The Mihashi-Otsu Show ooou pied our energies tor the good part or January and February.

We didn't make a hell ot a lot or money on this deal--but all in all it can be considared that it was a sucoessfUl project the purpose tor Which this pro ject was sponsored was realized.

And tor those ot us who had worked olosely with this pro­jeot trom inoeption to the end, there will be "sweet am sour" m.mories that will linger with us for a long, long, time.

00000000 • I cannot help but mse at

length on the B-R-Q-A-D MEMBERSHIP question.

With a potential of 1500-­~nly 600 are paid-up members-­!Uli out of the paid up ~mbers, approximate! y 200 are ACTIVE, PARTIGI:PATING members who are ~arrying the load on EVERYTHING.

What are tre reasons for ~h1s appalling condition? This Ls not normal, is it?

I \'Duld apprec1a te your lIl'ite-ins regarding this ~uestion. A bigger, active ~articipating membership will ~ase the load considerably--~ or sure! AS WElL PS MAKE FOR HOGER Am lETTER ACTIVI TIES!

Chairman Bob has also start­ed tre prelim1narie s for the LOANS. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we will have a bid that comes up to the expectation of the committee. This apart­Dent building is a definite reali ty in 1959. LOOKING RR AN APARTMENT? WELL--KEEP lOOKING until THE !CAMOKU is finished. SORRY, I can't tell you tha t reservations art;: being accepted as of now.

0000000000

In connection with this project, the question of LIFE MEMBERSHIP has been put f~ again. 500 life membersh ips at $100. per LIFE MEMBERSHIP, would be $50,000 which could be plunked into the cost of the a:partment--thus lessening the amount to be borrowed.

fut with only 500 or so act i ve memb ers right now--how will the :yearly operations be taken care of, if all became life members???

00000000 And in closing up this big

mouthed column for 1958, I would like to pay tribute to the faith­ful memb er s of the !\tka ruka Parade who have been putting out the :paper physically: Bob Sato, Mikio Tamane, Baa nnada, FralXl es Okazaki, Bob Sakoki, Claude

WOltEN'S AUXILIARY m VB By Janet

As we cone to the end of the year, let us p use far a few moments to count our blessings, review our accomplishments, meditate upon our unfinished business, and finally, to plan for the New Year.

In reviewing our accomplish­ments for the year, a number of things stand out. Foremost in my mind is the epir1 t of loyalty, teamwork, and devotion to conti­nue the auxiliary whatever the cost, by the ladies of the Club 100. With such undying spirit, the Auxiliary can look forward to greater aocomplishments in the year ahead.

The year has been a rough one~ We have had our difference of opinions, heated discussions around the aonferellC e table, but through it all we have energed still friends, perhaps a little wider, but best of all united in our thoughts of continuing tm auxiliary and vuorking to­wards a bigger and stronger or­ganization in 1959. It is truly gratifying to see so many of the lad:1e s gi vi~ eo generously or the spiritual qualit:1es v.hich no

organization can do without. May this spirit always be pre­valent among our membership!

The Officers of the Auxiliary join me in extendins to all of you a very I4er;ry . Ohristmas and car loads of BEST WISHES for a VERY HAPPY .AID PROSFEROUS NEW YEAR~

---000--- ---000--­(Continued from page 13) P.l.ant Club News: storm hampered ors, this :year'. had all the elements in its favor.

Publicity had been exoel­lent--but tm story back of th1. is--Frances Okazaki's SOS to Noboru Furuya who rooe g allant­ly to too occasion and pl ugged the affair for all its worth-­on his own J apane se TV program!

CAN'T MIS'3 WITH A COMBINA­TION LIKE '1H T!

'!'he crowd W.J.S steady throughout the day and tmy alit dished out plenty far plants ot all kinds.

Of course, to "leechers" like us, the best part of the ~ was the free lunch offered to .!

Lunch consisted of s tew ri ce. BACJ\LIAIJ and othe r t rim­mings, made by the wives of members of the plant club.

OF COURSE, ANY lIm:MBER CAN JOIN TEE CLUB 100 GREEN THUJamaS PLANT CLUB!

To top it off, stew riol was had again, for an early dinner, by the many who sta,.ci to the end to clean up the Clubhouse.

Next year's promises to ... bigger and better???
