By Kay Hi ronaka

This past month has not been very eventful except for the arrival of the visiting Japan High School All-Star baseball team ... /hieh walloped the local Southland All stara, 11 to 0 at York Field, in Whittier. As reported by Joe Hironaka, this

team from Japan, especially the pitcher, showed tremendous style and spirit and what made this exhibition ~o impressive was the fact that these boys had been travelling for hours on the jet from Brazil after a \,thirhdnd series of games, landed at the L.A. Airport, were whisked off to Disneyland for an afternoon of fun, grabbed a bite to eat, played the game at 5:00 P.M. and vlere off for Japan later t he same evening. Hmfls that for energy 8.'1d vitality 1 Fu.rtmrmore, none of them seemed to be the \"lorse off for it . Oh, to be young again 1 The 442nd members in charge certainly deserve an a;'lard of some khld for their efforts in playing host to these boys in vie~'1 of t he hass l es incurred due to changes in scheduleE; alld 'Ilhat-nots .

This is a belated thank you to Larry Hironaka of Hilo who presented our chapter ,·,ith a beautiful gavel made of milo which is said to be a very strong and lovely wood. "fe might add that this gave ";,:la hand made by a parolee, (as you probably Imot-l, Larry is a parole (lfficar) and one can see that it is a lovely piece of vrorkmanship. ,Tust thought this bit of infonnation t'lould be of interest.

Your \'l!'iter just r eturned from a week ' s visit to Montery and San Francisco where \ve made like tourists Eieeing t he sights and enjoying t he fresh air and 10"vely ~1eather. Torn and Ruth Kasal. and Ken and Aileen Yoshil'1o and family ~'lere also in the same area recently.

On September 24, the monthly meeting of the Booklet Committee was helet at the 442 Clubhouse. Attending were lOoth members Joe Hironaka, Aki (lirs .

HEADQUARTERS CHAPTER NEIlS

By Tom Nosse

Our official reporter, Ken Otagaki, is unable to keep up with his duty . Someone men­tioned at our family night that Otagakis are spending t heir 25th \-/edding anniversary on the East Coast. It is not clear whether the trip wasl on business, pleasu re, or combination. of both.

At any rate J \";hil~ they are busy honeymooning, come one had to carry the ball . The job of reporting the Headquarters Nells v,as unanimous­ly passed on to tlnot too busy!! Tom Nosse . Hope the ctagakis don 't stay on a perpetual honeymoon. Through kindness anj g enerosi ty of Kajika\'Tas, the Septenber r,leeting of Headquarters chapter \'las held at Kaji 1s residence. For most of us it 'lt/a 5n l t easy to find the place. The firenw.n., Harry Yamashita, had t he hardest time . Afte r wondering around f or a ... /hile , Barry finally called from a nearby home to get his direction. (/hen he finally arrived, he claimed Kaji has moved from his original l ocation. Someone said, "~be the mountain has moved but not Kaj i. Thanlc goodness there was no fire." For I.farshall Biga, it \"las ver:r convenient- just over the Nuuanu Pill.... To Shimogaki and the rest of the Aina Haina group needed to travel to the other end of the City , rut \te all enjoyed the hospitality of the Kajika\-las . Wally Teruya, Elmo Okido , and Charles l-fiyashiro were the early ones to leave at 10: 15. But I heard at our f amil y night that they didn 1 t reach home until aft er midnight . Harold Tamashiro and his group had their breakfast on their \-/ay- home . The late arrival at Kajis was Ken Saruwatari, after the boxing around 1l:15. To bad we didn lt have a chance to hear about his recent "honeymoon trip" to Hong Kong. Tpe members of Headquarters Chapter certainly enjoyed the evening . Ruth and Kaji Jrnlst have \·lOrked hard preparing the delicious dishes . Not only working , entertaining , and cleaning- up for us , Ruth & Kaji had t o go to work the next morning . ~'le again say "thank you II to the Kajis .

Ou r f amily night uas he l d on September 21, and Toshio Kunimura was the chaiman . Arthur Tamashiro \-nl S early at the clubhouse chop- i

pine vegetabl es , and even prepared lunch for the cooks. Calvin Shi- !. mogaki was busy setting up the field range and cooting trip e stew.

Major Paul L. Kern, qorr~anding Officer of Kilauea Military Camp, was the featured speaker at our annual Club 100 memorial services on the anniversary of our first day in combat in World War II. Said he:

tributions to your countT"J both during and after the war are without equal. As a Texan I'm personally indebted to you who were members or vrhose relatives vrere members of the One Hundred. In October 1944 it vras you i·rho 1'lere responsible for rescuing many of my compatriots and fellow Texans, the 1st Battalion of the 141st Infantry Division, know­ing that as a result of your action you were made honorary Texans •

. After traveling thousands of miles from my place of birth I still feel right at home. II

"All too often amid our thoughts of picnics, fishing trips, vol­canic eruptions and trips to the beaches or mountains the real meaning of your Hernorial Day is lost. In my remarks today I intend to consi­der that meaning and the message it brings to each of us ••••••• "

" .•••• for more than h'lo decades this !<1emorial Day has been set aside to honor the Lf:lny Americans ,'lho served ,·Ii th the lOOth Battalion during the Seconci \forld l;Jar and sacrificed their lives on the field of battle.

"

" ••••• today as we pla ce flovlers on their graves and praise their deeds we realize we cannot discharge our obligations to these men with merewo:rUs of homage. They did not die for vrreaths and "lords, they died for the simple right of Americans to enjoy freedom. These men believed in the American Hay of life. They believed in the right of man and life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They v/ere born vn.th faith and t!ley have kept that faith. It is now our turn to keep faith 1'lith them •••••• 11

Ivlembers who gave up a day of golfing or listening to t he Giants ball game to pay homage to their fallen comrades were: Ernest Eno­moto, Susumu Hata, Hayato Tanaka, LarT"J Kodama, Toshio Fukuda, Shige -ru Ito, George Taketa, Sadatoshi l<Iiyazono, Larry Tanimoto, Buck Shi­mabukuro, Spider Yahata, Larry Hirokawa, Sei toku Akamine, Takao Hiyao, Shigeru Ushijima, Stanley Ushijima, Karunobu Yamamoto, Porky Furuya, Kazuma Taguchi, Hideo Kami, Yasuo Iwasaki, Eugene Eguchi, Hotoyoshi Tanaka, Tarush Yamamoto, Roger Kawasaki, Horris Kihara, Kazuo Kawaoka, and Tilalter Kadota.

Include in that list Charlie Brenamen who came dressed to give the invocation but did not feel up to it and had t 0 make a fast fade­away. Also Mrs. Blue Kunishi who from far away Washington sent a sizable contribution with stipulation t hat the boys drink up on her as though Blue was still around. (continued on page 9)

HAWAII CHAPTER NEWS (continued from page 8) On second thought this idea of listing names is not such a hot

idea for the follmving reasons ~ a. We cantt make it for the t ri-club stag affair at the AJA

Veterans Clubhouse; b. \ve want to avoid a confrontation vii th Tom Kadota and the

other money changers who have to mind the till and canlt find the time to take in even an adult movie;

c. ~\h may be giving credit to the wrong Ed Harada or Jimmy Maeda.

HEADQUARTERS CHAPTER NF~S (continued from page 6)

We had plenty to eat plus left overs. Kunimura vlaS very popular with the ladies for his generous give allTays. He should be chairman more often to please the ladies.

We are very fortunate to have Kuni, his vrife Sadalco, and her sis­ter Ethel Hichimoto. Every year thE'Y c.ecorate the graves of Head­quarter chapter Idas, etc., in the morning of our annual memorial service. They knovl the location of the graves by heart. It a difficult job unless you are used to it. Kaji, Rut.h, and Richard Hamada were there to assist by carrying l,"later am. flovrers.
