SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11. 1956

In seeking immigrants, Canada is concerned mainly whether
a man has the guts and-adaptability to become a good enterprising
Canadian, said" The Financial Post editorially this week. We’re
looking for people who seek opportunity and not merely security,
the business newspaper said.
The Post applauded the new policy of the immigration depart­
ment which has been necessitated by the decline in immigration
and the increasing number of jobs available. Ottawa has decided
to go after promising people, and not determining eligibility for
entry solely on occupation, as has beer, the policy of the past three
years. The newspaper said:
“The present change in policy is in the right direction. We hope
Ottawa sticks to it. Certainly it should adopt, a sound, generous
policy and stick to it instead of fidgeting around and trying to
adapt policy to the presumed tides of popular sentiment.”

NISEI UNITED CHURCH

Glenn Miller Nite came and went, last Saturday night. . . . The
UNF Hall is just too small for this annual event. During the course
of the evening, the $100 Nisei Student club bursary was presented
to Sam Yoshida, who unfortunately did not venture beyond the cur­
tains to receive his loot. Only past prez Toguri was seen handing
the scholarship through the curtain. Later, when told about this.
Sammy said, “Good: Now nobody can waylay me on the way home.”
Entertainment (by Mayumi Yamasaki and Sam Misumi it says on
the ticket) included the first Nisei girls’ harmony quartet that I’ve
seen, singing Blue Moon (with a few odd notes), a silhouetted take­
off on The Medic, and some wonderful alto sax-work by Nobby
Kubota, all emceed by George (Liberace) Takahashi. . . .
Last night (While this issue is sitting in the post office), was
the TYBS Valentine Dance and I bet that’s going to be crowded! A
few of the .beauties vying for the Miss Valentine crown appeared in
the Star. . . . Sally Akada and Jane Edajnura had switched names,
June Shikatani and Doreen Tohana came through with misspellings
—only Marianne Inouye survived unscathed.
Anne of El Choclo wants to remind El Chocloans that El Choclo
is in session tomorrow night. . . .
Also tomorrow night is the Toronto JCCA’s annual (only once
a year) general meeting, with a mysterious TV personality as guest
speaker. Come out and support this community service organiza­
tion and vote for your leader of ’56. and get free movies and enter­
tainment too, all at the Carpenter’s Union Hall, 169 Gerrard E.,
just west of Sherbourne. It starts at 7:30.

Mustangs Take Lead
Over Top Team 77-67
In Church Semi-Final
Mustangs took a 10-point edge
into the second game of the twogame total point semi-finals
against Kingsway Lambton Fri­
day.
The Nisei eagers came
back from a 38-33 half-time de­
ficit to beat the schedule leaders
77-67 in the opener Tuesday.
In a move to accelerate the
church intermediate B windup,
league officials started the play­
off ball rolling this week. Mus­
tangs played off for second and
- third place Monday with North
Parkdale, losing 58-49 despite a
22-16 halftime lead. This loss
meant the Nisei would square off
with first-place Kingsway-Lambton in one semi-final.
After displaying a strong de­
fensive in the first half Monday,
Mustang guards let up in the
second portion of the game and
North Parkdale took advantage
with a fast break attack to win.
Nisei scorers: Hirano 13, Kameo­
ka 7, Tanaka 10, Ken Miyasaki
7, Roy Miyasaki 6, George Shio­
zaki 2, Ike Murase 2.
Tuesday’s game was something
of an upset in that Mustangs had
failed to beat the league-leaders
all season. Deciding factor in the
game was Niseis’ set shot ac­
curacy, and Kingsway-Lambton’s
loose checking. Niseis were really
hot on long shots mid the losers
failed to make use of their height
advantage. Mustang scorers:
Hirano 30, Roy Miyasaki 11,
Ken Miyasaki 10, Kameoka 10,
Koyata 7, Roy Kurita 5, Dick Ta­
naka 4. Paul Hirano and Yuki
Kameoka played very well, and
Sam Koyata came up with one
of his top performances.
If Mustangs were able to hold
off the powerful KingswayLambton squad last night, they’ll
advance into league finals next
week.
And tomorrow, Mustangs will
be matched with Andy’s A.C. at
3:30 at the UNF gym in Bathurst-College league action.

-'-We are holding the first of what is hoped to be an annual
British Columbia Nisei Five Pin tournament, under the auspices of
the local JCCA on March 30th and 31st at Commodore Recreations
centre, 838 Granville St.”
Because of the divergence of Nisei keglers in the province, the
tourney heads have adopted a handicap system, for all events, with
the exception of the “All Star” matches.
The Japanese Consul trophy with five individual trophies plus
cash awards, is up for grabs in the All Star men’s team roll-off.
The mixed team events winners will be rewarded with the Steveston
Jewellers trophy as well as statuettes to each member of the team.
Ladies’ and men’s doubles leaders will also win. individual trophies.
Uneeda Cleaners and Mikado trophies will go to the ladies’ and
men’s singles champions, respectively, determined on the average
of the first six’ games participated in by each contestant. Last, but
not least, a raffle to help defray expenses will be drawn at the
Windup Dance, preceded by a banquet on the 31st. Prizes have
been donated by Vancouver merchants.
This opening tourney is led by Kaye Inouye, with Tad Ikeda
and Peggy Okahori looking after the social end of things. Yosh
Inouye is treasurer, while Dave Matsuba and Jim Nishimura are in
charge of trophies. Raffle prizes are handled by Mamo Madokoro,
and Mitz Nozaki and Dave Matsuba are. official statisticians.
