Victoria students study Jpnz. for future
VICTORIA. — Some ele­
mentary students at St. Mi­
chael ' s University School are
studying what may become
the computer language of the
future — Japanese.
For 20 minutes each day
after lunch, children in Grades
1, 2 and 3 study Japanese.
And the response, says head­
master John Schaffter, has
been terrific.
“The students just soak it
up at that age.”
The language will likely be
an advantage to the students
because of the lead Japan
has in Computer technology,
he said. “And Japanese is a
language ideally suited to
computers because of its re­
latively simple grammar
structure and the uniformity
in pronunciation.”
The more complicated
structure of the English lan­
guage and the great variety of
accents makes it difficult to
apply to the language of com­
puters, he said.
“Almost certainly, the first
computers able to carry on a
sustained conversation will
be speaking Japanese.” .
The Japanese-study pro­
gram is being financed by
Calgary millionaire Richard
Bonnycastle, who made his
fortune in publishing and oil.
He is concerned about Ca­
nadians falling behind other
countries in the world eco­
nomy, said Mr. Schaffter,
headmaster at St. John's
Ravenscourt School in Winnipeg where Mr. Bonnycastle
was a student decades ago.
“He (Mr. Bonnycastle)
feels we should be training
our students in Japanese and
providing better training in
other languages, math and
computers,” Mr. Schaffter
said.

bution.
Canada will increasingly
depend on trade with Pacific
Rim countries, especially
Japan, he said, adding Cana-

dians are wise to take a tip
from Japanese businessmen
who have taken the trouble to
learn English before negotiat­
ing with Canadians.

Health and Welfare Ministry
announced recently that
1,563 Japanese were centen­
arians, representing a 10-fold
increase over the level for
1963 when the Welfare Law
for the Aged was enacted.
The figure also represent­
ed an increase of 209 persons
over the figure for last year.
The longevity list was pub­
lished prior to the Respect-

for-the-Aged Day to be ob­
served on Sept. 15.
The total number of cen­
tenarians was made up of 347
men and 1,216 women.
Of the total, 732, or slightly
less than 50 percent, turned
100 in or after October last
year.

Izumi, who turned 119 on
June 29, topped the country's
previous longevity record

of Yamanashi Prefecture,
who died at the age of 118

Japanese-Brazilians have deep
roots in Sao Paulo's agriculture
SAO PAULO, Brazil — “If
the Japanese left, Sao Paulo
would starve to death,” is the
saying.
There is no doubt that Bra­
zil's Japanese, the largest
expatriate community in the
world, have taken fertile root
in their adopted country.
Descendants of poor farm
laborers who were brought
over to work on the coffee
estates at the turn of the
century play an important farming role in Brazil's most
populous and economically
powerful state.
The Japanese supply some
70% of the fruit and vege­
tables consumed in this
sprawling metropolis of 13
million people. The first
boatload of Japanese immi­
grants arrived on July 18,
1908, and by 1939 the com­
munity had swollen to 200,000.
Susumi Mihao, secretary­
general of the Center for Japanese Brazilian Studies, said
the majority came with the in­
tention of returning to their
homeland. But 99% stayed,
not having earned enough to
pay their passage back.
Two Shinto-style torii be­
stride the principal entrances
into the district and its

streets are lit by Japanese
lanterns. A karp fish kite, a
traditional symbol of presev­
erance, dances in the wind.
Almost half of Brazil's
750,000 Japanese still earn
their living from the land but
the community has also made
its mark in other sectors. In
1940, immigrants set up the
Banco America do Sul which
is No. 15 in the country.
Two government ministers
are Japanese. The state oil
company, Petrobras, is head­
ed by Shigeaki Ueki, a Nisei.
In the arts, the Japanese can
point to international prize­
winning filmmaker Chizuki
Yamazaki and painter Manabu Mabe.
The youth drive to integrate
is clear.in that although the
Japanese form 2.5% of Sao
Paulo's population, 13% of
them at state university are of
Japanese ancestry. Many of
the Sansei no longer speak
Nihongo, and are losing the
traditions and customs their
grandfathers brought from
Japan.
Mihao says Liberdade has
several Buddhist temples but
it's the older ones who at­
tend. “Within a generation or
two there will be no more
Japanese in Brazil . . . only
Brazilians.”
