Blue Nagasaki is always good for sev­eral stories. Read about Able Chapter dOings and fishing club activities by Blue. And his report on the Club 100 Farrant Turner Invitational Softball league.

Which leads us to this month's editorial. Sports is certainly a big picture in the activities of Club 100 members, so we felt that a baseball article would be most appropriate.

And to wind up this edition of Puka Squares. You've probably heard bynow of the Birch Society forming an auxi­liary. The auxiliary is to be called the Sons of Birches.

And how about this swimming instructor who was explaining the buddy system to a group for beginners over at the Ythe other day. She asked: "Does anyone know what a buddy is?" Answered an 8-year old boy, "That's someone who drowns with you."

PUKA SQUARES The 20th Anniversary Luau will be held on June 2nd. The annual convention is to be held at the same time. Seems like a good idea. News stories within this month's pages give details.

We note in James Miyano's Board Hi­Lites that Bob Sato is resigning his exec. secretary post effective June 9, to continue his studies at the U. of Hawaii. Bob will still continue to play an active part in the Japan Tour.

Hakaru Taoka weighs in with a long and interesting column concerning Rural actiVities, with a special welcome for Conrad K. Kurahara, a Bakerite from the mainland who recently arrived to take over the post of Exec. Secretary for the Wahiawa Rural Branch YMCA.

Bob Taira is always good for a few stories about Dog chapter boys. We remember those times when Dog could barely gather its quorum of 8 or ten members for its monthly meetings. We note that the last meeting was good for 201 And there were times when the treasurer had nothing to report because there really was nothing in the treasury 1 But today, Dog has a balance of $518 -how about that 1

Then there's Richard Yamamoto's story about the doings of the Green Thumbers. Something always cooking with this group - having fun while learning.

Then Stanley Masumoto from Maui re­ports on several doings on the Valley Isle - Little League and Pee Wee base­ball, blood service insurance plan, and a general sprucing up of the clubhouse.

JAPAN TOUR Our D-Day is approaching rapidly. The Club 100 Tour Group will leave Honolulu on Setember 30, 1962 by Pan American Jet which will accommodate 159 of us happy travelers. The complete itineraries and the time schedule will be mailed out to the members as soon as they are available.

On this issue I would like to mention something about the unique service at Japan's friendly "Ryokan" or "Inn". The ryokan or Japanese-style hotel with its charac­teristic structure showing Japan's architectual tradition plus courteous service offered by kimono-clad maids attract many foreign travelers. It should be re­minded that every guest including women and children are required to remove their shoes and use slippers provided for their use when walking through the corridors on the way to and from their room. These slippers, however, are dis­carded upon entering the room. The rooms in the ryokan have developed from former days when guests were lodged in a large hall partitioned off by small movable screens. It is also not unusual for a group of four or more persons to s hare one room. That is possibly one of the reasons why the charge can be com­pli cated and difficult to understand by the foreign visitors. Although the chefs at the ryokan generally cook Japanese food, western-style cuisine can be had if the guest so desires just by specifically asking for it. On entering your room the maid provides guests with a drink of green tea and Manjus then asks the guest if he wishes to take a bath and change into a fresh and clean kimono. All ryokans offer private baths although group .bathing is more common to the majority. In some ryokans mixed baths is also available and I am sure that our Paisanos will enjoy it. Bedding is provided with the use of traditional "futon". However, with the r e markable improvement and development of the rubber industry in spring mattresses, it gives a somewhat Similarity in comfort to the western style bed. You really don't have to worry about the back ache.

JAPAN TOUR

The Committee is working very hard to make this Autumn tour a grand success. More than 170 members, wives, children, parents and next of kin are already Signed up -- for the tour and many more are expected to C0me in (those who paid $54 .00 down payment). We would like to remind you that member's full payment is due by July 9, 1962 plus $10.00 contingent fund. This contingent fund is to cover unexpected expenses, late emergency cancellations, refund for alternates document and medical expenses, group donation, possible gifts, etc. Interesting places to be visited by Club 100 tour group are Tokyo, Nikko, Kamakura, Enoshima, Hakone, Atami, Shizuoka, Gamagori, Nagoya, Ise-Toba, Osaka, Takarazuka, Nara, Kyoto, Kobe, Takamatsu, Hiroshima, Iwakuni, Yuda, Akiyoshido, Beppu, Kumamoto, Unzen, Nagasaki, Fukuoka-Dazaifu. The tour will terminate at Fukuoka. After the 23 day tour arrangements will be made for those who are interested in visiting Hong Kong.

The committee members are Calvin-Shimogaki, Gary Uchida, Shinobu Tofukuji, Walter Moriguchi, James Kawashima, Stu Yoshioka, Ronald Higashi, Frances Okazaki, Kazuo Hiranaka and yours truly'.

, FISHING Which family had delicious fresh fish cakes (especially made from Awa) lately? About 8 p.m. Bar,t.on Akami.ne ;: son of Bernard was the Town Cner on the Leeward side of Oahu as he an­nounced that his father caught a 3-1/2 lb. Awa on our monthly outing on Apnl 7. His catch has added poundage for "B" team and increased a larger dlf­ference in weight between the two teams. "A" team was white wash but they caught lot of "No-ne" - not a con­test catch.

All the boys were up usually early the following morning - checking of their poles were secondary but having deli­cious hot cakes with lots of butter, syrup and hot coffee was the main or primary reason - can't seem to under­stand the stomach of these boys. After cleaning up 25 quarts of turkey-wing curry for supper and then, early morn­for another big meal or breakfast.

Lt. Col. Stanley Kaufman, former.ly Captain in Camp McCoy, Wisco~sln, as Assistant Post Exchange Offlc.er, stopped by at the Clubhouse to VlSlt Club 100 boys. He and his wife were on their way around the world on the 5.5. Orianna. They formerly were book­ed on the President Wilson but because of the strike, had to make a change.

BAKER MONEY MAKING PROJECTS:

All the rumors permeating the air--to the effect that our chocolate candy was in the hold of one of the strike-stricken vessels dotting the harbor--are un­founded and groundless.

After finally making the telephone con­nection with the local representative here, it has been definitely ascertained that our preciOUS cargo had been care­fully stored and cared for on the docks in San Francisco and that as soon as the strike was over it would be shipped post haste on the first Hawaii-bound freighter to leave S.F.

And as of this writinp;, with a "truce" declared and sh!l?pi~g havi~g been re­sumed, our cargo's delivery is im­minent.

KEEP ON TAKING YOUR ORDERS.

Will contact you via grapevine system upon delivery of cargo of chocolate at the clubhouse.

* • * • '" The biggest event of the year as far as Bakerites are concerned is the annual stag affair honoring the New Year--the "SHINNENEIKAI" and because of va­rious reasons--this affair is held in the month of March, instead of earlier.

This year's was no exception. The af­fair was scheduled for Saturday March 31. But there, any resemblance to pre­vious year's affairs ended. Instead of :he usual teahouse affair of yore, the :lubhouse enclosure was the scene of his year's affair--with a nine-course :::hinese dinner as the menu for the !vening.

~ine tables were set for this gala af­air, each Sitting IO--every one, ex­:ept 2 were fully occupied. The exact .uendance totaled 75 plus.

5

Of course, there were some new faces­-(we have never missed yet.) AND to keep this record intact and extended, LAWRENCE TSUCHIYA was in at­tendance--definitely a first timer, he was. But the story goes that his arm had to be twisted pretty hard, by the chairman himself, being old, old F company buddies I Besides, I hear tell that Larry plans on making the Japan trip this coming fall.

Old new faces among the faithful "old guards" were, JOHNNY KIHARA, All the way from Wahiawa--(what brought you wayouthere,Johnny?" "CHEETA" OKADA a transplant to Waianae from Kaimuki was there. So was FRANCIS SHINOHARA there. Thought you worked day and night fella? I thought I saw CHORIKI SHIMABUKU that evening toO­-but could be a case of mistaken iden­tity. Please pardon, if such be the case, Choriki. AND--OYABUN 0 made one of his RARE appearance of this year, again --but he disappeared so fast and com­pletely so early, and again with MIKE TOKUNAGA I Say, what goes on there, Mike? Is it CLUB FUJI?

The most surprising part "DOut the whole dinner--food--I'm talking about was the fact that EVERY table had food

'teft over, notwithstanding the fact that all these fellas were veterans and sup­posedly thereby, CHOW HOUNDS to boot I STARTLING., NOI

Really Kengo, the food was excellent and we tried our level best--but the food was much, much, too much, in quantity, that isl All comments ran along the sa;ne line. There wasn't a single dis­satisfied person, as far as fo od was concerned--it was that ONO and T AKU­SANI

The entertainment that followed, I have had varied criticisms, gripes, and ~om­ments on. The movies was a bit toO long and monotonous--we should have moved from the commonplace. to the sublime, not vice versa as we dId. Be-

sides the "can-can" performers could have made a longer performance, es­pecially when there was more than one! How come we had to dig in extra to pay for entertainment, this time?

But all in all, everyone seemed to enjoy the evening from start to finish. And although the usual parlor games took over afte r the entertainment and lasted far into the early morning hours, again, groups congregated in all nooks and corners available to rehash the war over again.

Hats off to Yasuto Furusho, Kengo Mi­yano and Co for a wonderful affair.

But there was another startling fac t apparent for this occasion. What was it ? Why did it happen to be so? Was the entertainment enough? Somehow for one reason or another, this night ended with a few having a midnight snack at the HALE NANEA, and calling it quits for the evening, YES, THERE WAS NO

NIJIKAI--in the broad sense of that word! SO ENDED STAG NIGHT 1962. WE ARE REALL Y GETTING OLD FEL­LAS!

* * * * * Just to remind you all that THE FLINT ­STONE Nite affair scheduled for the April has been postponed indefinitely. Just to elucidate this affair a little. It was intended that this affair be just the husband-and-wife affair, to make the rounds of the Night Clubs after a sumptious dinner , at a swanky spot.

And because we are not having a ClUb 100 convention this year, it being com­bined with the 20th Anniversary Luau m the month of June, the thinking is that perhaps we can hold this FLINT­STONE AFFA IR this month. WHAT DO YOU THINK? How about airing your views on this matter.

* * * * * Have run out of gas, so will close short for this time.

Sayonara for now, DO

RURAL The Rural Chapter's March meeting was held at the Kemoo Farm Restau­rant with VA representative Yasuo Takata as guest speaker for the eve­ning. As most of you know, Yasu is a Bakerite and his presence at the meet­ing was like a reunion since many of the Ruralites are former Baker Com­pany men. Thanks, Yasu, for spending the evening chatting and bringing the boys up to date on veterans benefits. It's been a long time since we've had anyone bring us up to date on veterans benefits. Also present at the March gathering was Club 100 President, Donald Kuwaye. What was Donald doing with us - well he was instrumental in arranging for the VA speaker for us and to top it off he was good enough to accompany Yasu to our meeting. To you too, Donald, goes our thanks for taking time out from your busy Club 100 bowling schedule to be with us. If my memory serves me right, this is the first time that we've had the pleasure of a visit by the Club 100 President at our monthly meeting.

May I mention that at our March meet­ing we were joined by a few of our fel­low brother veterans of the Rural Chap­ter 442. I'd like to mention also at this time that the Rural Chapters 100/442 Veterans Council is serving a very use­ful purpose to foster closer relation­ship between the two units. It is antici­pated that more jOint ventures and actlvities will be coordinated through­out the year. The next joint affair under­way is the money making project (movie) scheduled for May 9th at the Wahaiawa Theater.

Our deepest sympathy goes to Mitsuo Nagaki, our prexy, who recently lost his father.

A couple of months ago Mack Fukusaki was suddenly taken ill with a heart attack and confined at the Wahiawa General Hospital for a spell. For quite

a while no visitors were permitted to visit with him; however, Mac recover­ed quite rapidly and at the present time is at home convalescing. To you Mack goes our very best wishes for a speedy recovery.

During the March meeting Yasu Takata mentioned that I had forgotten to an­nounce that John Kihara (Kihara Elec­tric) had become the father for the fourth time. Well, it was not intentional but just that I'm so darn lazy that I've written articles for the Puka Puka Pa­rade only intermittently. For those of you who have not heard as yet, John Kihara now has two girls and two boys. Incidentally, just to keep the record straight and so that you guys don't get excited--this blessed event which I am referring to took place over half year ago and maybe by now the bambino may be walking or even talking.

Since I'm on the subject of happy events, I would also like to mention at this time that Saburo Inamasu also became a fa­ther for the fourth time (baby was born in November 1961). For Saburo, the ad­dition of the fourth bambino was an extra special event, I guess, for after having three girls in a row he finally hit the jackpot and got a boy.

To John Kihara and Saburo Inamasu my apologies for the belated announcement and anyhow, congratulations to you both.

On Wednesday evening, March ll,lre­ceived a phone call from Fred Wada at which time Fred had asked me if I had read a particular article of a 1 DOth boy in the Wahiawa Press (see accompany­ing article).

Furthermore, according to the Wahiawa Press, Conrad is a graduate of Baldwin Wallace College in Ohio where he re­ceived his BA degree and got his masters degree in social work from Columbia University in New York. Well, Conrad, if you should per chance get a copy of Puka Puka Parade, may I welcome you to our community through the media of this publication for now, at least.

For you Ruralites who have not been attending our meetings regularly, may I mention at this time to alert you to the fact that the plan now is that we will be holding a joint Rural Chapters 100/442 picnic sometime in July. The plan was originally that of the Rural 442's, however, they have very gra­ciously extended the picnic invitations through the Rural 100/442 Veterans Council to the Rural 100.

Conrad Kurahara California born, Ohio and New York educated Conrad K. Kurahara is new executi ve secretary of the Rural branch YMCA in Wahiawa.

He replaces Takeshi Harada who left the YMCA in September for a post at the, University of Hawaii.

The Wahiawa YMCA BoardofManagers has planned a reception for Kurahara Friday from 4:30t06p.m.attheYMCA. Community residents, civic leaders and businessmen are invited to welcom e him and his family to Wahiawa.

Kurahara comes to the community after serving as assistant program director of the Neighborhood House in Milwaukee where he has been since 1958. Prior to that, he served at the Firman House in Chicago and Manhattanvllle Com­munity Center in New York.

The new YMCA official was educated at Baldwin Wallace College in Ohio where he received his B.A. degree in 1950. He did graduate work at Ohio State and got his masters degree in social work from Columbia University in N.Y.

Hawaii is not new to Kurahara. He is married to the former Jean Yanagihara of Nuuanu whom he married in Honolulu in 1953. Subsequently, they have visited in the islands with her parents for short periods of time in 1957 and 1958.

The couple and their two children, John 5, and David, 1, presently are staying with the Masaichi Yanagiharas of 2448 Rooke Ave. in Honolulu. They would like to move to Wahiawa ("It would be ideal to live there") and plan to settle in Hawaii.

Kurahara served in World War II as a replacement with the 100th Battalion of the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team.

BOARD Hawaii Chapter offered to host both the Convention and the Anniversary Luau in Hilo as a single affair. The Board decided to reject this offer and both events will be held simultaneously in Honolulu on June 1 thru 3.

Our 20th Anniversary Celebration will be highlighted by a luau in Turner Hall, Fort De Russy, on Saturday evening, June 2, 5:30 PM. Co-chairmen Taka­ichi Miyashiro, Robert Takato; and the Luau Committee is planning a gala af­fair second to none.

Robert Sato submitted his resignation as Executive Secretary so that he can enroll at the U. of Hawaii to continue his studies. The Board accepted his resig­nation which will be effective on June 9. He has been in this official capacity for four years and we wish him success in his future endeavor. Bob will continue as one of the leaders of our Japan Tour group.

By a concurrent resolution of the First Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Club 100 has been commended in its project and granted permission to convey soil from the National Cemetary of the Pa­cific (Punchbowl) to be enshrined in the Ryozen Kannon Shrine in Kyoto, Japan this autumn. This shrine was built by Mr. Hirosuke Ishikawa of Tokyo, Japan, in 1955 as a memorial to all military dead of World War II.

Article III, paragraph 5 "Special Pro­visions", By-Laws of the Club 100, provides to the Board of Directors the power to waive or suspend payments of annual operating dues in individual instances for any reason whatsoever. Each chapter officials are requested to investigate and report to the Board any member's case which warrants relief under this Article.

GREEN THUMBERS Members and friends who were present at the last meeting received a down to earth talk on the use of fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides. Guest speaker, Wallace Nakamoto, manager of the Star Garden Supply brought the different brands available and explained the use of each.

Regular systematic application is the best and rotation in the use of each item is highly recommended. Insecti­cides and fungicides must be applied as a preventive measure and according to direction. Corrective measures are usually too late. Other corrective measures are to dry the plant out and if plants are shriveling, to change the media.

An interesting demonstration in pro­pagating cattleya orchids was given. In order to fully appreciate successfu l propagation, one must know the bloom­ing cycle and the number of bulbs sent out each year. This will prevent ex­cessive retardation or killing of the plant. Action taken at the right time is beneficial to the plant. Repotting with hapu and osmunda were also demon­strated.

For the May 7 meeting featur.ing re­potting of orchids, Goro Sumida wlll demonstrate with vandas, Authur Koml­yama with cattleyas and Mahjong Yoshi­mura will do other generas. Club 100 members and friends are all invited. I'm sure we all have plants that needs repotting but are afraid to do so. Bring your plant and if division is desired, also bring a pot or two.

E~H.rl.I-SPRIN8 F~ER -STRIKEI No. It's not the shipowners vs seamen, nor the unions vs the pineapple companies, nor any of the knotty labor-management impasse.

'Tis the true harbinger of spring, that wonderful world of kids from six to sixty, the delight of soda pop and hot dog and ice cream vendors, the passion of writers and broadcasters. It is that dream of every American lad - the full swing at a horsehide missile. Itriocking it over the fence; not going down to that fatal call of "STRIKE THREEI YOU'RE OUTI"

We do not know when or under what circumstance baseball was first indroduced to . Hawaii but we do know that the first Congregationalist missionaries arrived in Hawaii in 1820, and that the first regulation ball game under the rules invented by Abner Doubleday was played in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839. Since the missionaries gOt tabbed with everything else, we can conjecture that the introduc­tion of baseball to the Hawaiian scene must have been another device of the mis­sionaries to control the Hawaiians, at least 18 of them during the progress of a ball game, anyway. We can also imagine the cOnsternation and bewilderment as the first game was being played near the old taro flats of Waikiki, with the feather­ed ducks as the main spectators way out in left field: "Auwel What those crazy haoles up to nowl"

Of course, the idea of batting an object with the end of a stick is not original with Abner Doubleday, or anyone else for that matter. It is something that comes nat­urally to all kids. But it took this guy Doubleday to fashion the individual actions of playing with sticks and stones into the game of baseball as we know it today.

Modern day baseball is surrounded and entwined in all the glamor of our times, from the hoop-de-do of home run king Roger Maris to the new 56,000 seat $18 million home of the Dodgers in Chavez Ravine . But despite all the trappings at the national level, baseball essentially belongs to the young people; the young people whom Abner Doubleday must have had in mind when he devised the rules of baseball. For it is at this age level that baseball is most fun, because here is the heart of America: millions of young peopie actually playing the games.

In Hawaii, baseball is no Llifferent from that of the 48 contiguous states (we do not know the situation in Alaska). School, sandlot, and community diamonds form the backbone of baseball in our islands. But we are getting sophisticated too. For we now have the Islanders - a pro team of our ownl Nothing finer could have hap­pened to baseball in Hawaii, for the Islanders provide the glamor which has become a necessary part of the I!:am e . Ir I!:ives our youngsters a target to shoot at . For each fast breaking pitCh, each hit, every fancy catch on the sandlot diamonds is but a testing and feeding ground for teams like the Islanders.

But baseball serves us in many another way: development of a keen sense of competition and fair play, the fun of winning and the letdown of losing, and a sourse of Ins.piration - those human feelings so Vitally necessary for the full growth of the young at heart, all wrapped up in Abner Doubleday's creation. And as we watch these kids at play, we cannot help but feel young again. For spring is here .

And even in Hawaii where the seasonal transitions are hardly noticeable baseball adds something to the spring equinox. For baseball in the spring now ~eans the

Islanders also. For this, we owe a wave of the bat to Nick Morgan, Jr ., and Chinn Ho. May the umpire's call of "PLAY BALL!" bring many a pleasure to both ,these gentlemen. It has to ,the rest .of us, because fO~,we who now sit o.~t the game In the stands the umpire s unequivocal bellow of STRIKE THREE always takes us back ~o our turn at home plate - a place from which we all must first start.

20th Anniversary Luau & Convention On June 4th or thereabout of each year, the Club lOO holds its Annual Luau to renew old acquaintances. It was on this very day in 1942 that approximately 1,400 strong of the 100th Infantry Battalion were transported half way around the world to battle for freedom on the European Theatre.

We received a very encouraging letter from the Big Island Chapter that they would like to ho!'<t the convention and luau in Hilo this year. However. we feel that with the luau and convention in July and the Japan Tour in late September. the members will be too occupied. It is assumed that those members and their wi v'es who have already signed up for the tour will not attend the convention because of two trips in about two months. Therefore, our Board finally decided to hold 20th Anniversary luau and convention here in Honolulu this year.

LUAU LUAU LUAU

Club 100 is holding a somewhat exaggerated Luau on Saturday, June the 2nd, at the Army Reserve area at Ft. De Russy, same location as last year, because of its 20th Anniversary Significance .

Contact your chapter representatives listed below for tickets. Price is $3.50 for adults and $1.50 for children. We would like to remind you that no tickets will be sold at the door.

Come early for Happy Hour - cocktails and pupus - 5:30 to 6:3U p.m. Food will be served promptly at 6:30 p.m.

Come informally in your colorful Muumuu s and Aloha Shirts.

Co-chairmen--Robert Takato and Takeichi Miyashiro (C)

CHARLIE The coming month will be a busy one for Club 100 members with the annual luau scheduled for June 2, and Charlie Chapter members will be doing their share of the work. Kiyoshi Uyeno is the chapter representative and he will be busy lining up our chapter responsibi­lity, cO-duty with Dog Chapter for clean-up. This clean-up duty may not require much advance planning but we have other work where we must pitch in.

For one thing, the co-chairmen of this event is the working team of Robert Takato and Chicken Miyashiro, both from C Chapter. The luau needs all the manpower we have and the entire Club 100 membership will be doing their part. But, by familiarity, C Chap­te r members should be prepared to be s ingled out for special duties. Yoroku Ito has been recruited already. Baker Chapter is in charge of food prepara­tion, but Bo Shiozaki of our chapter has been asked to serve on this sub­committee. We know Bo is one of our to p hustlers and when he does a job, he does it to the best of his ability.

The annual Convention is also going to be held during the weekend of June 2. And here again we have Tom Matsu­mura of Charlie as chairman of this event. With the convention combined with the luau, there will be less man­power available to pass around the work. Ronald Higashi "volunteered" into this committee to be our chapter representative.

C Chapter will also be having a family nite on Sunday, May 6th. Hideshi Niimi is chairman and he will be assisted by Saburo Ishitani and I'm sure Richard Yamamoto can be counted on to help where ever he can.

Ralph Ikeda will be taking a trip to the outside islands during the last week of April. If he seems to be trying to

dodge Club 100 activities~ do~'t. judge him too hastily because thIS triP IS part of his work. Besides, Ralph deserves a well-earned rest from his work. Re­member, the hectic state budget session just ended, and Ralph was working day and night for the State Administration in the Budget Bureau.

Robert Hashimoto, our chapter vice­preSident, will be another person you may not see around the clubhouse during the month of May. He is the general chairman for a Building Fund Bazaar sponsored by the Daijingu Temple of Hawaii on May 18 and 19. This is a heavy responsibility and he is contri­buting his services towards a worthy cause. We can give him a boost by showing Ollr faces at the bazaar.

These busy days will become days to remember with satisfaction over a job well done - let us remember, "For Continuing Service".

We were happy to see Tsutomu Taka­yama and his family present at the last Club 100 Easter Party. Tsutomu is at Leahi Hospital, but can come out to be with his family once in a while. We hope to see him more often and wish him speedy recovery.

Our softball team wasn't too successful recently. Guess we'll have to start re­cruiting associate members to augment the team and provide for back up of some tired feet and aching backs.

BOWLING BEHIND THE PINSETTER'S CAGE

The "Lucky" SEVENTH week of bowl­ing was just concluded. To be exact, 'twas Friday, the 13th of April, a double combination that is thought to be a har­binger of evil, extreme bad luck or ter­rible catastrophe.

And to the league-leading SHISEIDO COSMETICS team, the only girl-com­bine, it must have been just so -- a ter­rible, terrible calamity -- even GRACE TAKASHIGE's "Majinai", notwith­standing -- 'cause, for the second time in the seven weeks' of play, they were really smashed 3-1 by the hot-and-cold CLOCK & TROPHY bowlers. Could be that a Bakerite, namely, HEIJI FUKUDA was their NEMESIS??? And just coinci­dence, perhaps, but ----

The first time that they were smashed 3-1, was also at the hands of Bakerites­-9 of them that comprise the happy-go­lucky SAKURA BAR team???

The gals are still hanging on to the lead, spider web thin, being one point over their number one NEMESIS -- the SA­KURA BAR rollers, though.

But --- what was bad for some, was good for others, naturally -- for nature works by balances. For instance, the biggest upsurge wa s created by the till­now ve ry dormant, NORTH AMERICAN INSURANC E keglers, who only a weeks ago were occupying the "atlas" posi­tion along with last year's champeens--

the HOLO HaLO APPAREL--and "holding up" the r e st of the teams.

With the like of Richard Yamamoto (winner of two jackpots with two 200 plus games) and T. T. finally rounding into form, they are now in in disputed possession of 3rd place by 1/2 pOint, ha ving wedged in between the two front

running Baker teams--SAKURA BAR and THE NAKAT ANI FARM teams, pre­viously in a deadlock for second place.

The Nakatani Farm team sUpped into 4th place by being shellacked 3-1.

The team standing are as follows: (Week of April 13, 1962):

In the realms of individual achieve­ments, out hats off to KEN MURO­SHIGE of Nakatani Farms. The week previous to thiS, he fashioned a three­game series of 685 WO /H. Too bad, the guy bowling in the Sub-Pac League on the same week bowled a perfect 300 game to be named Bowler of the Week by the newspapers. For our money though, you were the bowler of the week --for our league. CarqG RATULA TlONS, KEN.

In second place in this department-­Hi-3 WO/H is RICHARD IGE with a 622.

In rolling up this fantastic series, Ken's single, high game was 254, good enough to be tops in the Hi-l WO/H division. Fred Nakamura is in second position in this department with a 244.

In fact, Ken Muroshige now leads in every individual department, except one. The one exception being in the Hi-l W / H department in which his teammate, ROY NAKAYAMA leads with a 26(1 over his 257, which is good enough for second place, though.

But one good turn deserves another, and the generous owners of this establish­ment MIKE MORIWAKE & FRANKMA­RUSHIGE have donated not one, buttwo trophies.

They are both "Most-Improved Bowler" trophip.s . However, one is specifically for the SAKURA BAR team members. The other is for the league . THANKS LOADS, MIKE AND FRANK. (Note: Mike is the kid brother of George Moriwake. (A) KIA). NANEA for your donation to OUT

League. It is deeply appreciated.

And a much belated thank you to our bowling establishment, the STADIUM BOWL-O-DROME for the opening day prize for which incidentally there was a tie' between "Blue" Nagas aki and Jimmy Inafuku--but which both of them refused to accept--and as a conse­quence, it will be used as an additional prize of some kind.

Speaking about donors, thanks also should go to the SPORTSMEN'S ROOM, Kapahulu where management also do­nated two trophies--one to ClUb 100 Bowling League and the other to the Golf Club. Thank you , FRANK ODA for your kind generosity. (Incidentally Frank also owns Holo Holo Inn)

Sanga Ari by Tutz

Someone was once heard saying that there's a bit of Japanese in the heart and mind of just about everyone living in Hawaii. SANGA ARI, then, could possibly become the most popular pic­ture in the parade of Japanese produc­tlons lensed on-location in Hawaii.

SANGA ARI, of course, is the picture Story of Hawaii's Japanese, as seen through the eyes of two famili es who left their homeland many years ago to begin life in America.

For the bo--:-office, where the rustle of the green- stuff and the tinkle of loose change decides the success of a motion p~cture, there is no "shimpai". This Picture is loaded with "built-in" guar­antee.

Oldsters will find themselves mirrored on the screen in the roles created by Takamine, Tamura, Kobayashi and Kuga. Others will identify themselves with the parts played by Curtis, Haya­kawa, Kuwano and Ishihama, or the familiarly portrayed characterizations of the various supporting players.

Adding to the insurance of a "record­smashing" run, are the multitude which make up the "aikanes" of the scores of local residents who had speaking roles in the film. And a prolific plus , the friends and neighbors of the hundreds of Honolulans who gave atmospheric "color" to the picture as extras.

FOREI8N FILMS "Imports", spotlighted into new importance in the American motion picture re­leasing schedule due to Hollywood's diminishing theatrical production program have become a prominent and permanent part of our movie menu.

The tag, "imports" were originally used by the New York distributors of foreign films. The carefully selected films from various foreign countries were channeled to the mushrooming art theatres across the nation, after initial showings in the New York area. Critics' comments and reviews, especially by the Gotham writers, were very important to the success of these pictures.

Special attention and and unusual treatments were necessary in publicizing and advertising these "imports".

The more discriminating picture-goers of Honolulu were first offered a regular screening of foreign films a few years back when the Palace theatre began a series of Wednesday screenings.

Some notable "imports" were shown then, and necessarily, a certain amount of duds, too. But, even the poorer films, because of their unusual techniques, flavor and uniqueness proved to be ipteresting and worth sitting through to "fin".

Honolulu's elusive picture policy shifted the "import" base to the Queen theatre. And for longer dating of each one, usually a week, with the "box-office bonanzas" enjoying an extended run.

Occasionally, re-issue prints of distinguished sub-titlers were brought back to the University of Hawaii campus theatre.

A flood of foreign-made films are now being distributed by the American com­panies. It has become quite a task for the average moviegoer to distinguish these from the Hollywood-film variety. Many foreign movies are dubbed-in with English dialogue for mass appeal. Quite a few are re-edited and "chopped-up" to an excrciating end.

Significant imports and foreign films of top calibre are still carefully handled and distributed via the art house route in their original versions with English sub­titles.

The much-publicized "Two Women", Vittorio De Sica's film starring Sophia Loren was shown locally in the English-dubbed print. Enjoyed it thoroughly, and now, I would like to see the Italian version with sub-titles. Joe Levine, handling the Amer­ican release, is offering the sub-titled print in the more selective theatres on the mainland.

A French version of Bardot's "A Woman Like Satan" played recently. This, after the English dubbed version, which was shown some years ago.

How would like to sit through a Japanese samurai epic, for instance, with dubbedpin dialogue in English. In Engrish, ho-hol

Coffee. ClgareHII an~ CI ••• a The dynamic art of conversation takes on added impetus wnen the discourse deal s with cinema, induced by cup after cup of coffee and puff after puff of filtered fag.

One night, a trio of charactdrs, ignoring the more normal and ordinary bits of small talk around the other tables in the cozy cafe, became at once deeply involved in the endless pros and cons of films and filmmakers.

Not unlike the marathon movies and the lengthly double-features that required intermission, the conversation continued far and deep into the late night.

"Unforgettables" of the film industry, giants of the glamour bUSiness, memorable individual scenes and performances, and meritorious movies of the past were revived and recollected.

Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon", destined to be THE great cinema of all time; Orson Welles' controversial "Citizen Kane"; the charm and warmth of Albert Lamorisse's short feature, "The Red Ballon"; Federico Fellini's "La Strada"; the films of Ingmar Bergman; the pantomimicry of Jacques Tati; the quaint tech­nique of Keisuke Kinoshita's "Ballad of Narayama" and most of Hitchcock's hair­raisers.

Vittorio De Sica; the well-defined script of "The Seven Samurai"; the nouvell e vague; Kon Ichikawa's films; experimental films like "The Savage Eye" and "ShadOWS"; and of course, BB & FF, (Bardot and French films) .•.

And I still think Kurosawa's "Yojimbo" is "itchi-ban" ••. the opening scenes behind the title when Mifune appears scratching his neck, bac~, chin and arm is a tickler.

Shall we go catch a movie tonight? While we're pondering whether it'll be one at a beach house or the double-bill at a neighborhood theatre, an import from France, Italy or Sweden or the big one from good old England, or how about that m\!ch dis­cussed Japanese "eiga" ... did it ever occur to you how the old-time moving pic­tures or flickers have gone through over half a dozen appellations since the nickle­odeon days?

Pfctures moved, thus it was called moving pictures or motion pictures. Later, shortened to the more popular movies, overseas it was better known as cinema. Shoptalkers use the phrase pictures. Films and even pic or pix are used quite often. So, how about flick? Eiga, eh? Here's another one, katsudo shashin, an ancient tag.

All right, the, "moom-pitcha". Les go see one good moom-pitcha tonight, no?

THE NAKED ISLAND

By DICK GIMA

The Ryukyu Islands, a chain of 63 islands between Southern Japan and Taiwan, are beautifully photographed in "The Okinawan," ~ 7()' minute documentary in '"East­m~n Color.

This is a reprint of a review which appeared

in the

Honolulu Star-Bulletin.

We offer sincere congratu­lations to Harold K. Miya­moto, director-photographer, and Robert M. Takeuchi, producer, for making such an outstanding film.

dances, lacquerware, shrines, religious r i t e s, historical sites, soap box derby races -and even it "habu" or two.

The habu Is a poisonous snake indigenous to the Ryukyus.

In one scene you see an ~lderly Okinawan-a profes­sional habu hunter-eatch. ing a habu with bare hands. And as if this we r en' t enough, he !/raps it around his neck!

MORE PLEASANT But let's talk about some·

thing more pleasant. The "bing~ta ," forexample.

It's a type of hand-blocked and hand-dyed textile used in the decoration of inte· riors; it has a 400-year pro· duction history.

The "Kasuri" cloth with

its distinctive designs plus its soft, non-fading colors will, no doubt, appeal to the women.

Scenes of sugar and pine· apple production may be of more interest to the men. In SOln.: ways, metnods used in their prciductiol\ are some­what Crude, but natives carry on their work with vigor and enthusiasm.

Four , pineapple canneries make possible the canning of a fruit which yields $6lh million annually.

So many places and things to see in such a short period of time! If you can't visit Okinawa, "The Okinawan" will prove an excellent sub­,titute.
