Second “Evacuation”
for Hamilton Nisei
losing decision

prevail
By VIC OGURA
(In reply to an invitation
from Art Miki, the president
of the NAJC, Montreal gave
the following report at the re­
cent council meeting in To­
ronto)
“To remain neutral without
being neutralized”. This has
been Montreal's position
from the beginning.
At the first meeting Mon­
treal attended in Toronto
Labor Day weekend 1983,
Montreal said, “let us have
healthy dialogue and even
confrontation, but let us al­
ways heal with compromise.
We have so much in common
in our background that with
the laying aside of personal
ego and factional interests, it
should be reasonably easy to
cement our agreements and
demonstrate a common
front.”
That initial meeting in To­
ronto ended in chaos. Call it
Quebecois “joi de vie” (joy of
living) or simply Japanese
“Gambare” . . . undaunted,

tively participated in the re­

got President Gordon Kadota
and the chairman of the Na­
tional Redress Committee to
meet at the Prince Hotel in
Toronto. Waiting in the lobby
we had the publisher-editors
of both The New Canadian
and the Canada Times. When
the meeting ended, a press
release was headlined in both
the papers under the heading
“official statement from the
NAJC”. It read “Working To­
gether For Only Together Will
It Work.”
On Jan. 22-24, 1984 in Win­
nipeg there was held a na­
tional conference. Both The
New Canadian and the Cana­
dian Times headlined Montre­
al' s report of that conference
as follows: “Winnipeg Con­

Montreal was really getting
revved up. During the follow­
ing few months we went on
radio and television both in
English and French. Likewise
the press gave us full sup­
port, with the Montreal Gaz­
ette giving us a front page

Then the roof caved in! The
National Council, which is
the highest authority of the
NAJC, instructed the presi­
dent to send a historical
momentous document to
Prime Minister Trudeau. Fol­
lowing a mandate establish­
ed at the Winnipeg conference
and reconfirmed by council
members across Canada, the
JC community was finally ini­
tiating its first demand from
the Government of Canada!
An Acknowledgement Of An
Injustice. And what timing we
had. We were coordinating our
first salvo with a parliamentary
report entitled, “Equality
Now”, which was recom­
mending everything we wanted!

Brief walked out of a confer­
ence, and went public with a
statement that if he had a
choice, he would demand
four billion dollars from the
government.

Throughout all of this,
Montreal's position stood
clear. Along with all the other
centres we voted “Yes” to
the three part redress posi­
tion. Along with Vancouver
and Toronto, (constituting
over 81 percent of the JC
community) Montreal strong­
ly voted against the 500 mil­
lion dollar demand.

Sansei student, 22, designs
super-insulater Artic tent
WATERLOO, Ont. — Should
John Hayashida ever get
stranded in a blizzard, he ex­
pects to live through it in
comfort.
His secret for survival is a
super-insulated tent called
PETE, an acronym for Portable
Emergency Thermal Environ­
ment.
Hayashida and classmate
Roger Bowman, third-year
civil engineering students at
the University of Waterloo,
designed and built PETE as a
workshop project last year.
Their prototype one-person
shelter — a bright orange,
funnel-shaped nylon tent —
can be set up quickly and
easily even by an injured per­
son with the use of only one
hand.
Uses body heat
The key to what the part­
ners hope will be the tent's
success is that once a person
crawls inside, body heat is all
that is necessary to stay
warm, even in temperatures
as low as -40 degrees.
“As far as we' re aware, no
one has built an Arctic shel­
ter with the capability of
ours,” Hayashida said. “Most
require a tent heater.”
Minus 40, by the way, is the
same sub-freezing point on
both Fahrenheit and Celsius
scales. It is also the coldest
temperature, on average, ever
hit in 90 per cent of Canada,
and in 99 per cent of the tra­
velled portions of the coun­
try, Hayashida notes.
The notion of using body
warmth to heat an emergency
structure caught the atten­
tion of the federal govern­
ment, which has given Haya­
shida and Bowman a $14,000
grant (through the university)
to come up with a more so­
phisticated design.
The first model has under­
gone extensive testing in
special refrigeration labora­
tories, and their second-gen­
eration PETE is in the hands
of scientists at the Defence
and Civil Institute of Environ­
mental Medicine, the federal
agency that sponsored much
of the project.
Agency staff have told the
two students their new model
looks “very promising.” Mili­
tary and civilian uses have
been cited for’the tent, but its
most likelv aoolication would
be as part of a survival kit for
bush pilots, cargo plane
crews, or trappers in the re­
mote North.
Constructed of urethanecoated nylon and a variety of
other nylon fabrics, the
tent's inner lining acts as a
thermal blanket while its ex­
terior shell is designed to
withstand the ravages of
sleet and driving snow. The
two nylon shells are separated
by a layer of air, which pro­
vides further insulation.
The inner shell is equipped

Terry Nakagawa was born and
brought up in a little village close to
Port Rupert, British Columbia, and
she remembers being among the
first Japanese-Canadians to be mov­
ed south to Vancouver.
“When the war started, we were
among the first to be evicted,
because they started from the
north,” Mrs. Yahiro (nee Nakagawa)
of Georgetown's Chelvin Drive
recalled.
Her father Sasuke Nakagawa, was
a fisherman with his own boat. How­
ever the boat was taken away from
him in 1942, and Mrs. Yohiro, now 58,
doesn't remember if her father was
reimbursed for the loss of his boat.
A young teenager at the time,
Terry and her brother and two sisters
were put on the train to Vancouver.
Her father, mother and baby sister
made the trip by boat because Mrs.
Sute Nakagawa was in ill-health. It
was February.
The train seats slid into beds,
Terry remembers, and best of all, she
remembers being served toast and
boiled eggs in the morning.
From tiny port Essington, the Na­
kagawa family moved into the horse
stalls at Vancouver's Hastings Park.
They were among the first Japanese
families moved into the race track
built for horse racing.
“My father was a veteran from the
First World War, and, I think it was
because of that, he didn't have to
go to road camp like the other Japan­
ese men,” Mrs. Yahiro said.
At Hastings Park, the men and wo­
men were segregated in the build­
ings. The floor was concrete and
there were lots of noise.
“I remember sleeping on the top
bunk, from where I could see every­
body from above the stalls and wave
to people,” Mrs. Yahiro smiled. “We
put curtains across the stalls to have
privacy.”
The ailing Mrs. Nakagawa didn't
have to line up for meals in the mess
hall like the rest of her family. In­
stead, she ate her meals inside the
same building, at a special dining
hall for invalids.
Eventually the family was able to

arrange for Mrs. Nakagawa to stay
with relatives who lived in Vancou­
ver, so she could be a little more
comfortable, at least until the family
moved from Hastings Park to the B.C.
interior August end.
“We moved to a place called Sandon. It used to be a mining town at
one time, and was a ghost town,”
Mrs. Yahiro said. “My mother died
there in November. She was 44.”

An aunt was with them and the Na­
kagawa family relied on her after the
death of Mrs. Nakagawa.
Mrs. Yahiro remembers a long kit­
chen table and benches being shared
with several other families at Sandon. Again there were bunkbeds, and
Mrs. Yahiro would clamber up every
night to sleep.

“There was a building there that
was used as a church, and a make­
shift hospital,” she said. Mrs. Yahiro
joined the other children at the clas­
ses begun by the Sisters of Sacred
Heart, nuns in white gowns.
The family was moved to Bayfarm
and Mrs. Yahiro continued her stu­
dies under the Sisters of Assumption
nuns, eventually earning her high
school diploma.
It was there that the repatriation
question was circulated amongst the
Japanese-Canadians; they were
given the choice of either returning
to Japan or going east of the
Rockies.
“It must have been terrible, the
family decisions that had to be made.
In my family, we didn't have that
conflict, right from the start we knew
we weren't going back,” Mrs. Yahiro
said. “To us, this was our country.”
The family chose to go to Montreal
and from there to Toronto. Today
Mrs. Yahiro is a mother of three and
lives on Georgetown's Chelvin Drive.
Mrs. Yahiro doesn't hold any re­
sentment about what happened to
the Japanese-Canadian during World
War Two. As a child during those
years, she was spared the difficult
decisions and the worries of her
parents, she said.

“The generation seemed to accept
things. They had a ‘can't be helped’
sort of attitude,” Mrs. Yahiro tried to
explain of her parents' generation.
She said she had no unpleasant
memories of the experience, and
said those who would have the un­
pleasant memories would more likely
be the older ones, the ones that had
to feed their family and worry about
their future.
The Japanese-Canadians seeking
compensation have a point, Mrs.
Yahiro acknowledged.
“But our attitude is, let bygones be
bygones,” she said, pointing out that
although the Japanese were forced
to start from scratch, they've done
very well for themselves.

Reg. Kimura 690 6969

---- -- —----- - .-;------------------ ----- —

of the Vancouver Board of
Trade World Trade Centre at
CANADA PLACE says the
centre must become “a peo­
ple place” — a forum for the
exchange of ideas and infor­
mation between Canada and
the rest of the world.

And Arthur Hara also
hopes that the centre, which
has 55,000 members in 47
countries, will smooth the
way for smaller businesses in
making key contacts with
their foreign counterparts.
“You can't do this just by
telephone or Telex, expecially in Asia where face-to-face
contact is so important. And
it isn't done in a day alone;
it's a constant build-up of
trust. The World Trade Centre
can be a facilitator.”

The Vancouver-born Hara
is chairman of Mitsubushi
Canada, a subsidiary of
Japan's World Trade Centre
and the Vancouver Board of
Trade, which will have 8,500

Canada Place in January. The
board has signed a 20-year
lease with Tokyu Canada Cor­
poration, builders and opera­
tors of a privately developed
$140 million hotel and office
complex that's part of the
overall waterfront project
created by Canada Harbour
Place Corporation, a federal
Crown corporation.

Arthur Hara calls Canada
Place “a very exciting struc­
ture — it will be a symbol as
our gateway to the world.”
Another tenant within the
World Trade Centre Office
Complex will be the Asia
Pacific Foundation of Canada,
which recently signed a lease
for 4,600 square feet. The
foundation — supported by
the Canadian Government
and The Yukon, B.C., Alberta,
Saskatchewan, Ontario and
Quebec, an the private sector
— will enhance the relation­
ship between Canada, Asia
and the Pacific.
