Financial Study of J.C. Centre
TORONTO.—Studies on the
Japanese Canadian Centre’s main­
tenance and sources of income
show that there is sufficient po­
tential income to offset operat­
ing expenses. This is particularly
so if the bowling- proposal is to
be included in the overall opera­
tion.
Forecasting the income for the
Centre poses a very difficult, pro­
blem as true income figures will
not be known until the Centre is
in actual operation. Studies have
been made by considering numer­
ous possible activities and asses­
sing each for its income poten­
tial.
Expense figures, on the
other hand, can be arrived at
with reasonable accuracy.

Past and present committees
have made thorough studies of
this aspect of the Centre. The
Program Planning- Committee is,
at present, conducting a new
study of the existing. JC organi­
zations. Board members are con­
tinually studying one type of
program or another determiningprobable cost and assessing the
potential (income of each. At the
present time the Board is study­
ing the best income deriving me­
thod of operating the food serv­
ices for the expected daily needs
and for the special requirements
or receptions etc. Expense fi­
gures of similar organizations are
used for comparison purposes and
as a basis for further study.

Kennedy Boat Bashers Claim
It Was All A Big Mistake
TOKYO.—A former destroyer
squadron commander in the Ja­
panese navy during World War
II said his warship rammed “by
mistake” the torpedo boat skip­
pered by President John F. Ken­
nedy 19 years ago in the south
Pacific.
Katsumori Yamashiro, former
captain in the Imperial navy, said

DEATH HITS TOUR
STEVESTON, B.C.—One Ja­
panese
Canadian
traveller
among the first group present­
ly touring Japan died sud­
denly at Chiba-Ken. The late
Mrs. Koseki from Steveston,
B.C. died on February 19, 1961.
She is survived by a son, Mr.
Eiichi Koseki.

Oooops!
Mention was not-given to the
photographer of last Satur­
day's picture of the Toronto
Japanese Canadian Emblem
Design winner. Stanley Shikatani. It was taken by our own
Jimmy Hayashi. Sorry Jim!

Contemporary

the PT boat commanded by Ken­
nedy, then a navy lieutenant
(J.G.), was “sitting still” in the
water and Japanese efforts to
avert a collision failed.
This statement contradicted a
previous story by Yamashiro that
his flagship Amagiri had deli­
berately rammed Kennedy’s boat
in the Blackett strait west of
New Guinea.
Yamashiro said he sighted
Kennedy’s boat at 1,000 yards.
“I feared the boat might ex­
plode if we collided with her and
I immediately gave orders to
right the wheel.”
He said the bridge tried to
carry out his order “but it was
too late and the Amagiri ram­
med the enemy boat.”
Two members of Kennedy’s
crew were killed instantly Aug.
2, 1943, when the P.T. craft was
on patrol. Kennedy was injured
when he was hurled onto the
deck. The Amagiri steamed on
-without reducing- speed.
Kennedy subsequently swam
with his men—pulling one injur­
ed comrade all the way—to a
’small island from which they
were later rescued.

Champion Weightlifter Tommy Kono
Accepts Bid To Compete In Russia
1958. He beat the Russians in all
three meets. Last year, Kono de­
clined an invitation to compete
again in Russia because of a knee
injury, which has not quite re­
gained its former strength.
Berger, the 1956
Olympic
champion and world 132-pound
titleholder in 1958, is working
here and training with Kono.

EVERYONE URGED TO
ATTEND CENTRE MEET
TORONTO.—A special meeting
of the Toronto Japanese Cana­
dian Centre is to be held at the
Centre Stage, 80 Bloor Street
East (opposite Towne Cinema),
on Sunday, March 12th at 7:30
P.M.
The new model of the Centre,
designed by Architect Raymond
Moriyama, will be unveiled as
well as a large group of interior
drawings.
Previews of the model for the
Centre show a magnificent de­
sign of simplicity and quiet
strength, modernistic lines with
a touch of the oriental; a beauti­
ful blending of the building with
the landscape surroundings—in
short, the model and drawings
must be seen for full apprecia­
tion of the values.
The final endorsement of the
bowling alleys proposal will be
taken at this meeting. This pro­
posal was endorsed in principal
by a general meeting during the
month of January.
Members are urged to attend
and not miss the opportunity to
see the model shown publicly for
the first time.

The Collegian
By HUM

Introducing for the first time, another new columnist for the
readers of The New Canadian. She is Grayce Yamamoto of Nelson,
B.C. who will be writing her columns under the pseudonym of HUM.
Grayce is a former reporter for the Nelson Times and is pre­
sently studying at Notre Dame College.

O woe, the trivial “absurdirties” that the scholar is forced to
endure in this modern age-of-the-atom quest for higher education
and learning.
Stimulated by the recent conspicuousness of faded blue jeans,
But in 1960, it gave way to beer and saw in­
tattered sweat shirts, and what appeared to be army boots on the
roads made by whiskey and vodka.

Sake Sipping Sliding

TOKYO.—Pity the poor sake-sipper of Japan.
Indignity upon indignity has been heaped on
his head.
The rice wine, for centuries the most, popular
drink in Japan, not only felT behind beer in public
^avor last year, but now some dastardly manufac­
turer wants to put it in square bottles just like
whiskey.
And one is even thinking of making bottles in
the shape of hip flasks, for the benefit of mountaineerers.
:
Popularity of sake, whose origin is buried in
antiquity, began dropping in 1956 although it held
the number- one spot in the heart of tipplers the
next three years.

HONOLULU. — Tommy Kono
and Isaac Berger, two of the
world’s top weightlifters who
make their home in Hawaii, have
accepted bids to compete in the
Russian International Invitational
meet March 9-11 in Moscow.
The official Russian invitation
was received by Kono and Ber­
ger through Dan J. Ferris, hon­
orary secretary of the National
A AU and Clarence H. Johnson,
president of the International
Weightlifting Federation.
For Kono the multiple division
Olympic and world champion, the
trip \dll be his third behind the
Iron Curtain.
He competed in Moscow and
Leningrad in 1955, setting a
world record in the latter city..
Kono also lifted in Moscow in

A study of the 1960 fig'ures
submitted to the Board of the
U.N.F. Hall. College Street, show
that in many respects their opera­
tion is similar to that proposed
for the Centre. The LLN.F. Build­
ing is valued at $400,000. and fur­
nishings at $40,000. These fig'ures
are approximately the same for*
the Centre. The U.N.F. property
(land only) is valued at $250,000.
and the Centre’s property has
cost $100,000. It is interesting
to note that the. Centre property
is more than 3 times larger than
the. U.N.F. lot.
Their income from the audi­
torium and gymnasium is given
as $50,000. and of this amount
$20,000. is contributed by the out­
side organizations who rent their
facilities—e.g. Niseis for dances.
The U.N.F. maintenance and
operating expenses are listed as
S36,000. (including taxes of $11,-

JUDO?
What is judo? A simplified answer to this question was given
By the late Jigoro Kano, the father of judo. Judo is the "use of
ones energy for a good purpose” and to "benefit others as well
as yourself". Judo originated in Japan and is now increasing
with popularity year by year the world over. With this growing
interest, judo has now been included as an official event in the
1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
Since its inception, the Toronto Kidokwan Judo Club, with
the late Mr. A. Kamino and other black belt holders, upheld
true judo principles both physically and spiritually for over ten
years. However, burdens of the dojo's upkeep are demanding.'
more than can be afforded even though Yudansha are donating
time and money.
The maintenance of the dojo was getting so expensive, that
parents and supporters' met last November to discuss the pos­
sibilities of relieving this tremendous pressure. After lengthy de­
bates, it -was unanimously decided to form "Kidokwan Judo
Koen-Kai".
Interest in judo among young Japanese Canadians in Metro
Toronto is surprisingly high in that there are more than one hun­
dred and fifty youngsters participating in weekly instructions
at Kidokwan. And in order to meet the expenses of maintenance,
the Koen-Kai has decided to appeal to all Japanese Canadians
and Canadians in Toronto, particularly families -with school
children, for financial support by becoming members and asking
them to send their youngsters to Kidokwan Judo Club.
Membership Bee $3.00 yearly.

THE

Objectionable Filmfare
By LARRY TAJIRI of the Pacific Citizen

Hollywood’s stereotype of the Japanese villain has been tradi­
tional, ever since the movies were truly the flickers. Back in 1909,
when Hollywood itself was still a slumbering suburb a long ways
from Pershing Square, one of the first of the anti-Japanese movies
was produced. This was called “The Japanese Invasion” and (pictur­
ed the Japanese valet of an American military officer who stole
military secrets concerning the defense of the west coast.
In the next dozen years, as Hollywood grew to be the motion
picture capital of the world and the movies burgeoned from tworeelers to films which took an hour or two to tell a story, more
than a score of pictures of anti-Japanese content were produced.
The Japanese, and the Chinese along with them, were among Holly­
wood’s favorite doers of evil deeds.
Some of these films were propaganda dramas, produced spe­
cifically to incite public opinion against the Japanese, resident and
overseas. Examples were , ‘Tatria,” the Hart serial which starred
Mrs. Vernon Castle and showed Warner Gland as a Japanese secret
agent involved in acts of sabotage within the American Legion cir­
culated In* 1920 as part of a campaign to support passage of the
anti-alien land. The latter film pictured California Japanese as
traitors.
Other anti-Japanese pictures of this period were not political in
content but conventionally used the Japanese as villains. Sessue
Hayakawa was the star of one called “The Cheat” in 1914 in which
he was shown branding Fanny Ward on the shoulder when she re­
fused his attentions.

“The Cheat” is notable in that it provoked probably the first
protest of any racial minority group against a Hollywood film. A
movement was initiated by the Japanese Association to buy the
negative from the studio and thus stop the release of the picture,
but the effort failed.
*
*
*
The Japanese American Citizen’s League in the 1940’s protested
to a number of Hollywood studios against the release of pictures
made during Hollywood’s early hysteria during World War II in
which Japanese Americans were designated as traitors. The films
included “Air Force” and “Across the Pacific,” both made by Warner
Bros., RKO’s “Betrayal from the East,” and Fox’s “Little Tokyo,
U.S.A.”
The JACL’s efforts did not stop circulation of the pictures, nor
did they halt the subsequent release of these films to television—
it would be naive to expect that the studios, with hundreds of thous­
ands of dollars invested in the pictures, would be so altruistic as to
junk the negatives. But JACL efforts undoubtedly were fruitful in
gaining Hollywood’s attention to the Nisei story as a whole.
As news of Nisei GIs was publicized, Hollywood later pro­
duced a number of films in which distinctions were made. One of
the first to reflect the changed climate was 20th Century Fox’s
“Daisy Kenyon” in which Dana Andrews, as a hot-shot eastern at­
torney, goes out to California to defend the property of a Nisei
soldier. The short sequence had nothing to do with the main story
of the picture, which starred Joan Crawford and. Henry Fonda. Fox
also toyed for a while with a project called “I Am a Nisei,” but the
script never got before the cameras. Later, thanks to Dore Schary,
Sammy Fuller and others, the study of the Nisei in war was told
in such films as “Go for Broke!,” “Steel Helmet,” and, more re­
cently, in “Pork Chop Hill” and “Hell to Eternity.”
*
*
*

Today, the Japanese villain is extinct in Hollywood. The sen­
sibilities of Japanese Americans aside. Hollywood doesn’t care to
rouse the disfavor of the movie audience in Japan, now that Nippon
is one of the prime foreign markets for’ Hollywood’s products.
But other minorities are feeling the heat. The Italian Americ­
ans are currently up in arms ovei' the plethora of gangsters of Italian
ancestry pictured in films and in TV drama, particularly on televi­
sion's “The Untouchables.”
The other day, protests from prominent Italian Americans drew
a concession from ABC-TV, which shows “The Untouchables” on its
network, that care will be taken not to offend persons of Italian
ancestry.
More recently, Chinese Americans have started a campaign to
ask delete certain portions of tire script of Allied Artists’ “Confes­
sions of an Opium Eater” which are considered offensive to persons
of Chinese descent. Chinese American actors hired for roles
brought the script to the attention of leaders in the Los Angeles
Chinese community.
Protests of this sort enter a delicate field, because such action
can be construed as censorship. It must be admitted that no racial
group has a monopoly on villains, or on heroes. Such action must
riot impinge upon the valid presentation of a character in a story.
However, as in the case of the Nisei—when Hollywood films
propagated myths regarding espionage and sabotage involving Ja­
panese Americans—the projection of the lies onto films can do un­
due harm to a minority group. In such cases, protests certainly are
ir. order.
We knew an actor in Hollywood who once turned down what,
to him, was the greatest opportunity of his movie career. He was
given a script for a film called “‘Marte Galante” but, when he read
the story, he found he was unable to play the role. “It was the best
part I've ever been offered,” the actor, the late Miki Morita, said
ruefully. “But the story called on me to play a Japanese who wants
to blow up the Panama Canal.”

THE NEW CANADIAN

Continued from page 1
000.), the Centre’s estimate is
$38,000. (including taxes of $10,000.)—the difference in these fi­
gures is in the higher salaries set
for the Centre’s administrative
personnel.
The estimate income from the
Centre proper’s operation is set in
the present studies as $55,000
and from its bowling operation as
$80,000; the expenses approxim­
ate $38,000. and $42,000. respec­
tively (expenses that cannot be
separated from the Centre pro­
per and bowling is included in
the first figure, these ‘ include
light and power, water, heating
and personnel). Payment for
bowling equipment, interest and
principal against loans will be
met adequately by the surplus of
income over expenses.
The income from the Centre’s
operation include figures from
rentals, movies, and theatre (con­
certs, shibais etc.), bazaars, open
house, special projects (annual
draws etcetera) food services
(snack bar, restaurant), recep­
tions, commercial displays, spe­
cial donations, membership and
others. The largest potential
source of income is from the ren­
tal of the auditorium and approx­
imately 10 other rooms that
would be available for dances and
socials, club and business meet­
ings, receptions, offices, athle­
tics, judo etc.
Rental possibilities are excep­
tionally good from sources out­
side of the JC community as stu­
dies show a dire shortage of good
facilities within Toronto for the
use by clubs and other organiza­
tions.
The present JC activities will
be enlarged by numerous asso­
ciate members from other ethnic,
social and business groups. This
is particularly desireable in the
promotion of art and culture at
the Centre. The board is confi­
dent that efficient management
and good promotion will make for
a highly successful operation of
the Centre.

beginning of the class; whereupon, he read the regulations for pro­
per classroom attire, and was promptly cudgelled with a verbal bat­
tery of loud protests for permitting a male, clad in a sweat shirt
and old jeans, to remain, while the young lady in slacks was “oust­
ed”, with retorts galore.
The criterion for dress has always been suitability and neat­
ness; there is actually no necessity for going to the extreme: Harris
tweeds and cashmere overcoats are fine in their place, but in a
small, growing institution such as this, whose students are limited
by moderate means, a little discrimination in selecting clothes and
neatness in wearing them, is sufficient. As the college expands, the
standard of dress will also rise accordingly, and will be strictly
adhered to.- But until that time, discretion, common sense, and pride
in appearance should be emphasized in dress and in personal hygiene,
this last being added on account of an amusing little incident which
occurred recently, (supposedly) wherein the librarian was forced to
have installed a can of “Airwick” in the library to dispell the effects
of the neglect of personal hygiene of certain of the student body,
and the faculty.
.
.
It has oft been quoted that clothes make the scholar; a neat
appearance makes for neat thinking, ete. and ad. nauseum. Well,
one might say, Einstein was no great dresser. Well, another might
reply, You’re no Einstein. Pinning the problem down, the question
in dispute is not one of appearance at the sake of economy and good
sense, but appearance for the .sake of presentability and suitability.
One does not come to college to take instructions in personal
hygiene and grooming habits, granted. Those are believed to have
been instilled in the individual at quite some earlier age. The slop­
piness of one will spread, not only for the sake of being a non-con­
formist type and. because it is less expensive, but because it is the
easier thing to do, and let’s face it, modern man is a lazy man.
Maudlinity breeds, not only discomfort, but distaste.
