Kamloops JCs make
cook book to raise

KAMLOOPS, B.C. — As a
fundraising project for the
local cultural and senior citi­
zens drop-in centre, the Kam­
loops Japanese Canadian
Association has produced a
cook book, “Our Favorites in
Canadian Japanese Cookery.”
Nisei and Sansei Kamloop
residents hope the book will
not only raise the necessary
funds to aid the centre, but
preserve the unique J.C.
cooking culture for future
generations. The book covers
the full range from sushi to
snacks.
“This book contains a col­
lection of more than 150 re­
cipes that are the favorites of
the members of our associa­
tion. We call it Canadian
Japanese Cookery, as many
of the recipes are Canadian
adaptions — a “Japanese”
way of preparing foods found
in Canada;” said association
president Betty Inouye.
Recipes are divided into
sections according to ingredients and methods, ranging
from gohan (rice) and noodles
to mushimono (steamed
foods) and nabemono (onepot cookery.)
Japanese ingredients are
explained in the glossary, and
most are available every­
where.
Although some of the re­
cipes are very traditional in
method, the association has
'

provided a few for the modern
cook who uses a microwave
oven or other kitchen appli­
ances.
The recipes will appeal to
traditional and Canadianized
taste buds.
Directions are straightfor­
ward, and ease of preparation
has been kept in mind for
each recipe.
There is a section on met­
ric conversion and measure­
ments and weights, and help­
ful hints are scattered throu­
ghout. The ring binding
makes the book lie flat when
it's open.
With the success of this
first effort, perhaps we can
hope for a second project on
the Japanese style of food
carving and arranging.
The 100-page book sells for
$9.95, (plus $1.00 for postage
and handling) by writing to

nadian Association, 1724 Clif­

HONOLULU — Sometime
between 1935 and 1937, Gen.
George Patton, Jr., drafted
plans for taking 128 members
of Hawaii's Japanese com­
munity hostage if war broke
out between the United States
and Japan, a historian says.
Patton wrote the plan while
stationed in Hawaii as chief
of military intelligence opera­
tions, Michael Slackman, his­
torian of the USS Arizona
Memorial here, wrote in the
current issue of Biography
magazine.
The hostage plan was for- mulated on the instructions
of Major General Hugh Drum,
then the senior U.S. Army
officer in Hawaii, Slackman
said, but was discarded be­
fore World War II.

Playing a Japanese businessman

The Matsushita English self-teacher K9c:X^
TOKYO — Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. has tested a
computerized self-teaching English practice system that can
evaluate the pupil's pronunciation — the way of pronouncing
vowels, accent and intonation.
The system can tell how close the pupil's pronunciation
to the right pronunciation by showing a vowel map and an
accent and intonation graph on a computer display screen.
Before starting the practice, the pupil speaks the five Ja­
panese vowels — a, e, i, o, u — into the microphone. Then the
system on the basis of the pupil's Japanese pronounciation,
infers what would be his English vowel pattern if the pupil
were able to speak English correctly.
In the practice, a teacher's voice speaks first and the pupil
imitates it. Then the system's 16-bit central processing unit
compares the pupil's actual pronunciation and his inferred
English vowel pattern.
The system shows how close the-actual pronunciation is
to the projected ideal vowel pattern by using a vowel map and
an accent and intonation graph.
Matsushita said that it will be able to start selling a com­
mercialized version of the system by the end of next year.

tude of gifted and well-trained
actors and actresses, acting
is by any measure of the im­
agination, a fiercely compe­
titive field. The level of ffustration, anxiety and sense of
failure are quite high. Yet,
given all these variables, most
actors and actresses have a
deep desire for self-expres­
sion.
Well, two weeka ago some­
thing quite rare happened to
me. I got a paying job. I was
cast in my first major tele­
vision commercial and was
overjoyed. Actually nearly 25
other Asian and Asian-Ame­
rican actors were to be em­
ployed Jn the commercial, a
highly unprecedented num­
ber. The commercial was for
a major national communica­
tions corporation and was to
be produced by one of the
largest ad agencies in the
business.
Most of us arrived early to
the studio in order to be fitted
and made up. There was a
quiet air of awkward jubila­
tion from most of the actors
and a knowing feeling that all
were here to work on a pro­
ject together rather than com­
pete for a job.
Finally, by mid-morning we
were all. ushered into a large
soundset where a makeshift
classroom was created. All of
us by this time were dressed
in very conservative, gray
business suits. In fact, we
looked like a congregation of
stereotypical Japanese Busi­
nessmen,-clearly what the
commercial demanded.

As we took our seats, qua­
lity control handbooks were
atop each desk. These were
to serve as our props and to
further enhance a specific
image of the Japanese as
astute, disciplined and grouporiented in behavior. Though
none of us was given any
dialogue to speak, all of us
were directed to follow in
precise sequence certain phy­
sical actions with mirror-like
precision. And though we
were 25 individuals, we mov­
ed as one inert, expression­
less uniform group.
As the shooting drew to a
close, we were asked by the
director to give that old,
Oriental bow to end the com­
mercial. This was said quite
candidly and innocently with­
out the slightest hint of
malice. Yet, this brought a
highly unfavorable vocal re­
action from several of us. I
was quite angered at the sug­
gestion and felt compelled to
say something. I proceeded
to speak to the Assistant
Director on the propriety of
shooting this last sequence.
The assistant Director was
quite puzzled by the reaction
from the actors. When I expressed to him that such
stereotypical images were
not beneficial in general nor
did they serve to enlighten,
especially in such a pervasive
medium as television, I recei­
ved a sympathetic response.
And he did convey, my posi­
tion to the Director.
We were then given a brief
break before the final shoot.
I took this opportunity to
gauge the reaction of several
of the actors. Many who I
spoke to were quite ambiva-'
lent, some complacent, and
a very few angry. But one
veteran actor summed it all
up in one poignant sentence,
“If you don't do it, they' II get
someone else to do it.”
Five minutes later, we all
participated in the final shot
by doing that old Oriental
bow for the camera.

they were in the middle class.

(What would the result be
of a similar poll among Japa­
nese Americans?)
• Another Japanese poll show­
ed that fewer companies are
granting automatic pay rais­
es. Annual pay increases are
becoming smaller for work­
ers reaching their late 40s,
and more firms are adopting a
wage system based on position or ability.
• Oddly enough, the Japan­

marriage; 50% of women said
they would accept this con­
ditionally, and 33% said un­
conditionally.
• The five leading leisure ac­
tivities among Japanese, con­
sidered by many to be workaholics, were found to be:
dining out, taking domestic
sight-seeing trips, driving
(presumably what we used to
call joy-riding), playing
games, and drinking at bars
and pubs. A casual visit to
Tokyo, raises the suspicion
that if male polees had been
honest, drinking as a pastime
would have climbed a notch
or two.
When pollsters asked what
leisure activities they were
engaged in most often, listen­
ing to music (tapes, records,
FM radio) led with 72.1 times
a year. Gymnastics (60.4) and
playing Western musical in­
struments (54) followed. Jog­
ging and Japanese dancing
were well down the list.
The most expensive leisure
activities were overseas
travel, sky diving and flying
hang gliders, golf, yachting
and skin diving, and skiing.
• Foreign beer accounts for
only 0.4% of Japan's beer
consumption, but imports
have arisen by about 30% a
year for the past five years.
Japanese brewers rather than
trading companies are active,
in the import business. Kirin
Beer, with 61 % of the domes­
tic market, is tied up with
Heineken. Sapporo, with 20%
of the market, is associated
with Miller's. Asahi, with
10%, has links with Loewenbrau. Suntory Beer, with 8%
of the market, imports Bud­
weiser and, says Jetro's Fo­
cus, Japanese magazine, the
competition is fierce.
• Hajime Karatsu, managing
director of Matsushita Com­
munications Industrial Co.,
has an interesting approach
to the U.S.-Japan trade im­
balance issue. He writes:
“According to 1982 figures,
Japan's exports to the U.S.
totaled $36.3 ^billion, while
U.S. exports to Japan amoun­
ted to $24.1 billion. This
translates to a yearly per
capita Japanese purchase of
$204 worth of U.S. goods,
while each American bought
only $156 worth of our pro­
ducts. To correct this imbal­
ance, Americans should pur­
chase more from Japan. It is
foolishly illogical to insist
that both nations import the
same amounts when the U.S.
has twice our population.”
Can anyone find a flaw in
this logic?
