Vancouver Pastor Says

PROBLEMS STILL HERE
VANCOUVER.—-Some of the
old * problems of the pre-war
period still cling to those who
have returned to Vancouver.
Among them are familiar ones
such as language, relations of the
Japanese Canadians to white Can­
adians, and marriage.
These are serious problems,
according to Rev. Tadashi Mitsui,
who earlier this month was in­
ducted into the Issei congrega­
tion at First United Church. He
is also pastor of the Nisei at
Columbia Street Mission.
Rev. Mitsui who came here
with his wife from Tokyo last
October, a year and a half after
graduating from a theological
seminary, places language at the
top of the problems.
He explained that the Issei who
are mostly over 60 and have lived
in Canada 30 years or more do

not speak English. Before World
War II they lived in the Japanese
section of Vancouver, thus isolat­
ing themselves from Englishspeaking Vancouverites. During:
the war they were placed in eva­
cuation or road camps in interior
B.C.
Thus Rev. Mitsui finds himself
preaching in Japanese to the
Issei on Sunday evenings, and in
English to the Nisei in the morn­
ings.
The minister has found that
language is a problem in the
home between the Nisei and Issei.
“The older Japanese can’t un­
derstand the younger ones,” he
said. “The older Japanese here
are very conservative. They are
more conservative than older peo­
ple in Japan because they cling
to ideas and customs they brought
with them from Japan.”

In Highway Crash

EXPANDING JAPANESE SECTION AT C.N.E.

WILLIAMS, Calif.—A vaca­
tioning Canadian Nisei from Mis­
sion City, B.C., was killed in a
car crash in northern California
on Aug. 5 together with two
other companions. He was Ronald
Kenji Imakire, IS, who was en­
route to Sacramento in a 1951
English car.
His small car slammed into the
rear of a parked truck near Wil­
liams, 140 miles north of San
Francisco. The driver of the
huge semi-trailer truck loaded
with baled hay had pulled to the
side of the road to check his
lights.
Imakire suffered massive in­
juries to head, chest and limbs as
the roof of the car was sheared
off by the impact. Postcards he
had intended to mail to his
parents in Mission City were
found scattered about in the in­
terior of the car.

TO DISPLAY WIDE RANGE OF SPECIALTIES

@ Just Jottings...

Six trade experts from Japan,
headed by Isamu Takagi of To­
kyo, are in Toronto preparing the
Japan section at this year’s Can­
adian National Exhibition which
is opening next week, Aug. 20.
The 4.000 square feet which has
been reserved represents the
largest space that Japan has oc­
cupied.
The Japan Tourist Association’s
booth will occupy one side of the
exhibits in the north wing of the
Government Building. The booth
is of typical Japanese design and
has been designed by the noted
architect Iwao Yamawaki, Lead­
ing Japanese textile companies,
Metropolitan
Tokyo,
Olympic
Fishing* Equipment, Okayamaken and the Furuya Co. of Toron­
to will display their specialties
on the same side of the wing.

On the opposite side will be
the industrial equipment displays
by the Fuji Heavy Industry,
Daiichi Bussan, and the Nippon
Kokkan. For the first time, a Ja­
panese small car, the Datsun
.1000, will be shown, together
with a rabbit scooter' manufac­
tured by the Fuji Heavy Industry.
In the centre will be an infor­
mation booth, displays by the Ja­
panese government and leading
camera companies. Miss Sumire
Katsuyama
will
demonstrate
knitting machines for the. Friend
Knitting Co.
Another big attraction will be
the fireworks display on the
night of August 29. The special
display will demonstrate some of
the more delicate and colorful
uses to which explosives can be
put.

Japan Waitresses Tops For Charm

TOKYO.—There may be beau­
tiful waitresses in other countries
of the world, but none of them
can compare with the beauty,
grace and charm of a Japanese
gh'l.
This is the concensus of world
travellers visiting Tokyo and it
bears out Prof. Makoto Suetaka’s
theory that “women in. countries
with ' a high degree of social
security are less charming and
interesting than women in other
countries.”
“Social security is the greatest

tions director of Mainichi news­
papers in Tokyo, said “there just
aren’t enough waitresses in
France and Italy to make a g*ood
comparison with Japanese girls.
In all the leading European res­
taurants and hotels, men do the
serving.”Of the persons interviewed, all
were unanimous that they would
rather be served by a pretty and
pleasant waitress than a man in
a waiter’s uniform.
Mr. Watanabe said any com­
parison of waitresses in any other
country of the world with Japan’s
kimono-clad beauties is unfair
“because- we have more girls
working in restaurants than any
other country.”
Mrs. Maxine Thompson, wife
of a U.S. executive in Asia, said
“there’s just no comparison. In
Japan, you get service as soon as
you sit down in a restaurant.
And always with a smile. This
can’t be said for anv other coun­
try.”

David H. Hickler, regional
director of the Civil Air Trans­
port, exclaimed,“Japan is No. .1
for service, waitresses and cor­
diality.”
In Stockholm, “the service
wasn’t friendly, but it wasn’t un­
friendly,” Mr. Hickler said. “In
Denmark, service was good, but
it seemed all the waiters had
their hands out (for a tip).”
Mr. Hickler named Australia as
the worst country, in the world
for good service.
Thor Johnson, of a U.S. maga­
zine, said: “Without a doubt, ja­
pan has the best waitresses in
the world, the United States the
worst.!'
Prof. Suetaka may not have
used much research in develop­
ing his theory, but it would seem
that world travellers tend to
agree with him that in Asia,
where, there is little social secur­
ity, the waitresses outshine their
counterparts in Europe and the
United States.

Vancouver Chinese Can't Afford to Marry
Canadian Women, Expect Less in Hong Kong
By SIMMA HOLT
HONG KONG—Vancouver Chi­
nese say they seek brides here—
6,800 miles from Vancouver—be­
cause they can’t afford to sup­
port Canadian Chinese women in
the style to which they are ac­
customed.
I overheard this view in the
crowded outer office of the Can­
adian immigration chief in the
Far East, G. Ernest White.
The Vancouver man, who askedthat his name not be used, ex­
plained :

“We have to own a car, a
home and a business to get a
wife in Canada. Not many of
us have all that, so we must
come to Hong Kong to find
women who expect less.”

Another'man in the group said:
“On the other hand, I know that
the brides who leave here for
Canada are disappointed because
in Canada they cannot have their
amahs.”
Amahs are serving girls who
work in almost every home in
China and Japan for room, food
and a few dollars a month. Western and Chinese women have as
many as two or three amahs and

therefore don’t do any houso
work or baby tending.
Mr. White and his two assis­
tants interviewed 1,600 to 2,000
applicants a month.
Immigration is restricted to
first degree relatives of Canadian
Chinese.
Between 300 and 400 a year
are brides in contract marriages.
The number of bride applications
for Canada—the majority for
Vancouver—has increased in re­
cent months.
Many of the brides, says Mr.
White, were childhood friends in
Chinese villages of the prospec­
tive grooms.
Others didn’t know their future
husbands. The marriages were
arranged by a marriage broker
or relatives of the bride or groom.
Air. White has given quite a
few “old brides” permission to
enter Canada to marry widowers.
The widowers are lonesome or un­
able to care for themselves and
are “not too fussy.”
Only one case has “soured,”
says Mr. White. That was the re­
cent Vancouver case in which the
bride-elect fell in love with an
American on the ship crossing to
Canada. She refused to go
through with the contracted Can­
adian marriage.

TACKLE TIPS

Prevention of Rod Breaking
Very few rods are actually
broken on fish. I guess more rods
are broken on car* doors than anything else. We generally lean our
rods on the front of the car, so
far proving to be successful or
lucky.
The next worst offender' is
snag's. When snagged it’s o.k. to
jiggle the rod but never rear back
on the rod with brute force. We
generally jiggle the rod a few
times, then perhaps pull at the
snag from a different direction.
Another hint for rocky bottoms
is: >point the rod at the snag and
pull on the line till it’s taut and
suddenly let g'o. The weight of
the lure jumping back sometimes
causes the snag to unhook itself.
If everything fails, point the rod
at the darn snag, pull on the line
till it breaks or the hook straight­
ens out/
Emergency Rod Repair's
Never try to jam the broken
rod into tire broken splinter or
ferrule (joints). Stop swearing
and just overlap the broken ends
about 6 inches, and tape or tie
them together. Later a new fer­
rule can be put in at the break
and the rod may be quite usable
though the balance will never be
the same.

A Visit to Mexico City

CITY OF CONTRAST
By NANCY TAKEUCHI
Mexico City is to me one of the most fascinating places one
could visit—such a contrast of the vibrant and the suppressed, the
hauntingly beautiful and the sharply, ugly, the educated and the
poor. It is seventy-four thousand feet above sea level sprawling on
a sixty by thirty mile basin surrounded by mountain-peaks. And
because of its location, the afternoon rains come during the summer
months barely touching the ground before being soaked up by the
dry ground* and thirsty air.
■Mexico City has its lovely residential areas with large, pasteltinted homes and spacious gardens. On a warm day, the young nines
and ninas are escorted on their walks"by their Indian nurses through
the tree-shaded avenidas. Not far away are the districts comprised
solely of small adobe huts with no hint of green on the ground,
dwelling places for the destitute and the sick. Such a difference
within a few blocks distance!^
On downtown Avenida Juarez, the sun-glassed, camera-toting
tourist bargains fervently with a barefooted peddlar who is selling
either- silver jewellery, leather goods or lottery tickets—his only
chance of success. Apparently it is expected that the quoted price
be bargained down and we found it amusing to hear distorted
Spanish words fall out of our mouths in the process. In the warm
afternoons I bought buns at a panaderia and sat in -the fountainsplayed, cool Alameda in downtown Mexico City or in wooded Chapultepec Park watching the leisure-loving Mexicans amble along—
the well-dressed businessmen, clutching their newspapers and barefeet children minding the younger ones on their backs.
And talking of good food-—there are many exotic restaurants
where good food is to be had at - reasonable prices. I dined
many times at the three restaurants of Sanborn’s on Mexican en­
chiladas or came asada or plain chocolate ice cream. And places
like Santa Anita, Shirley’s Courts and the hotel dinning-rooms are
to be recommended. Delmonico’s, one of Mexico’s best restaurants,
serves delicious international cuisine and exotic drinks. We. sat near
the pond with its overhanging gardens and enjoyed frogs legs. The
service was so excellent that every time I took a mouthful of water
from the goblet, the waiter came to replace the twenty cc’s or so.
Slightly apprehensive, I went to the Corrida de Toros to see
the bulls being massacred by a long succession of matadors, pica­
dors and banderillos. At first, I thought how cruel it was to see
eight or so grown men picking on. one bull but after seeing a few
courageous lithe manouveurs, I saw the sport of the game and
shouted. “Ole” with the erbwd. After an exceptionally daring en­
counter, the crowd became a riot of noise and movement, and I
helped celebrate by partaking of a squirt of pulque juice from a
squeezable leather bag. Ole!
Ciudad Universidad is the impressive modern university of
Mexico imparting knowledge to about forty thousand students. The
sparingly spaced buildings are decorated with frescoes done b^
various noted Mexico painters and the effect is quite striking. The
campus itself covers hundreds of acres, and is dotted with the dif­
ferent faculties, each with its individual design and decoration. The
stadium where the Pan-American games were held overlooks, a
panorama of the university; and beyond, the skyline of Mexico
.dissipates into the-horizon.
There are still many more places of interest in and around
Mexico City. At Xochimilco, we rode in flower-decked gondolas
around the narrow canals which were originally just a lake, and
bought lovely baby orchid corsages to wear on our dresses. We
climbed the pyramid to the Sun at San Juan Teotihuacan and
obtained a breath-taking view of the surrounding ruins and country­
side—a reminder of a mighty ancient civilization. It was interest­
ing to see the many people at the Shrine of Guadalupe honoring
the Virgin Mary. There was such a contrast between -the richlyembroidered gowns of the attendants and the dirty, smelly rags of
the majority of the worshippers.
The Palacio de Bellas Artes is the cultural centre housing a
museum and gallery where we saw “Tosca” with Rosita Rimroch
playing to a maximum house. Contrary to popular opinion, the
Mexican, people seemed quite calm and reserved. We also saw the
glass curtain there, made by Tiffany of New York, showing the byo
famous mountains of Mexico: Popocatepetl, the Smoking Mountain,
and Ixtaccihuatl, the Sleeping Woman. The colors on the curtain
changed from the subtle hues of dawn to the fiery display of vivid
reds and purples and blacks to dark blue night. It was quite dra­
matic although slightly over-rated by the travel-books. There is a
romantic legend—like all of fascinating Mexico—connected with
these two cerras.
Ixtaccihuatl was the daughter of a mighty chief and in love
with a brave, Popocatepetl—courageous but a commoner. He ap­
proached her* father for her hand and he agreed to it if he accomp­
lished the. feat of driving the tribal foes out of the land. So, Popo­
catepetl left and fought war after war until all the enemy had
been conquered. In the meantime, some of. his jealous rivals in Lopes
of winning her had brought word back to the maiden that he had
been killed. The princess fell ill of a malady no medicine man v ar­
able to frighten away. Upon returning to claim the maiden, Popo­
catepetl found her dead. In anguished grief, he picked her up tend­
erly and walked away to the mountains. When night fell, he sei
her rest on a mountain as he stood nearby with a flaming toiyu
keeping constant vigilance. And so the gods immortalized their lo' e
—to this day the snow-clad outline of Ixtaccihuatl. is apparent on
a clear ’day and nearby, Popocatepetl sits, a volcano keeping eternal
vigilance.
