Need to Rid Selves of Complex

ping drawl of the South was just
as fascinating to me as the short
END well-clipped accent of New
York and Canada. Beyond this
and the difference in the styles of
dancing the kids we're alike in that
they had the same problems ana
we're eager to accomplish the same
things.
The first subject to be tackled
was that of boy-girl relationship.
This turned out to be one of the
most interesting subjects but one
which had the least satisfying an
swers. And in my opinion, a prob
lem which will continue as long as
there Is a boy or a girl. However,
this much we agreed upon. Too
often young people look for ro-
mantle interest In the opposite sex
rather than friendship. 1t always
appeared to me that Nisei teen
ayers were inclined to be too quick
in tagging couple as going stea-
dy" after they had had a few dates
together. I learned soon enough
that others had the same problem.
One thing that we Nisei must
do is to get rid of our inferiority
complex. I have learned that
other teenagers do not think us
inferior so why should we? AS
Nisei 1t Is up to us to be well-in-
formed about our own problems as
well as those of the rest of the
world. If we want to understand
the problems of other race groups
we must know our own first.
I have seen kids having fun but
I have never seen them so deadly
serious as the ones with whom ]
worked at the conference. They
talked on religion, the atomic bomt
and other world problems. I Ger.
=, tainly believe informal discussion.

the teenagers in preparing them
selves for future duties in theil
community.
The life at Grinnel was an idea
one where someone's friend wa
everybody's friend, where people
were genuinely interested in eacf
other and what was going on ii
| the world.
Perhaps the ideas of youth arr
too idealistic as many adults sa.
but neither are they anything t.
be laughed at.
Two resolutions were passed a
the conference which I sincerel
hope will have some effect soone
or later. One was a bid for worl,
peace by making the UN stronge
and the other to encourage Sc
education in schools and communi
ty agencies.

for his staunch stand for justice
and tolerance concerning the Nisei
who returned to Hood River valley
early in 1945. Ever since JACL
members and friends made possible
the trip to New York, he has been
a strong advocator for JACL move
ments. He was with the Asbuly-
Methodist church since July. 1912.
This farewell gesture was he'd
in Avon Sutton's home in Park
dale in the form of pot-luck and
weiner roast at the fireside. About

Remaining Problems of Displaced
Americans" will be the topic of his
speech on July 9 when Mike Masa-
Okla, national legislative director of
the JACL discrimination
Committee, appears at the fourth
annual Institute of Race Relations
at Nashville, Tennessee. the WASH
ington ADO office disclosed today.
Scheduled as guest lecturer,
Masaoka will tell of the problems
still facing persons of Japanese
ancestry in this country.
Saburo KIDD, immediate past pre-
sident of JACL, spoke at the In

Called "a laboratory for the adj
vancement of the science of human
relations" the Institute of Race
Relations is attended by educators,
social and religious workers. labor
and civic group leaders, youth
leaders, industrialists, and other
persons from all perts of the coun-

University and will consist of three
weeks of panel round tables, Sc
minars, and consultation hours.

boys whoa you could call good
mixers, or terrifically popular. Ex-
cept for one, you couldn't say much
about their looks Their physique
was nothing remarkable. They
we're average in sports, and only
one had gone beyond high school.
We pointed that all of them were
inclined to flirt when the oppor-
tunity presented itself. But there
was something little special
about their technique. 1t wasn't
the common wise-cracking variety
I think the difference was that
they all had knack of passing
themselves off as a gentleman,
thoughtful and considerate-and
quite possibly they were sincere.
But the most noticeable fact
about them was that all of them
were very interesting to listen to.
Not that they had line or any,
thing like that. They were just
good conversationalists
They had sense of humor, but
that wasn't all They could talk
about the trivial things, yet color
it with their personality and their
personal observations. Their choice
of topic was good--that Is tailored
little to suit the occasion and the
company. And If they Dragged q
little, 1t was so subtle that only Q
psychologist could have caught on
That was as far as we got, ano
we rather doubted If we had foune
out what the magic qualities were

is the poor marriage prospects O
the local crop of girls.
Sometimes boys come out from
places like Fort William on the mis-
sions with which I am quite sym
pathetic. Sometimes we are con
suited on their problems.
You can divide girls into twt
groups. One is the quiet, obedi
ent, stay-at-home types who car
be approached through their par
ents and go-betweens.
The other type Is more roman
tic; she has mind of her owl
when 1t comes to a question o
choosing a husband. She is gener
allq opposed to arranged mar
riages. But In this imperfec
world, Cupid doesn't bother Il
make it easy for the Nisei boys II

I and WOO the Nisei damsels In bi
cities. IT a boy doesn't want t
change his job for the sake O
finding his future bride what othe
road is there for him but through
the time-honored way of go-be
tweens?
And If we could only rid our
selves of our romantic notions
the fact is an average Nisei gir
will find reasonable happiness b
choosing any one reasonable suit
ed from among the available as
sortment of manageable males.

Films Expected

TOKYO, July 8-Newly filmed
Japanese motion pictures will soon
be available for foreign distribu-
ton, according to a report from
MacArthur's headquarters which
has granted permission for a
monthly export of so films as a
counterbalancing credit against
food supplies that Japan has i'm
ported from other nations, espe-
cially the United States.
A meeting of the studio heads
on June 10 has resulted in the Sc
lection of some 26 pictures, 16 from

What's In Name :?

A report from the recent Asian
relations conference stresses the
fact that Asians don't like to be
called Asiatics-a term which seems
to them to involve racial slur.
This is not matter for non-Asians
to make merry over, but to under
stand.
It's hard for a "Yank," who takes
the term with good-natured in
difference, to understand why the
Japanese should always have
looked on the word Jap" as an
insult. The answer lies not in the
word itself. but in the unconscious
attitude of patronage behind it.
The Briton does not feel that he
has lost face hopelessly when the
Yank refers to him as "limey"
or the Aussis calls him a 'pommy"
Consequently he refers cheerfully.
to the "wog" (Wily Oriental Gen.
tlemanD without realizing that the
Joke will not seem so funny to the
Asian, who does not appreciate
the Briton's dig at his own insul-
arity In his saying, The wogs be-
gin at Calais"
There are other uglier terms
etlike "dago,' "kike," "chink,' and
"nigger') which many good people
use thoughtlessly and without in
tent to hurt. AT the very best,
all such terms stress the other
ness of other people. If the
'peopleness' is uppermost in
thought instead, the nicknames we
use. for each other will be bonds
of affection rather than barriers of
prejudice.

Of residents on both streets. The crack

shaking Of homes, with accompanying
expense for repairs and the disturbing Of
sleepers at night, especially invalids,
which have characterized the use Of Third
street, past and present, would be ex-
tended TO Seventh street as we'll, and still
continue on Third.
1t is argued that Third street south 10
Market and below Castle is now a business
street, and that Seventh street is not so
closely built up as Third between Market
and Castle. The assumption is that the
residents on a short stretch of Third and
throughout the length Of Seventh, north
from Dawson, are entitled TO no considera-
zion because a truck lane bYpassing the
city would NOT be under Jurisdiction of the
city government for most Of its length.
The fact is that il makes no difference
who has Jurisdiction over a truck lane as
long as it is maintained and does not
jeopardize the properly or comfort Of the
citY's residents.

proposal, the Council will be expected to

Do not deduct entertainment ex-

To support your deduction you
must be able to show that your
expenditures were made to drum

records should be voluminous.
Don't claim too big a deduction.
Remember that your collector OF

Your collector can refuse to al

can hire a lawyer and appeal to

PHOTO EQUIPMENT NEEDED

In the expanding program Of the Brigade
Boys Club, the Senior Fraternity has set
up a dark room and organized a photo
club. The advantages of this added &C.
tivity are obvious.
Boys like TO take pictures. They like
10 develop films and print photos. But
few of them know how to do these thinqs
correctly.
1t is TO train them in the Photographic
art, which is steadily becoming a more
and more exacting science, that the Fra
ternitY has launched this latest of its
many good works as the big brother or
ganization Of the Brigade.
There is a sad lack of money, though,
10 buy the equipment needed TO put the
project across successfully. So many
things are needed. The Fraternity has
issued an appeal TOR contributions, not Of
money but tools.
Here are the needs: cameras, enlarqers,
developing trays, developing tanks, print
ers, safe lights, paper trimmers, dryers,
terro-tYpe plates, essels and print rollers.
This sounds like about everything re-

If you have any Of the items that you
do not need, the Brigade photo club will

The Book OF

Soon transportation companies
were formed in various countries,
and regular passenger service was
established. Regular air : mail ser,
vice was set on a firm basis.
The years 1927 and 1923 saw ar
amazing series of brilliant flights
Competing for a S25, 900 prize, an
obscure air = mail pilot named
Charles A. Lindbergh flew
a specially built monoplane from
San Diego to New York, then
calmly set out alone on a flight
to Paris. Prominent pilots, in.
GLIDING Richard E. Byrd and Cla-
renee D. Chamberlin, had entered
the same contest, and so neither
the public nor the newspapers paid
much attention to the tall stranger
from the Middle West.
The better known flyers were
still tuning up their engines when
Lindbergh lifted his heavily loaded
cabin plane from the Roosevelt!
Field runway on May 20, 1927. Fly,
ing through fog and sleet most of
the way, he and his silvery Spirit
of st. Louis moved eastward to land
at LIE Bourget Field, near Paris,
on the evening of May q. He had
covered $500 miles in 80 IL hours
On June 4, Chamberlin and a
passenger, Charles A. Levine, took
off in the monoplane Columbia.
They landed AZ hours, 81 minutes
later at Eisleben, Germany, fal-
ling ITO miles short of their goal,
which was Berlin; but they had
Travelled 3,911 miles without a
single stop.
On June 29, Commander Byrd
and three companions left New
York in the America. Battling bad
weather until their fuel was ex
hausted, they landed in the surf
off Ver-sur-Mer. France, approx
mately 46 hours after take-off.
All of these flights had been
aided by the fact that prevailing
winds blow from west to east
across the North Atlantic. Pilots
who attempted to fly against the
wind from Europe to North Ameri-
ca were unsuccessful.
Then, in April, 1928, Captain
Hermann Koehl of Germany and
Major James Fitzmaurice of Ire
land took off from the Emerald
Isle with a passenger, Baron Won
Huenefeld. Flying into the teeth OF
the wind, their Junkers monoplane
Bremen was blown far off its
course and finally landed on Gre
emily Isle, of the coast of Lab
rador.
Meanwhile, the Pacific Ocean
was also seeing mans conquest of
the air. In 1928, h e noted Aus
tralian pilot, Sir Charles Kings
ford Smith, and four companions
flew from California to Australia.
There we're many notable flights
in tn years that followed. The
one-eyed flyer, Wiley Post, made
two remarkable flights around the
world Gn 1881 and 1889. The bril-
liant young ~aviatrix. Amelia Ear

RAIN AT WILL

Farmers in the state had their plea for
precipitation granted yesterday when
either rain or snow blanketed most auri-
cultural areas. The simple appeal this
time turned the trick. 1t might not be
so effective at another time.
In that event it would be we'll to take
a lesson in rain making from the Aus
iralians. Recently a wide area of Aus
tralia was suffering from drought. Pleas
TO the weather department had no effect

ic turn, decided to take matters in charge
