Editor, The New Canadian:
ACROSS MY MIND ...
To be able to speak and understand Japanese
well has been one of my unfulfilled wishes. I
wish to know the language fluently not only to
understand more of our Issei folks, but also to
snatch in the process something of the Japanese
culture.
Sure, I could get by with what Japanese I
know for daily use, but there’s still a big gap
in what I don’t know, depriving me of all the
pleasure and richness that could be obtained from
knowing the language well.
I feel what Japanese I spout is akin to child
talk, and for this reason some Isseis, having their,
ears trained for understanding it, listen polite
ly. However, when I let loose with some terms
I’ve managed to learn, such as minshu shugi
(democracy) nikka shinzen (Japan-Canada good
will), heiwa jyoyaku (peace treaty), they are im
mediately aroused and lift their eyebrows won

tional Japanese as well as for political discus

sions.
Anyway, it’s a cue for them and they start
to give with their solutions to the monumental
problems of the world. I listen, and if they talk
the dialects peculiar to their prefectures, I may
understand only one-third or one-half of what
they’re saying, or none at all. The worst part
of all is that even if I do understand them, I’m
completely lost as to how to express my-ideas
and opinions. I begin to squirm, searching fran
tically in my mind for the right terms and shades
of meaning, but before I get around to opening
my mouth they’re all piling on me again with
long-winded complicated discourses.
But the funniest part of it is that once a Nisei
friend told me that his folks and their friends
thought I was a wizard with nihongo! And just
about all I had spluttered out was a monotonous
series of hai’s and iiye’s interspersed throughout

In the midst of crime, viol

ulcers, unemployment and other
pestilence and pitfalls on the
complicated road of twentieth

The Dogpatch affair which
came to a marital head last Sat

a grave national crisis. It be
came the topic of the supper ta

people exchanged words about
the events of the day.
It was a good story for the
newspapers. One Toronto radio
station actually called up the
man behind Li’l Abner and that
telephone conversation was re
peated on the air several times.
The cartoonist was beseiged by
such calls, wires and letters.
So long as the world can take
time out from the toil and tur

what their favorite strip charac

Editor, The New Canadian:
ACROSS MY MIND ...
To be able to speak and understand Japanese
well has been one of my unfulfilled wishes. I
wish to know the language fluently not only to
understand more of our Issei folks, but also to
snatch in the process something of the Japanese
culture.
Sure, I could get by with what Japanese I
know for daily use, but there’s still a big gap
in what I don’t know, depriving me of all the
pleasure and richness that could be obtained from
knowing the language well.
I feel what Japanese I spout is akin to child
talk, and for this reason some Isseis, having their,
ears trained for understanding it, listen polite
ly. However, when I let loose with some terms
I’ve managed to learn, such as minshu shugi
(democracy) nikka shinzen (Japan-Canada good
will), heiwa jyoyaku (peace treaty), they are im
mediately aroused and lift their eyebrows won

sions.
Anyway, it’s a cue for them and they start
to give with their solutions to the monumental
problems of the world. I listen, and if they talk
the dialects peculiar to their prefectures, I may
understand only one-third or one-half of what
they’re saying, or none at all. The worst part
of all is that even if I do understand them, I’m
completely lost as to how to express my-ideas
and opinions. I begin to squirm, searching fran
tically in my mind for the right terms and shades
of meaning, but before I get around to opening
my mouth they’re all piling on me again with
long-winded complicated discourses.
But the funniest part of it is that once a Nisei
friend told me that his folks and their friends
thought I was a wizard with nihongo! And just
about all I had spluttered out was a monotonous
series of hai’s and iiye’s interspersed throughout
the evening. Of course, my being a good listen
er helped, too!
