TORONTO. — Further- contenxplation on the part of the
Toronto JCCA has brought about
the decisioxx to get the elder
Nisei members of the commu­
nity together- at a light afternoon
tea to be held oxx Sunday, Apr.
25, from 2 p.m. at Grossman’s oxx
Spadina Avenue.

As announced earlier, the pur­
pose of this proposed get-togcthex- is to arouse the interests of
Nisei in the elder- age group ixx
local community affairs. At pre­
sent, a distinct, gap exists betweexx active Issei members oxx the
JCCA and the comparatively
young Nisei executives oxx the
chapter. The voice and weight of
the most important group —
