Japanese-Canadian community asked for aid in suicide study
TORONTO.—- Dr. Toyo Fuse, a sociologist at
York University, is doing a study of comparative
suicide. Already he’s studied the suicide rates of
countries like Japan and France, and he’s now doing
a survey of Japanese Canadians.
This is a scientific study. And all information
is strictly confidential.

If you know of a case where a Japanese Canadian
has committed suicide, Dr. Fuse would appreciate
knowing the following things: Where, When, By
What Means, Age, Male or Female, and Occupat-

ion. The name of the person is not as important to
know.
Dr. Fuse feels his suicide studies are another way
in which Japanese Canadians can understand them­
selves in real terms. He would like to receive infor­
mation by November 20th, 1979.
Please send information to either Dr. T. Fuse,
Division of Social Sciences, Faculty of Arts, York
University, Downsveiw Ontario; or you may contact
