In our tumultuous groWing-up a
dwindling of our Issei population
would not have evoked within me
this vague feeling Of regret. There
were too many conflicts between
us-Issei will pitted against Nisei
will But today, I have attained
something of perceptive under
standing. And if think our bat
tie against a hostile world was
shaking one, I sense that the lives
of our Issei were fraught with
deeper wells of human experience
than our lives will ever know
There was about 1t an epic qua
lily. Fortified with optimism and
a smattering of English, the Issei
carved foothold in a new world
Their women followed uncomplain-
ingly. pitting their woman's frail
hut steel-like endurance against
loneliness and a thousand unknown
fears.
They prospered by sheer indus
try. They eagerly accepted Ca
madam ways. They found that as
their circumstances improved, ra-
cial antagonisms intensified
Then the Nisei were born. The
Issei dreams were transferred to
their sons and daughters. For
them, tomorrow must be better.
Their coming assuaged the family
uncomfortable feeling of having
been rejected gave them purpose,
and their hope of returning to their
homeland waned to fanciful day
dreams.
The children grew up. They were
as Canadians as their parents were
foreigners. Instead of comrade-
ship, there were conflicts as the Is
sci tried to temper their children's
enthusiasts with something of
caution. as they tried to instil in
them the only culture they them

The Japanese community in Ca

the Isssi population moving quietly
into their twilight years and hear
of their dwindling numbers. feel
something of regret and a kind of
inexpressible sorrow With them

quality which makes an era me-
morable.
The Issei are leaving us We,
who have lived within the shadow
of their heyday, cannot help but
wonder a little.
The tempo of Issei living has
slowed down into twilight grey,
lighted by memories. We find them
living quietly in two or three rooms.
We find them a part of Nisei ia

once they ruled with firm and de-
finite hand. We find them polite

They show no resentment. The
lines on the faces of Issei people

deep in their eyes there is the look
of memory.
They have accepted this chapter
of their lives as they have accept

CHOCOLATE OR COCOA?

AS you shop for chocolate or CO.
Goa, do you often become puzzled
as to which type to purchase?
Both chocolate and cocoa come
from the same cocoa bean and va
ry in form and fat content only.
Breakfast" cocoa contains less fat
than the unsweetened bar choco-
late you use for cooking Because
of its low fat content this cocoa Is
less expensive than the unsweet-
ened bar chocolate and can be
stored on the kitchen shelf. Cho-
colate requires cool storage to pre-
vent the fat from becoming rancid.
Breakfast" cocoa can be substi-
tuted for the unsweetened bar
chocolate in cooking. However,
lighter brown product will be the
result. The proportions for sub
stitution should be three level ia
blespoons breakfast cocoa for each
ounce or square of unsweetened
bar chocolate. To compensate for
the lack of fat in this type of CO.
Goa, add one level teaspoon shor-
tening, butter or margarine for
each square Of chocolate for the
most satisfactory result
A hot beverage made with break
fast" cocoa, sugar and scalded
milk is nutritious and welcome on
cold morning. For a quick and
easy hot drink, serve the instant
mix cocoa to which only boiling
mixes contain cocoa, milk solids
water need be added Instant
and sugar which makes the result
ing beverage comparable to one
made with milk and "brsakfast"
cocoa.
Grocery shelves often reveal
quaint tin boxes of imported
Dutch Process" cocoa or perhaps
you have seen the American brands
displayed. This cocoa is of high
quality, has slightly more fat than
breakfast cocoa. It has been

high in causes of death among
children means that much remains
to be done.
Children may be infected with
tuberculosis in two ways: by drink
ing milk from infected COWS and
by contact with infected humans.
The careful testing of dairy herds
and elimination of animals found
to harbor tubercle bacilli, and the
almost universal pasteurization of
milk have all but eliminated bo-
vine tuberculosis among children
There remains then the unsus-
pected exposure of the child to an
adult human being suffering from
ac'tive pulmonary tuberculosiS
Mothers cough and loss of weight
may not be due to too many ciga-
rettes; grandfathers troublesome
cough may not be caused by asthma
or his pipe. Both may have open
active tuberculous infection of the
lungs and both constitute real ha-
yards to the young child in the
home.
Early recognition of the child
hood type of tuberculosis is import
ant. While careful examination
may reveal no physical signs of the
disease, positive skin test is alb
solute evidence that the child has
been-and may still be-exposed
to a source of infection. The logi-
cal place to look first is, of course,
the child's home. Many cases of
unsupported tuberculosis in adults
have been uncovered because of a
childs positive tuberculin test.
tuberculosis is unlike measles,
chicken pox or whooping cough
in that having the disease once
does not protect an individual from
having it again. In the case of
tuberculosis, having it again"
means reinfection with the more
serious adult form with it's atten-
dant high rate of mortality.
Prompt removal of the source
of his infection allows the child to
live normally with only slightly
greater chance of developing the
adult form of the disease than if
he had never had the primary or
childhood type.

CHILDHOOD TUBERCULOSIS

Reduction In the number of in
fants and children who are infect
ed with tuberculosis is gratifying
and encouraging. This has been
brought about by the splendid CO.
operation of parents, physicians,
dairymen, schools, hospitals, re-
search laboratories, anti-tubercu-
losis leagues and health depart
ments.
The fact that fewer children die
of tuberculosis today means that
we are on the right track But the
fact that the diseas, still ranks

BY unlocking the atom, man
inevitably unlocked the universe.
And it became apparent that
technology finally had caught up
with, and had overtaken. hui
manity itself.
Early science fiction accented
the machine. Its authors were
preoccupied with gadgets. Now.
however. the spotlight is on
people-their effect on the tools
of spacecraft and the gadgets'
effect on them. This sober and
relatively adult philosophy may
Someday make science fiction
great literature.
Although there are no great
writer's in the field yet. there are
good ones. And if trash is still
being printed in the guise of
science fiction. the proportion
of really good writing is in
creasing rapidly.
Credit for this development
can be given. largely. to three
magazines among the two dozen
or so currently being published.
Oldest and largestr-and best
known-is Astounding, with o

There's a iponderfui fanIy
named Stein.
There's Cert. and there's Ep,
and there's Elm:
Gert's poems are bunk,
Fps statues are Junk,
And no one can understand Elm.
This well-known limerick en-
phasizes one aspect of the
Stein family" but overlooks
another, vastly more important
one: Each Stein is the patron
saint Of q strange new art
form-and of them all, Elm is
the Stein whose influence on
the arts is likely to be the
greatest and longest lasting.
If it had not been for Prof.
Albert EinStein and his famous
equation on the interrelation OF
matter and energy. it is inn
probable that science fiction
would be the rising star of
literary respectability it is
today. There have been science
fiction writers Tin the space
opera sense of the terml since
Roman days. and some of them
have been great. H. G. Wells
and Jules Verne as examples.
But only recently has science
fiction become widely read. and
DR.. EinStein can be thanked
-or blamed-for its emergence.
When the atomic bomb was
dropped on Japan in August,
i945, science fiction came Of
age, according to its best-known
editor and authority, John w.
Campbell, jr., editor of Astound-
ing Science Fiction Magazine.
And in less than seven years,
science fiction has grown from
an obscure type of pulp maga-
zine writing to a literary form
familiar to most Americans.
Occasionally. the news col.
umns carry stories which indi-
cate that this new literary form
may be more science and less
fiction than one ordinarily would
think. The flying saucer"
stories are an example. An
other. which quoted a reputable
scientist as predicting the estab-
l1shment Of a military lookout
post 1000 miles up in space,
made front pages last week.
AII-Pevosive
Ignored by major publishers
and magazine editors before
World War II. science fiction
today has invaded the biggest
book houses. the pages of slick
magazines, the television chan
nels, the radio waves, the comic
bookS-even with renewed,
post-Buck Rogers vigor) the
newspaper comic strips. From
just a few thousand aficionados
q decade ago, science fiction's'
market has grown to the point
where about 10000 persons buy
] million copies of science fic-
ton magazines monthly and
where the television space opera,
Captain Video," runs neck-and-
neck in listener popularity with
the celebrated puppet show,
"Kukla. Fran and Ollie"
Yet even among writer's and
publishers of science fiction
there is no close agreement on
what science fiction Is. One

Charles Angoff, executive editor
Of the chain. Mr.. Ang0ff says
this works out fine: the Messrs.
Boucher and McComas each 60
to New York once a year, but
otherwise run the show from
the West Coast. F&SF is re-
puted to have q circulation Of
10000 to $4,000 copies an issue.
A particularly interesting
thing about F&SF is the num-
ber Of widely known general
fiction writer's it has presented
to science fiction readers.
Among them are Oliver La
Fargo, Andre Maurois, Elizabeth
Bowen, James Stephens, Jan
Struther. James Thurber and
Robert Graves. The magazine
also has discovered strange
tales by Daniel Defoe and
Charles Dickens, and is groom
ing its own new talent, such as
Winona McClintic and Richard
Matheson.
Hord Core Of Fondom
Much has been made of the
science fiction fan and his eff
feet on this literary form.
Practicing writer's and editors,
however, are inclined to dis
count the Importance of the
true fan, who joins clubs and
talks q jargon of his own. One
editor. thinks there are about
1000 fans in the country, an
other says $500. Neither fig
ure Is q substantial part of the
thriving market.
To the man In the hard
scrabble book-publishing game,
however, the true fan has one
value: He can be depended on
to buy almost anything that is
published. Milton Goodman,
head Of Merlin Press, a science
fiction house in New York, says
he needs $500 sales to make
his 'nut"-the cost Of putting
the book on the market. One
third Of the nut is assured when
a science fiction book is pub
lished. making the venture
somewhat less hazardous than
some other forms Of publishing.
In addition to Merlin Press,
Shasta "a Chicago house, also
specializes in science fiction.
