wara also touched upon the subjects of Japan-Canada trade, immi­

Toronto Club Reps
Urged to Attend
Centre Meeting on Apr. 8
The Committee for Toronto Ja­
panese
Canadian
Community
Centre this week sent letters and
questionnaires to 34 JC clubs and
organizations in Toronto.
The questionnaire is designed
to give a true picture, of the vari­
ous clubs’ present expenditure on
rentals, the facilities which would
be utilized and desired in the pro­
posed Community Centre, and the
amount which the various groups
would be able to contribute to the
upkeep of it in the form of ren­
tals.
It is felt that the. money spent
by JC organizations of this city
in rentals alone, the letter stated,
arc of such an amount that they
are sufficient to maintain the pro­
posed Centre. It also stated that
before architect Raymond Mori­
yama can proceed with a hypo­
thetical sketch and model of the
Centre, he must obtain informa­
tion on the kind of space required
directly from the clubs.
The next, meeting of the Com­
mittee for TJCCC will be on
Tuesday, April 8, 8 p.m., at 415
Spadina Ave.
Representatives
from the clubs and organizations
are asked to attend with written
answers to the questionnaire. Any
organization which has not re­
ceived the questionnaire is asked
to contact Bob Kadoguchi, chair­
man, at 180 University Ave., 5th
floor, Toronto 1.

What About Nisei Social Clubs?

space

A Mississippi Mixer

people provide a source of satis­
faction for their social needs.
However, if they have come close
to the late twenties, this group is
usually too young for them.
Those who go on to university
may find the next four years a
continuation of the type of social
activity which they had been used
to in high school. However, as
many campuses have Nisei stu­
dents’ clubs, this lends itself to
increasing contacts for the
various Nisei on campus. If the
Nisei pair off with others in the
group or on other campuses,
that’s well and good. If they do
not, they will find a very strong
isolation if they go off to work
away from the easy access to
campus social life.
Let’s look at some ease his­
tories: A Nisei with an MD and
a nice practice in a small town
far away from Nisei girls finds
that he had better get back into
Toronto and look around. A Nisei
girl with a good job as a nurse
but no prospects of a husband de­
cides to come to the big city, and
soon marries a Nisei graduate
student who conveniently lived in
the same rooming house as she
did.
But then there are many cases
of girls who used to attend
church fellowship meetings until
they reached about 27 when they
gradually fade-out. On the other
hand, look at some of the JCCA
groups and you- will find Nisei
pushing 30 who are still active.
All of these Nisei dancing
clubs, bowling leagues, church
groups, JCCA, etc., have the func­
tion of bringing the Nisei from
scattered areas of the city to­
gether. The Nisei look each other
over while trying to learn the

cha-cha or while drafting- a letter
on immigration policy, throwing
a bowling ball down the gutter,
etc. Eventually there is pairingoff and marriage, and the prin­
cipals involved become less and
less active.
When a girl approaches her
thirties and hasn’t married, the
chances of her finding a husband
at one of these social clubs are
not too good, as she has to com­
pete with a much younger group
of g-irls. Probably if a girl ever,
gets a PhD or some professional
degree, she has just about had it,
unless she marries another Nisei
with a PhD or something like it.
There is no doubt some behindthe-scenes match-making is done
within the community, especially
when the girls start to push 30
and aren’t too aggressive. Family
friends may introduce likely can­
didates, who, after some brief un­
romantic contacts, may even get
married.
All this talk about Nisei social
clubs hindering “assimilation”
(meaning interracial marriages)
may be true, but it probably
would be more correct to say that
without these Nisei social activi­
ties, there would be fewer Nisei
marriages.
Not like back in the old Powell
Street days when the boys used
to comb their hair and spruce up
to go to Japanese Language
School to meet girls who likewise
looked forward to this aspect of
the school. Times have changed;
a Nisei crya grow up with very
little or no contact with other
Nisei and many do. Those who do
find they do not want to or are
unable to marry outside their
group. Then the fun begins: To
join or not to join the Club El
Scrato de Bal?
