SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1956.

One advantage in writing- is
in not being' interrupted in
the middle., of a sentence, at
least as far as this end is con___
cerned. . . . Whether you stop
right here* or not is up to you,
but the print goes on, in cold
and unsympathetic black and
white, to be set down in the
records, irrevocable.
However, it seems to me the
disadvantages outweigh the advantages, for one cannot tell
what the reader’s reaction will
be—he may be as bored as all
get out, or if by some mere
chance' he may be interested,
one cannot be spurred on to
greater heights, let alone get
off the ground, by the sparks of
enthusiasm. One does not get
criticism on the way if one g-ets
into a rut, or off the track, or
if the whole thing’s about as
clear as mud and half as inter­
esting-. . . .
For instance. I’m about to
ramble on into the topic of in­
terests and duties. Now I’ve
picked a topic, but don’t expect
me to stay on it because I’m not
really a -writer by choice or call­
ing (this doesn’t have to be explained, I guess). . . . But here
we go.

A

THE

NOTES @i SY. WRITING
(and also on the question: duty or not duty?)
. Now every person has certain
interests brought about by here­
ditary or environmental in­
fluences—mostly the latter, be­
cause there are so many outside
influences being shoved at you
from all directions from those
people who think you are miss­
ing something tremendously
important, be it anything from
bowling to bird-watching, oi
from jazz to Japanese culture.
As for duties: in my opinion
each person s duties are brought
upon himself as a result of hi«
interests (and I should add, as
a result of getting himself into
spots—like rigiit now I am
duty-bound to pound out some­
thing on this poor old type­
writer), and not by accident of
birth. But this is not the way
things work out. Right here* is
where I should get into a little
argument, but since there’s no
opposition, I shall have to
pound along in my little rut.
So, to get back, using, the
assumption that most people
11

By MARGE
would like to be happy, even it
y s in martyrdom or hypochontiria, ano since the world, in my
opinion, is going to keep on
being essentially the same for
as long as it exists insofar as
human nature is concerned
(even it conditions change on
the surface). I’m all for followmy own interests to stay
N\PPy—there are plenty of
°$?Frs wh° will follow theirs.
This may appear to be selfish­
ness, but it sometimes goes
under the name of individual­
ism. (It sounds better, too.)
Some ^people tend to think in
terms of the others being wrong
in being apathetic to certain in­
terests, particularly but not exc(R5ive‘y ’n wNit are considered
affairs for the good of society
asA w'10’e- Such as politics.
Now I have to admit that my
interest in world politics is not
terribly avid, but that interest
rises in relation to the bearing
which world affairs have on our’
little corner of the world, and
by use of startling deduction
based on selfishness of human
nature, I believe that most of
the average “ apathetic'’ people
vciil react the same way. It’s
the same situation with the
JCCA . . . avhen a crisis comes
up, the Nisei will rise to the
occasion.
(Maybe this is ra­
tionalization and self-justifica­
tion. Time out right now* for
another little argument.)
And I think there are some
things which certain people are
better qualified to do than
others because of their respec­
tive environmental or heredi­
tary interests. Some people like
politics (actually LIKE it) and
as a result would be more suit­
ed (if not qualified) to become

profound statements’
Aow most of this grew out
from an informal bull-session at
the Buddhist Church the other
night, following- the U of T Ni­
sei Students Club’s debate on
Nisei chibs and their value to
integration.
The session con­
cerned itself with die duty or
not duty of Japanese Canadians
to spread the good word of Ja­
panese culture.
The argument, as I see it, is
that as persons of Japanese an­
cestry, it is our duty and obliga­
tion, since we are closer to Ja­
panese culture than the average
Canadian, to educate^ these
others about the land" of the
rising sun, and to contribute
that culture to this melting pot
which is not yet recognizable
as Canadian culture.
My main objection to this was
in learning culture as a duty.
It just don’t seem true-blue,
somehow. . . . There are quite a
few Nisei, as well as occiden-

tals, who are sincerely enthu­
siastic about Japanese culture,
and who are doing- a pretty
good job of spreading its in­
fluence around without the rest
of us forcing ourselves in the
line of duty to do the same.
It was argued that it would
help the Nisei to learn more
about Japanese culture, because
the more you learn about your­
self, the more you’ll understand
life, and part of you is inescap­
ably Japanese.
But in . my
opinion, the Canadian influence
on the average Nisei is greater
than that of Japan, and if the
point is to understand yourself,
it would be more beneficial to
learn the two cultures in ratio.
To learn about Japanese culture
in itself would take a heck of a
long time, and time spent in one
place cannot, be spent in an­
other. And that’s why I think
the best measuring stick is to
follow your own interests.
It was also pointed out that

the _ change in general com­

’ ■
Because of the general" de­
centralization throughout the
Metropolitan area, it has been
found almost impossible to
secure any _ statistical data on
rates and kinds of social interaction. While it is possible to
obtain a general impression of
the intensity of participation in
formal ethnic organizations, it
has _ been more difficult to
obtain data on the activities of
the great numbers, particularly
of older manned Nisei, who no
longer- play any ..active role in
such organizations. It has been
necessary to generalize from
the information given bv ap­
proximately 200 Nisei * with
■whom I have had personal con­
tact.
Language difficulties in com­
municating with the majority of
the Issei were in part compen­
sated by their more active par­
ticipation in in-group activities
and by the opportunities given
me for observation of patterns '

FEMME FARE:

"Please Send Me,
Pear Santa Claus,
A Childlike Heart.

st

By Cinderella
DLEASE send me, dear Santa, a childT like heart. This, I know, is a strange
request. But, for some time now, I have
been thinking- very seriously about
Christmas. And I am now more con­
vinced than ever before that Christmas
is the one great force for good in the
world today. And believing in this, I am
in need of a childlike heart.
You see, dear Santa Claus, it is
quite the fashion nowadays for adults—
and especially for cynics—to pooh hooh
Christmas and to relegate it to the realm
of children between, the happy ages of
three and eight.
Children are supremely happy with
Christmas. And I have been wondering
why Christmas, in which we as young­
sters found so much joy, could suddenly
become so meaningless. O, I have gone
about querying my friends on the subject. Their answers have not at all been
satisfactory.
One cynic told me “Not a damned
thing!” To him Christmas is all part of
a great advertising scheme which forces
fools like myself to indulge in wild-spree
spending during November and Decem­
ber, then into two or three months try­
ing to get out of debt. To others it is
just another day. hard for adults but
tolerated since it means a wonderful day
for the kiddies. For some Christmas is
the “one day in the year when they can
let loose and get drunk happy.” Some
consider Christmas a time for makingsmart quips, like “It’s a day when I open
little packages all done up with ribbons,
to find, among other tilings, that Old SoI'm in confusion; I ve got my signals switched.
and-So, the cheapskate, has given me a
I had a line, I had a spiel,
dollar tie, when my gift to him set me
When the front was always on the present line,
oack five dollars!” And I must confess
too, that caught up in the rush of ChristBut ever since the day old Joseph Stalin died,
mastide, I have caught my self saying
I ve gone through such contortions of fronts, and lines,
‘Goodness, Christmas is almost here!
And back-to-Stalin moves, that now,
Isnt it just awful!” and have thought,
I've

Like a hiccup of the diaphragm it hits you ... tic!
I know this is wishful thinking. I know
This tic is quite contagious, and it is an occupational disease

Quite common among us rank-and-filers of the Marxian ideoloay

genesis of this article
leaped out from
item in The
ew
in ad inn wherein it was re­
'Ported that a group of professional
organized as an advisory committee for aspirants to succesf ^. skirted a train of thought
which, though really innocent, soon
became insidious.

Like Cleopatra, she is perched on a
throne of burnished gold, offering blan­
dishments ,to seduce the unwary who
come to otter homage and incense. She
is often too captivating a lure to resist,
but Success is a brittle mistress, hard| hearted and fickle, and worst of all. very
costly. Her pursuers soon become wheel­
chair hunters on the heels of an elusive
quarry.
, I think the most damaging feature of
mcs terribly
we
itself is too
nigh a price io pay. To become integ­
rated and assimilated does not seem at
all stimulating or satisfying. It only
means,that one must forever be regular
in one’s habits. One must by necessity
avoid drug peddlers, avoid getting drunk
in public, and have nothing to do with
vipers. Any divergence from routine
will label him as one who is tread­
ing down the primrose path of dalliance,
and min his tediously and laboriously
built reputation. He pointedly disasso­
ciates with, or snubs, his old acquain­
tances who have carved out their niches
in society as shoplifters or belly-dancers.
He becomes, in essence, the worst tvpe
of ascetic; he becomes what is taiitaUou.nt ’n horror to a Bowdlerizer of
Shakespeare.
It is surprising the extent to which
Success brings about a regularity not
only in outward but in inward traits.
The regular man will get up at seven
every morning, and work hard each day
of the week. He will pat his wife on the
head each evening with the same per­
functory gesture that he kissed her in
the morning on the way to work. Not
for him the romantic feelings he had for
her during his courtship. On long week­
ends he will desert his spouse and
domesticity for the allure of speckled

The saga of the switch-tic starts before the last, last big, big war,
When I was young enough to feel the soap still wet behind the ears.
Some fellows with the gift of gab, nattered to us working men
About a character name of Marx.
According to this Mar?: now, the proletariat was boss,
While the so-called bosses that we knew were capitalistic jerks.
The masses were the people and the people we
And the proletariat masses were the State.
The State was Mr. Big, and people didn't count.

Of course I had a sneaky doubt about the logic of it all;
For if all the people were the bosses of all the present bosses,
And the present bosses weren't the people because of liquidation,

When I get to thinking it seems a little strange
To call a slave the working man today,
Wno've never had it half so good in getting things h
But that's the line I have to give, so that's the way I
And every time I make that switch I get that little tic.

When the Nazis came to power, they were our bitter enemies.
And what a he'ctic time we had in fighting them throuah Spain and G
But then the Nazis made a deal with Uncle Joe to hold his "hand
While they smashed and. conquered Poland.
Hereabouts, we commies had to switch quick our snarls to smiles.
What a switch that was and what a tic I got!
So when the western world ganged up to break the Nazi voke,
Wc commies piously said 'no' and would not fight
In such imperialistic wars to swell the capitalistic purse.

Now I must confess that all that switching and that tic
Had me confused to what was right in line with Stalin,
Because when that Blitzkreig hit into the Polish people
I got a bit exacerbated and got a patriotic rash, '
And in my irresponsible condition, joined the infantry.
Since all the time I've .been a Red I've always been obedient,
When the sergeant barks at me I obey . . . naturally.
What a funny do: I joined the army when I shouldn't,
Marching with reluctant feet for imperialistic swine, When my heart is beating groggily for Stalin and Berlin.
No wonder I'm facing front to back, and my tic gets worse and worse.
Suddenly it's Hitler does the switch, and swings his panzers Russia-bound,
And far from being a dirty heel I'm now a Hero Volunteer!
We commies beat the drum and shake hands all around.
And yell like mad to start the Second Front..
Friendship rallies everywhere, and bury-the-hatchet sprees:
Boy! what a comforting thought it is to know that this infectious tic
Is now a common bond between the Marxian and the rest. '
What did it matter if I'm completely lost,
Not knowing if I'm front to back, or back to front, or left to right. . . .

There is something about serving
Mamnion that is chilling. People look
up to you. You are expected not only to
be a Paragon and a Pillar, but a secondrate Socrates. At home, and at the tea­
circle, you must be crammed full of little,
bits of information to regale and enter­
tain your wife or guests. This is all
right if you are the gregarious type,
or willing to read magazine articles. And
you have to be in the swim of things.
You must make solemn pilgrimages to
Stratford and observe the sanctity of
shrines. And as a Pillar, you must enrol
in civic committees, lodges, and the
Busy-as-Beavers literary club. And the
people who believe they are Top Dogs
are always on the run. They are always
glancing at their wristwatches, and their
business keeps them rushing from one
place to another. They try to escape
boredom by staying nowhere longenough to be bored.
Money and prestige carry an awful
authority with them. We. are all made
to feel unimportant, snobbish, iconoclas­
tic, arty, naive, idealistic, starry-eyed,
unless we are part of them. In their
eyes we become something called the
Common Man, which is most often either
a pure abstraction or a symbol of our
own mediocrity. By such phrases they
exploit the philosophy of democracy to
point out our weaknesses. But that is

your fat lap with the trust I used to
have. I still press my nose against shop
windows but I can never become lost in
wonderment.

Cinderella

decidedly a misnomer, for there is nothmg more common than Success.
The
symbol of Success is the tired old busi­
nessman, who is really nothing’ better
than an unheroic failure, for he has
abandoned the ideal end for pecuniary
gain. They are a huge success—that is
to say, unheroic failures.
They have
misread Success in the light of the Social
Register, Dun-and-Bradstreet, and Mrs.
Grundy. They have made a compromise
with the world, the flesh aTid the devil;
in other words they are permanently in
a state of twilight sleep.
The heroic failure, on the other hand,
is arrayed on the side of Edgar Allan
Poe, of Byron, of Browning, against the
dull unspiritual successes, the bourgeoi­
sie, the Pecksniffian smuggery. the Babbittry, the dilletantism. You go into the
living rooms of the Successful and you
will find Wordsworth, Carlyle, Sibelius,
Stravinsky, Picasso—the highest in “cul­
ture”—the best that has been thought
and expressed. They have passed up
these t,hings on the road to Success, and
now rather guiltily and desperately, they
are trying to erase the fungi and mildew
from their souls. They would be more
at home at a burlesque show, a. musical
comedy, or with the evening papers.
They are the type who gush over Shake­
speare but get drowsy even at King Lear,
slobber over string quartets, palpitate
over Impressionism; but from the brave
smiles they wear, you might suppose
they were having their teeth pulled, in­
stead of their senses ravished.
It is
obvious that excessive development of
some of the mental faculties in nurtur­
ing Success has led to atrophy of all the
rest.
For being Successful, one has to pay
the heavy price of being’ included among’
the middle-class. This class is rampant
with conformity, and breeds the fewest
interesting’ people. Their social life is
given to mild gin-drinking’, where gossip
becomes satire through imitation of their
friends, and where spin-the-bottle is re­
placed by charades. They thrive off
being integrated, off having all its mem­
bers interested in the same things and
fortified by the same prejudices.
The Successful man invariably refuses
to accept unpleasantness: depravity,
promiscuity, guzzling or phallism. He is
afraid. He writes letters to the dailies
about it; he uses influence and he pulls
wires. But one of the more melancholy
aspects of the Successful is his occasion­
al attempts to be a Good Guy. Some of
them make some show’ of “keeping up
with things” because it is “broadening”
and is something- to talk about after­
ward. Thus they may guzzle beer at the
local pub when they prefer buttermilk,
or carry on with chorus girls when they
really have a yen for St. Michael’s Col­
lege girls. The sine qua non. of the Good
Guy is his use of language; he will go
in for words that throw doubt on the
legitimacy or the heterosexuality of some
other person. There is a decided loss
in communication and urbanity in the
interests of he-man vulgarity. These
aspects, again, are a part of going in
with the crowd. The Successful, for all
of his conformity, would rather be
thought of—among his own select group
—as sinner than saint.
The very gospel of Getting’ Ahead im­
poses a special need for conforming. One
must seem ambitious and alert, show
respect for the proprieties, go to church,
be a family man, and not get too drunk
at the office Christmas party. But as
one gets more and more successful, one
must not only follow examples, but must
set them. His every act becomes public
news, and must be carefully acted out
for effect and consequences. One finds
ultimately that, one can lead a dashing
and dazzling life; but not one’s own. The
budding Big Shot is hell-bent on destroy­
ing his individualism. There is a funda­
mental determinism about all his actions.
He becomes a slave of Thou Shalt Not.
But I think the basic thing that is
wrong with Success is the gospel of work
which it preaches. Work is no more re­
spectable than alcohol or marijuana; it
serves exactly the same purpose; it just
distracts the mind, makes a man forget
himself. Top Dogs are such enthusiasts
for work, for it gives them the comfort­
ing illusion of being important. It makes
them feel unequivocally superior and
admired, and allows them to hide the
sense of inferiority and insecurity which
inveterately haunts them at home. They
tell others that Success is natural and
noble, that thrift and industry are vir­
tues, that it is Christian, and that it is
a necessity if one is to go to the King­
dom of Heaven. And so Success becomes
a quasi-religion. But be of good cheer;
you can always tell them to go to the
Devil.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1956.

OF
Last month on a trip to New
York, I sat in the Palace Thea­
ter ten minutes before curtain
for the Judy Garland in-person
show. The house lights were
still up and people were chatter­
ing their way in.
Then in came the clod. He sat
down in the row behind, me and
moaned disgustedly, “Imagine
coming to New York to see vau­
deville.”
“But this is different, this
isn’t ordinary vaudeville,” said
his companion, apparently the
host who bought the tickets.
Their two -wives remained mum,
letting their menfolk sound off’
“This is Judy Garland, they say
she’s great. She knocks ’em
dead,” the host insisted.
“Oh, I dunno. ... I think
she’s a psycho myself . . . ima­
gine paying this" much dough
for a vaudeville show,” the bellyacher continued.
To say the least,- these ar­
rivals were a refreshing switch
to my oto feelings as I waited
for the show. Being lucky en-~
ough to be in New York when
Garland was playing the Palace
was a big thing in itself. But

ter how much Williams pleads
wrth them. But seen “live” and
on stage, these acts and the
others come off much strono-er
—one after another thev deliver
wrth “sock results” as' Variety
might put it. Last guy before
intermission is comic Alan King
who just stands in front of the
curtain and talks into the mike.
His monologue about suburban
living runs something like 12
minutes, and, taken apart line
by hire, isn’t brilliantly funny.
But King’s delivery and timingare adroit and the audience lap's
at up.
. The intermission gives you
just enough time to get out into
the fresh air under the Palace
marquee, gulp a few draws
fi om a cigarette, then the warn­
ing buzzer goes and you crowd
back into the theatre for the
star’s turn—Garland herself.
The bellyaching- boor behind
me and his host were both en­
raptured by the time the second
act was over on the bill. So even
they contribute to the hushed
anticipation of the full-up thea­

And moving to

astonishing_ bundle of nerves

and sips tea while the audience
waits in sympathetic quiet. This
goes on for two minutes—and
feels like five. (On radio, it
should be noted, a half-minute
of silence—“dead air”—drives
producers to gibbering mad­

Tea drunk, frog gone, Gar­
land launches "into song again.
Her act involves several cos­
tume changes—and when she
goes off, eleven fellows come on
to sing and dance and fill in.
In all she sings ten songs—to

FRED’S INN

(cont'd)

with a razzamatazz
finish.
N >t only are we experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime
thing—Bin, ; Crosby and Judy
Garland inging together and in
person—but these two
pros blend together beautifully
in spite of the striking contrast
in
tries—one oh-so relaxed,
the other oh-so intense.
The Palace Theater g'oes wild.
Crosby takes two bows and then
has to come back' for another
song. They decide on Swanee
with Bing doing- the verse. He
fluffs it because he forgets
couple of lines, but -who cares.
The chorus is another punching
thing- that leaves the audience
The applause won't die down
—until Garland puts up her
hands and says. “Well, really
. . . you can’t ask foi' more than
that.’’ And of course she’s right
and so the people finally settle
down, give her another big hand
and trail out.

SECTION THREE

Reviewing the Yean

A Brief Recop of News and Views in 1956
In an era of slow but sure
social assimilation, the average
Canadian Nisei joe can only give
a hazy picture when queried by
an outsider as to the extent of his
activities determined by his Ja­
panese background. For some
there is no Nisei circle, social or
otherwise. Others think there
should be a lot more to it.
Perhaps assimilation will be
realized within another genera­
tion. Until then, one of the func­
tions of this newspaper will con­
tinue to be to Jet Joe Nisei know
what’s going’ on in the Nisei

some progressive social trends to
be developed more fully in 1957.

nological careers, and there’ll be at least
one millionaire, he says.

February
JACL rises in angry denunciation of

Confessions of @ Toko won Buffer

I God Jul

By TOMMY MITSUNAGA
LETHBRIDGE, Alta.
Scores of stories have been
written by various individuals
concerning that debatable (to
take or not to take) delicacy of
the Japanese cuisine, the form­
idable takuwan.
Herewith an
account of my crusade as I join
the ranks of those few brave
persons who dare to include ta­
kuwan as part of their nutritive
fare.
The inviting yellow sticks of
pickled radish were wrapped in
wax paper, then put into a plas­
tic bag and tied securely before
they were put in amongst the
sandwiches which constituted
the major part of my lunch. I
/had decided (much to my sor­
row) against putting them in a
small glass sealer- in order to
conserve space and weight.

from SWEDEN to CANADA

i

The first to sense any un­
balance in the chemical compo­
sition” of the ail' was the head
geophysicist, a lean, uncom­
promising Michigander, whose

TORONTO, Ont.

I felt the blood rushing to my
cheeks and knew that my face
was
considerably
flushed.
What’s the use, I thought. I
may as well bring out the spoils
and declare the real culprit
rather than go through two
more hours of agony and suspicion. . .
*
*
*
I was ready to concede defeat
when an inner voice took up the
challenge and urged me to carry
on. Why not?
I’ll vindicate
myself come lunch time any­
way.
Let’s play the cat and
mouse game and keep them
guessing,. We need a little excitement around here! At that
moment I’ sincerely felt that I
was the bravest, the stubbornest, and, at the same time, the
zaniest character in the world.
Meanwhile, the dear little
package in the desk drawer was
pouring forth its oppressive
odor, aided unduly by Mr. Gra­
ham’s Law of Gaseous Diffu­
sion. Whether any of the others
in the office detected it, I don’t
know. And so there I sat with
a casual halo around my un­
easy head.
Never had Time, great com­
mon denominator of king’s and
beggars, dragged its feet so.
Never had a minute, the six­
tieth part of an houi\ seemed
so long” and so meaningful.
Time, usually the rarest of com­
modities to me, seemed super­
abundant, lavishing me with
each miserable second, minute,
half-hour, hour, caressing me as
each unit passed into oblivion,
making the most of its earthly
presence.
And yet, so must Time render
conclusion to events and epi­
sodes. Surely the moment of
victory can at least equal the
ordeal, the struggle which pre­
ceded it. Then mine would be a
rewarding one indeed.
It was at precisely the mo­
ment when the sun reach its
zenith, at the stroke of noon,
that I attained the greatest per­
sonal victory of my life. For at
that instant I drew forth my
lunch, opened the contents in
the presence of all, and display­
ed the delectable radish under
the noses of the two men who
had caused me three of the most
anxious hours of my life.

MONTREAL
We tobk off at dusk, casting
a final glance at the brilliant
neon lights of downtown Montreal disappearing rapidly in .
the black clouds below us.
On board our North Star were
several army personnel and a
load of Christmas cheer for the
members of the Canadian army
truce team in Indochina. Our
orders were to make good the
delivery, and then carry on east­
ward home to take advantage of
the prevailing westerlies.
First stop: Gander, New­
foundland. : While the aircraft
was being refuelled for our
next hop to the Azores, the crew
busily engaged itself in clear­
ing
customs,
checking
the
weather en route, and' flightplanning. By the wee hours of
morning we were rolling down
the runway and setting course
over the Atlantic.

the bullfighters and senoritas.
Unfortunately, our - stay there
was merely overnight and the
only recollection I have of the
place is of its two-dollar beers
and 10-cent wine, guzzled down
amidst curious stares from the
multitude of midnight promenaders.
Aroused to a splitting head-

and vegetable markets, haggling
and fingering their purchases
in competition with the squad­
rons of buzzing, black flies.
In acute contrast to these
poverty-stricken scenes, in the
totally westernized hotels, Euro­
peans and obviously wealthy
Indians lounged in the bar­
rooms, sipping multi-colored

losing two or three hours due to
the earth’s rotation!

Our two-day rest at this un­
easy Mediterranean island was
relatively quiet, although we
were not permitted to sally
forth from the hotel without
our uniforms on. Turkey could
be seen in the haze of the hori-

Trouble

Then it happened! We were
-about an hour out from the
southeastern tip of Newfound­
land when one of our inboard
engines gave out. Followingquick “feathering” action and
dumping of excess fuel, we had
to turn around for an emergency
diversion to the nearest airfield
—a USAF base at Argentia,
Newfoundland.
The three-engine landjng was
executed without further diffi­
culty, and we eventually arrived
in the Azores 12 hours behind
schedule.

ache by the din of our alarm
clock, we were airborne by day­
break, Malta-bound.
A hasty
lunch at the RAF base there
and once again we were on bur
way, arriving at Nicosia, Cyp­
rus, just as the last drinks for
the day were being served.
Amid cries of anguish from the
parched throats of the crew, it
suddenly dawmed on us that

the distant waters of the “Med,”
British gunboats maneuvered in
exercise.
Meanwhile, in the semi-trop­

soldiers with rifles on their
knees patrolled the streets of
the town in jeeps, even as
underground
posters
signed
“EOKA” (the Cypriot under.^ ground) littered the narrow^
sidewalks and telephone poles.
It was with a certain sigh of
relief that we got out of that
hornet’s nest unscathed.

Under the starry desert sky,
we thence made our way to"
Basra, Iraq, just southeast of
Baghdad. There I got my first
actual glimpse of a typical
Arab in native garb: Berobed
in white from top to bottom
with that hood-like covering
over his head, he -was standing
guard at the airfield gate. We
g-ave him a package of Players,
and with his head bobbing up
and down, he emitted in gut­

profuse thanks.

sandy oil fields of the Middle

The Pakistani capital certain­

two days there were spent in
nauseating agony from the foul
stench of human filth combined
with burning incense. While
dilapidated motor cars and
bulging streetcars gave way to
sacred cows roaming at random
through the city streets, swarms
of barefooted and almost naked
children persistently followed
members of the crew, begging:
“Canadians, please, some An­

just 100 miles north of the

We all liked Singapore very
much—not too hot and humid as

abundant entertainment, and its
generally affable atmosphere.

“Calling Tokyo . . .”

We next pressed on north­
eastward over the South China
Sea towards Manila, where,
during our two-days’ stay, we
toured the presidental palace
and the downtown area. Al­
though the city appeared quite
modern, in the background were
still to be seen the scars of
World War II—gaping bomb
craters and the havoc of Japa­
nese and American landings.
<
Then on to Japan, which had
been my home for several years
until 1952. A few hours after
passing Okinawa, we could see
the twinkling of lighted fishing
vessels in the darkness below
us just off the Wakayama coast,
and a short time'later we were
in the approach circuit to Ha­
neda Airport.
“Tokyo International, this is

went the pilot’s voice out on the

standing with my mike also,
just in case some heavily-ac­
cented Japanese voice came
back. Fortunately the reply was
clear and understood.

Sight for Sore Eyes

That night the house was in
. full uproar, with all the rela­
tives and friends gathered for a
feasting in honor of the “son
who had returned from Ameri­
ca.” It certainly was good to
see and talk to them all again—
former schoolmates and teach­
ers, uncles, aunts. But., all the
tinkling of sake glasses and
steaming plates of home-cooked
delicacies could not appease my
regret over the absence of my
beloved grandfather who had
passed away earlier in the year.
I rejoined the crew at Hane­
da Airport two days later and,
from what I could gather, they
all had had a whale of a time
in Tokyo. Steam baths, geisha
gh’ls, - sukiyaki and pachinko
■were just a few of the topics of
conversation
that
continued
throughout the remainder of the
trip.
Boarding the aircraft, the en­
tire crew was loaded to the
teeth ■with fishing poles, glassencased Japanese dolls, boxes
from Mikimoto, and an array of
other bric-a-brac for Chrnstmas.
A few minutes later I waved
goodbye to those who had come
to see me off. We were air­

Reunion

Awaiting me at the terminal
gates was my brother, whom I
had wired from Manila, and a
couple • of friends from my
Tokyo days. Moments later, I
was driving through the fami­
liar streets of the capital to­
ward Central Station, to catch
the next southbound express.
Next morning, I was at my
parents’ home, my strange uni­
form the object of great curio­
sity among the local villagers.
On arrival, a letter was await­
ing me from someone dear in
Toronto. It was 15 days-since
we’d left Montreal, now more
than 15,000 air miles behind us.

Tokyo Celebrates 500th Anniversary

ASCOT CLEANERS
Extends Its Sincerest Wishes
Of the Holiday Season to All

8

By LUCY IKATA
TOKYO
In the beginning Tokyo was
only a quiet fishing hamlet
called Yedo. It was here that
Dokan Ota, in an effort to con­
trol his territory effectively,
"built in 1456 the Yedo Castle on
the site of the present Imperial
Palace. Thus began the deve­
lopment of a desolate fishing
community into what is now one
of the three largest cities in the
world, with a population of over
eight million—Tokyo, the capi­
tal of Japan, presently celebrat­
ing her 500th Anniversary.
In commemoration of _ the
fifth centenary, an elaborate
and colorful Greater Tokyo Fes­
tival was held from October 1
to 15. One of the major projects
carried out in connection with
the Festival Week was the in­
viting of mayors and their
wives of various cities of the

world to visit Japan. Some 30
mayors of capitals and major
cities of 27 nations accepted.
They were given the opportun­
ity to see at first hand the ti­
tanic changes which have taken
place since the Meiji Restora­
tion in a pageantry of parades,
shows, etc. in the thought of
fostering commercial and cul­
tural exchanges and promoting
international relations.
On Octobei' 1, a commemora­
tive program was officially
opened at the Metropolitan
Athletic Hall in the Meiji
Shrine Outer Garden, and in the
Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium,
a massive folk dance was held.
In Hibiya Hall a huge joint
theatrical and musical program
was presented, and carried over
radio and TV networks to the
whole nation. Numerous para­
des, including Daimyo processions, showed the citizens of
modem-day Tokyo how the feu­
dal lords "were required to live
in the period of the samurai.
Flower-bedecked streetcar's and
floats paraded through the
streets constantly. The Festival
Week also found the U.S. Secu­
rity Forces and the Japanese
Self-Defense Forces cooperat­
ing in making the occasion a
joyous one.
To mark the 500th Anniver­
sary, all public schools in Tokyo
were closed on October 1 but

unfortunately the holiday turn­
ed out to be a rainy one and
the numerous parades* that were
in store for the school children
had to be postponed to a later
date.
Commemorative
postage
stamps have been issued. oTeof them shows the Imperial
Palace, often described as “Ja­
pan’s grandest view,” in the
foregr-ound. The modern Daii­
chi Building and the interna­
tionally-known Nikkatsu Build­
ing are seen in the background
beyond the moat in which swim
white swans—the exact setting
that the tourist finds himself in
when visiting the palace area.
This portrays very well the
drastic transformation which
has taken place from the time
of the Yedo Castle to present­
day modernized Tokyo. The
white - walled
castle * turrets
stand out in bold relief atop
stone embankments in which
are bedded pines twisted with
age and in strong contrast to
the tall, majestic pillared Daii­
chi Building, which was once
General MacArthur’s pride and
headquarters.
Five hundred years have
made Tokyo a strange combina­
tion of the East and West. To
preserve this unique blend of
the Orient and the Occident is
the tremendous task which lies
ahead for the city fathers.

What About the Older Unmarried Nisei?
ByM. SITARR

Living quietly. in the back­
ground while their younger sis­
ters and brothers are getting
married and .establishing their
own families are many unmar­
ried older Nisei. These people
no longer attend Nisei dances or
come out for social functions.
They may be seen coming and
going away alone sometimes at
Japanese musical concerts or
movies.
Who are they? Well, you
know them better than I. They
usually, have jobs that they go
to faithfully and are considered
by their employers as very loyal
and hard workers.
Some live
with their aging parents or with
another brother or sister, and
sometimes two or three of them
get together and have an apart­
ment of their own.
We should be concerned about
these unmarried older Nisei, not
because they may become delin­
quent or unable to earn a living,
but because cold hard reality in­
dicates that married people are

happier, better adjusted, and
more accepted than the bachelor
or spinster.
Research by marriage counsel­
lors, psychologists and psychia­
trists shows that there are many
reasons why some women and
men do not. marry. Many do
not want to be tied down, give
up their independent life and
take up the responsibilities of a
family.
LIMITED OPPORTUNITY
Among the Nisei it might be
that many do not marry because
they lack "a decent opportun­
ity.- Girls who clioose nursingcut their marriage prospects by
50 per cent and so do g'irls who
go after post-graduate degrees
or professional degrees as in
medicine or dentistry.
. Sorne have family responsi­
bilities like supporting an aged
widowed mother or looking
after younger orphaned brothers
and sisters, which makes them
feel they can’t afford or have
no right to get married. A few
have physical handicaps, some
of which are serious enough to

TRADITIONS BROKEN
With the aftermath of the re­
location and breaking down of
such tight traditional controls,
many of the younger brothers
and sisters were able to grow
up like all the other adolescents
in the community, and they
easily outstripped their older
sisters and brothers.
At this time when the Nisei
are coming- of age, it is impor­
tant _ that they be in the best
possible position to take advan­
tage of the situation. Rightly
or wrongly, most people feel
