from the Editor
•'editors are not reasonable people;
ties threaten and they bite, they brow' beat and they whimper, sometimes i do
/ think they are human beings.
tese plaintive lines are voiced by

editors, are not responsible'for how

dition dictates that 'they must put too-ether the annual Christmas Issue. ■
Working night arid day against time is
hardly conducive to rational thinking.
Tardv contributors must be brow-beaten.
But thanks,- -many thanks, to all our
contributors, those appearing in These
paaes. and those* who will appear in
subsequent issues due to lack of space.
Ind thanks to our advertisers, who help
keen this thing going.
It’s been fun,
though nerve-racking, and quite an ex­
perience.
'
To continue the above quote* re editors,
“. . and worst" of all, they always want
articles with a christmas-sy theme; when
■ would rather pick a little nothing, arid
make a big nothing out of it.” Looking
over this year’s special; we discovered
that not a one of our writers has written
on a Christmas-sy theme.
So here it is, the 19th annual Christ­
mas Issue. We-hope you’ll like it.''And
here is a table of contents of some of
the writings:
'



Les Girls . . . Japonaise, by Frank
Moritsugu. A look through his little black
black book for notes oh the women who
have passed before his critical eyes this ■
past year.

mizu. A personal reminiscence of J.- S.
Woodsworth, founder of the CCF party.

space.
■ .
Introducing the Nisei Flyers, by Eddie
Hisaki. A. rogues’ gallery of the champs
of the East Toronto Hockey League.

SECTION II: (misnumbered III; en­
courages readers to think)
Don’t You Dare! by- Sue Sada. Little
Sylvester runs - rampant through a
number of pages, asking uncomfortable
questions.
The Literary Contest. A varied selec­
tion of writings (see Judges’ Comments).
Fifty dollars in prizes has been awarded.
Encouraging number of entries, but we
hope to see more next year.
SECTION HD (the real one)

kashima. A story of growing pains.

no’s “ Poses’, for people who hate poetry,
to be read while listening to the record,
Classics, for (people who. hate classics”,
and the Japanese section.
Merry Christmas and a’ that to all our
readers,-and others, too, from T. Umezuki and Ken Mori of the Nihongo depart­

ward off utter chaos in this issue, from

It is a time for reviewing the accomplishments of the past

National JCCA
For the next two yea^S : Toronto has been requested to
assume the responsibilities as the National headquarters of
the JCCA.
As your.' newly-elected, president of the National JCCA.
it is my wish-together with the members.of the National Exe­
cutive Committee^ and the National Council members to make
the JCCA become alive and active on the National level. With­
out any doubt, much, credit must be given to the local chapters,
its members and leaders,.for* like any organizational structure,
the foundation must be strong.
Since the birth of the JCCA in 1947, the organization has
withstood, criticism, such as, before the formation of the JCCA
on a-national basis,- such a national formation would enable
politicians? to- focus, their'political attacks on the Japanese
-Canadians. Some believed a formation such as-the JCCA would
tend to distract the Japanese Canadians from associating with
other groups, belonging to community groups, and other Can­
adian organizations. On the. contrary, the JCCA has proved
itself to the Canadian citizens that the Japanese Canadians
are vitally concerned, about national and international affairs.
I have seen the operation of the JCCA, firstly from the
ideas of the members of the then JCCD. With their strongbeliefs-for a National JCCA, together with the support from
various local groups across Canada, the first National JCCA
conference was held in Toronto September, 1947. Followingconferences -were held in Winnipeg, Lethbridge, Montreal and
Vancouver.
I believe that we have gained rather than failed in solvingthe pertinent problems-which were common to all of us during
the period, from 1947 to 1950.. At the present time the immi­
gration issue is'of primary concern to us, but Toronto JCCA
has shouldered this responsibility up to this time. However,
this is an issue which the National JCCA should, undertake.
.The JCCA needs people to come forth with"ideas for new
projects which .will be of benefit, not only to the Japanese
Canadians, but also to the country in which we live.
I wish to take this'opportunity to quote a line from the
preamble of the’- National 'JCCA constitution: The National
JCCA should regard its work as a contribution to the work
of the United Nations, for’the .well-being and happiness of
future generations.

I know that during my term in office I will enjoy the
cooperation of the National Executive Committee and National
Council members, and from all local chapters. It is with plea­
sure that I express personally on behalf of the National
Executive: Committee^ and National Council members to you
and to our friends across the border, the JACL, our sincere
wishes for a joyous Christmas and a happy and prosperous
New Year.
Edward Ide,
National President,
Japanese Canadian Citizens Association
Toronto, Ontario.

Japanese American Citizens Association
Perhaps no other peoples of the world have go much in •
common as the residents of the United States and of Canada.
The traditional friendliness and harmpny between the two
countries-are-well known and need no elaboration here.
Canadians of. Japanese ancestry and Americans of Japa­
nese ancestry not only share in this general' goodwill and
understanding'but are also linked together by other common
factors?'such as racial heritage, subjection in the past to dis­
crimination, lack of opportunities and even enforced evacua­
tion.
Today, as* never before; Americans of Japanese ancestry
; enjoy a status'which is at an all time high point. With the
■ passage of the major legislative: goals' of the Japanese Ameri- «
can Citizens League; we have been able to make our first
slogan,"“Security Through Unity,” a living fact.
_
I understand that' Canadians of Japanese ancestry have
also attained a new plateau in acceptance, respect, and in new
opportunities.
We in the Japanese American Citizens League have a
second? slogan, “To Become Better- Americans in a Greater
America.” We?feel that the challenge in this slogan will spur
us'’on to even- greater efforts in the future. And I trust too
that Canadians of Japanese ancestry will remain aware of the
special problems- which may face them and will take any
necessary steps in order to protect and promote the common
welfare.
'
A Merry. Christmas and a Happy New Year to all Japa­
nese Canadians!’
Roy M. Nishikawa;
National President,
Japanese American Citizens League,
San Francisco, California.

MESSAGES
Embassy of Japan
On Canada’s national emblem is the Latin inscription
mari usque ad mare.” And on the facade of Parliament Hous
in Ottawa axe ixxsciibed the wox-ds, “The wholesome sea at hr
gates, her gates both at East and West.”
Indeed Canada is flanked by two mighty oceans, th
-■vtiantic and- the Pacific, and beyond them lie Europe to th
east and Asia to the west, neighbors in this fast shrinkinpworld.
°
If Canada in the past looked more to the east, to England
and France, the mother countries of her people, there is ample
proof that she is mow also looking- to an increasing- extent ^o
lands beyond hex- western frontier. Canada has been takiim'a
greater interest and responsibility in the political and diplo­
matic affaixs of Asia since the war, a fact dem oxi strated
by her participation in the United Nations effort in Korea
in the Armistice Commission in Vietnam, and in the Colombo
Plan for Asian economic development, to mention only a few
In, the economic field, Canada’s trade with countries of
Asia is becoming increasingly important. Japan alone is now
buying annually nearly 120 million dollars worth of Canadian
products, including bushels of wheat, and in return she is sell­
ing a total of 60 million dollars worth of her own products. '
In the cultural field, I find a growing
.
Canadian
interest
in Japan. This past summer when I attended the Seminar of
the Institute of Asian Studies at the University of Briti
Columbia to address the opening session, I was pleasantly
surprised to find ‘a large number of persons in attendance.
The Institute, I understand, has quite a few professors, assis­
tants, and students engaged in the study of the Japanese lan­
guage, literature, history, social and political institutions, and
other subjects.
One of my duties as Japanese Ambassador to Canada A .
to understand, evaluate and encourage this interest of Cana-'
dians in Japan. I am confident that this interest will further
increase in the future as the friendly relations between Japan
and Canada grow and deepen.
. What, then, I now ask, will be the impact of this tendency
on the life of Canadians, of Japanese ancestry? During my
brief trip to B.C. and the Prairie provinces last summer, I had
occasion to discuss this question with a number of Japanese
Canadians. Some of'the points we covered were: Would not
closer economic and cultural relations between Japan and, Can­
ada inevitably create new job opportunities related to these
fields of endeavor? For instance, would not Japanese firms
established in Canada or Canadian firms eng-aged in business
with Japan welcome the services of persons who have a per­
sonal knowledge and understanding of both countries and
speak both languages ? Will these jobs go to the Nisei? Will
such jobs enable the Nisei to gain in economic and social
standing? What should be the role of the Nisei, the Sansei,
the Yonsei, etc., in Japanese-Canadian relations in the future?
What I think can be said now is that Japanese Canadians
have a stronger interest in things Japanese than they ever
had before. In the past several decades their primary effort,
I think, has been to adapt and assimilate themselves to Cana­
dian life. Now that they have established the economic basis
of their life, it may well be their opportunity as the “new
Canadians” to make enduring contributions to a richer Cana­
dian culture. If they would recapture the finer heritage of
their ancestral land and project it into the life of Canada,
they may build a strong and lasting bridge of understandingand enriching, intercourse across the Pacific as their fellow
countrymen of European origin have done across the Atlantic.
Canada would be so much the richer and greater. This is
history’s great challenge and opportunity to Japanese Cana­
dians.
Toru Hagiwara,
Japanese Ambassador to Canada,
Ottawa, Ontario.

Department of Citizenship and Immigration
It gives me .much pleasure to be able to extend-greetings
to all Canadians of Japanese origin through this special Christ­
mas and New Year issue of The New Canadian.
At this season of the year, which is above all others de­
dicated to universal brotherhood and good will, we in the
Canadian family .can take especial pride in the spirit oi
tolerance and mutual respect which has enabled men of dif­
ferent cultures to live together in unity and build the Cana­
dian nation. Those of our Canadian family who are of Japa­
nese origin are playing their full part in the realization of
this national ideal, and our national life has been enriched
by theix- contribution.
In their readiness to share in the life of theix- new com­
munity, Canadians of Japaxiese origin have received much help
and exicouragement from The New Canadian. This newspaper,
using in its pages both the English and the, Japanese
languages, shares with other mewspapers and journals ap­
pearing in many languages across Canada an important and
responsible role. It is through the medium of such publica­
tions that cultures? meet, helping to keep alive all that is best
in our diverse heritage, and strengthening oux- understanding
and appreciation of one another.
To the readers of The New Canadian and to members of
its staff, I send my good wishes fox- a Merry Christmas and
fox- health/happiness and prosperity ixx the yeax- that lies ahead.
E. D. Fulton, Acting Minister,
Department of Citizenship and
. Immigration, Ottawa.

Mason specializes in the Eastmeets-West love story (The

his book is a bittersweet thing,
much superior- to Michener’s
Sayonara. If made with British
taste and restraint, the movie
might turn out to be a happy
effort.
Miss Tani according to the
publicity, was bom in Paris of

France and then later, school
and university in Japan, then
later the Sorbonne.
She also
studied singing and dancing in.
Paris and made her professional
debut with a ballet company.
She starred in the Paris pro­
duction of The Teahouse of the
August Moon, and has made
seven films of which three were
- Japanese. Her latest film is The
Quiet American, another big
picture directed by Joseph Man­
kiewicz, and starring Audie
Murphy and Michael Redgrave.
And judging from the photo in
the J. Arthur Rank release,
Miss Tani is even more striking
a looker than Miiko Taka—
which is batting a fair average.

\Vednesda^December 25J^p7
Recently my husband and I
attended a dinner to celebrate
the 25th anniversary of the CCF
Party. As I listened to the reminiscences
of the present
leader of the CCF, M. J. Coldwell. of the research director of
the Canadian .Labor Congress,
Eugene Forsey, who had a part
in drawing up the Regina Mani­
festo in 1933, of the MP for
Vancouver East, Harold Winch,
and gazed upon the quiet coun­
tenance of Mrs. Lucy Woods­
worth, the widow of the first
leader of the CCF, my own
thoughts were filled with per­
sonal memories of an unexpect­
ed meeting with the late 'J. S.
Woodsworth.

—PHOTOS BY

NOBBY WAKAYAMA

Introducing the NISEI FLYERS...
The old cliche, “If at first you don’t succeed,
try, try, again” is a fitting one for the Nisei
Flyers. After nine years of trying, they finally
hit the hockey jackpot last spring, when they
won the East Toronto Championship, climaxing
a torrid late season surge. They won it the hard
way too. After floundering around for a greater
portion of the year, the Nisei untracked them­
selves and won six of their last seven games.
Overcoming heavy odds has always been the
trademark of the Flyers. The ten-year history
of- the Nisei Flyers Hockey Club is marked with
similar, deeds of heroics.
Paul;Tokiwa, Roy Kobayashi, Kaz Ishii, Dave
Yonemitsu, Frank Ueda, Joe Wani; these fellows
formed the nucleus of the first all Nisei hockey
team ever to play in the THL. Consider that they,
the founders of this club, were still in their teens
and' the true worth .of their achievements is
realized, Throughout their seven-year tenure in

the THL, the Nisei were a self-supporting group.
The money foi* equipment, ice fees, and uniforms
came. out of the players’ pockets. It was not an
easy task, trying to make ends meet with such
limited finances. The means of transporting play­
ers to and from out of town engagements were
very scarce in those earlj&days. Very often, the
entire team, equipment and all, would be cramped
in the back of a single panel truck. The condi­
tions then contrast sharply with the plush con­
ditions under which the Flyers now play.
As defending champs, the Niseis must repeat
them success of last year to prove not only to.
the rest of the league but also to themselves that
they are true champions. The opposition has
stiffened considerably over last year, and despite
the fact that the Flyers have a better balanced
club than last year’s champions, the road ahead
will be rugged. But then again, that’s old stuff
to the Flyers.
—EDDIE HISAKI

EAST TORONTO HOCKEY LEAGUE CHAMPIONS

MAS. NAKAO’ (left) started coaching* the Nisei team in 1959;
coached Homestead Restaurant team in the old Nisei Leag'ue prior
to that. Manager JACKIE TANAKA retired as active player two

standing defenseman on the squad. HANK KONDRIT,
now in his fifth year with the Flyers; starred in final
game of championship series. GEORGE ANZAI, an AllStar defenseman two years ago who gained his hockey
experience in Alberta. BILL BEYAK, rugged new­

comer with the Double S this year; had previous ex­
perience with Lakeshore Bruins in the OHA Junior B
League. At the right is forward PETE YAWNEY,
Flyers’ prize catch of tire year; rugged and capable of
scoring goals; currently tied for club leadership with

Toronto League had a bad year due to injuries; seems
to have regained his scoring touch this season. LOU
LUCHETTA, smooth skater who has improved con­
tinuously each year; started out on defense three years

ago, and is now playing on the forward line. ROY TA­
NAKA, one of the Flyers’ speediest forwards; injured
two weeks ago just when he appeared to be hitting his
stride. JIM MACILLWAINE, a three-year veteran in
the league; was Flyers’ leading goal scorer two years
ago. SHO MORI, second to Captain Roy Kobayashi in

point of service with the Flyers; injured in exhibition
match a few weeks back and is not expected to rejoin
the team until the New Year. JOHNNY BANKS, an­
other second year man; a digger who has seen action

HOLIDAY SUPPLEMENT
O’LVESTER was the kind of boy of
3 whom the neighbors said with a sigh:
"Oh no!”
It wasn’t that they didn’t like him.
They did. They agreed, when they could
speak of him dispassionately, that he
was really a very nice little boy, very
intelligent.. . ..but omigosh, cross the
road when you see him coming!
You see, Sylvester was Mr. Curiosity
himself, and there was no end oh ques­
tions he could ask about everything from
"Why have you got .green stripes .on
your tie, Mr. Bill ?” to • “Why did the
Rushings throw that thing up in the sky
and why can’t I see it ?” The last ques­
tion developed so fast into “What’s" the
name of the thing, Mr. Bill, and did you
see it, and can you take me. to where
I can see it, and why can’t I anyway?”,
that Mr. Bill had to sit down awhile
after he was safe inside his. home and
talk to himself.
However, the incident that set the
neighborhood in a tizzy . . . tizzy my
eye! The situation ^became dynamite, and
Sylvesters parents didn’t know what to
do with him, with themselves, or any­
one else. As I was saying, the incident
that blew up the neighborhood happened
because the parents of this boy, Sylves­
ter that is, decided to sell their house
and move to a place with a bigger yard
for him. '
;
'
As different real’est'ate agents brought
prospective buyers to see the house, Syl-'
vester had the time of his life asking'
them each one if they would buy the
house, and wasn’t it a nice house, and did
they have children his size, and when
were they going to move in.' The pros­
pects smiled at him - in a vague sort of
way. When agents and buyers weren’t
around Sylvester had long chats with
the neighbors -arid kept them up-to-date
on the situation.
. •
.“Missis ^Winnie. . . .! "Know what?
’Nother man and' a. lady came to see
the house. Las’ time was only a lady,
and when I asted her'where her daddy
was she laughed and said he was work­
ing yet and couldn’t come, so I asted her
if she would bring-him next time and she
said she might do just that, she said.
She was nice. She had awf’ly.nice teeth.
Gosh they was ever white!”
The neighbors looked out of their win­
dows regularly to see how the real estate
agent was making out with the sale.
Once in a while they, would stop Sylves­
ter’s mother on the street to see how

things were, and they enlarged on . the
risks of buying and selling, how you
had to make sure you were selling' to re­
liable people, and you had to be careful
about a lemon) Sylvester as usual was
listening with both .his ears and eyes.
“Mommy, what’s a lemon house? Are
you going to buy a lemon house, eh
Mom ?”
• '
“Quiet Sylvester, Mummy’s talking to
Mrs. Belle.”
“Yes Mommy' I’m sorry Mommy, but
are you'going to buy a' lemon house?”

SECTION THREE

himself was frantic with interest. He
wanted to know everything about every
phase of the prospective sale: he wanted
to know who was going' to 'buy and who
was going to have his room and who was
going' to have dris corner' of the little
backyard.
“T have to know, Mommy, so I can tell
them zackly about ever’thing!”
As is usual about this kind of busi­
ness, prospective buyers came and went,
and some came back, and Mr. and Mrs.
Sylvester’s-parents were kept in a con­
stant dither as real estate agents phoned,
and people phoned, and they came to see
the place, and walked through the Tooms
at the 'oddest times. Sylvester also was
in a constant state of ecstasy as he corn­
ered everyone and asked his questions;
and'’volunteered his- store of pertinent
information.
“See this thing? And all the shelves?
This is for your little, boy so he don’t
get dirty feet on the rugs and he puts
his rubbers and gloshes here and his
cans and his outside tovs. Daddy made
it.”
Sylvester’s parents loved him with
their glance but pinched his cars to let
him know he was talking too much and
bothering grown-ups again. So, every
once in a while Sylvester- would subside.
But, did you ever know an active volcano
to stop bubbling? He examined minutely
everyone that came to look^t the house.
He appraised them as acutely as any
personnel manager, and he. never failed
to give his opinions about’them all.
“Mommy/please don’t sell this house
to that lady with the shiny glasses.
Please Mommy? She doesn’t like little
children and she’ll be mean to. Susie next
door. I know she will.”
- Mr. arid Mrs. Sylvester’s-parents were
amazed to realize the perception that lay
in their son’s judgment, and they looked
• at each other as if to say: How do little
kids know such things? They, were too
old to remember that small ones, like
. “Syl-ves-ter!”

the inarticulate animals, must rely a

ments on the Literary Contest...

Originality or even the occasional flash of bril­
liance are not the marks of the entries in this year’sliterary contest. Perhaps it is not too much to expect
these, qualities among writers who should have so
much to say ; however, these qualities are lacking. Yet
The New Canadian’s literary contest is always an in­
teresting project: there is so much^expectation in the
air. The package-opening is never wholly disappoint­
ing. The judgment has riot been caustic or hypercritical,
for the final criterion is surely a mixture of objective
criticism and “understanding,’,’ vague and amorphous
as it sounds.
"
Among the 16 entries, the poetic impulse is most
prevalent; there was only one short story submitted.
The ages oFtile contestants range from 12 to 53 years
of age; and for most, this is their first appearance on
these pages. It is also interesting to mote that they
make their homes in various cities across Canada, and
thus this contest is not’an esoteric or parochial affair,^
There is, in general, an intellectual softness in the.
entries, a lack of skill in making the language work
for them, a carelessness in details of composition, a
failure to''-polish. There is, on the other hand, no
lack of ideas; and it is gratifying to note that the
over-worked and sometimes suffocating tradition of
social consciousness has largely disappeared into limbo.
This is certainly a strange trend when measured
against the private and public agonies of the past
generation of Nisei writers who now seem irretriev­
ably lost in the forgotten veil of misty tears. Instead,
we have these young writers looking, into themselves
through the familiar themes of life and love. And if
they look outside of themselves, it is to a half-realized

communion with the soft fall'of leaves.
Perhaps the best of the lot is a group of poems
by Allah Watanabe, , of which two have been chosen.
His Facade is an attempt to come to terms with ap­
pearance and reality, leading to the-overwhelming
questions: what is their nature? His poetic language
Js somewhat uncertain: the imagery is bare and sparse;
and he favors the direct, rather than the oblique,
evocation of suggestion. There is not yet an integrated
pattern of sound, image, symbol, and metaphor that
is often the Basis for a more succinct statement of
poetic argument. Yet what • strikes the reader is the
record of a mental struggle, the hollow mockery of
Eliot:
Yours is but to play a part,
Take your brief fling on-stage,
- -..And walk down the pseudo-street.
In his Hollow Eloquence there is a.rather dry-voiced
editorializing on our dreadful contemporary world:
'the writer is" a flotsam in a faithless universe. The
central idea is here more economical in expression;
and the imagery, though somewhat bleeding-bodied,
in its unconscious cliches, is at least suggestive and
musical. ’ There is no gainsaying, however, the inten­
sity of the writer in both, these poems. I suspect their
author has the ability to do some good work.
In Lynn Tacheri’s Panorama, the po'etic theme is
opposite in its attempt at ri back-to-the-grass-roots
sweep.. It is, again, rather .bare of striking image or
sensuous word; and there is something-very pale and
remote about the emotion. Yet the antithesis have
balance, and the poem does have a firm, structured
pattern.
Y

In T.Y.K.’s From the Heart of an Issei Father we
have an epistolary reworking of a familiar theme. Be­
hind the obviously restraining barriers of language,
the Issei writer’s emotions come bounding forth in
comparative freshness and poignancy. Martha Katsuta’s
prose-poem, Indian Summer, has a charming, youth-.,
ful feeling, and some attempt to.write with style.
These are perhaps the best of the entries, though
there has been no attempt to list them in order of
merit. Mention should also be made of-T2-year-old
David Ishikawa’s The Bazooka, Oscar Hatashita’s short
story, The New Businessman, and Kenneth Koyama’s
Why Nisei Clubs 2 They are, on the whole, slightly
jejune, and need some more polish to be really sue-,
cessful. It is surprising that there were no attempts at
’reviews or whimsy in the non-fiction category. .Hata­
shita’s short story was the only eritry in that genre,
and as such deserves an honorable meneion.
Nisei are not given to prolific writing activity;
and there does seem to* be an increasing’decline of
interest, during the postwar years. We have no Angry
Young Men, and we suppose it is simply because
there is not enough intellectual tension in the air, not
enough things to become angry or perturbed about.
There is too much prosperity, cheerfulness, and un­
intellectual activity. And literary activity is surely in­
tellectual; it needs hard brain work and much ap­
prenticeship in the craft of using words. The Literary
Contest is a means of encouraging writers in their
apprenticeship. There are no hard and fast standards;
in fact they are extremely flexible. And there is room
for more and more writers.

Facade
—~— By A. S. WATANABE

So there you stand,
lonely,
in this crowded citv,
Where love, hope, disillusion
are there to defraud.
You fight it, you struggle,
you wallow in pity;
But crying or laughing,
You prop your facade.
■ ■
I
Bring up the lights;
Let the rheostats whine
And the lamps glow
Not glare.
Don’t let the brightness
Shatter the .rightness
Of the set.
Don’t let tile harsh light
Reveal
The falsity of the facade.
The dim glow
Makes the false front real.
Move that curtain—
Shift that window.
They, will not see
That this
Is a street of dreams
With cardboard buildings
Leaning on lumber.
Hide .the dust
And dirty paper on dirty floors—
Crumpled coffee-cups;
This is where the set must be real.
For they want the reality
Of false fronts;
This is where falsity
Is reality.

Bring on the cast.
You, know your part—
Play it.
Don’t open that door,
Close it quickly!
They must not
Realize reality; There’s nothing there:
They would rather see
A false something
Than a real
■ " ■
Nothing.

Do your bit.
Walk down the street of the set,
But leave the props alone.
Don’t open that door.
You’re only "an actor—don’t linger
And pause to peer
Into doorways and windows
And despair.
The paper and paint
Are adequate
.
For the player to-finish his scene,
For the player to see only
What he should:
"Our’s is not to reason why,
Our’s is but to do. . .”
But why?

Slam that door!
Keep it closed!
Play your part.
Don’t see.
Don’t think.
Not pausing, not lingering, not peering—
Spared from despairing,
Yours is but to play a part.
Take your brief fling on-stage.
And walk down the pseudo-street
Into a ready-made sunset.

II
Then let it end.
" ■
E’en though it ne’er began,
It can end,
For it blazed
To its moment of glory-,
(However false, however wrong,
Still glorious)
And died to dust.
„ Sweep the dust
|
behind the curtains.

Then
The hysterical search
For hysterical gaiety;
A superficial repetition of the cry,
"Let’s live a little! ”
No use.
Another front.
And all fronts are false.
The laughter was hollow
From the void within,
-And the hollowness

Spread
With a shent whisper,
Until your whole existence
Resounded
With agony.
Where were you ?
Where did the dreams end
And the mass
Of disconnected, '
-■Relentless
Reality
Begin?
.
You made your dreams too real,
And reality
Became a dream.
Where are you ?
You started with love.
And now, why disillusion?
When hope was, so disillusionLove, hope, disillusion—
This treacherous trinity ;
Scan the same script— ' ’
Why didn’t you see it
Then ?
.
Because it was so strong.
Because you were' so weak.
Because.”

Before, during, after,
You could not,
Would not,
Discern
Where reality
Merged with dreams.
So there
■ Was your false reality;
The false front
In all its cardboard cruelty
Supported
By the two-by-fours
Of your false pride
And vain hopes.
You ran in and out of doors
And left them open. ' •
You would not know
That you must laugh
And deny it,
Or cry
.And accept it.
For tears are behind the scenes,
The -facade.

And they gave birth to

THE

CANADIAN

From tlio Heart of an Issei Father
By T. Y. K.

HEAR Daughter,'
I am writing to you tonight from my bedside.
On the daymf your departure, I knew there was ample time
to catch the train, calculating-a traffic congestion. My eyes wem
set on'the road, and I was driving cautiously.'
_Yet my mind was off the road, for I was thinking of the many
things'that I wanted to tell you before you left. So much to tel 1
and ^o much to consider.- Finally my mind went blank—there was
nothing I could say . . . there was no way to express my thoughts. ''
Since I am an Issei father," there should have been a common
interest between us. Perhaps there was one, but we missed it.
Brought up in a different tradition and environment, a different
time and age, with linguistic and .other difficulties, a stupid father
was never able to catch up with the eve'r-fast pace of progress.
Regardless of my thoughts, you are now grown up to stand
on your own twoTeet. Cheerfully and full of confidence, you are
setting out on the golden road of your dreams, your long-cherished
desires.—I wanted to say so many things, but too late how; you
are gone—
For the brief time at the’ station,' you were, though slightly
excited, nonchalantly chatting away in a well-poised manner to your
mother and friends. I was meekly standing behind the crowd; only
to gaze at you with a pack of emotions within, x .
• I try to step forward to say a few things-—? Oh no! I remem­
ber—“Father! It’s not TAU-BUN-DO! It’s a thousand!” and you
chuckled, “This is not Japan; this is Canada, and -I’m a Canadian.
■ You know that times have changed. . .” and you stared at me with
a stern look.
A perplexed father, only looking at-you, and slowly realizing
that you are growing and maturing. There was a smile and a hap­
piness hidden behind the poker-face of your father.—These are the
things that we will never be able to talk about. We lack closeness.
The time is up, and finally you come up to me to kiss my
cheek. * “Good-bye, Dad”, and you turned away, walking briskly
after the other passengers. You never turned around to look at me
again.
■ : ..- ■.■
I know you are a courageous and strong girl; yet there is a
softness within you, understanding the affection that was never
told and never shown. You are grown into ladyhood now.
So much I wanted to tell and so much to' show, but it was just
an unnecessary anxiety. Perhaps ’twas my ego or my possessive­
ness.
It doesn’t matter—without my telling, without my showing,
you received my affection. Now you- are gone.
"
Dear Daughter, do you remember your childhood ?
Being a
laborer, your father went to this'camp and that cannery, seldom
staying aKhome to show his affection. Yet you esteemed him highly.
You told me one time—I was interned and you were in a Ghost
town. , . . There were occasions when many children of your age
donned beautiful, kimonos apd danced on the stage. - You, too, wanted
to dance so much, but no kimono, only shabby-looking and poor.
“Who cares for me”, you thought. “If only" father was home. I’d
show, them that I can dance, and better-than them!” and you wept
all night, longing fox' your father to be. home.
My deal- daughter, on some quiet evenings, recalling the tale
that you told, father’s imagination would become beyond control,
like a nightmare', and I would dash out to get some fresh air to get
relief from the aching thought.
The war ended; we came to live in the city. Again my job pre­
sented me from sitting with.you at the dinnex* table. You never had
a chance to sit on my lap, nor sit beside me—those- things that I
wanted so much, but the days are gone forever. Yet you call me
Dad as though you never missed my affection. Forgive me, my
child, fox* the care that I could not show. Without my help, with­
out my care, you have grown to maturity. Now you are gone.
Dear Daughter, you are gone to give yourself a chance and to
prove yourself. Although you have left behind the impression that
you are an able girl, you are heading for an artist’s life, the hardest
career to be chosen, fox- I know your' line of work.
My dear-, the accomplishment or attainment of a cex-tain goal
must always be preceded by hax'd work, concentration, endurance
and courage. . I kxxow yoxz are an able gix'l to take these things in
Stride. Furthermore, there should be talent and luck wjth you. I
^BT^ T—^bese potentialities of an artist are within you. However,
giving.yqurself a chance to prove yourself is a different story.
Leaving home for a distant place changes your entire .environ. menu, and* the world is wide open, to you. You’ll face many things
that you’ve never met before. You’ll pick up many things that you
re\er knew, tilings which may interest or disinterest you. Then,
theie comes, because you are a'woman, the natural desire and the
passion. .These may disrupt ..the pursuit’of your career.
Picking up and getting to know many and warned interests which
come your way, your singleness of purpose may become lost and
youx- will to do may repose.
Oh my dear! Tou are stepping* into a thorny road. Do prepare,
^and learn to control. To control yourself. The physical arid the
mental, health is youx* only asset. Take care to preserve your beautv
and nooleness.

Summer

Wednesday, December 25, 1957

By A. S. WATANABE

In despair
Gry out
With nothing to cling to
When faith is cast adrift,
Drowning in mockery,
And the tides claim
The now unanchored
Hope and pride
Dashed
Against the treacherous rocks,
Leaving as pawn
Mere driftwood
On the grating sands.

By MARTHA KATSUTA, Raymond-. Alta.

Panorama
By LYNN TACHERI

The jagged mountain spears its lofty head into the
■ snow above:
_
Below the emeralds glisten among the valleys '
' hemmed with green spires:
These are the Rockies 1
.The jagged promontories gush into the blue-green
tide ever-shifting:
High above the forests hide tlieif faces
from the west-born winds :
These are the Western coasts!
The jagged turrets, grey-hot pyramids sink
into the whiteless blue:
- Nearby the green bread ripens upon the
straight-paned tables:
These are the Prairies!
The smoke diffuses up into the silver-grey
screen above:"
Against the whining whistles’ blow, a child’s
naked cry competes:
This is Man’s!

LOVELY Indian Summer, with her delightful
charms and beauty,'reigns supreme through­
out the land. Autumn has withdrawn her melan­
choly presence, and is permitting this gracious
queen to rule for a brief interlude before Winter
clamps her .frigid fetters over the countryside.
Indian Summer, swirling; her royal robe of bril­
liantly tinged scarlet and gold leaves in her
breathless passage across her realm, fills the
hills, the wooded glens, the rivers and the moun­
tains with color and with song; her rich laughter
rings out alluringly in the zephyr as it dances
on its carefree gypsy way. And she tints the
heavens.with a soft, O so'beautiful azure—a hue ■
of infinite splendor that fills one with vague re­
grets and wistful yearnings for the heart knows
not what. Longingly one reaches out to clasp her.
But always she remains elusive and intangible—a-laughing will-o'-the-wisp that beckons the seeker
ever onward, while imparting gaiety and warmth
wherever she treads.
Besides hex*. ostentatious
glory, she also bestows a dreamy tranquility that’
gently pervades the land, suspending all hectic
activities and cares of this dizzy life. Indian
Summer’s magic does not end with the day. For
in. the .night she displays for all to behold her
glistening tiara of multifarious stars that glim­
mer in a radiant and exquisite loveliness. The
houses, the road, the trees, the pathway and the
dew-sparkling earth are all transformed by the
luminous, silver rays of the incredibly large and
lustrous harvest moon that floats serenely in the
velvety firmament. The only sound that breaks
the utter stillness of "a world slumbering in sweet
and peaceful repose is the. song* of the nocturnal
crickets. impishly chirping their clear,, high re­
frain. Suddenly .the ephemeral, mystical queen is
gone. Alas, she has glided away; silently on in­
visible wings, evanescing enigmatically to one
knows not where, merely leaving behind a nostal­
gic, wistful -memory of unsurpassed magical
splendor-and enchantment lingering faintly on thestill, empty air.

There—
Stripped, tossed,-rejected
By the raging sea;
Lost, bewildered, impotent
On the barren beach—
Identify in anonymity
With driftwood.
There
In despair
Cry out
For something to cling to.
A starting place. . .
Hope. ...
And across the moonlit 'Strand,
Wail o'er the waves
For faith afloat;
Cry,
Though strength be gone.
And in full eloquence
Your only tongue
Is but a cry.

Japan. Known to many in Ja­
pan as former president of the
Kansai Gakuen in Nishinomi­

Japanese scholarship students
and visitors who make it a
point to pay their respects to
him. He has often delivered
sermons to the Toronto Japa­

the war helped Japanese Cana­

electric streetcars were installed
in Tokyo, and the machine

HIS Ivory Tower is Southern.
Illinois University in Car­
bondale .located about 96 miles
south and east of St. Louis and
about 350 miles south of Chicago.
Carbondale used to be a small
mining and railroad town, and
the university merely a small
normal school. Now the state
university is just bursting at the
seams with over 8,000 students.
It also has branches in three
other cities and owns a fleet of
buses, automobiles and airplanes
to transport students and faculty.
As recently as 1950, the entire
campus consisted of one square
block, but now it has a sprawling
campus of several thousand acres.
Many classrooms and offices are
still located in converted army
barracks and private homes,
which were bought up in the ex­
pansion program but haven’t yet
been torn down to be replaced
by multimillion-dollar buildings.
New buildings are being com­
pleted all the time, but still the
construction pace lags behind the
student enrollment needs.
I arrived on this campus in
June to accept a position in the
Speech Correction Department.

________

T H E .NE W

A CANADIAN TELLS ABOUT HIS JOB IN AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY
My work consists of teaching un­
dergraduates and graduate stu­
dents who are studying' to help
people with speech defects and
hearing' difficulties.
In addition I conduct research
and offer diagnostic and consult­
ing service to people who come
for speech help. For example, to­
day a mother brought in her- sixand-a-half-year-old girl who still
does not talk. I g'ave her psycho­
logical tests and found she scored
in the mentally retarded range.
Th© problem was how to tell the
mother this so that she would be
able to accept the information
and not reject the child.
Another service we offer is
teaching the foreign students to
get rid of their accents. We get
students from all over the world
and Japanese students are not
uncommon. It is not too difficult
to help them get rid of their accents so that they sound okay.
One of the interesting duties I

By MIKE HOSHIKO

I first entered the United
States in 1946 to start, my college
work. After my BA and MA, I
returned to Canada and worked
for the University of Toronto for
three years. I came back to the
States to complete my Ph.D. at
Purdue University.
It was a constant struggle with
anxiety, frustration and lack of
money to acquire a higher educa­
tion. But had I remained in Can­
ada, I seriously doubt if I could
have acquired this level of aca­
demic training. Both my brother
and I entered the U.S.A, because
we'are the first and only Japa­
nese Canadian familv to have two
Ph.D’s.
'
Fifteen years have slipped by
since I was evacuated from our
chicken farm in Surrey, B.C. I
have Tost contact with most of
the Nisei I knew back there.
I suppose Masato Sunada and
his brother Ken have now become
prosperous'sugar-beet farmers in

Alberta—they were hard workers
even as kids. The last I heard,
Cyril Naganobu was the owner
of a thriving- garage business in
B.C. One of my good friends in
.school was Sumio Tsukishima,
who^ now has four wonderful
children . . . his oldest boy is al­
ready in the second grade. An­
other school friend was Juko Otsuki who took pre-med but wound
up being- an electrical engineer in
Toronto.
1 remember the days when
George Nishioka and I used' to
talk about going to the States to
study when we were back in B.C.
Well, he finally got his MD from
the University of Michigan, but
where he is .practising- 1 do not
know. Other names come back to
me . . . Kayo Nakamura. Takao
Hirasawa, Yosh Maruno, etc. . . .
Because I declined the govern­
ment’s offer to go and work in
the beet fields of Alberta. I was
separated from these people. It
was very frustrating and difficult
to try to be independent during
those evacuation days. But as the
years have passed by, living has
become
increasingly
pleasant,
satisfying and wonderful.
I find my Ivory Tower very
cosy.

have is offering an extension
course for classroom teacher's 70
miles away at Elizabethtown
which is just across the Ohio river
from the State of Kentucky. I
have to leave the campus about
3:30 in the afternoon, driving' one
of the University cars, teach
two-and-a-half hours, and get
back about 11:30 p.m. Because of
the long drive, my wife comes
along with me. She is rewarded
for keeping me company by not
having to cook supper.
You might ask why I chose
academic work instead of en­
gineering? It’s because I like the
atmosphere of the Ivory Tower.
It gives you a constant oppor­
tunity and challenge to grow and
mature. It gives you colleagues
and friends who have like tastes
and interests.
It provides you
with the opportunity to do re­
search. It lets you come in con­
stant contact with young people
who are stimulating and refresh­
ing. You cannot become old and
dogmatic associating with young
I
college students all the time.
