in Canada, they either re
turned to Japan or moved to the United
States coast which was opening up much
more rapidly and was certainly more
preferable to the lonely Canadian west
coast.
And they certainly had no lofty
ideals about pioneering or blazing the
trail or held allusions about opening up
the new land and paving the way. In
fact when the first “immigrants” came,
that was after a trans-Pacific shipping
service between Canada and the Orient
was inaugurated in 1889. It’s said that
they scoffed at these newcomers who
had to wait until a passenger service
was started, that they had no backbone
or adventuresome spirit.
FIRST WITH PAPERS
There is a story connected with this.
The first Japanese to come to Canada
“legally” with proper papers and cre
dentials and passing through customs
procedure was a learned but at the same
time, a rather pompous man by the name
of Momozaki who must have surveyed
the rough lot of Japanese in Vancouver
with disdain and mockery. They in turn
chided Momozaki who had come to this
continent to study its marine life, about
coming to Canada in this highly proper
manner that proved his lack of spunk
and refused to have anything to do with
him. It distressed the lonely scholar and
it was not until he bought them all free
drinks that they took him into their
company.
But it would be wrong to dismiss this
hardy but rather churlish group as just
a gang of rowdies and ruffians, they
were not entirely so. Some of them
eventually became prosperous business
men and leading citizens of the Japan
ese communities on the coast.
FRIEND OF INDIANS.
One of the most prominent among
them was one, Yasukichi Yoshizawa.
Unlike the .others, he is remembered,
by the Isseis who knew him as an eventempered and a just-man, well respected
by everyone. He became closely associ
ated ■with the native Indians of the
northern coast of British Columbia and
spoke their language so fluently that
he was regarded as their interpreter.
He won their admiration and at one
time a chieftain’s daughter was suggest
ed to him as a bride. It’s said that he
demurred.
Yoshizawa is credited with opening
up the fishing for the Japanese in nor
thern waters. He was the first to go
far north as the Skeena to investigate
fishing conditions there and led the
way for the Japanese fishermen into
this bountiful area.
The tale of his northward trip is one
of the epic adventures of the early Issei.
It was in the year of 1891 when Yoshi- ■
zawa was working at the Hastings Lum
ber Mill in Vancouver. The number of
Japanese was increasing rapidly and at

"Wide and wide are by bor

ruled alone for a million years
and a day;
Hugging my mighty treasure,

So wrote the' well known Ca

the poem, “The Law Of The
Yukon”. •
It is here in this land of lush

started at Whitehorse under the

We started surveying at the
beginning of the summer a few
miles northwest of Watson Lake
where they left off the year be

work, we established several
triangulation stations along a
stretch
of
two-hundred- mile
Alaska Highway with stations

located
away from the highway. This
meant travelling into the bush

Cultural Contribution to Canada
A NEW FIELD OF NISEI ENDEAVOUR
By REV. T. TSUJI
In the past half a decade a great
change has come over the Japanese
Canadian family and society. The Niseis
have matured. They are assuming po
sitions of responsibility at home and are
becoming leaders in the business and
social world. It is, therefore, of para
mount importance in this age of Niseis,
to reflect on our past, analyse the cul
tural progress and map out a course of
development best suited for the future
of ourselves and our country.
During the past fifty years two signi
ficant schools of thought directed the
cultural growth of peoples of Japanese
ancestry in. Canada. These schools were
comprised mainly of the first generation
Japanese with a number of the older
Niseis. Since the majority of the Niseis
were not of thinking age to uphold
either one of these thoughts, they fol
lowed the advice of the elders.
The one school, which had strong na
tionalistic inclinations' towards Japan
advocated the total retention of Japa
nese culture in the individual, family
and community life. These Japanese
judged moral conduct, social propriety,
and educational standard according to
the Japanese norm. For an immigrant
group, not fully accepted into the grea
ter Canadian life, it was perhaps ine
vitable that they had to refer constantly
to some familiar standard, the customs
and traditions of their native land.
Some Niseis were sent to Japan during their formative years to become
thoroughly Japanese. Others, whose fa
mily could not afford such a costly edu
cation, were enrolled in the local Japa
nese school in the hope that at least
they would not lose contact with the
Japanese language and civilization. In
some extreme views a model Nisei was
one who had successfuly mastered the
Japanese way of life.
TOTAL DISCARD
Equally extreme in outlook was the
other school which maintained that to
become fully Canadian a Nisei must
completely discard the Japanese back
ground. The criterion of judging good
citizenship in this school was not having
seen or known Japan and not being able
to speak the language. This school ve
hemently stressed assimilation. They
moved outside the Japanese community
so that they .and their families would
associate more freely with their Cau
casian friends. Some fostered the idea
of intermarriage as a quick way of los
ing the racial background and acquiring
Canadianism.
In the post war era we are suddenly
facing the reality of the inadequacy of
both these philosophies in directing the
course of our cultural evolution.
Why did these schools fail?
They failed because they based their
thinking on the premise that Canadian
culture was complete. The former school
contended that the culture they brought
from the old country was far superior
to that of their adopted land. The latter
school firmly believed in a hasty assi
milation into the prevailing mode of
life. They both neglected the youthful
ness of Canada, and her potentiality for
growth and development in all spheres
of national and international life.
In the words of Bruce Hutchinson,
“Canada is hidden in the dark and
teeming brain of youth upon the eve of
its manhood. . . It is strength and weak
ness, despair and joy, and the wild con
fusions and restless strivings of a boy
who has passed his boyhood but is not
yet a man.”
DESTINY IN YOUTH
The destiny of Canada, then, whether
in the industrial; economic or cultural
field, will have to be shaped by youth
ful hands and minds. Especially the cul
ture of Canada will have to be moulded
by the combined efforts of many men
and women from many racial extrac
tions. No group is too small that its
cultural contribution can be totally
ignored.
Herein lies the new field of Nisei en
deavour.
It is a very encouraging note that in
the recent Japanese American Citizen’s
League convention, which met in Chica
'
go with the theme “Blueprint for To
morrow”, and in the Japanese Canadian
Citizen’s Association Open Forum con
ducted across the country, the cultural
contribution of the Nisei in their respec
tive countries occupied an important
place in the future activity of these
two prominent and representative orga
nizations.
In this age there is a new spirit of
respect for new ideas. In science the
west still leads in the volume and im
portance of discovery but in the fine
arts, Oriental sensitivity is keenly ap
preciated. In the field of colour, for ex
ample, the west has developed a fine
contrast and harmony of two colours but
in China the corresponding harmony
and balance of three colours have been
successfully achieved.
I have a Nisei friend, a graduate of
the University of Minnesota in archi
tecture and now doing post graduate
work at Harvard, who intends to go to
Japan to study Japanese architecture.
He believes that a synthesis of the com
fort of the western styled home and the
Japanese home will create a new trend
in architecture.
Also, I have a few
friends here, students of Western phi
losophy, who eventually plan to go to
Japan to study eastern philosophy,
ethics and religion.

I haven’t seen both in groups
and alone, and having done so on
all accepted modes of convey
ance, plane, train, car and bus,
I find that I have learned a few
things about sightseeing travel.
Basically such a trip should
or in my case must, be under
taken writh the idea of seeing
“the mostest for the leastest” in
the shortest possible time. That
is, take in all you can without
having to wire home for money,
and not get back -before your
holiday, as well as your bank
book, runs out. So in travelling,
money, time and extent, are the
three points to be considered.
One has to go beyond the
500-mile limit before he is per
mitted to call it a trip and even
at that no one is particularly in
terested in what he did or where
he went. There’s no look of
amazement when one hears that

wife travels half fare. Most
and
airlines have adopted this plan.
A HAPPY & PROSPEROUS
Train is Comfortable
NEW YEAR
For the average traveller,
train is the most comfortable.
It has all the facilities of com
fort and rest. It can be just as
Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Kurata
expensive as plane travel if you
■357 Ellis Park Road
take a sleeper and buy meals.
Toronto, Ontario.
However, in groups of more
than two or if you like meeting
and joining in with fellow tra
vellers, then trains are best
suited for you.
Buses can be long and tiring
but you’ll see more of the route
as well as enjoy the passing
scenery, than on a train or
plane. No bus goes more than
three hours without stopping so
bus trips are not killing as some
people seem to believe.
To travel without worrying
about time and schedules, noth
ing beats at private car. By pool
ing running expenses, travel
costs can be cut to the minimum
if four or five persons are mak
ing the trip. You can make
stops where you please, make
side trips, and travel when you
feel like.
But a car can develop a defect
and jt becomes your headache,
not the Greyhound’s. On distant
trips, it’s the slowest. And it’s
not much use, and often a liability if you’re staying in a big
city for any length of time, Often it is better to get to ths
destination by other means and
then rent a car, particularly if
there are just two of you.
One thing I’d recommend when
on the road' is whenever it is
possible without losing too much
dignity, take your shoe off.
Your feet comes in very handy
when you’re sightseeing or
shopping anti you may as ■well
rest it up when you can. Also
don’t -wear your best, put on
something that you don’t mind
getting creased up or ■ grimy.
Then change when you arrive.
Plan First
No matter how you travel, it
is best to plan beforehand. While
indiscriminate and haphazard
trips with only your nose as
guide may have its happy-golucky and adventurous points,
keeping in mind the three basics,
it doesn’t work out. There should
be a semblance of organization

WHEN THE POWERS IN OTtawa haunted by quasi-patriotic
pressure groups acceded and
swung its wartime orders-in
council to boot the unwanted
22,000 out of the coastal areas
of British Columbia, they startted something. Their eastward
journey at the taxpayers’ ex

and converted them into baggage
hounds and travel bugs.
On the heels of their govern
ment-decreed oneway excursion
in 1942, they contacted an incur
able case of itchy feet and be
came intensely addicted to the
wandering habit. The more they
saw of new ’and distant places,
the more they thirsted to see.
And today, as a group, they are
perhaps the most travel-conscious people in Canada.
It’s not only the Nisei who
have the fever, the Isseis too
yearn to gad about the country.
Before all this started, they saw
little beyond their backyard

fruit they too have a craving for

there was a time when very few
of us ever thought of going to
Hope from Vancouver or up to
Parksville from Victoria ■which
were only 100 miles apart.
Today the Japanese are tra
velling back and forth between
Montreal and Toronto or going
as far as Moose Jaw in Saskat

out giving a thought. Kamloops
is much closer to Vancouver and
yet very few of us took that

ling for the sake of seeing what
I haven’t seen both in groups
and alone, and having done so on
all accepted modes of convey
ance, plane, train, car and bus,
I find that I have learned a few
things about sightseeing travel.
Basically such a trip should
or in my case must, be under
taken writh the idea of seeing
“the mostest for the leastest” in
the shortest possible time. That
is, take in all you can without
having to wire home for money,
and not get back -before your
holiday, as well as your bank
book, runs out. So in travelling,
money, time and extent, are the
three points to be considered.
One has to go beyond the
500-mile limit before he is per
mitted to call it a trip and even
at that no one is particularly in
terested in what he did or where
he went. There’s no look of
amazement when one hears that

wife travels half fare. Most

A HAPPY & PROSPEROUS
Train is Comfortable
NEW YEAR
For the average traveller,
train is the most comfortable.
It has all the facilities of com
fort and rest. It can be just as
Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Kurata
expensive as plane travel if you
■357 Ellis Park Road

Toronto, Ontario.
However, in groups of more
than two or if you like meeting
and joining in with fellow tra
vellers, then trains are best
suited for you.
Buses can be long and tiring
but you’ll see more of the route
as well as enjoy the passing
scenery, than on a train or
plane. No bus goes more than
three hours without stopping so
bus trips are not killing as some
people seem to believe.
To travel without worrying
about time and schedules, noth
ing beats at private car. By pool
ing running expenses, travel
costs can be cut to the minimum
if four or five persons are mak
ing the trip. You can make
stops where you please, make
side trips, and travel when you
feel like.
But a car can develop a defect
and jt becomes your headache,
not the Greyhound’s. On distant
trips, it’s the slowest. And it’s
not much use, and often a liability if you’re staying in a big
city for any length of time, Often it is better to get to ths
destination by other means and
then rent a car, particularly if
there are just two of you.
One thing I’d recommend when
on the road' is whenever it is
possible without losing too much
dignity, take your shoe off.
Your feet comes in very handy
when you’re sightseeing or
shopping anti you may as ■well
rest it up when you can. Also
don’t -wear your best, put on
something that you don’t mind
getting creased up or ■ grimy.
Then change when you arrive.
Plan First
No matter how you travel, it
is best to plan beforehand. While
indiscriminate and haphazard
trips with only your nose as
guide may have its happy-golucky and adventurous points,
keeping in mind the three basics,
it doesn’t work out. There should
be a semblance of organization
though not necessary a rigid iti
nerary like a politician’s tour
of his constituency, in order to
get full value for the trip.
This is especially true if you
are headed for a place or region
for the first time. Well before
starting out, obtain all the in
formation about where you are
going. By writing to any of ma
ny sources such as the chamber
of commerce, provincial or state
travel information bureau, hotel
