panese are happy over the forthcoming of a new
holiday—Kenkoku Sai or National Founder’s Day on
February 11.
Until the end of World Wai- II, that day was cele
brated as Kigensetsu—the commemoration of the ac
cession of Jimmu Tenno, the first emperor of Japan
in 660 B.C.
With the occupation, General MacArthur dropped
this holiday on grounds that this date was not accurate
though Japanese historians argued that the date was
calculated from the Kojiki and Nihongi, the oldest
written history of Japan.
It was after scholars and historians argued .and dis
cussed this in recent years as well as numerous sur
veys of public sentiment that the government pro
mulgated Kenkoku Sai on Dec. 9.
Japanese socialists, communists, the Sokagakkai and
Christian groups are strongly opposed bo the revival;
of this holiday. Yet, the Japanese people are getting:
ready to observe the National Founder’s Day in a peace
ful mood and have the Rising Sun Flag hoisted in front,
of their homes and offices.
Japanese Calendar
Japan borrowed from China many thing's; some'were discarded, other's changed to her own needs, But*
the calendar has remained fixed.
In order, tire years are named:
Ne (rat), Ushi (bull), Tora (tiger), U (rabit), Tat
su (dragon), Mi (snake), Uma (horse), Hitsuji (sheep),
Saru (monkey), Tori (fowl), Inu (dog), and I (boar).
Tradition holds that when Buddha died, the people
and these 12 animals gathered. The cat was missing;
legend ^holding that the cat had eaten the medicine
for Buddha. So the cat is omitted from this list—so
we are told.

TORONTO.—The . government of Japan last
week presented an important collection of books
to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. Worth
about $2,500, the 39 titles in 82 Japanese-language
volumes are source and reference works on the

history of Japan.
They were presented to Peter Swann, Directoi'
of the ROM, by Ryoko Ishikawa, the new Japa
nese Consul-General in Toronto, in a ceremony
at the Museum Tuesday, Jan. 24. It was the
first official duty for Mr. Ishikawa since his ar
rival in Toronto a month ago from Dublin where;
he opened the first Japanese embassy in the Re
public of Ireland since the second world war. He
served in Dublin for three years as Charge
d’Affaires.
For Mr. Swann, the occasion was an opportunity to chat briefly in Japanese. However, the

CATERING SERVICE — “TAKE-OUT” ORDERS
TORONTO. — Most older Japanese Canadians are aware
that this Canadian Centennial Year is also the twenty-fifth
anniversary of our “Relocation”. Indeed it was in the beginning
of 1942 when most of us were dispersed to the various “intern
ment camps” via Hastings Park. A quarter of a century is a very
long time. During those years a whole new generation with hardly
any memory of the “camp” days has grown up. Even those who
remember have brought a great change in their mode of life.
The change was usually for the better — in many cases, far be
yond the dreams of pre-war years.

Still, those few years before and after Pearl Harbor* remain
with us as something very important, an experience in which we
all shared for better or for worse. Now that we are scattered
■widely over the country, not only geographically but also socially,
the memory of those years is one of the few bonds that bind us
together. It is still a common custom of greeting among us to ask
each other where we lived during the war. But we are getting
more and more forgetful and this bond is becoming ever tenuous.
It is time we reminded ourselves of our past all over again.
Whenever we talked about those years in the past we did
so often "with sentimentality, embarrassment, or even bitterness.
But now we are sufficiently removed from them and much more
confident of ourselves to take a relaxed and humorous attitude.

CATERING SERVICE — “TAKE-OUT” ORDERS
TORONTO. — Most older Japanese Canadians are aware
that this Canadian Centennial Year is also the twenty-fifth
anniversary of our “Relocation”. Indeed it was in the beginning
of 1942 when most of us were dispersed to the various “intern
ment camps” via Hastings Park. A quarter of a century is a very
long time. During those years a whole new generation with hardly
any memory of the “camp” days has grown up. Even those who
remember have brought a great change in their mode of life.
The change was usually for the better — in many cases, far be
yond the dreams of pre-war years.

Still, those few years before and after Pearl Harbor* remain
with us as something very important, an experience in which we
all shared for better or for worse. Now that we are scattered
■widely over the country, not only geographically but also socially,
the memory of those years is one of the few bonds that bind us
together. It is still a common custom of greeting among us to ask
each other where we lived during the war. But we are getting
more and more forgetful and this bond is becoming ever tenuous.
It is time we reminded ourselves of our past all over again.
Whenever we talked about those years in the past we did
so often "with sentimentality, embarrassment, or even bitterness.
But now we are sufficiently removed from them and much more
confident of ourselves to take a relaxed and humorous attitude.

they tend to be more communalized.
Walter Wong: I don’t agree with that. The Japanese commu

at all. They are not like the Chinese.
Kathy Nelson: Even though they live apart, they tend to do
many things together. There is a strong group feeling, and I think
this tends to hold back expressions of individuality for fear of
what the group . might think.

Kathy Nelson: I would say that I am not extremely connected
