Community
referendum
for Senior's
care at
JCCC?

By MARY ASAZUMA
I am writing to underline,
emphatically, Ron Kimura's
“Letter To The Editor.” I have
been an interested partici­
pant in the Momiji Health
Care Society since its incep­
tion, a good 7 years ago. I was
concerned about my Issei
mother, in her late 80's at the
time. I had hoped that I could
have made her declining years
a little more comfortable, in­
teresting — but that was not
to be. She passed away some
5 years ago in her 94th year,
under our dutiful, yet min­
imal, care due to our own
work load.
- She was not one of the
lucky ones and I am wonder­
ing how many more Issei will
be as unfortunate as my
mother was? How many more
Issei will end their lives in a
foreign environment?
Through much setbacks,
headaches and great effort,
the M.H.C.S. finally managed
to establish a floor each for
the Issei Seniors at the Wychwood Castleview Towers and
Greenview Lodge, within the
last 2, 3 years. It has been the
initial and on going objective
of the Society to establish a
Geriatric Care Centre for Ja­
panese Canadian Issei, Nisei
and on coming generations.
At this time in the Cana­
dian Japanese historical ex­
istence, the greatest FELT
NEED is care for the elderly
— and that does not preclude
the care of elderly Nisei —
nor does it preclude the care
of elderly Shin Ijushas. We
are all of the same racial
background, regardless of
language usage, we all enjoy
the same type of cuisine, si­
milar interests.
Yes, the Cultural Centre
took 2 years to respond to the
Society's request to utilize
the unused portion of the
Centre property. That hesita­
tion was a great drawback for
the Society's financial ar­
rangement, which looked pro­
mising at the time, due to bet­
ter economic conditions. The
longer the delayed reply, the
Society's hopeful realization
became diminished for a suc­
cessful venture.
As has been stated in R.
Kimura's letter to the editor,
there seems to be a sad lack

Mr. Tokyo Rose” still pursued by unhappy past
By Jill Hendrickson
TOKYO — Felipe D'Aquino is a man pursued by an unhappy past.
Known to most of his acquaintances; here as a soft-spoken, greying
newspaperman who quiety collects coins as a hobby, the world refuses
to forget him as the husband of the legendary Tokyo Rose.
Nearly four decades have passed since D'Aquino's American-born
wife, Iva Toguri D'Aquino, was tried for making World War II broadcasts
from Japan that allegedly undermined the morale of U.S. troops.
Despite numerous irregularities and evidence of perjury at the trial,
she was found guilty in what has since been called “one of the grossest

and most disgraceful miscarriages of justice in the history of U.S. federal
courts.”
She spent six and a half years in prison and finally received a full
presidential pardon in 1977.
But the damage to her life, and the lives of those close to her, was
already done.
“It's been a big burden,” D'Aquino said. “A lot of people would say it
must seem like a bad dream now, but it's not a dream at all. It just keeps
on going.”

Chapter of NAJC. This action
was taken following the Tor­
onto JCCA Redress Commit­
tee's November 21st resolu­
tion stating that it no longer
supported the NAJC on mat­
ters of redress. At the Feb­
ruary 2-3 1985 council meet­
ing in Calgary, the group was
officially recognized the North
York chapter of NAJC repre­
senting about 500 Japanese
Canadians. At that time, it
was pointed out that the ex­
ecutive committe members
should be residents of North
York. Therefore, the Toronto
JCCA strongly objects to the
use of the name, “Toronto
Chapter” of NAJC.
