This is not the kind of col­
umn I prefer to write, parti­
cularly at this time of year. But
it needs to be said.
Shortly before Christmas I
went out to Denver's airport
to meet a mid­
dle-aged cou­
ple flying in
from Japan. I
had never met
them
before.
They had never
been in the

United States. In fact, they
were making their first jour­
ney outside Japan.
Everything about the trip
was new to them, and more
than a little frightening be­
cause never before had they
been surrounded by so many
strange-looking people amid
unfamiliar surroundings
speaking an incomprehensi­
ble language. But they felt lit­
tle emotion. They were totally
numbed by the sadness of the
mission that brought them to
this country.

A few days earlier the tele­
phone had rung in their home,
and one of them had picked it
up, perhaps happily anticipa­
ting a call from their son en­
rolled at an American college.
The call turned out to be not
from him but about him. And it
was chilling news. He had
been in an automobile acci­
dent. He had died almost in­
stantly, without lengthy suf­
fering. That was the only con­
solation the parents had as
they spanned the Pacific and
flew nearly half way across
the North American continent
to claim the body.
Twice previously this past
year Japanese parents have
flown to Denver on similar
missions. In one case the stu­
dent had been on a mountain
outing when the Jeep in
which he was a passenger
went over the cliff. In the
other, the girl was lucky. She
came out of a crash with
critical injuries which, even­
tually, would heal.
Reports of Japanese stu­
dents who die in auto colli­
sions are too numerous these
days. They are involved in
freeway smash-ups and city
street-corner crashes in Cali­
fornia, Colorado, Kansas and
elsewhere. I do riot know the
statistics, but even in relation

There is no pattern to these
episodes. Some of the drivers
are believed to have been
speeding, but not all. In many
instances they are the in­

motorists or drivers under the

likely that many of the
students have learned to drive
defensively against crazies on
our roads.
Such training is essential
because many lack the skills

deportation and expulsion

“In retrospect, government
policies of disenfranchise­
ment, detention, confiscation
and sale of private and com­
munity property, expulsion,
deportation and restriction of
movement, which continued
after the war, were influenced
by discriminatory attitudes.
“Japanese Canadians who
were interned had their pro­
perty liquidated and the pro­
ceeds of sale were used to
pay for their own internment.
“The acknowledgment of
these injustices serves
notice to all Canadians that
the excesses of the past are
condemned and that the prin­
ciples of liberty and equality
in Canada are reaffirmed.
“Therefore, the Govern­
ment of Canada, on behalf of
all Canadians, does hereby:
“1) Acknowledge that the
treatment of Japanese Cana­
dians during and after World
War II was unjust and violated
principles of human rights as
they are understood today;

most Americans driving is al­
most a reflex action. Perhaps
some of the Japanese stu­
dents are mesmerized by the
treacherous freedom of the
open highway and the per­
sonal freedom they enjoy with
their own set of wheels. Per­
haps some were distracted by
the need to look for road signs
as they traverse unfamiliar
terrain.
I have no ideas for getting
to those Japanese students,
to help them sharpen their
driving skills and to warn
them of the dangers awaiting
on our highways. But some­
thing needs to be done to cut
down the highway toll, and
save their parents the sad,
sad trip to claim their broken

I'm tired of this forsaken
land.”
Some reflected on the dif­
ficulties of camp life. Dorothy
Obata, a junior, wrote: “Home
is one little room. You try to
study by getting in one of the
corners, but hearing the rest
of the family discuss things

night. Time flies like an arrow
and before you know it is ten
o'clock. Gazing outside, you
can see the camp go to sleep
window by window ...”
The limited edition herd­
