Note To United Nations

This the first half 'of New Canadian writer. Tommy
Mitsunaga’s article, “Where The Potato Is King.” Writer, Mitsuna­
ga reveals that the “Kings” in this field are mostly Japanese Cana­
dians whose annual earnings frequently exceed the $100,000.00 mark.

TORONTO. — The Rev. Newton Ishiura of
the Toronto Buddhist Church has sent a message
to the Secretary General of the. United Nations,
U Thant, expressing the hope of Canadian Budd­
hists for a successful solution against the perse­
cution of Buddhists in South Vietnam under the
Diem regime.
He expressed the fervent hope that the U.N.
will find a “successful level of communication”
with President Ngo Dinh Diem's government, that
peace will be restored and that religious freedom

will prevail. He also expressed his deep sympathy
for the sufferings of the Buddhists there.
Consideration of the Vietnam crises was one
of the highlights of the recent 3-day ministerial
conference of the Buddhist Churches of America
held in California. The subject is also expected to
turn up at the Canadian Buddhist. Minister's
conference to be held on October 11th in Toronto.
The highlighting theme for this meet will be called,
“.Mission and Responsibilities of Buddhists in Can­
ada.”

cial aid to South Vietnam, many

VAUXHALL, Alta.—It takes big machinery such as the patoto
harvester (top) to work the big Alberta potato fields. Shown (be­
low) is a portion of the farm of one of Alberta’s Potato Kings the
Kanegawa brothers, Stan and Richard.

By THOMAS MITSUNAGA

It is said that Sir Walter Raleigh brought the tobacco and the}
potato plants to England. Surprisingly they are of the same family
but whose results are very different. One has proved to be a curse
to mankind and the other a blessing.
No where in Canada is the potato cultivated more extensively
or expertly as in southern Alberta, especially in the Vauxhall, Taber
and Brooks regions. This area lies to the east north-east of the city
of Lethbridge which according* to the billboards (whether one drives
or flies in) proclaim as the irrigation capital of Canada. Well might
it be so, for this rich farming area is served by a network of one of
the most extensive irrigation complexes in North Albei'ta.
South Albertans like to boast of their part of Alberta as the
sunny south for with its warm summers and cool nights, coupled
with sandy loam soil, make it one of the most intensive mixed farm­
ing areas in North America. Wheat, sugar beets, peas, corn, sun­
flower, beans, cucumbers and potatoes are raised here in addition
to prize livestock.
In the small hamlet of Vauxhall, however, the potato is king.
The potato industry here is probably quite unique in that most of
Jie growers are of Japanese origin. The few growers of other nafonality have long since departed for other endeavors. In fact, in
the Vauxhall area which is biggest in terms of acreage, 3000-35001
ajes. and constititutes over 50% of the. entire south’s acreage, the
industry was (pioneered by two enterprising Japanese firms, M. Taniaoki and R. Shibata, a former Imperial Navy (Japan) veteran,
b n'sx of the modern day entrepreneurs was M. Inaba whose fore?;ghx probably resulted in the area’s importance today.
Oddly enough, there are only 12 independent farm units which
^U"n out this huge crop worth, in monetary terms, upwards of two
mullion dollars. For academic interest to readers they are: K. KitafTM1' Tom Tajiri, Kanegawa Bros. (Richarda nd Stan), who incidenwiuj were the first farmers to own their land. K. Chiba, Shigemi
(Tak and George). Tetsu Tajiri. Kaz Tajiri, Y. Okuma andi
1. Tashiro (one unit), M. Uchida, M. Inaba, Y. Yamashita, and pio
"^r ^’ Tamaoki. Apart from the Vauxhall region, other growers of
consequence are the Ohama family holdings in Brooks, and the Na^mura and Ohashi units in the Taber area.

1963 Japanese Youth Goodwill
Mission will arrive in Toronto by
bus via Niagara Falls on Thurs­

Nisei Americans March For Civil Rights
It was important that Americans of Japanese ancestry be re­
presented in the massive Aug. 28 March in Washington for Jobs and
Freedom. Thanks to the National Japanese American Citizen’s Lea­
gue (JACL), the Nisei were there.
A numbex- of Japanese Americans participated as individuals,
ox- as members of other delegations, but rhe JACL reportedly was
the only organization of Americans of Oriental descent to pax*ticipate in the march which impressed the nation with its quiet purpose, its
dignity and its good manners. Though the congressional lineup oxx
President Kennedy’s Civil Rights bill may not have beexx immedia­
tely affected, the long-range effect of this daylong demonstration
in the national capita.! will be an enduring one. The march has ad­
vanced the cause of civil rights for the Nisei and fox- all Americans.

Incidentally, the only Japanese American to be singled out for
national press and radio-TV attention was unidentified. He was the
young man who was approached by a CBC reporter during the march
between the Washington and the Lincoln memorials.
“And here’s a young Japanese American in the line of march,” the
