of a cultural contribution involved.

The first half of this century has been attributed to the
Issei. Actually they have made possible the coming of age
of the Nisei in this current era. Certainly the Nisei have come
of age physically, but perspective is needed with which to
make the final decision that the Nisei have come of age,
mentally.
But is can be said, at least, that the Nisei are coming of
age. If they go so far as to take steps to examine themselves,
then they are truly traversing a lot of ground on the road
to maturity.

them it is- a red-letter day, made
memorable by the eating of “mo­
chi” and “ozani” and the playing
of games all through the day.
They write that they are very
interested in finding out the
customs of Japanese-Canadian
kids on New Year’s.
Most of these kids hope some­
day to visit Canada. In lieu of
such wishful thinking, they write
these letters, hoping to create a
strong bond of friendship and
understanding between the youth
of Japan and Canada.
The pile of letters awaits,
then, for anyone who wishes to
correspond with these Japanese
youths.

They must plan for their future
in Canada with foresight and
wisdom.
The Japanese Canadians have
in their possession a valuable
community tool in the JCCA or­
ganization. It should be used
wisely for* the benefit of all
members.
The JCCA, in the future, can
work for us in co-operation with
other Canadian groups in the
Economic and Political Action
fields so that'we may enjoy se­
curity in employment and protec­
tion from racial discrimination

laws
throughout Canada and a Bill of
Rights for Canada. And to strive
for equality of treatment under
our Immigration laws which pre­
sently discriminate causing bro­
ken families among Japanese
Canadians whose close relatives
cannot come to Canada.
In the important fields of Cul­
ture and Education, the JCCA,
as a useful tool of the commu­
nity, can be of great service to
its members. Through JCCA
community efforts it is possible
to organize fashion shows, art
exhibits, folk dance festivals,
floral demonstrations and exhi­
bits, filming of folk dances and
many other cultural community
projects which would encourage
Niseis to develop their creative
abilities which stem from their
cultural background.
Thus,
eventually,
Japanese
Canadians can make their contri­
bution to Canadian culture.
Social Welfare and Recreation
are two additional important
fields for JCCA future work.
The Nisei must consider in
their maturity, the welfare of
the young Sansei and the older
generation, the Issei.
The JCCA which fully repre­
sents all Japanese Canadians, is
a precious community asset. Let
us plan well so that we may put
it to good work in the future for
the benefit of all its members.

FOURTH NATIONAL JCCA CONFERENCE,

A recent JCCA general meeting bears evidence to this.

The topic was, "Niseis, What Do We Think Of Ourselves?"
Three prominent speakers gave their views on what they

The speakers represented a cross-section of Japanese-Cana­

The New Canadian

Branch writes that it is seeking to encourage artists from
various ethnic groups to take this opportunity of making
their talents better known as well as to utilize it to profitable
advantage.

Wednesday,

That was my immediate reac­
tion. It brought such a reaction
because most, if not all of what
she said, was true, sadly so.
I came prepared to dislike Mrs.
Muriel T. but I went home in­
stead admiring the woman. Why?
Mostly because she has the kind
of very rare guts to stand up on
the stage and indict the Nisei
with all their shortcomings in
individual traits, social mores
and conduct. It takes a rare kind
of woman to do that, you must
admit. Most of us wouldn’t even
do such a thing even armed with
a bottle of liquor. And what hit
the spot was that you knew what
she said was true.
But okay, so we’re poker-faced
all the time, we lack a real, in­
trinsic sence of humour, we lack
initiative and originality, we
lack spontaneity, we nature,
build up and continually feed an
inferiority complex, we fear ri­
dicule if we were to try to do
something different and out of
the way, we are sometimes do­
minated by our Issei parents and
ancestral customs, we haven’t the
courage to speak up in public,
and so on, into the night. Okay,
so we are all these things. But
I wonder what the answer, the
panacea is ?
What I liked was one of Mrs.
Muriel T.’s indictment against
the female of our species, that
of the average Nisei girl being
afraid to get higher education
or to educate themselves because
of the fear that the male coun­
terpart wouldn’t like or approve
of it, and would only want the
Nisei girl to be beautiful but
dumb. That fear is hogwash. I,
fox' one, would enjoy hearing
some Nisei girls converse on
some fairly intelligent level and
not just simper.

But the type of Nisei who I
feel would most benefit from such
discussioxx was not in evidence.
From my vantage point, and al­
though most of the faces were
strange, I could see that the au­
dience, more or less, was made
up of what could be called the
average Nisei over 21.
Those present were there at
least to mull ovex' the problem
but I would like to see the type
of Nisei who would come directy under* Mrs. Muriel T.’s ven­
om. Like the younger brother'
and sisters, some ’ of the Nisei
teenagers whose lives revolve
around the poolroom with nary
another’ a thought, some of the
Nisei like one Sweet Toung
Thing who commented to me re­
cently’ that she “hates the Jews
(fox- no good reason), and others
of the type who live in the gam­
bling rooms in Chinatown.
1 wonder what these ?-i'1
think of fhe’vselves 1 Or do the.'
at all ?

ledges with thanks generous do­
nations from the following:
