Mr.. Editor states quite
frankly that he prefers that
government step in on the
side of management. I do not
criticize him for having his
opinion and I greatly respect
him for his frankness and
honesty in expressing it.
However, in his editorial,
he chose to ignore the major
premise of my last column
and the big IF I expressed.

Time For Plain Talk
BY TOM BURKE

Editors note: Mr. Burke in this column
Is referring to the editor of The Toledo TimesO
In his editorial of last Saturday, Mr.. Editor
gets closer to the real issue at hand than he
has ever done. He recognizes that the basic
question is: "Shall government step in to
dispute in which there is national emergency
on the side of either the disputant or on the
side of the public?"

Otosh Describes Experiences at Evergreen Boys State

night, our city of Hemlock met and
we elected a temporary city clerk
and a fire chief. Every boy was re-
quired to serve on firewatch 2
hours at least one night to see that
no fire broke out and that everyone
was in bed. The trouble was that in
order to catch up on some of my
sleep. slept through some of the
wonderful lectures on government
but I only regretted doing so.
The elections played a prominent
part at Boys State. We all signed
up with our own city clerk and be-
came registered voters. The first
election was for city offices and for
justice of the peace We who ran
for office filed in a declaration of
candidature with the acting Secre-
tary of State and ran on a nom
party basis. We introduced ourselves
to the city members, about go, and
told of our qualifications Then the
election was held in a secret ballot.
At the same time. elections were
held for seats in the House and the
Senate of the State legislature I
decided it would be wise to run for
an office in the city and in the
state and won a seat in the House,
We were forced to vote according
to short friendship and not qualifi-
cations as we hardly knew each
other.
The next election was on the
party basis and two cities were
joined to form a county. The City
of Hemlock joined with Cedar to
form the Cascade County, while

bility and prosperity.

ED. note: Tom OtOshi, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jitsuo Ot0shi,
92O 7th Ave-, attended the Ever
green Boys State from June 16
to rs at ElIensburg, WASH, under
sponsorship of the Seattle Nisei
Veterans Committee. In the fol-
lowing article, he describes his
experiences during the week. He
was elected state treasurer of
Boys State.)
What is Boys State? 1t is living
reality of the dreams of our fore
fathers who wanted us to live with
boys of all kinds and learn to be-
come good American citizens. It is
an organization founded by the
American Legion to answer these
dreams by teaching young American
boys how the democratic govern
ment functions by letting them run
their own government. 1t can be felt
in the hearts of every Boys Slater
who attended it. In my own words,
it is a home where we can learn
to do things together and have fun
together.
Anyones first impression of Boys
State will be something like a boys
camp or some similar organization.
That is what I will be expected to
tell about by the readers of this
article It seems as if we are always
looking for some kind of social fun
and not after our own government.
I thought it fit to tell how became
interested in our government by
telling about some of my experiences
at Boys State and not of the fun

Of B. c. Japanese

VANCOUVER, b. c., July 2

A part OF the poem was produced
in Vancouver and was presented
over the air at the time of the lift
ing of the wartime restrictions earl
Ter in the spring However this
dramatization was heard only in
British Columbia. According to re-
ports from the CBC, it created a
favorable impression
According to the writer, much of
the poem is based on stories and
letters which appeared in The New
Canadian. She says that without
a thorough study of The New Can

possible Tor her to record the his
tory of the evacuation in dramatic
form.

much of her education in Toronto

I got out of it.
On the day of June 10th, 254 boys
from all parts of the state checked
into the gymnasium of the Central
Washington College OF Education at
Ellensburg. I was just one of the
many boys who were confused, not
knowing what was what or who was
who 1t dawned upon me that these
boys we're great leaders in some field
or another and noted that a great
majority wore lettermen sweaters.
Soon, we all began to talk to each
other and then I knew what swell
guys they really were and that you
couldn't find them all in the same
place except at Boys State
myself had been travelling with
my Garfield buddies and we stuck
together until we were separated
when we were assigned cities and
room numbers.
These cities Cedar, Spruce.
Fir, and Hemlock - were college
dorms with cafeteria near by. We
were also assigned to either the Blue
or the Cold party which meant no.
thing to us at that time. I was
assigned to the city of Hemlock and
to the Blue party and therefore I
! cannot tell what went on in the
other cities or the other party.
Being the only Nisei, I naturally
aroused curiosity. The boys were
as friendly as could be- We all had
to follow a strict schedule and had
to wake up at am and be in bed
by 10 pm BY the looks of the boys
we all had bunk fatigue The first

Just Among
People
BY GORDON HIRABAYASHI
THE NEW JAIL

Just north of the County, City
Building there is a great building
project going on. The City of Seattle
is finally getting its new Public
SAFETY Building thirty years
overdue. Back in 1919, the present
triangle Police Headquarters on
Fifth and Yesler was condemned
as unfit and unsafe for public use.
Included in the new building will
be a very modern city jail Much
research and investigation went on
to incorporate the best ideas in the
country in the construction of the
jail quarters. Even I was consulted
for suggestions from the inmates
angle.
When the building is completed
a year and half or so from now,
shall be mighty curious to know how
the Jail win operate. Obviously. with
new physical facilities and other
modern physical innovations, there
will be a certain aura of new look
But that is not my chief concern.
although the physical Improvements
will make a very important differ
ence.
shall be interested to know how
fundamentally the change will be
in the philosophy of prison admin
stration. Will there be any changes
in the attitudes of the guards to-
ward inmates? Will there be any
changes in the requirements OF
Jail custodian so that we can have
higher standard Of personnel oil
the staff? Will the city be paying
sufficiently to attract men of quality
and capacity?
In the past jails were merely to
keep men in custody for a certain
period of time, and then released
again to society. Sometimes, there
was strong sense of revenge on
the part of society and therefore,
an attitude toward punishment of
the inmate.
Now, in terms of security and
safety for society, it is being real-
zed that the inmates must be re-
habilitated and readjusted toward
civilian life or they will continue
to be menaces to society df they
were in the first place. And to a
faint degree, society is beginning
to realize that oftentimes the in
mate is really the victim of the
process of social disorganization -
a product of a disorganized, con-
nivlng society. This realization calls
for not only corrective attention
on the inmates. but some serious
corrective attention on society too.
and how it can operate with a lower
amount of vice and other indica-
items of social disorganization. Crime
and social disorganization are high
ly correlated.
