High Noon: Cinematic Masterpiece
Having ..'-pat through several good movies thus far in 1952, I would like .to. express the opinion that perhaps "High Noon" is one of Hollywood's finest product? of this or any other year.
There in the mood, the atmosphere and the theme that is all so appealing in this cinematic masterpiece that is concerned with the courage and cowardice of human beings and suggests bleakly that people are more concerned with the selfish end of things rather than an ideal, this time symbolized in the tiny star of justice.
The epic struggle between the force? of good and evil is impressively depict, d here, aided by the suggestive interplay of Dimitri -tiomkin's mo-.dy musical score and the singing of the, "High Noon Ballad" by Tex Hitter which further heightens the sense of impending doom. The film seemed like a Do.stoyevskian novel (Crime & . Punishment) in which good and evil battle.
Not the least of the elements that make this movie an artistic triumph, is actor Gary Cooper, usually a stock stereotype in most of hisi films, but thoroughly convincing here as the town marshall who realizes, perhaps unheroieaUy in comparison to the general run of insipid westerns, that he must kill or be. killed, consequently writing out his last will before going out to battle. .
It is not difficult to sympathize with this gaunt marshall who almost singlehandedly kills the advancing gang of three ruffians while the rest of the town co\vcrs under bed-sheets. But one wonders about his cynicism as he throws the symbol of justice, the tin star, into the dust in the.finale, and whether it was really good or evil that was the victor.
"High Noon" is a tremendously absorbing and satisfying film. As such, it is a rare specimen.. ;

VANCOUVER � Little cooperation had been received from the Japanese Canadian public in regard to the proposed 1952 Directory, reports the Vancouver J CCA Census Committee.
The Committee had requested all persons over Xti years of ago whose names had 'not appeared in. the 1951 directory to report their names, addresses and phone numbers, or to report any errors ill the old directory. Up to this date, the committee has not received the co-operation it had asked.
The number of new names have been doubled through research but the list will not likely be compiled until the Fund Drive \\\\-been completed. The Directory; first planned to be published in September, may:not be out .until late this year or perhaps in 1953.
The Committee is therefore once again asking for co-opera-
tion which is essential for the success of the Directory. Information can be sent to any of tho following:
Roosevelt Hotel, ldfi'.E, Hastings St., MA. 4057; Seiji 'Hoinnia, Great Northern Cannery, Sherman, B. C, West 1661; Mickey Nakashima, 355(5 West 1st Ave., CE. 7(388; Genichi Ohashi, ;48(>8-Walden' St., EM. 2594; Yukio Matsuba, 1111 Davie St., PA. 2990; Nobby Fujikawa, 21(i5 W. 3rd. Ave., CH. 1155.
. Donations, particularly from JC businessmen, will be gratefully accepted for the new Directory. No results have been reported concerning the JCGA Welfare Committee's request for old magazines to be sent to patients at the TB Sanitorium. Persons wishing to dp so should contact tiv-i'
Roosevelt. Hotel.
