Celluloid
rite of
Spring
By ELLEN ENDO DIZON
LOS ANGELES. — Along
with 70 million other Ameri­
cans, I watched the 57th
annual Academy Awards pre­
sentation recently. My antici­
pation rose and fell with the
same regularity as the musi­
cal tah-dahs which accompa­
nied each announcement of
the nominee or winner. It was
event held in the best tradi­
tions of Hollywood — osten­
tatious, self-serving, deca­
dent — and I adored every
minute.
These particular Oscars
ceremonies were significant
in that they marked the first
time two persons of Asian an­
cestry competed against one
another in the same category.
Miyoshi Umeki and Mako
come to mind as previous
“supporting” actor/actress
nominees but did not vie
against each other in the
same year. .
I secretly wished for Nori­
yuki “Pat” Morita to take
home the prized statuette not
only for his role in “The Ka­
rate Kid” but also as the cli­
max to a full, arduously fol­
lowed career. But early in the
evening, a pattern became
clear. The grandiose, high­
brow motion pictures were
beginning to sweep the
awards. Things didn't look
good for Pat.
Still, I vicariously shared a
sense of pride on hearing Dr.
Hairig S. Ngor had been de­
clared winner of the “best
supporting actor” designa­
tion. Ironically, the award was
presented to Ngor by Linda
Hunt, a Caucasian woman
named last year's “best sup­
porting actress” for her por­
trayal of an Indonesian.
Now that Ngor has relocat­
ed to Los Angeles (he works
for a job placement center in
Chinatown) and plans to pur­
sue his acting career, he may
be in for a rathe rude awaken­
ing. Despite the fact that he
has received the motion pic­
ture industry's highest com­
pliment, roles as rich and
emotion-filied as the one he
portrayed in “The Killing
Fields” are rare.
Former nominee Umeki
went on to play a housekeep­
er in the television series,
“Courtship of Eddie's
Father.” And Mako, profile
and distinguished co-star of
“The Sand Pebbles,” can

Six from JCCC win volunteer awards
TORONTO — At a recent gala Awards Presentation at the
Sheraton Centre, Susan Fish, Ontario Minister of Citizenship
and Culture, presented Volunteer Service Awards to approxi­
mately 750 Toronto area community volunteers. Receiving the
highest honours, of 15 or more years of service, were six of
the JC Cultural Centre's volunteers. Pictured above are (L-R):

Freud was cocaine user
& Her, says Sansei in Van.
VANCOUVER — Is cocaine
addictive?
Some experts and users
admit repeated use can lead
to a psychological dependen­
cy, but they say that does not
result in the extreme with­
drawal symptoms familiar to
a heroin user.
Others disagree.
U.S. drug expert Daryl In­
aba said he has no doubts
that cocaine is habit forming.
Inaba, director of the Drug
Detox Project at the HaightAshbury Free Medical Clinic
in San Francisco, said a per­
son is an addict when he or
,she begins to seek out the
drug or continues to use it
despite any negative effects
it may have on them, their
family or friends.

Tests carried out on mon­
keys have shown that if allow­
ed unlimited quantities of
cocaine, the animals would
continue consuming the drug
until it killed them, he said.

Inaba said recently in Van­
couver that the view that
cocaine is non-toxic and nonaddictive is due to the writ­
ings of Sigmund Freud, him­
self a coccaine user.
“But he knew that was not
true and we know it is not
true,” said Inaba.

Of all the drug abuse, he
told members of the B.C.
Pharmacists' Society, only
cocaine and amphetamines
have increased in use over
the past 10 years.
Inaba, who wrote a news­
paper column in the ’60s and
’70s under the pen-name Dr.
Dope, said his clinic is now
treating a wide variety of pa­
tients for cocaine addiction.

Daryll Inaba

“We are now getting busi­
nessmen, policemen, school
kids, grandparents . . .”
In addition to paranoia and
depression, Inaba said the
drug can have physical ef­
fects. When examining some
chronic users, he said, doc­
tors can often shine a flash­
light up one nostril and see
the light in the second nostril
“because there is no tissue
there.”

EDMONTON, Alta. — The

It is perhaps impossible to feel the
pain and sorrows of a people who
became nonentities in their own land
by a stroke of the pen. Joy Kogawa
captures the profound grief and
shame in these immortal lines:.
It is around this time that mother
disappears/1 hardly dare think, let
alone ask, why she has to leave. Ques­
tions are meaningless. What matters
to my five-year-old mind is not the rea­
son that she is required to leave, but
the stillness of waiting for her to re­
turn. After, a while, the stillness is so
much with me that it takes the form of
a shadow which grows and surrounds
me like air. Time solidifies, ossifies
the waiting into molecules of stone,
dark microscopic planets that swirl
through the universe of my body wait­
ing for lighf and morning. . .
Yes, I mind eveything. Even the flies.
The flies and flies and flies form the
cows in the barn and the manure pile
— all the black flies that curtain the
windows* and Obasan with a wad of
toilet paper, spish, then with her bare
hands as well, grabbing them and
their shocking white eggs and the
mosquitoes mixed there with the
other insect corpses around the base
of the gas lamp. .
It's the chicken coop “house” we
live in that in mind. The uninsulated
unbelievable thin-as-a-cotton-dress
hovel never before inhabited in win­
ter by human beings. In summer it's
a heat trap, an incubator, a dry sauna
from which there is no relief. In win­
ter the icicles drip down the inside of
the windows and the ice is thicker
than bricks at the ledge. The only
place that is warm is by the coal
stove where we rotate like chickens
on a spit and the feet are so cold they
stop registering. We eat cloves of
roasted garlic on winter nights to
warm up. . .
Or it's standing in the beet field
under the maddening sun, standing
with my black head a sun-trap even
though it's covered, and lying down
in the ditch, faint and the nausea in
waves and the cold sweat, and get­
ting up and tackling the next row.
The whole field is an oven and there's
not a tree within the walking dis­
tance. We are tiny as insects craw­
ling along the grill and there is no
protection anywhere. The eyes are
lidded against the dust and the air
cracks the skin, the lips crack, Ste­
phen's flutes crack and there is no
energy to sing anymore anyway. . .
The rationale for the repressive
measures against the Japanese
Canadians was ostensibly “to safe­
guard the defences of the Pacific
Coast of Canada,” in the wake of the
Japanese invasion of Pearl Harbour
on December 7, 1941. This was the
reason given by none other than
Prime Minister Mackenzie King in
the House of Commons on January
25, 1942. The other reason given was
that the measures were necessary to
protect the Japanese Canadians
against the animosity of the people
of British Columbia because of the
war initiatives of Japan. To these at­
tempts at justification, the'Japanese
Canadians cogently argue that the
claims were patently false. The facts
exploding the twin myth of security
risk and protective custody are well
documented from primary sources
including the Canadian Hansard of
1942 and 1944, and the Manuscript
Collection of the Public Archives of
Canada. According to government
documents, the treatment of Japan­
ese Canadians during and after the
Second World War was clearly incited
by a small hard-core racists in Bri­
tish Columbia who successfully
motivated the political opportunities
of the government in power. These
facts are beyond dispute:
1) The Royal Canadian Mounted
Police and Canada's senior military
officers opposed the removal of Ja­
panese Canadians from the Pacific
Coast as unnecessary and unwar­
ranted, and, in the case of the mili­
tary, left the unprooting to the civili­
ans;
