people look around for people to do important jobs, they do not look toward the idle, or the fellow with time on his hands. The idle fellow is just that because he never accomplishes anything. So the important jobs always go to the busy fellow - and you can almost bet your bottom dollar that this busy guy will do the job right.

So it is to the busy fellow that this editorial is being pointed at. How about some community service in the name of Club 100. What is it that the Club 100 lacks in picking itself up by the proverbial bootstraps and contributing its manpower and re­sources towards a caomplishing some good for this wonderful com­munity of ours. If we keep on going the wB(! we are now, or to put it the other w~ ~ not doing a thing ~ then our motto simply be­comes another "pie in the sky 0 II Hoping that some of you may have followed us this far, may we offer some suggestions.

Let IS stal't off wi th moti vat!. on . Okay. So you w ant motiva­tion. Well, here's one for the Board of Dir ectors . Why not estab­lish an annual prize of, letts say $200, to be given to the chapter which has done the most in community service in the name of Club lOa . The chapters could enrich th3ir investments by this $200, or tbey could blO'..-f themselves to !l big kaukau. The Board could estab­lish some manageable guidelines for this annual competition.

Now for the chapters. You don1t necessarily have to wait for the Board of Directors to provide t hat motivation, since Board actiuns usnally ceme painfully slow. From among the many social and welfare agencies that keep crying for help, why not "adopt" one of these agencies. So to the chapter presidents - Genichi Masumo­toya from Medics, Toshio Kunimura of Headquarters, John Kihara of Rural, Ken Okamoto, of Able, Bob Sakoki of Baker, Donald KU\1fl,Y0 of Charlie, md Martin Tohara of Dog, and to the presidents of the outside island chapters} Jack Gushikell from Maui No Ka Oi, Charlie Brenamen from the Big Isle, and Muggsy Morikawa from the Garden Isle - why not pay a visit to these agencies and start the ball rolling •

Just imagine the go ad that could come out of corrmuni ty service of this kind. Certainly, the appreciation from those whom you are

And not to d is count the distaf f member s , t his message i s al so di rected to Janet Kmvaye , Chai rman of the Auxiliary. Perhaps , you women can l ead the vay, as you've demonstrated so often in the past.

A MONTH AGO, one of the promi­nent Bake rite as well a s the WATERCRESS KING of Pearl City j ROY NAKATANI, held one such celebration at Waikiki Lau Yee Chai.

During the dews of too campaign in southern France, an ambulance squad made up of non-IOOth per­sennel, was attacood to the Battalion Aid Station . Toore came a day woon a litter squad led by Captain Kometani return­ed fran a trip up front. I was si tting outside the station door.

A harried-looking G.l . , a parti­cipant in the evacuation action, flicked his thumb in the direc­tion Doc had gone and asked, "ls he really a dentist?"

lIyou mean he can stay back in the rear area fooling arourrl vii th teeth and he comes up here?1I

"l"rell, there're not too many teeth in a battalion, and I figger the Captain gets tired of polishing bicuspids, so he :is up here to be useful."

"Man, oh man, tI too Gel. groans, "I gotta be with a g uy vmo doesn't have to be here. Arrl worse, I gotta go wit h him."

FOR CONTINUING SERVI~E

JAMES LOVEll WAS THE PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT OUR AmUAL INSTALLA­TION BANQUET AT T HE CLUBHOUSE ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY ' 5th. FOLLOO NG IS III S ADDRESS:

As I was asked to sreak on our motto "For Continuing Service" I would first like to talk about this motto and what it means . Certainly the implication is that some service was performed in the pa.st and to just review for a moment, they would be service to state and country, fellow man, as performed during training and throughout the war.

Now where do we go from here? Perhaps many of you have asked this question or have even a sked, "How do I perform this service?lt

I would like to give you II\Y thinking on ways that would cer­tainly be means for each of us to develop into ",hat I would like to call a senior citizen and your continuing service would form in the patent.

Such a business statemans or senior citizen, for example, "13.S

Benjamin Franklin vlho has been called the apostle of private enter­prtse. He believed that success carried with it the obligation to help those who were less formnate through no fault of their ovm. In this belief, he founded Ameri.ca I s first fire insurance company and. first public hospital, advocated life insurance to care for widows, suggested c rep insuran ce for farmers by draught , hurricane and stonn, old age pensions, and public service as a public duty. His was the finest type of individual responsibility to his fellow man. There are many others through t re years up to modern times, men who put citizenship ani country before personal interest . The first place you may think of in serving is in a religious "laY. More ani more iss aid about t te s piri tual awakening in America. For years our coins have said "In God We Trust." Our pledge of alle­giance speaks of this nation "Under God." Our mail cancellations now ask "Pray for Peace." We open every gathering ,'lith an invoca­tion. Whether openly admitted or not, it must be of interest that religious principles do guide our day-to-day actions. SOIre of our problems or the decisions eased through consort wi th God. Eisen­hower on D-Day s aid, "I I va done II\Y best--take over God." Cer­tainly too churches of our choice can use our services as a layman, officer, trustee, councilman or vestryman, as a teacher, committee­man or just an attendant at service. Our ultimate good to humanity

in our everyday work is tantamount to serving God . We vlelcorred God anda:;ked for him during battle . We should serve him now.

Secondly, h01'1 can you serve in education or schools? What are you doing to help determine the curri culum; are you s erving as a member of your P.T.A. to assure that your children have the best facili ties and equipment that can be made available? Have you volunteered to be a sponsor or chaperone for a school function? Have you taught your child the necessity more than ever today that education plays in his or her future and most important that tee system of automatic promotion in school does not carry on through life. By serving your school~ you serve your family and children, your conmunity and actually yourself.

Next I would like to talk about your community service and here there are many facets and certainly at lea.st one into which you can fit. Are you a member of a political par~r working for the best government that we can have in city, state or country 0 Do you offer yourself as a candidate for public office to serve the people? Are you a member of your canmunity association, or do you offer your services to such annual drives as Red Cross, Heart Fund, Can­cer Fund, hospital fund drives or any of the other countless many. Teere are many service clubs anxiously looking for your membership help. Some of these are Lions, Kiwanis, Rotary, but do not be a joiner, be a doer, for these clubs all perform a real community service.

The fourth and last way of serving I want to mention is that of serving yourself and family. You have an obligation to provide a home and living for your family and to see that your children have the best education that you can provide. In order to serve them best, you must maintain your health, take your annual physical, purchase insurance, try to improve your job performance to have more take-home pay for your family and, as for yourself, you must have recreation ani relaxation; take the opportunity to make the warm friendships of others plus the good fellowship of your own Club 100 membership. This service you owe yourself to en joy the fullest life p ossible.

I have tried to answer a question for you as to how you can carry out our motto. The re are many challenges for all of us. I subscribe to the idea of beccming a senior ci tizen ani I recommend

IN MEMORIAM - MRS. MIYOKO KANEKO

ItLife is real, life is earnest, And tre grave is not it's goal. Dust thou art, to dust retumest Was not spoken of the Soul. "" Psalm of Life

IN THE YEAR 1956, plans to form a Club 100 Ladies' Auxiliary were discussed at a special meeting called by Mrs. Fusano Yoshimasu . At that first meeting, I met a number of ladies but tha re is ore person ,.mo stands out in my me­mory. She was Mrs. Miyoko Kaneko, wife of Noboru Kaneko of Baker Company.

DUro: NG THE SOCIAL HOUR whi ch follrn-red the meeting, I learned that HI'S. Kaneko had just recu­perated from a heart conii tion and had been advis ed by her phy~ician to "take it easy. 11

Her reason for being present at the meeting? She wanted to get ar::qucd.nted with the ladies of Club 100 and later help organize workshops to teach the ladies how to create things.

II TIUS WOMAN OF VlANY TAlENTS had gained much recognition among the University Extension Service

!clubs for her ingenuity to create ltbings, and here she was ready to share her talents with the ladies of Club 100 . This she later did, and as long as her health permitted, Mrs. Kaneko gave of her time unselfishly to teach tre ladi es craftwork .

H. W. Longfellow

MRS. KANEKO was a soft-spoken woman with a he art jus t as so ft for sre had a great love for people and a desire to help trem with treir problems. This she did, in spite of her om fra­gile physical conii tion.

HER HANDS \vel'e e nd01'fed by the Creator. She couJd take scraps of material and make useful items out of them. Patchwork quilts, cutting out motifs in different pat terns and se"dng them on to table cloths, nap­kins, yo-yo dolls •• athese are but a few of tha things she made by utilizing scraps of materials; pieces of materiam I would ordinari~ throw awcry.

SHE WAS ALSO a lover of t he cuJinaxy art . I remember her saying she enjoyed preproing attractive and nutritive meals and because she had no family to feed, she W) uld take them over to her neighbors. Her baked goods were out of this world and that hltter cake of hers would simply melt in your mouth 1

, time rut it won't be the last. Looks as though Tony has a per-­manent job at our annual stags. First tiIre in many a moon at our stag party was Tadao Ibaraki and Richard Oki. Special gue st of the evening was Shigeru Inouye , Premdent of Club 100. JCilles Lovell couldn it make it due to a prior commitment. Also present were Ken Mitsunaga. (D) , Monzook Okazaki (HQ) ~ Yozo Yamamoto (B), ani a few others.

Chairman Seian Hokama says that this was his last time~ but I wonder. He claims tha. t Frank Ikehara has already made over­tures for the position for next year. Members who assisted Seian are Blue Nagasaki3 Richard Ishimoto, Ginko Yamane~ Tak Yamane, Sam Hanashiro, Yoshio Saito, l'iallace Ichiyama3 Koei NakamaejOj> and Tadao Ibaraki.

Feature of the program for the evening was two Tokyo lovelies from Club Hubba Hubba, a singer and a dancer. Anotrer feature was the lucky number conducted by Wally Ichiyama. Wally

slinging his Hawaiian/Japanese lingo wi th such words as Rawaii­no-echi-ketto brings out one point-~any hidden talents. Another talent who bears watch­ing is Yoshio Saito with his roundhouse clapping and tea­house-type singing.

As usual, after consuming a case of whiskey and seven cases of Rainier~ members had to be ushered out for t he evening. Somewhere along the line the nightcappers got tre signals all crossed up. Loyal Seian patronized Hubba Hubba and couldn't , .. ait for the others~ but met Paul Shirai and Richard Miyashiro walking in while walking out. Chicken Hirayama and this wl"'i ter couldn' t finish one short night cap at Ginza, and saw Bra Nanbara trying to hold up a parki~ meter or some­thi..ng as we called it quits. Heard that some ended up at Ka­pahulu Tavern 3 and the Pearl City Paisans of all people ended up at the Oasis . Chauf­feur Hard Roale Suyama had a long night wai ti..ng~ he being a straight soda water man. Goro Sumida couldn't figure out·hm .. the party got over so fast as he woke up at hOIre 0 Resul ts of the softball game t re following day indicates that it ain1t what it used to be--heavy feet plus Slovl minds.

Our condolence this month goes to Koichi Fukuda j whose father passed away on March 6.
