Dying to Apologize
TOKYO. — Tokyo’s new and
still unused 1091-foot TV tower
had its first suicide victim last
week. A 21-year old youth leaped
from a restaurant located on the
A?0-foot level. Police found a note
in his pocket saying: “I didn’t
steal her heart, but apologize
with my death.”

Toppling Business
WELLAND, ONT.—Jim Tanouye and Ed Ogura, co-own­
ers of a garage in Hamilton
for many years, turned to a
new business venture recently.
They are now operating the
Welland Bowl, and are believed
to be the first Nisei operating
a bowling alley in Canada.

UNESCO Begins 3-Year Project of Translating
Abstract Aspects of Japanese Intellectual Life
TOKYO.—In keeping with the
UNESCO objective of a program
to promote mutual understanding
of the value of Western and
Eastern cultures, the Japanese
National Commission for UNES­
CO has begun a three-year pro­
ject for the translation of liter­
ary works on Japanese thought
and ideology.
While interest in Western
countries in Japanese culture has
grown in recent years, it is still
far from complete. Japanese
novels in translation have been
appreciated abroad, but there
have been few attempts to trans­
late works dealing with the more
abstract aspects of Japanese in­
tellectual life which would give
foreigners a full understanding
of Japan and its people.
The objective is to translate
three books in full and to sum­
marize 12 more in the three-year

period. Books will be selected fox'
translation in accordance with
certain standards that have been
set up in consultation with about
10 authorities on philosophy, re­
ligion and thought.
^Another project of the Com­
mission is the compilation of a
dictionary for foreigners. The
book will provide an impartial
basis for understanding Japan,
having economic and social pro­
files of contemporary Japan and
its literature, fine arts, religion
and ideologies. The folk-lore of
the nation will be described ex­
tensively in order that the reader
may acquire a background of the
deep-rooted manners and customs
of Japan.
About 200 writers have taken
part in the work—the book, en­
titled “Japan, Its Land, People
and Culture”,* is expected to be
published by the end of this year.



Donations

Japanese Marriages Record Highest in History

TORONTO.—A total of $962
has been sent through the Tor­
onto Japanese Consulate for vic­
tims of the typhoon which hit
Japan recently. Japanese Cana­
dians at Hamilton also sent the
sum of $100 through the Consu­
late this week, it was announced.

TOKYO.—Japanese boys and
girls are swarming to the altai'
this year in the greatest mar­
riage boom in the nation’s his­
tory.
According to welfare ministry
figures, close to 850,000 couples
will wed before the year ends.
About seven out of every ten
couples go through the tradition­
al Shinto ceremony, sipping cere­
monial wine to close the deal in­
stead of muttering, “I do.”
The rest are married in Budd­
hist or Christian ceremonies,
that involve little more than tak­
ing an oath in front of relatives
or friends and going off on a
honeymoon.
There also has been a crop of
off-beat marriages this year.
One couple was married in

front of a hippo cage at the Na­
goya Zoo, because the Japanese
believe the hippopotamus makes
the most faithful spouse in the
animal kingdom.
Another* traded vows on top of
a television tower. And several
dozen couples imitating Western
examples, were married in front

Gift to Toronto Ready
For Early Delivery
The donation of 2,000 cherry
trees to the city of Toronto which
originated in May of last year
with Japanese Canadians resid­
ing here has become a reality.
Announcement that the first
shipment of the second largest
donation ever to leave Japan will
arrive next March was disclosed
in a communique received this
week from Mr. K. Tsuyuki, NC
correspondent in Tokyo.
The largest was in 1912 when
the late Yukio, Ozaki, Mayor of
Tokyo, donated the famous trees
to Washington, D.C.
The communique further stated
that upon request from the spe­
cial body of the Japanese Cana­
dian Centre Committee handling
matters here, he, Mr. Tsuyuki,
approached Metropolitan Tokyo
authorities regarding the dona­
tion and was informed that 1,000
cherry tree sapling’s had already
been selected and were ready for
shipment.

The trees, about three feet in
height, are said to be chiefly
“Somei-Yoshino”
which
is
thought to be better suited for
Canadian weather by Japanese
tree experts. Tokyo officials also
informed him that they intend
handling all necessary export
procedures.
It all started when interested
persons in Toronto thought that
a donation of the famous trees
might be better appreciated
rather than words, deeds, or
displays as an expression of
gratitude for accepting JCs as
newcomers and fellow Canadians
following the evacuation at the
conclusion of World War II. Thus
the idea of presenting the color­
ful trees to the residents of Tor­
onto came into being.
The city park commission has
hinted that they will possibly be
planted around the new city hall
and in High Park.

On Civic Election
Since The New Canadian is an
independent organ for Canadians
of Japanese origin, the following
strictly represents my own per­
sonal views and not the news­
paper’s.
In the forthcoming- civic elec­
tion campaign in - Toronto and
surrounding
municipalities,
I
noted three very interesting per­
sonalities among the contestants.
They are Bill Dennison who is
running for the office of Con­
troller, Gus Harris who is a can­
didate for Reeve of Scarboro and
Ford Brand who is contesting
for Mayor of Toronto.
Mr. Dennison is long noted as
the champion of “the little man”,
and in the past 17 years he has
served the people of Toronto as
School Trustee, MPP, and Aider­
man. The only Board of Control
candidate in the coming elections
with both Board of Education
and Provincial Parliament ex­
perience, Dennison takes all pro­
blems seriously. One, for exam­
ple, resulted in his fighting for
three years to get Federal and
Provincial help for unemploy­
ment insurance. He pointed out
that it was unreasonable to force
a man to desert his family in
order to put them on relief if he
was out of work. “It was not fair
to expect Toronto to pay 100%
of relief costs if a taxpayer was
unemployed,” he says. Largely
as a result of his efforts, the fol­
lowing division of costs was
agreed upon in 1957: Federal
government, 50 percent; provin­
cial government, 30 percent; and
city government, 20 percent. Con­
sequently the new set-up will

Eleven More Days
To Enter Contest
Deadline for The New Can­
adian’s Literary Contest has
been extended eleven days to
Wednesday, Dec. 3 in order to
ensure that those persons who
have been thinking of entering
will have ample time to pre­
pare their manuscripts.
We have already received
entries from across Canada,
but there is certainly room for
more. Note that the kind of
entry is unlimited and that the
contest is open to all readers.
So this is your chance to break

save Toronto taxpapers about $2
million a year.
Matter of fact', he has devoted
his time and energy for the wel­
fare of the common people, and
you might recall his many actions
towards the cause of social jus­
tice. It should be emphasized
that since the present “Labor”
Controller, Ford Brand, will be
out as he is running for Mayor,
the gap must be filled by Denni­
son.
Mr. Harris has served the
municipality of Scarboro since
1949 as School Trustee, Counciller, Vice-Chairman and DeputyReeve before he was elected as
Reeve in 1956. But his work for
the common man started long be­
fore that. Realizing the hard­
ships suffered by the unemploy­
ment and ■ the rejected young
men from the Armed Forces,
he founded the Federal Work
Finding Service Clubs in 1939.,
The “Work-Finders”, as they
were known, was under the
patronage of prominent men in
business and public life from
coast to coast.
When jobs became more plenti­
ful, the young men under the
leadership of Gus Harris turned
their attention to other social
problems. A research group was
formed and many briefs were
presented to all levels of govern­
ment. Many of the recommenda­
tions made that were' beneficial
to young people were implement­
ed.
In the years that followed,
Harris did a lot of free lance
writing. His contributions on so­
cial and economic matters ap­
peared in weekly newspapers in
many parts of the country. And
it might be worth noticing that
he is the director of public rela­
tions for the Ontario , Credit
Union League.
The candidate for Mayor of
Toronto, Ford Brand is 54 years
old. He first ran for Board of
Control in 1951 and was elected
to the Board in 1952. He ha? been
on the Board ever since. When he
became Controller he had no pre­
vious civic experience but during
his service he established a good
reputation as a hardworking,
able, efficient and experienced
administrator and a man who
thoroughly understands municip­
al affairs and is an- expert on
