OUR READERS WRITE
‘Confusion’
Mr. Editor:
I was somewhat confused by
the letter from Alice printed in
the March 19th issue concerning
the “Moot Point”, and still cannot
decide whether she disliked the
general presentation of the article
which included such sweepinggeneralizations as “building a
barrier against racial origin,” or
whether she was condemning a
Nisei who decided to marry a hakujin girl.
Perhaps Alice has some pro­
found thoughts about the column
which would take considerable
space to discuss. However, the
young
impressionable
reader,
whose opinions are being strong­
ly influenced by the material he

reads, would be left without much
“food for thought” from-the con­
text of her letter. Had she been
more clear about the specific as­
pect of the column she was con­
demning, and had she given some
fundamental definitions of what
she considered to be “right,
wrong, good, and bad”, then ex­
pressions she used such as, “with
distaste”, “second class materi­
als”,
“authoritative
persons”,
“out-of-line”, “short-sighted indi­
viduals” and “for the good of
standard of your newspaper”
would have taken on some mean­
ing for the reader.

—J. B.,

with the “typical” Nisei at a mi­
nimum.
I welcome your views for it is
high time the Nisei realize this
dilemna that it isn’t at all pleas­
ant or beneficial.

Editor:
The March 19, 1960 column
Topic was indeed interesting not
to mention a trouncing of a very
specific point of Nisei persona­
lity.
As for myself, I wholeheartedly
agi-ee with your views though
you were somewhat blunt in stat­
ing that “Alice” is the typical
Nisei one encounters in what you
have previously termed as “Nisei
society”.
However, it could be
that this is the sort of criticism
that is needed to awake all the
Alices. They are indeed, as you
mentioned, a smiling, lovely
group only when, however, one is
confronting them openly. I my­
self am overcome, at times nau­
seated, and have strived to keep
my experiences and association

We do not propose to show
minks, diamond-studded gowns
nor the latest creations with that
"all gone” look, nor will you find
the answers to these questions:
“where did the disappearing
waistline disappear to?” “is the
flat look here to stay?”, “should
the hemline go up %” or come
down ^”?”, but we do promise
you an appealing array of clothes
made by our own ladies, many
designed by them.
Our own models will display
sportswear,
daytime
casuals,

cocktail gowns, etc; fashions for
the tiny tots as well as grand­

will also show you the latest
fashions from Japan.

winter by sitting with us in a
pleasant spring and summer at­
