NISEI
POTPOURRI
by Roy Yoshida
PARENTAL GUIDANCE
HELLO, boys, where did
you come from?
We came from ----- re-
location center.
What are you planning
to do?
Don't know yet.
Any friends or relatives
you can call or ---
Nnno, we haven't any.
This scene is said to
have taken place in a big
city depot between four be-
wildered young boys and a
relocated nisei who had re-
sided In the city for quite
some time. The boys each
had a suitcase, a few dol-
lars in their pockets, and
a future that had no di-
rection or destination.
They are facing life
with two strikes against
them when they bid good-
bye to a relocation center,
only they don' t realize it.
And they can look for no
appreciable help from older
nisei, who are having a
hard enough time trying to
take care of themselves.
They--to quote some of
them--- can't be "bothered”
with them.
PARENTS, let's look at
this problem with more
thought and wisdom, make
an honest appraisal, after
all they are your sons.
You can tell from your own
"first days" when you im-
migrated to this country
just what it means to go
into a "strange” country
and attempt to make "both
ends meet." In your case
you were the “answer" to
the dire need of so-called
"cheap labor." In the case
of your boys the situation
is different, there's "a
war going on" as we are
frequently reminded. And
the nisei welcome is "Hot
and cold" these days. They
are not generally considered
the "economic indispansible"
that you issei were when
you landed In California
many years ago.
THIS Is not a thesis
against relocation but a
basis for a sound reset-
tlement, a successful re-
location with foundation.
Pen t-u p youthful energy
cannot be caged in a relo-
cation center when the urge
is to go out. They should
bo given a chance to strike
out for themselves. But
they need your able, fa-
therly guidance more than
ever before. You owe them
at least a half-way fair
chance. "When they reset-
tle make sure they will be
well taken, care of. Don’t
rely too much on optomistic
say-so, but make sure.
FOR there's no feeling
so terrible as that lonely
feeling of being without
a friend in need.
