zations, and also for a special
Japanese culture room.
Activities to be carried on and
encouraged in the proposed centre
include: Issei socials and meet­
ings; private social functions
such as teas and receptions, cul­
tural pursuits—study- of the Ja­
panese language, flower arrange­
ment, dancing, art. judo, music,
drama, etc.; exhibits of art,
flowers, amateur photography7,
etc.; showing of movies and
musical entertainment; meetings
with etlmic groups; library for
the Issei and a reference library7
on Japanese cultural subjects;
games and matches such as cards,
table tennis, ‘Go’, ‘‘Shogi’, etc.
CENTRE vs. GARDEN
Since there was some misun­
derstanding between the community centre project and the Ja­
panese garden project, the' table
officers of the Toronto J CCA
Isseibu and the Japanese Garden
committee held a meeting on Jan.
29 to discuss the matter
thoroughly.
After a lengthy7 discussion, it
was agreed that both the com­
munity centre and the garden
were significant to the Toronto
JCs, but it was important that no
conflict existed, which would
make for failure of both projects
and also .leave undesired effects
in the community.
It was decided that both
groups would support the fund
raising campaign of the coxnmunity centre, and also that
the garden project would be
started by planting some 2,000
Japanese cherry trees in the
city parks, to be paid out of
the centre fund.
The resolution, which was ap­
proved by the Toronto JCCA
Committee for Community Centre
on Jan. 30, is pending approval
by7 the rest of the Isseibu and the
Japanese Garden club executives.

Kibei were found to be very
much like the Issei, signifying
that the differences were caused
by cultural factors rather than
inborn traits or family influence.
The Kibei and the Issei, brought
up in similar cultural settings,
have in adult life similar person­
ality traits.
The Nisei and' their value sys­
tem, patterned towards mobility
shown by7 the middle class hakujin in the community, have been
successful because they incorpor­
ated some of the traits possessed
by the Issei such as the ability
to delay gratification for long
term achievement. With the re­
moval of restrictive community
pressures, the Nisei have been
released for more effective func­
tioning.
The nature of conflict found in
the Nisei, according to Dr. De
Vos, seems to arise from trying
to achieve greater self-differen­
tiation rather than accepting the
personal submergence emphasiz­
ed by the older Japanese ideals.
