16TH .ANNIVERSARY LUAU TRI1LY MAGNIFICENT! The 17th Anniversary Luau--will it be a s good as the 16th,

just gone down into our history books, as the greatest?? To the 700 lllEIIlbers» guests and next-of-kins who were able to

attend the 16th Anniversary luau of Club 100 held a t the Iolani School gym on saturday, June 14, from 5: 30 P. M. to ____ 1 the 16th Anniversary Luau was too best ever .

The setting was serene, peaceful, am lovely, teming to lull everyone into a happy, carefree spirit .

Coconut leaves, torch ginge~,ti-leaves, creapitg Vines , heli­conias, etc. , all blending very nicely, made the stage and table settings harmonious with the spirit of the evening .

The food was excell EIlt from Kalua Pig to Haupia, and one could eat to his heart's content .

And in tm field of enter­tainnent, this was the first An­niversary Luau, to my recollect­ion that, NO ONE left until the final entertainment number had been concluded.

Of course, we got a little short-changed by Bill "the Knee" Pacm co and his troupe who per­formed for half-an-hour only in­stead of too verbally agree up on one full hour.

However, even the half-hour of "fine" entertainment by the profession«r 'troupe from Cherry­blossom landheld all of us spell bound. (rut the males doubly so!)

Then the Club's All l4ale Chorus finished up the entertain­ment portion with beautiful vocal nrusic present ed in fine style--

MEXICO. LAND OF ENCHA.N'I1rENT (Feature----By Bob Sato)

l4EXI CO, HERE WE COME! We crossed the border after

a rather harrowing experience wi th lIexican border officials. Then came my first picture of the lIexicans--lounging aroWld the streets in faded khakis and the proTerb1al blankets. The girls in general are sloe-eyed and-­primitively pretty. THIS WAS MY FIRST ImRE3SION OF l4EXICO .

The country from the border t o the city of Monterray, 160 miles distance, is rugged waste land of lIII.tted rock and sp;lrsel y grown cactus. The weather was "arm, but not extre1l81y hot. As a matter of fact , the weather was gocXl. all the way into Mexico City. In Monterray, I saw my first really beautiful Mexican girl I had heard so much about. In all sincerity, these girls are tm loveliest in the world . I am not going to describe her, but to give you a brief idea, she could win "Home-Coming Queen" at tm University of Hawaii with both hands down.

In the mountains we fown the Indi ans of Mexico. They are short of stature and have a dark copper complexion. They are about as advance as the white man of fifteenth century. Their

-2-

worldly possess ions are a bUrro I a woman and several half-naked children. Uncivilized and il11 terate, they sean happy.

Mexico City--this city has been compared favorably with Paris. Architecturally t't is much more impressive. Some of the buildings are fabulous. One thing they have in connnon are hordes and hordes of beautitu1 girls. And what is most im- ' portant, they are friendly. The city is situated in the midst of the mountains and that could account for the invigora­t ing and exhilarating CDndition. I don't know whether I was just plain lucky or subconsciously f arsighted. At any rate, the decision to came to Mexico was t he most intelligent one I ever made.

Politics are forgotten. Money is something foreign. So much for the philosophy.

Luau was the lack of a "Keynote Speaker". No long wiDled speaker to listen to.

No doubt, many members must have made the most of this memo­rable evening and gone back to see a repeat performance!

Dear Mr. Oguro :

Through the medium of our newsy hous e organ, please permit us 1,0 thank you and the entire membership most sincerely for all the heart, warming support and active kokua extended to us during the ::'ecent OFERATION RODNEY dri ve.

Your individual and co lle cti ve help from all parts of the ~rerri tory of Hawaii enabled our son to be examined by a Pinel of the lIlOSt competent heart spe cialists. The very best of Imdical atten­tion and other fine occurrences haproning on the trl p could not huve been possible at all without your timely and unselfish aid. We re­gl'et very much that you were not there to vii. tness his smiling face liS he toured fabulous Disneyland and enjoyed his first train ride.

We will shortly deposit with tha club headquarters all monies \nich remained unspent from the mainland visit. This arrangenant, we sincerely hope, will JOOet ·with your approval as Rodney has been advised to return to the mainlani agliin in two years f or another re-examination.

We are indeed fortumte to have been bestowed your kindness of ll18.lly, many sorts. To have your W3I' time blddies voluntarily recognizir.g your plight and lendi~ you a firm helping hand makes you re-live the experiences shared on the battlefields of Europe. One can not fully appreciate the value and extent of our mutual as sis tanc e program until he has benefitted from it. The fact that ~!O pints of blooi were made available for Rodney's operati on from the Club 100 reserve in itself speaks well of the extent nade available to dis tressed members.

We are grateful to Chairman John Sakaki, members of his lhtual Assistance Committee and the various IslaIJi Chapter Chairmen who carried the ball on our behalf.

Rodney joins us in thanking you OD:l ani all from the very bottom of all of our hearts.

FRal4 THE ED ITOR I S DN3K Got to talking with an out

and out 44200 man--a member of the Board of Directors of the 442nd Club for nigh 12 years.

And naturally the sub je ct tinally got aroUlll to the MER­GER proposal that has been tossed arounl "since time immemori al. 11 •

l4y ears were bulgeoned with facts and figures--from the 442nd point of view--l1directly from the horse I s mouth", so to speak.

Do you members know that as far back as 1943 when we were s till a t the old Nuuanu school site that a joint meet­ing of the Board of Directors of both clubs, the 442nd and the Club 100 met and voted upon the Q!,lesti on of Merger. Ari1 that the final vote was 6a{o in favor of a merger????? How­ever, the Club 100 Board re­considered the nntter later a.n:i stated that they would go alo~ wi t h merger had the vote been a whopping 80% in favor! (I 'WOnder what rules of parliamen­tary procedure was used-­Possibly a makeshift one? Were the members (gene ral. membership, that is) notified?

Since 1953 it has been in the By-Laws of t 'he 442nd Club that--anytime Club 100 wi. shed to discuss I1Brger--a committee

stands ready to talk business! The 442nd made the over­

'tures formerly. Now, isnlt it about time we, big brothe rs, did something more concrete than appoint a l1paper" committee to look into the "possibil1 ty of merger" jOintly" Q,UO VAnIS?

further enlightning information. Did you members lmow that Club 100 originated the AJA council to coordinate the activities of ull Nisei Veteran Clubs, am vrhich to date hasn't got any teeth, nor status?

Also, that the AJA Invita­tional Softball League was Fath­ered by Club 100! But that-we­pulled out of this league--the first and only one--because the entry fee was too high--because ue couldn't put up a team (s) that could nntch the youth ani yersatility of the younger 442nd outfit--when one of the prime objectives was for fellowship and not glory???

Then to top it all and de­liver the "Coup de grace11--tm 44200 was not invited to enter the Club 100 1411 softball league at the same time invitations were sent out to the Engineers and the .MIS groups t w,) years runniIJg on the grounds that they were "too good for us! "

CHARM COURSE HIGHLIGHl'S By Janet Kuwaye

"Goo:1 morning, my, charming wife t " This is t M kim of greeting same of the ladies are recei ving since enrolling in the "Charm Course" under Mrs. Dolores Sabalos--which began on the 15th of May.

What's the secret? Well, ladies, it's really many little things combined together that oontribute towards making a cha rming WOJllaIl.

Let's begin from the top of your head. Your hair, for in­stance. Are you using your hair brush daily for necessary stimu­lation, circulation, and lustre? Do you shampoo as often as neces­sary ani use a rinse for added lustre and manageability? Does your hai r style suit your age and personality, and is it one that you can manage?

What is your skin cond i ti on'? Normal, dry, oily, or combina­tion? Regardless of the condi­tion, soap $ould be used on your face and neck only once a day, preferably at night.

Your ma,ke up, of course, plays a big part in the picture you present to others. Being confident that you have the pro­per make up on puts you at ease. Beauty of the actress,Elizabeth 'raylor is rare, but we can all

look nice with a little effort. Are your nails clean, filed

and neatly polished? Cuticules a.ttended to?

Then there is the battle of the bulges! Are you attacking them conscientiously? There is not ne ad to be skinny Ell d scrawny or pleasingly plump all your lit!)l You can have the figure you desire by watching your diet ani exercising, and exercising can be fun when you have a goal to attain.

Superfluous hair should be l'enoved from your legs as often as nocessary. Attractive hose (preferably seamless) should be VTorn to all social and business Eillgagements. Shoes should be l:ept brushed am polished and in goed re:pair. The classic opera pump is correct with any outfit (considering 00 lor) ani will never go out of style and is the most flattering to the foot.

The primary rule in dress­ing is simplicity. It 1s better taste to under dress than ower c.ress. When there is any doubt about a particular item, leave it off. Be sure all your clothea fit well. It is the secret ot the well dressed woman.

Are you conscious of your voice? Do you speak in a tone that is pleasing? You will fiM t.hat more people will stop to listen to what you have to say U you would endeavor to develop Em. alert, discriminating mind Emd a senSitive, sympathetic out­look upon life. Remember ladies, t.he voice that you hear when you
