WARREN IWAI ELECTED TO HEAD ONE PUKA PUKA

Warren Iwsi, Club 100 tressurer for the year 1950-51, is the elected president of our organization for the coming fiscal year. The new prexy, who succeeds Allan uhata is employed ss a field agent with the u. S. In­ternel Revenue. Having recently tied the knot with the fomer Miss Betty F. Saito, Warren assumes his family and The Chair re­sponsibilities with added confidence and beaucoup vigor. Well versed in all Club 100 activities through his close association with all projects of our organization, our membership can look forward to sn active and prosperous year under his capable guidance.

The 1st vice president's duties fall upon the shoulder of Howard t~ iyake. A former field corrmissioned officer from Able Company and a graduete of the University of Hawaii, Howard's fine background and analytical pow­ers are definite assets to the club.

(Howard Miyake recently departed for the mainland to attend the University of Colorado. The Board of Directors has ap­pointed Ben G. Takayesu, who polled the next highest number of votes to the post. Ben, a former Charlie Company Tech. Sergeant, is a practiCing attorney in the Grossman Aloody Building. The genial Charlie-ite's appoint­ment is being hailed from all sources.)

Out from the ranks of our Medics Chap­ter comes our 2nd vice president, Dr. Richard Kainuma. A heavy schedule of appointments with patients and hospital calls preclude Doc's full participation in club affairs, but his sage advice from time to time will prove invaluable.

Married not too long, rut granted passes frequently to attend Board meetings by his good Wife, Yutaka Suzuki patiently jots down the minutes of conferences in our corpora­tion minutes book. Trained highly for the secretaryship, Yutaka bounds with enthusiasm for all affairs.

Wilfred Shobu (Rq.) works out Schofield way in the Army Finance section. Handling the treasury watch dog position of our orga­nization, therefore, comes to him without too much strain.

In one of his first acts ~s preside~t, (Con,'d on pg. 2)

is survi ve';-d ~by~a~mo~t~he-r-cu-r-re-n~tly residing in J apan and three other brothers.

Time and occurrences have whizzed by with seemingly super speed since the One Puka Puka outfit was formed, and here we stand on the threshold of our decade mile­stone.

Dr. Katsumi Kometani, often referred to as the Father of Club 100, has been ap­propriately named as chairman of our lOth anniversery committee. Thus, the gears are being well oiled to start the machinery working towards a gilt-edged observance of the elite variety. As affable "Doc" steps to the helm, he is confronted with a pro­ject which requires the wholehearted support of each and everyone of us. As in e factory producing at maximum efficiency, many of us will be askad to function overtime as the gesrs revolve towerd a grand and memorable affair.

While minute details have not as yet been mapped out, it is appropriate for us at this time to focus our sights toward the observance. At our last annual convention Honolulu was selected as the site for the event.

uutside island members should initiate saving plans to provide for transportation costs to the gsthering. Members residing on Oahu should in turn arrange for vacations as soon as the dates are announced to pro­vide time to take care of incoming paisans and their families. Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai Chapter personnel have shown the way with their super-duper hospitality on the occa­sion of visits by Oahu members.

Inter-island competition in athletics, sight-seeing tours, the annual convention, etc., crowned by a grand banquet in our own clubhouse (if erected by then) are some of the suggested activities for the jamboreo. Any member with suggestions and ideas to impr ove the affair is invited to present same to Dr. Kometani or to the clubhouse headquarters. Any and all presentations will be given sympathetic consideration.

~ake it a point to keep yourself posted on the chain of events to follow. Under the capable guiding hand of our beloved "Doc", they're bound to start popping soon.

WARREN IWAI (Cont'd 'rom pg. J)

Warren lwai has appointed the following as chairmen of the various standing committees: Membership and Dues, Eugene KaWakami (A) ' Building, James Lovell (Hq.); l:utual ASS ist~ ance, James Tani (B); l :utual Loan Fund Fred Kanemura (B) ; Athletics, Takeshi KimU~a(C)' Program, Andrew Okamura lHq.}; Investment: I:tirotoshi Xamar,oto lA); Project, Nobuo Toku­naga (C); 10th Anniversary, Dr. Katsumi Ko­metani, (Med) i and representatives to the A.J.A.

ANNUAL MEMORIAL SERVICE HELD AT NATIONAL MEMORIAL CEMETERY

The annual memorial service sponsored by Club 100 and the Military intelligence Linguist Club was held Sunday, September 30th at the National Memorial Cemetery.

Col. )tarrant L. '!urner, grand "old man" of the 100th, delivered the principal ad­dress. He cautioned th~ hundreds of people present not to forget the ideals for which the befallen have so nobly sacrificed.

"I urge you to prepare yourselves dur­ing the days of peace--when those days come-­to war against any enemy within our country, to preserve that for which you fought in the mud, snOw and hills of Italy and France." He further stated, "This is our opportunity, our responsibility as peace time soldiers, and is the soleno obligation we owe to our friends who sleep so quietly under this beau~iful green carpet of Puuowaina, these friends to whom we owe so much."

Col. Turner was in high praise of vet­erans' participation in community and gov­ernmental affairs.

"We have an obligetion that goes with our privileges, and that is the individual and collective obligation to interest our­selves in community affai~s, in politics • This you are doing. The interest you are showing in government has resulted in what 1 believe to be as well informed an electorate as exists in our nation.

FROM THE MAILBAG Dear Friends:

This is to let you know that the Yosts are re-settled at: 14 FUlton Street, Phil­lipsburg, New Jersey. I was called as the pastor of St. John's Lutheran, Phillipsburg, N. J. This is a small church (smaller than either of the two in the Tower City Perish); however, the church council is aware of my attitudss and we expect to get along all right.

We are thankful that all of us have been well during this period--Peggy and the four youngest were with her folks in Cris~ field, Maryland (and I visited them when I could); Monica was with my brother Robert in Lewes, Delaware; Christian and I were with my sister in Tamaqua. Florida.

We are grateful for the encouraging letters we have received from friends. Since each week I had hopes that the next Sunday would bring something definite I refrained from answering your kind letters. Had I known how things would have dragged out I would have answered you individually.

Coma to visit us when you can. The parsonage is large enough for overnight guests, even atter we receive our D. P. family (a widow and two children) who are expected in the near future.

With kindest regards to the One Puka Puka.

The Club 100:

Yours sincerely, Chaplain Yoet

I write this letter to express my deep­est appreciation and gratitude to the ~ne­roaity and thoughtfulness shown by you upon the passing of my dear mother.

I was deeply touched when told by the family of the beautiful floral tribute made to my mother. It was a gesture thet I will always rememDer.

This is indeed a great honor and words alone are not adsquate to express my appre­ciation. 1 do not wish to indulgs in any appraisal of what little I have endeavored to do in the way of community service, but as a veteran myself, although of another war, 1 have always had the best interests and welfare at heart of those who have served in the armed forces.

l'leasa be assured that I shall continue, publicly and privately, to participate in all activities conducive to the advancement and achievement of the objectives of the organization of which ~ am now an honorary member.

1n the course of your activities, please feel free to call upon me for such service as you may care to assign to me.
