7 NEW EXECUTIVE SECRETARY Club 100 recently hired an ac ti ve club member to be the new Executive Secretary in Donald Kuwaye, Charlie Chapter member and past president of Club 100. Don recently retired from government service, specifically, from the Hawaii State Unemployment Insurance Office where he had worked since He started as a claims examiner in the office and rose to become examining supervisor in the ensuing years. Don should be qui te well-known by club members as he served two consecutive terms as president of Club 100 during the years 1963 and Previous to that he served also as secretary in 1959 and first vice president in An active Charlie Chapter member, he was their president for five different years--1956, 1960, 1968, 1969 and, most recently, Don currently is the Puka Puka Parade correspondant for Charlie Chapter. One other club activity Don participates in is the Club 100 Bowling League where he bowls with the North American Life team--the team that promises to give it another try for the championship which slipped by them last year when they placed third. The Kuwaye family consists of (besides Don): Janet, his wife, who works with the Board of Water Supply, and their three children- Robert, 20 years; Carol, 15; and Steven, 13. The search for an Executive Secretary started last September when continued on the next column page 5 Paul Nakachi left the club. A call went out to club members for applicants for the job. Several members responded and were screened by a special committee consisting of Conrad Tsukayama (Dog), chairman, and Ronald Higashi (Charlie) and Mike Tokunaga (Charlie). The 1972 Board of Directors made the final decision in a special Board meeting called for in late December. PRESIDENT's THAN K YOU President and Mrs. Hakaru Taoka threw a "thank you" party at the clubhouse in December for the 1972 Board members and committee chairmen and many others who had worked for the club during the year. More than eighty members and their wives were invited to this dinner party. The focus of the party, naturally, was the food, mos t of which was prepared by the president's wife, Sally, who should be congratulated and thanked for a most delicious night. ~ NORTH AMERICAN LIFE Insura nce Company Chicaqo GREGORY H.

8 ~ CLUBHOUSE RENOVATIONS If you haven't been by the clubhouse lately, you probably haven't heard about, much less, seen, the new "face lift" the clubhouse has had. The old office is no more. It has been renovated and remodeled into a completely different animal. The office is now completely enclosed with a glass door and glass pia tes over the counter. The termi te infested cabinets were ripped out and new ones installed. In view of the plans that were being made for the office, Ronald Higashi (Charlie) and Carl Shinoda (HQ) donated some office furniture to upgrade the interior as well. Thus, the two ancient army surplus desks and the chairs have been replaced by two new desks and chairs. In addition, an executive chair was donated by Rusty Nakagawa (Charlie). To top it off, the club received from Stanley Nakamoto (Baker) an air condi tioner for the enclosed office, and Biffa Moriguchi managed to get two glass plates to cover the jalousie windows to make them air tight). Calvin Shimogaki installed the air conditioner and Yoshio Hirose did the necessary paint touch up work. Yoroko Ito's (Charlie) Universal Electronics completed the electrical works. continued on next col. The office renovation project was approved by the 1972 Board of Directors in a special December meeting. A total of $2500 was appropriated for the projec t. Hawaiian Ventures, Inc., and Hawaii Metal Forming were contracted to do the job. The renova tion projec t was spearheaded by Ronald Higashi who did the work on getting the estimates the follow through.

9 AYUM I NO HAKO Charity Show Tsuneo Morikawa, general chairman, has already started the wheels turning on the second Ayumi-No-Hako Charity Show that Club 100 will sponsor. The contrac t wi th the Japan group has already been signed and filed and the Honolulu International Center has been reserved for August 26,1973. Working wi th Morikawa on this are the following committee chairmen: Ken Suehiro--vice chairman Noboru Furuya--liaison wi th Japan Ken Saruwatari--contract-license Hideo Kajikawa--finance Walter Moriguchi--tickets Tsuneo Morikawa--contributions Ben Tamashiro--publicity Ronald Higashi--transportation Calvin Shimogaki--stage Bob Takashige--special events Hakaru Taoka--invitations Kenneth Harada--awards The Ayumi-No-Hako Show is a totally charitable show. All the profits the club realizes from it will be plowed back into the community- every cent will be donated to nonprofit organizations for the benefit of handicapped children. The first show, held in 1970, netted $10,000. This year the committee expects to make more, and they can only through your help, especially i n the ticket-selling department. He who ' s not busy being born is busy dying. Bob Dylan 1 N THE LEG ISLATURE When the Seventh Session of the Hawaii State Legislature officially began on January 17, two Club 100 members were conspicuously present. Senators Sakae Takahashi (Baker Chapter) and Robert Taira (Dog Chapter), both Democrats, are long-time members of the state legislature. They both represent the Fifth Senatorial District. The two are active Club 100 members, Takahashi being chairman of the By-Laws Committee and Taira a member of the History Committee which will research and write the post war history of Club 100. Up in Washington, D.C., Congressman Spark M. Matsunaga is starting his fifth term as representative from Hawaii. Matsunaga i s a Dog Chapter member. Club 100 congratulates these three men on their personal achievements and the contributions they have made (and are making) to this community and the nation. We offer here a defini tion of ::;0- cial Responsibility (from the Asian Joint Communications) that these me n do an,] ' :lub 100 should reflect: To work not only to solve one's own problems, but also the problems that face our communities.

10 ~ 100th IN CONGRESSIONAL RECORD On Oct. 5, 1972, Rep. Spark M. Ma tsunaga read into the Congressional Record some remarks about the "27th Annual Memorial Services for fallen membe r,; of the' fighting loath. " Recalling WWII times, Matsunaga said, "During the early days of WWII the loyal ty of all Americans of Japanese ancestry (AJA) became suspect. Thousands were summarily incarcerated, genera t.i ng among AJA' s fee lings of outrage and frustration that the land of their birth should treat them as enemy ali~n b, rathe r than loyal Americans tha t they ac tually were. " Then, he continued, an all- Japanese uni t, the 100th Inf Bn, was formed and the AJA's were able to "prove" their loyalty. "As a veteran of the loath, I am honored and gratified to submit for the Congressional Record two articles concerning the 27th Annual Memorial Service for the men of the loath killed in 3ctio~ in Europe during World War II. "On this occasion, General Wil liam B. Rosson, commanding general, U. S. Army, Pacific, amanwho fought alongside the loath, praised the unit for its 'gallantry, unyielding patriotism, and brilliant combat record,' thus proving that they were ' Americans first, last, and always." The Honolulu Star Bulletin and 1I0n" lulu Advertiser articles covering the memorial services and Gen. Rosson's speech. were then read into the Congressional Record. General Rosson ' s speech was printed in full in the November-Decembec, 1972, issue of the Puka Puka Parade. JAPAN TOUR Interested in touring Japan again or for the first time? Plans for a Club 100 tour to Japan in October, 1974, is in the making right now and a meeting is scheduled for sometime in Februarf Be on the lookou t for a mee t ing announcement from Walter "Biffa" Moriguchi (Able) who is coordinating this tour.

14 , ~.!p~a~g~e~1~2 -lr an editorial peace: interval between wars The freedom from civil disturbances, fears, agitating passions, moral conflicts is know as peace. Peace is a state of tranquility while war is what we know it to be--a state of violence, a contest of force between nations; the antithesis of peace. We do not have to delve far into the nature of why men fight each other to come onto the Judaic story of Cain and Abel, the first two sons of Adam and Eve. Cain the farmer and Abel the sheperd both had made their offerings to the Lord but He accepted that which Abel had brought. This so angered Cain that he killed Abel. This set the pattern for man's future blood-baths. The human race was thrust in its course of an eye-for-eye and a tooth-for-a-tooth. From this beginning we come to the current cease-fire of the Vietnam war. For Americans, this conflict has claimed 46,000 KIAsandmore than 300,000 inwounded. For North and South Vietnam, the KIAs and the wounded, and the civilian casualties, must number in the millions. What a tragedy! Statistics serve only to highlight the misery caused byman's subjugation of man through killing. And ever since Cain first killed Abel, man has been cornered by this ques tion: "And the Lord said unto Cain, where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?" Wars bring forth the worst inman butwars have their counterpoints, their fascinations. Our Declaration of Independence was signed while General George Washington was fighting the British in the battle for Long Island. Betsy Ross stitched the beginnings of our national colors in the war si tua tion. The Star Spangled Banner was composed while cannons roared. Our newspapers recently carried stories of a group of women who sit in the galleries of our state legislature, praying. To what end? This is their means of expressing concern for the welfare of the legislators themselves, and of seeking the guidance of the Lord in the work of the legislature. The women are there throughout each day of the legislative session. It is a fascinating spin-off of our legislative scene suddenly come to light. One could theorize that these women, in their small way, are acting as "brother's keepers" to the legislators. Bob Krauss, Advertiser columnist, quotes Senate President David McClung as saying: "It is very good. It gives me a good feeling when I look up and see them there. I hope they don't give up."

15 page 13 by Ben Tamashiro calls itself the Hawaii Government Pray-In. It is their third year at the legislative sessions. The search for peace is universal and because of this vastness, we leave it up to governments to wrestle wi th the problem. But wars continue and peace is only an interval. This appears to be the pattern for generations to come. So until we take another tack, the implements of war will continue to dominate the needs of a great part of the generations to come, and most likely, for the rest of our lives. What seems to be needed, then, is for individuals to test their hand at this search for peace. The creation of groups such as the Hawaii Government Pray-In provide the means for individuals to get together in common cause; provide the platforms for individuals to express their feelings and their desires. We have such a platform in our own Club 100. Though the club is a product of war, its motto "For Continuing Service" is something else. There are a few things we do now and then in the name of continuing service but more could be done. And perhaps, differently, to give new life to the word service. For a start in this direction, perhaps something like this--a few guys within the club to form a group and call itself, say, the "Cain and Abel" Society. The obvious appellation would highlight the purpose of the group which would be to approach the quest for continuing service from an entirely new aspect--to make us conscious that individuals have much to contribute to the search for peace.. 0 ". d On January 28, 1973, 8 a.m. (Vietnam time), repre sentatives of the Viet Cong, North Vietnam and the United States signed the Vietnam war settlement and "peace" officially came to be in Vietnam after 12 years. As a result, thousands of American young men have begun t o return home and the Vietnamese people can try to return to a peacefu l exi s tence. This war claimed the lives of millions of Vietnamese--soldiers and civilians: men, women, children, babies--and 46,000 American G.I. ' s. For them, the war ended a l ong time ago...

Assisting him wi th their beautiful voices were Mrs. Wa taru Kaneshina, Mrs. Jack Gushiken, Mrs. Arthur Shinyana and "Jockey" Akira Ishikawa. With the singing of Whi te Christmas, memories of Camp McCoy during the winter of 1942 flashed through our minds. After that members and their families played bingo games and as it turned out, every family won something to take home as there were many prizes. Iwao Takamori and Stanley Inouye were co- chairmen for this fine party. They were ably assisted by Johnny and Lillian Miyagawa; Ralph Tamura and Jockey Ishikawa, cooks; Mrs. Miyagawa, Mrs. Takamori, Mrs. Iriguchi, Mrs. Endo, Mrs. Shimanuki and Mrs. Masao Sato, rice and other dishes.

Poor Maxie was ready to cry when he was re-elected; was it from the confidence placed in him or from having to serve another term?

25 BAKE R CHAPTER by DICK OGURO Something old was left behind when Old Man '72 made his last curtain call one minute to midnight, ~cember 31, the recap of our Family Christmas Party which can be summed up briefly, shortly and sweetly. It was awell-attended, most enjoyable affair, thanks largely to the extra effort exerted by the Family Chris tmas Commi t tee headed by Tak Azama and Al Nitta, co-chairmen. I do hope that there was no one who went home hungry. We had to scrape the turkey bones for a few late comers, attendance being more than anticipated. The winner of the air-conditioner as the prize doorprize for members only was Alan Tamura, who comes in as a long lost stranger and takes home the grand prize. B.J. Kimura's new Executive Board held its first meeting of the year in the "dungeon" of D.O.' s residence on January 16. I t was announced that Don Kuwaye was hired to be the new Execu ti ve Secre tary forclub 100. Co.ngra tula tions, Don! A safari once again this year- Molokai Safari--headed by Stan Nakamoto and assisted by Bob Sakoki', Momotaro and others. The dates for this affair, August 10, 11 and 12. What for Molokai? Primarily fishing! Maybealittle hunting--deer, goats and pigs. And, of course, sight-seeing- to the Kalaupapa Leper Settlement, for which arrangements can be made. While you ' re on Molokai at least you have to see the place where Father Damien built his settlement, as well page 23 as go look for the Male and Female rocks among other scenic attractions that abound on Molokai. So, make up your minds and see Stan the air-condi tion man or Bob Sakoki or Medcaresan for more particulars. Want to get your fishing gear ready for this outing? See Stan pronto. Good deal! Prior to August of '73 will be the 1973 Nisei Veterans Reunion- June 25 through July 5, 1973, here in Hawaii! There are two open dates with which we should be concerned- Sunday, July 1 and Tuesday, July 3, both evening affairs. The Bn will take over the Sunday Chapter Night affair and host the entire Club 100 contingent from the mainland. But for the Tuesday night free night activity, I have a feeling that Baker Chapter will be providing the activity for the 100 plus delegates and their families of the Club 100 Kotonks! So it is incumbent upon us that we undertake a benefit sale project of some kind and pronto, inorder to avoid having to ask you to dig down deep into your pockets for the needed contributions. Tour cost of the Neighbor Islands Package deal is approximately $200. At that price maybe some of us should accompany the gang on their Neighbor Island "pilgramage."
