Pictures is Chaplain Hampe listening intently to another chaplain (our Chaplain Yost) at the 23rd Anniversary Banquet.

Read Chaplain Hampe's speech published within these pages, a speech which could be subtitled "What Are You Giving The Sansei?" And to DOG CHAPTER members meeting in reunion on Maui the weekend of Aug. 13-15, the thoughts expressed by the chaplain may be something you could kick around while hoisting one for old time's sake.

Puka Squares Call it vicissitude, if you want to , but it was only last month that the editor complained about his hard and unvalued seat. And now comes the following letter from Sandy Kawashima.

"It is with deep regret that I must resign from my position as Youth Correspon­dent to the Puka Puka Parade. It has been a pleasure and an honor to be a part of the staff for one and a half years .

I find that with the onset of a new school year I will be engaged in numerous activities and in all fairness to everyone and to all things involved--my parents, my education, and especially to you--I must give the column up.

I found that writing for such a fine publication as the Puka Puka Parade has provided me with an experience that was both unique and invaluable. For this I am grateful. May I wish you continued success as editor of the Puka Puka Parade."

The Club 100 is compounded of many things, manyacuvIues. Somehow, all of the many diversities get to touch each other in one way or the other to make up the big ball of way affectionately known as the One-Puka-Puka. The Youth Group is one of the many facets of the club. Perhaps, this is a good time to thank all of those who helped the Youth Group get on its way, and perhaps a special thanks should go to Sandy Kawashima for keeping us informed of the group's activities. Good luck to you, Sandy, and may the Lord bless you.

We were sorely tempted to edit Chaplain Hampe's speech, it only because of space considerations. But juSt so we wouldn't inadvertently foul-up any reader's interpretation of the Chaplain's speech which was delivered at the 23rd anniver­sary banquet, we decided to publish the speech in toto rather than trust our judg­ment "so that the central idea of service and training given by the parents of the last generation is retained." The part in quote is from Chaplain Hampe's letter which is also reproduced within these pages.

Concerning Adlai Stevenson, we like the opening paragraph of a recent column by William F. Buckley, Jr., which read like this: "Alongside him, they were all illiterate, depending for their aura on professional ghosts, on entire depart­ments of great universities, on a conscript American Academy of Arts and Sciences. But Adlai Stevenson was the genuine article." America, and much of the world, will miss him.

We were so impressed with what the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Admin) Solis Horwitz had to say about his boss Defense Secretary Robert McNamara that in lieu of our regular editorial note, we have decided to public excerpts from Mr. Horwitz's speech. With the big battles in Viet Nam yet to come, and with Mr. McNamara having a critical hand in the major deCiSions, we feel that what the assistant has to say sheds some interesting light on how Mr. McNamara operates. And the more we understand the Secretary, the more we begin to understand the big picture.

Golf J ames Kawashima, after shooting six over par on the front nine, got hot on the back nine for a one under par score to come in first with 75 - 8-67, and won the Tengan Flying A trophy award.

Tournament was played at the Ala Wai Golf Course on June 20. "Long Winter" for Kawa, looks like he is back on his game. He isoneofourold "tiger", that used to be a winner consistently. Second place was small man with the long ball Thomas Nakamura with 74-6-68 . Naka shot another fine game - he is "hot" now. Third was Lefty Tani­gawa with 85-17-68. He is showing some teeth again. Ken Iha, 83-H-69 and James Tani 78-9-69 tied for fourth place . All the winners shot fine scores.

"Smooth Swinning" Larry Amazaki shot a fine game 78-9-69 to come home the winner and take the July Ace which was held at the Moanalua Golf Course on July 4. It look's like Larry is beginning to like this course. The last time he shot a 77. Larry is one golfer that can stop at the top of his backs wing and start all over again , when he feels something is wrong with the take away. How many of us can do that - very few.

Another "Smooth Swinger" Ronald Mi­wa came in second with 83-12-71. It is good to see Ronald come in, after the long lay-off the game was off, but now he is getting back in good shape. Third was "Long Ball" Thomas Naka­mura 78-6 - 72. His game is still "hot". In fourth place Ken Iha 87-14-73.

Low Gross: A Flight James Kawshima B Flight Yasuto Furusho C Flight Hideshi Niimi

The semi - final matches for the club champion was won by Thomas Naka­mura and James Tani . Thomas Naka­mura over J ack Mizushima, tought ma­tch that went to the eighteen hole tied. The twO players were on two regulation on the green. Naka had a longer putt than J ack, but he two purred for his par, Jack three putted for his bogey to lose the match. James Tani won over Tony Oshita 3 and 2. "Steady" Tani I guess was too steady for Tony.

So , the final match between Thomas Nakamura and James Tani next tourna ­ment at the Ala Wai Golf Club should be very interesting.

Hawaii SP RING COMES A LITTLE LATE THIS YEAR.

This column ran into an occupational hazard crossfire common to account­ants during the tax season and it went down in the best Sonny Liston manner. In short we of the trade don't fade away like MacArthur's soldiers, we just go off balance. Hence, we've been in a deep freeze right along. The tha wing out will have to be genteel like , not like the spring thawing at La Gros­se this year which must have brought on a lot of moaning and groaning at the rain.

The rain in Sprain may fall mainly on the plain but out Hamakua way the rain falls mainly on the cane which speels bonanza to the folks out there. There's lirrle cussing out there least of all from Richard Okazaki who JUSt traded his slave ship for a pair of knee-high boots, having been elevated from road overseer to irrigation su­pervisor at Honokaa Sugar Co. The underlings who work with him look you with raised eyebrows when you tell them Whitey never uttered a swear word in his Co . F days . We wondered why he didn't make sergeant.

PERSONAL GLIMPSES

State department commander George Inouye, Commander George Taketa DAV Chapter 6 and Larry Hirokawa, convention chairman purring their heads together to program the Statewide DA V convention in Hilo on June 18-20 week­end. At which time the boys will shoop things up to show people they're anything but disabled, dehydrated or dehorned. Among other things they'll get a preview look of the Kalapana­Chain-of-Craters highway.

Amos Nakamura splirring the air with choice expletives in a sergeant - like voice in the family car at a busy inter­section. We thought it was directed at us jaywalkers. Turned out to be his daughter sirring meekly behind the wheel . . . How come he didn't make captain? ••

If you see a perspiring helmeted Hilo Gas Co . man with a geiger counter opening manholes sniffing for gas leaks it most likely will be Motoyoshi Ta­naka who expels two snorts of air for one intake. How come he didn't get into Chemical Warfare? Anyway the streets get busted up, the motorists rant and rave, the rains come, Richard smiles, the thawing's about complete and we're back in balance again.

Bowling League leaders Denver Gril1(A) was stopped cold by Nakatani Farm(B) 4-0 and retarded the progress for their first championship in many years of Club 100 Bowling league on June 25 at Bowl-O-Drome.

Able If you see the Able Chapter picnic sign out Waimanalo way on July 25, it will be the area where the chapter will hold it's annual picnic-Ken Oka­moto's place.

Say, why don't you make It easy for the picnic committee members(espec­ially the food) by making your reser­vation early. According to chairman Ken Okamoto-he has already line up another bang-up program for all ages ­starting from 9 a.m. so come out early.

Going into the second round of the Club 100 bowling league, Denver Grill, captained by Yutaka Inouye is leading the league by two points. Teammates are Goro "steady" Sumida, Carl "Lef­ty" Morioka, Stan "Tak" Takahashi, Tom "Cannon Ball" Ibaraki, Sada Ma ­tsunami(D) and the latest addition Ko Fukuda - replacement for Chick Hi ­rayama, who is working for the US Postal Service. What about the Kan­raku tea house team? Could do better and is captained by Eugene Kawakami . Rest of the rollers but not bowlers are Mac Yoshikawa, Kaname Yui, Paul Shirai, Tom Nishioka, Jim Oki and Blue Nagasaki.

17 high school youths will make the trip to Cherry Blossom Land this sum­mer under the sponsorship of the H2nd Veterans Club and one of the fortunate boys who made the team due to his brillant fielding and batting as a second­base man for MidPac - a junior is Brian - son of Y. "Hardrock" Suya­ma. Also, sone of one of our Honor­able Member - Peanut Kunihisa _ Dennis Kunihisa from Punahou will make the lineup for Hawaii in Japan.

With a pleasant feeling of satisfaction , C Chapter members met on June 30th

to recap our recent reunion and to recall some of the joyous moments spent with old buddies of long ago. The comments heard were all good. Oahu was host for this reunion. We proved that .. city" folks can put up a "country" type reception. Everybody rallied together to make things easier for those coming from outlying Islands and of course, Morn Mitchell from the "biggest island". From the standpoint of Oahu members, the success of the reunion means we made our guests happy and it was worth their while to have been here. And also we were happy to have met your wives and children. Next time, if we do meet again, we hope it won't be too long a time that we won't be able to recognize your growing children.

The large quantity of opihis for Fri­day night's pupu came from Molokai. The Maui gang brought more opihis plus some namako, kuri manju, La­haina nasubi and pickled peaches. Ha­waii brought anthurium flowers and fresh tempuras. Bo Shiozaki brought several crates of cherries and peach­es. All these were over and above the regular food and drinks prepared.

Chaplain Yost and his family were among the guests for this pupu session and gave us a few stories and events of the past that only he could have known. And don't forget his remark about not worrying where you can't do anything (receding hairline) and worry where you can do something (battle of the bulging waistline). It's re­assuring to know that we still have our Chaplain to look after us.

Saturday night's dinner at Duke Ka­hanamoku's was something to remem­ber. The fact that we brought our whole family, including children down to five years of age, to a night club in Waikiki made it an unusual occasion. But Don Ho, in his easy going manner, worked his entertainment around the C Chapter reunion with extreme finesse to change our night club outing into

a reunion banquet par excellence. How would you expect anyone to pick out Paula Ito (Yoroku and Edith's five yr. old daughter) and Brain Moto (Kaoru and Vilet's six year old son) to come up on stage and sing a number to the group as Don Ho accomplished? Jim­my Mitsuda also went up on stage to sing Lili Marlene the way the bo ys used to sing it in Italy. Mits took the cue for a volunteer the moment Masao Sato hesitated when called on to Sing something for his wife's (Chie­ko) birthday - Mits was ready. His legs were wobbling (so he sez) but his voice did not quiver.

Norman Mitchell travelled farthest to be with us. Remember he was here about two years ago with his wife and children? It was good to have been able to see you again, Norm.

Some of the side trips were first time visits for many Oahu members. Next time Kaoru Matsumura won't get "lost" trying to find Bishop Museum.

There are a few more things to do be­fore we can close the book~ on the re­union. We have souvenir pictures to distribute. Each participating member will receive the large group picture and the smaller group picture we took Saturday night. Stanley Kimura made an album of colored pictures through­out the weekend. These are for sale and arrangements are being made to mail an album to Maui and Hawaii so that orders can be taken. Norman Mitchell will receive an album for being the farthest away. One album will go the Club 100.

Chapter functions do not Stop and we have a picnic at Yamane's Beach lot coming. Robert Hashimoto is working hard to line up the details.

A stag party is due this summer but we haven't received any details. We will depend on Mike Tokunaga to come up with something.

Headquarters Family Nite was held at the Clubhouse on July 2. Hideo Kajikawa did a bang up job as chairman for the affair. He had many assistants including the Suehiros, Akimotos, Shimogakis, and many others. Special guests for the affair were Mr. & Mrs. Stephen R. Asakura and Mr. & Mrs. Eiji Naka­gawa. The menu was beef stew, tripe stew as main dishes, and for salad, head cabbage with tuna and peas. Des­sert was jello topped with marshmal­lows. Beverages, sashimi and rice were also on the menu.

Toshi Kunimura's son, Scott, who was picked as a member of the All Star Prep Team which leaves for Japan late this month brought some team members after practice and ate a hearty meal.

Yours truly had an opportunity to visit Los Angeles from May 16 to May 29 and met former Capt. George H. Grandstaff of First National Bank

Since it won't be an official fishing outing, the boys will be concentrating more on feeding and entertaining the guests. Will be trying to satisfy in­dividual taste and prepare all types of food so the guests can make their choice as if they are dining at Royal Hawaiian Hotel.

In the last monthly report about our May outing, was called to attention that the ulua caught by Yoshio Saito was 14-3/4 lbs. instead of 13-1 / 4Ibs. So sorry for the big mistake.

On June 25, the club went back to the same place for the June outing but came up with a 3-1/2 lbs. papio -Welll Can't be lucky all the time.

AN EXODUS of members and their family to the Mainland this summer, for business and vacation trips, for the TOKUJI ONO'S; RIKIO TSUDA'S and the HAJIME KODAMA'S.

Supposed to be working the swing shift at Dole, but seen elsewhere was FRED NAKAMURA, recuperating from his bout with ulcers, was it, Fred?

ST ANLEY NAKAMOTO combined business and pleasure on his recent trip to Kauai -- to be back JUSt in time to help out the last two nights at the Fair'" corn booth.

While on Kauai, he attended his parent's 50th wedding anniversary as well as made some business deals for his air engineering firm.

Oyabun Oshiro's new abode is now just about 85% completed, so guess the off­springs will be happy that they can start the new school year from their new house. HOUSE WARMING????

BELATED CONGRATULATIONS TO: All the high school graduates of members of Baker chapter. Some of them were missed in the last issue of the PPP. They are:

He is provided a company sedan equipped with a two-way radio communication system to communicate with his main office.

No wonder he has been actively chair-ing our chapter affairs with the ease of a seasoned " hancho" . More power to you Stanley. (Contributed by RS)

ACTIVITIES REPORT

WOW, NEWS A-PLENTY FOR THIS ISSUEI MUCH BAKERITE ACTIVITIES I

The last Sunday of June witnessed the annual picnic at the Yamane Beach lot, Ewa. From Waianae came Kazuo "Cheeta" Okada and his brood. Andy:--1omura and his whole family were there for the first time in many moons, eh wot, ",ndy!

Taking over as general chairman was Alan Tamura, supposedly the 3rd man on the totem pole. And without any reservation whatsoever, HE DID A TERRRIFIC JOBI Seems like the only time he shows up on activities and projects is when HE IS MADE RESPONSIBLE for the affair???

All kidding aside, everyone attending this affair must have had a wonderful tlme, thanks to you and your hard-working crew, Alan.

The Kalua Pig, poi, lomi salmon, chicken long rice, etc., were all really delicious . Thanks to the food crew of Roy Nakatani and Joe Nakahara and Robert Aoki and Company.

Being prexy, he just had to get into the act, but he, Roy-san with the help of HK and HK and BJ and HS did a wonderful job on the games. In a name matching

contest, where the gals had to find their man from the paper clues, the gals left NO DOUBTS that they knew who's who in Baker--the boys indulging in some card games were really surprised no end to find themselves yaked out and hustled to the finish line.

And waving off with the husband-wife balloon (filled with water) pitching-catching contest were the STANLEY IMAMURA's barely nosing out the "Yoshimasa" "Mempachi" Kawaguchi's-- the balloon bursting in the wife's hand, though per­fectly caught.

And impressing the baseball enthusiasts was the daughter of Choriki St-Jmabuku oozing with natural baseball talent. Scouts of the JETS, please take note, and take action!

The gals out-tugged the boys in the tug-o-war but no fair, they were anchored by some "beeg" teen agers, DO's daughter for one.

To all other hard-working members and wives namely Hiroshi Shimizu, Hajime Yamane, Mrs. Kadowaki, Joe Muramatsu, and all others who pitched in with their little bit, tanx for making this affair the success that it was.

000 000 000 000 000 000 000

FollOwing in the wake of thiS picnic affair came the lO-day corn selling project at the Waikiki Shell grounds for the 50th State Fair sponsored by the JCC.

From here say accounts, the manpower turn out was very good except for a "bad" last Saturday matinee period in which HK and JN almost got ulcers! It was very reliably reported that a strong DAV guy had put in several appearances and really showed some old timers how to work. Tanx loads MASARU NAKASHIl\lA, and daughter. And how about attending our meetings and other affairs, too. Would like to see you there!

Drusilla Akamine, the "meet-me" gal of the youth club, upheld the honor of this organization -- being the most faithful, to the point of feeling somwhat embarass­ed because the other did not show. By the way, you surely did not get your writing talents from your old man -- do tell!

The first Saturday saw a record sale of corn -- 70 plus cases of corn being sold . But the second Saturday saw a larger cash take -- inspite of approximately 60 cases of corn only being sold??? How Come??? Tis a good riddle to solve .

Of course, the hardest working family group was again PA's famil y, minus PA of course. They were there 7 days out of the 10! Take a bow CAROL, CYNTHIA, CLYDE, and "baby" JANE. MERCI BEAUCHAMP!

To tell the complete story, like relating the smoked chicken sale, would be like writing a book. BeSides, Screen Process can't stand another lOSing issue (Lost money on the Smoked Chicken story issue). Suffice to say that it was through your efforts we were able to conclude another successful corn sale. Thank you all overseers, chairmen, and workers, you were all thoroughbreds!

Editorial McNamara: The Man, Not The Myth. We are all aware that in the march of history, the time of crisis beings forth the man. Therefore, it is not surprising that in this particular time of the developing crisis in Viet Nam, we should have a Secretary of Defense who has the will, and has developed the power, to deal with the crisis.

Because the nature of his job is so all-encompassing, and because the actions of the Defense Department ultimately touch upon all of our lives, the Defense Secretary has come under much fire from his critiCS, and critics abound. Real, or facetiously, Mr. McNamara is often depicted as an insatiable machine ready to gobble up all within his grasp.

On the other hand, most of us must certainly appreciate the Secretary's devotion and zeal for the common good, and his pursuit of this goal. His devotion is no less than that of the thousands of GIs, rifles in hand, standing guard over the vital ramparts of defense in Viet Nam.

In order to better understand, and perhaps, appreciate what the Secretary of Defense is doing, printed below are excerpts from a recent speech by Assistant Secretary of Defense (Administration) Solis Horwitz in an address at Greenwich, Connecticut, on May 18.

THE DEFENSE SECRETARY's MANAGEMENT CONCEPT (excerpts from Mr. Horwitz's address)

Active Leadership

The subject which I have been asked to discuss is Mr. McNamara's concept of management, because this is the concept which today prevails in the Department of Defense. I hasten to say that I think it is not a concept of management which is unique to Mr. McNamara.

There are three possible approaches to managing such a gargantuan organiza­tion. The Secretary of Defe nse may adopt one of three roles: he may be a co­ordinator, or a judge, or an active leader. There is no doubt that Mr. McNamara has chosen the latter role--and there is also no doubt that this concept of leader­ship reflects the intent of the iaw under which the Defense Department now oper­ates.

Mr. McNamara believes that one of the great difficulties, whether in the Govern­ment or in industry, is the inability or lack of desire to make decisions. If a problem invoi ves conflict, the tendency is not to decide the problem. The tend­ency is to shove it under the carpet and avoid the conflict; or, alternatively, [0

arrive at a decision which satisfies everybody. Often, as I'm sure you know, a deciSion which satisfies everybody actually decides nothing at all.

Full Range of Alternatives.

There are two types of decisions which occupy an executive's time.

First, there are the minor routine, administrative deciSions. It really does not

make much difference whether most of these decisions are "yes" or "no" .----­The best thing to do is to make the decision and get it over with.

On the other hand, there are important and complex problems which must be thoroughly analyzed and studied. They must be subjected to review and every fact brought out but most importantly, they must be brought to a head. They must be resolved. In other words, they must be brought to the point where intelligent decision becomes possible.

The Secretary's role in the development of the Defense program is that of good as well as a decision-maker. He does not limit himself to the decision of pro­blems as they come up through the operating echelons. He actively seeks to identify problem areas and potential problem areas and to assign them for study and resolution. He is never wholly satisfied with the currently approved pro­gram, constantly asking questions, asking for studies of alternatives--alternative ways of achieving national security objective--seeking better ways, less costly and more effective ways of meeting defense needs. His criterion for deciding which program alternative to approve is coSt and effectiveness--which alterna­tive provides the greatest effectiveness for a given cOSt or provides a requlred capability at least cost.

In arriving at an important decision, Mr. McNamara never wants to be presented with a single staff study that says: Do it this way. He inSists upon knowing: What are the facts? What are the alternative solutions? This is his most charac­teristic, continuing demand of his staff: What are the alternatives, including the status quo? Are you sure we have looked at all of them? Then he wants the various alternatives weighed in terms of their advantages and disadvantages.

Why does he want thiS? I think this is important, both from the pOint of view of the decision-maker and from the point of view of the staff member. F rom the point of view of the decision-maker, unless he is given all the available alterna­tives, he soon ceases to be the decision-maker, because his staff is really making the decisions for him. Furthermore, it gives the decision-maker, in considering various alternatives, the assurance that thorough staff work has been completed-­that there are no booby traps lurking beneath the surface. From the point of view of the staff man, it gives him the assurance that his boss needs and wants to see all the factors relating to making a decision.

Functional Programming

When Mr. McNamara assumed office, he decided that a number of the problems plaguing the Defense Department arose from the fact that we were making de­CiSions, and allocating funds, according to who was going to do the work and spend the money--instead of asking ourselves what the work and the money were going to accomplish.

Mr. McNamara is constantly examining the status quo--that is, the present or­ganizational structure of the Department--seeking ways to make it work better. The experience of several years has shown that certain activities of the Defense establishment can be continued not only with greater economy but far more effectively when carried out on a Department-wide basiS.

Decentralization

The management reforms which have been made in the Department have not been free from a good deal of strain and controversy. Some of these stem from

unhappiness with specific decisions such as those dealing with m • jor weapons systems like the SKYBOL T. Most of it, however, stems frem a fallure to fully comprehend what has been done. Much of the critic] sm directed toward what is called Mr. McNamara' s overcentralization of the Defense establishment is often the res ult of the critic's failure to realize that what he sees is, in actuality, a step toward decentralization.

Actually, when we discuss the problem of centralization, there are three differ­ent connotations in which we use that word. The first is the centralization of responsibility. There is little question about this: responsibility is centralized by law in the Secretary of Defense. However, we sometimes confuse the other two connotations: the centralization of function, and the centralization of authori­ty. We fail to realize that the centralization of function is a valuable tool for bringing about decentralization of authority. The more a function is fragmented, the higher the organizational level at which authority to make a decision must be located. Conversely, the more a function is consolidated, the more readily authority to deal with that function can be delegated to lower levels within the organization.

The Results

To sum up, he believes that, by law, he is responsible for running the Department of Defense. He believes that the law requires ultimate decisions to be made by himself, based upon the best advices--military and civilian---that he can get. He believes that the best advice is advice which analyzes problems for him in terms of alternatives, and weighs those alternatives. He believes that, once the policy decision has been made, operations must be carried out in full conformity with the original decision .

I suspect that this is a good philosophy for running any organization. In any event, it is how Robert McNamara runs the Department of Defense and he has obtained some remarkable results. During the past four years , for example, we have achieved:

A 45 per cent increase in the number of combat-ready Army divisions-­from 11 to 16.

A 44 per cent increase in tactical aircraft.

A 100 per cent increase in airlift capacity.

An 800 per cent increase in Special Forces trained in counterinsurgency.

Nor did we borrow from Peter to pay Paul.

Editor

Editor's comment . The Defense Department is the largest corporate organiza­tion in the world. Although the average citizen may shrug off Mr. McNamara's problems as being of his own asking, the point to keep in mind, in reading Mr. Horwitz's speech, is that the Defense Secretary's management technique is no secret formula applicable only to a large corporation or to the Defense Depart­ment. The technique is basic. What is uncommon is that the Defense Secretary is making it work -- and this is where the critics with their cherished dogmas jump in.

\I WILLIAM KOMODA '8'

Dear Mr. Yamamoto:

Enclosed is the copy of the address that it was my high privilege to give to the 23rd Anniversary Banquet of the Club 100. I trust that it is adequate for your use. It was a most thrilling evening for Mrs. Hampe and myself to share that time with your wonderful group.

You are at libeny to cut parts out of this when you print it if you find that it is too long . I shall trust your judgment in the editing so that the central idea of service and the training given by the parents of the last generation is retained. My spelling of the Japanese words may not be proper in all cases and you are urged to correct these words wherever you may find them.

We invite you to visit us at the base if you are ever out this way. My office is in the Base Chapel and they can find me if I am not in when you should arrive.

Again, thank you for the honor of allOwing me to be with your members.

Sincerely yours,

Philip R. Hampe Ch, Chaptain, USAF Protestant Chaplain

Editor's note: Chaplain Hampe's speech follows in its entirety. As Blue Nagasaki say (in his 23rd Anniversary Pany Notes), Chaplain Hampe "Known what he's talking about. It's about you and me, your parents and your sansei future. It's really something to thank about. Toss it around in your mind and talk it over with your wife and pass it around to your friends." We feel that any editing wouid do injustice to the Chaplain's speech.

"FOR CONTINUING SERVICE"

Mr. Miyake, General, honored guests, ladies and members of Club 100.

I consider it a high privilege to be present with you this evening. I do not fee l wonhy to speak to your group because of your great combat record and my own meager service in Italy. I accepted this invitation only because of a deep personal debt of gratitude and respect that I have for the men of the 100th. It is in that spirit of obligation that I stand before you this evening.

My overseas duty was with the 34th DiviSion, as has been mentioned. I was a re­placement for the 135th Inf. Regiment in the summer of 1944, joining the division after Rome had been taken. I stayed with the division JUSt long enough to get one of those overseas bars that were worn on the left sleeve. My motto had been "Steam heated barracks in the winter, and field soldier in the summer;" so, when the rain came, and you moved to the delightful beaches of southern France, I came back to the states for fun her training.

We of the 34th had aU heard stories of the 100th. Your record of decorations is phenomenal: One Congressional Medal of Honor, 24 Distinguished Service Crosses, 147 Silver Stars, 1703 Purple Heans, 2400 Bronze Stars, plus several Legions of Merit, Croix D'Guerre's and other citations and honors.

I had heard how there were no AWOL'S except from the hospitals. In Rome, ir. the fall of 1944, one of your members told me that he had jumped the hospital (0 get back to the company for a rice dinner. Anyone who knows yo ur group knows of the troubles you faced in getting a rice ration. Also, anyone who ever saw you going up to the lines will always remember the chickens and other items of non-issue gear carried by your members.

The motto "Gor For Broke" truly meant that . You had to keep on - you could not quit like the "Haole" units. My first meeting with the 100th in person was when you passed through us at the Ceccina River. We had crossed that day, and being "union" troops had dug in for the night having worked our eight hour day, but a line of short men with tall rifles passed through us "Going up there as there are no German's here." Yes, the record set by the 100th will never be equaled again; because we trust that there will never again be a need for such a unit - a need for a specific group of American's to prove their loyalty.

~!any Changes Have Occured in 23 Years

Times have changed. In 1942, it was one car to a family; now, it is two or three per family; then , men worked for 35C per hour, now $1.25 minimum wage; then , we kids worked for our spending money - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was my home and we did "wallpaper cleaning" at SOC a room, or carried coal at 1 C a bushel; now each kid gets an allowance and you can ' t get him to cut the grass or clean windows. In 1942, you came home from school and worked in the fields or the store; now it's "Mom, drive me to little league" or "to the library," or "to dancing lessons," or they just watch TV. When we were kids, we walked to a ball game, to church or wherever we wanted to go. In 1942 the horse was still the main source of power on the farm; now it is the tractor and horses are for riding as a hobby. Westinghouse Electric Company had a large, pear-shapea building on the hill in East Pittsburgh that was an Atom Smasher. It was saiJ that when they finally solved the riddle of the atom they would solve the problems of the world. Now we know that this was not to be the end-all of life; nuclear energy has opened up a pandor's box of problems for both good and evil.

Buck Roger's used to be a comic strip hero; now his creator will no longer Jraw hIm as Buck Rogersis no longer a fantacy; - Maj. White's walk in space over :-fawaii this past week was done with a "Buck Rogers" type of power unit.

:\.!any feel we are on the edge of the solutions to today's world problems

We have conquered space, I am told by well meaning people. Men tell me [hat they believe that man is in charge of the universe at last. It will be just a shon while, they say, till man finds all of the answers.

~ly dad wrote to me after Mr. Carpenter's flight about the world and reminded me that man had just gone one inch off tRe average high school globe. He then wrote of seeing Hale's comet as a boy. Hale's commet, as you' know, travels on an orbit of 70 years. My dad's question was "where does it go for those 70 years? Isn't the world, the universe so much bigger than man ever imagined?" He reminded me that man is still the created, the creature, the struggling per­sonality in the midst of the vastness that is creation.

Man has come a long way; but he has so far to go before he known all the answers. Man is mixed up when he feels that he is in charge of creation. Man has confused himself when he feels that somehow man will ultimately find all of the answers.

When man believes that somehow technology will solve everything, he is merely showing his lostness in life.

Man has moved out into space, and he says that he has conquered it. And yet, man is not too certain why he is living. Jet's bring one of Hawaii in five hours; 23 years ago, the Pan Am Clippers took all day. Our homes are full of labor­saving device; but what are we doing with the time we save?

Man has more knowledge of things today than ever before in history; but what is he doing with it? Has all of this knowledge given him serenity? Peace of mind? A joy of living?

Too many adults have taken the Apostle Paul's words too literally when he says: " When I was a child I spole like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; but when I became a man, [ gave up childish ways." The wa ys that Paul was talking about were habits of life. Paul, even as a man continued to ask the childish questions of "WHY?" Why is man living? Why am [here? Why do things happen just as they do? Why does the moon shine at night and the sun by day? Why do trees grow up and not gown? Why is it pleasant to sit quietly by the one you love?

My Concern as a Chaplain is People:

My concern as a chaplain is for people, all sorts of people. My concern today is for the future, not only of our nation, but the future of all peoples in the world. )"Iy concern is: Are our children getting the training they need for todays world?

Sometimes I become despondent as I ready of crimes, murders, anti-social in­cidents. Sometimes I know these people personally, other times they are just statistics. When I become discouraged I think of people like the I DOth and ask myself "what made that outfit great? What made them keep on? made them keep setting records?"

My answer is that the IOOth was a Nisei outfit and the Issei gave them somethin; that made them a bit different from the Haloe units. Now I must ask "are th~ Sansei getting this same something, or have they become so Haole-fied that one can't tell them from the Haole's?"

What was it the Issei gave you? They gave you a Dream! A dream of something better, it was just a dream. They may have "fleshed-out" the dream with some specifics; but mainl y it was just a dream. A something to be worked for, some­thing to strive for, something you wanted and the cOSt wan within your ability to pay.

The Issei also gave you an Ideal. They told you that you were as good as anyone else. They gave you a name that said that you could not let the famil y name down. You knew that you might not reach to the heights of the dream; but there was a line below which you could not fall.

The old ones gave you Hope. Hope that things would be different for you and for your children. You would not have to live on the plantation if you did not choose to. Japanese children would no longer have to go without just because they were Japanese. No longer would individuals be lumped in the category "JAP'S" -but would be considered as persons.

In short - the Issei gave you a goal. More than a goal, they gave you a philosophy of life by which you were able to attain your goal.

I am a Sansei

n

In reality, I am a Sansei (if I may use that term). My grandfather was a "Sond­Child" in the mountains of Pennsylvania. At age 17, the bank forclosed the mort­gage on the family to whom he had been bonded and placed him as the bank's agent on the farm. My father was the Nisei. He was the man who took the old ones vision, dream. ideals and hopes and set a goal that meant climbing out of that valley in central Pennsylvania. He was the first man to cross the mountains and go outside to stay. You who were raised on the plantations know his story • as his story is your story. He too watched the other kids in town on market day when his father delivered vinegar to the hotels and restaurants. He too dreamed of getting something better, dreamed, dreamed of an education, of going over the mountain where the dream could be fulfilled. He went over his mountain - and so have you. You all went over your mountains. You went a long way for a Ha­waiian boy - Camp McCoy, Camp Shelby, Italy, France. My question, what have you learned since you went over your mountain? What about the Sansei?

I am the Sansei of my family. In 1937 my brother wanted to work for the summer. My father said that he had had to work so hard as a boy that "No son of mine is going to have to work like thatl" My wise mother then asked him "Warren, what made you the man that you are, people giving you things, or by getting out and learning on your own?" Suffice it to say all of my brothers and sister were allowed to work from that day on.

What are you giving the Sansei?

What are you giving the Sansei? What is the present generation giving to their children? We read the letters in the Star Bulletin where Socrates was quoted as speaking about the Juvenile Delinquents of his day. Then we read the second letter from the teacher saying that, yes Socrates did write such a letter; but that within two generations following his statement Greece fell to the Romans. Greece, the world leader fell from internal decay.

May I ask a question that you all have asked yourselves? Why, after the great record of the American forces in WW II, did we have the sorry sight of 21 in Korea who would not come home? Why were their colaborators in the Korean camps? Yet this was the record just five years after the lOath set their great record. I do not have the answer. I do have opinions of my own.

I wonder if the answer of this question of Korea and juvenile delinquency is not right here in this room. Is not the answer that such people missed the great things that the Issei gave you - the goal of life? Has it not been shown that juve­nile delinquents have no dreams of tomorrow, they have no hope for a better day cmOing, they have no ideals to live up to - in short, they have missed that which the Issei ga ve to the Nisei.

You and I grew up in the depreSSion years. All that the folks could give us was Philosophy. Today we are too busy for philosophy; so we give things, material gifts. I was the one who got the bicycle when I was 11 - with three kids to ride it. Today my kids are on their second or third set of bikes and they are only eight and ten years of age. We give the kids the cars, the key to the liquor closet, the latest fashions in clothes, a private room - we give them material things when

they want is the answer to their WHYS? "Why does the rain fall down, why is water blue, why are girls soft, why do I feel this way in church, or at the beach or when alone?"

Did we miss the dream?

Did we miss the dream, the ideal, the goal, the love that they, our parents shared with us? Are we so busy seeking for ourselves that we cannot find time for our children - because we truly do not know what we are seeking? Have we no dreams, .10 ideals to share with those who come after us?

Why must the little leagues, the scoutS, church groups beg for leaders? Have we forgotten that it is our children and their future that is our hope as a nation. That our children are our greatest possession.

Sometimes we forget exactly what it was that made us the men that we have be­come. We say "let them learn as I had to learn. No one did it for me!" That is true, your parents did not help with your schooling because they could not read English. Your parents did teach you what they could - the best way to cut cane, to work a horse, to stock shelves in the store . They taught you their religion, the ways of the temple, the ways of reverence for your ancestors and adults. They taught what they knew, and then they encouraged yo u to learn that which they could not teach.

Let me ask you - How did you learn the stories of why they came to Hawaii? Why the Issei cared so much that you learned the new ways and retained the old? Why were they so concerned about yo ur future? Why did they do these things? Because they cared about you enough to share these dreams and goals with you .

The Issei had hard rules; but they tempered their rules with lo ve. Ol1e of the saddest people I ever have to work with is the man or woman whose parents did not care! The ones whose parent's were too busy with their own problems to share, to care, to love.

Love Includes Discipline:

Love includes discipline. Discipline, as any military person knows, is JUSt the word for "the rules." Discipline is not punishment. Punishment may be a pan of discipline; but is not all of discipline. Love is that quality that makes a parent see that the child understands the family's discipline or rules . It is love that causes the parent. to see that the child learns the right way - nowt The loving parent knows that if the child does not learn now, when will he learn, and what will he be life if he never learns?

People come to me and say "Chaplain, I can't do a thing with that "child." What an admission of failure. When I ask if they could stop the child if he were falling into a fire, and they say "Yes". I say that if they can't control the child at other times , it merely means to me that they do not have love big enough to take the time, to have the patience, in shon, the love to see that the child is trained pro­perly. Either there are no rules to enforce, or the parents in fact do not love the child enought to prepare him for life.

Why have I taken so much of your time on children? Because you are a service group. You have a motto" For Continuing Service." You fought so that the world would be a different place in which to live, so that Japanese people in America

might be accepted as people, so that you and your children could fulfill the dreams of the old ones .

The battle is not finished. We must continue to fight that others may also have their dreams and the opportunities to fulfill them.

I challenge you as a group . I challenge you as individuals, to see if the task is finished that you began 23 years ago. Is your personal battle over? I say nol So long as there is one child deprived of his right to dream dreams, to learn ideals, to grow into respon sible manhood, I say nor No, so long as children are deprived of these rights because adults are too busy, too lost, too confused to teach these things.

I challenge you as a group to find a place to serve with children. I challenge you as individuals to find opportunities in your communities, your churches, your clubs to share with the next generation these things which made you great.

May the blessing of God Almighty remain with you always. Amen.

23rd Ann iversary Party Notes

Even tho , it's graduation and June Bride time, the 23rd anniversary 10 course chop suey dinner was well attended by 300 members, wives, next of kins, honored guests and friends at Kings Gardens on June 12, 1965.

Are you Nisei getting soft? Are you making your Sansei too-haole-fied? To the members and wives who were pre­sent, please read the principal speak­er's (Chaplain Philips Hamper-Capt. USAF) speech again (printed in this issue), and refresh your memory or remember what he said. But to the others who weren't able to attend, please read it over and over again. Yepl He known what he's talking about . It's about you and me, your parents and your sansei future. It's really something to think about. Toss it around in your mind and talk it over with your wife and pass it around to your friends.

Working with limited time, the com­mittee headed by chairman Hal Tama­shiro (Hq.) did an excellent job. He was ably assisted by Biffa Moriguchi (A), Thomas Shirai (B), Bob Takato

(C), Ed Kuwazaki (D), Ed Ikuma (Hq.) Masaishi Goto (Med), Hakaru Taoka (Rural), and MC Mike Miyake and Hi­deshi Niimi.

Coming all the way from the outside islands were Kiyoshi Teshima, "Cab­by" Kabutan and "Fat" Yoshioka from Kauai plus from Maui No Ka Oi Mr. & Mrs. Kenneth Higa. Glad, you mem­bers were able to make it.

The task of presentation of leis and giving lot of Kissed was beautifully done by "Fat" Yoshioka's daughter "Joy" who just returned for vacation after one year schooling on the mainland.

There must be lots of faithful Former President Kennedy's keep-fit program and Pat Walker's redUCing program among the members and wives because there were enough left-over to feed over 50 persons after checking the tables when the affair was over.

Youth Regretfully, this will be my last re­gular contribution to the Puka Puka Parade as Youth Correspondent. The past year has been full of the ups and downs of forming a new organization and it has been my privilege and honor to tell you of them.

Why will this be my last article? Well this ole hag is making way for ne~ blood. True, but also on the more serious side, I found that I have been unable to keep up with studies, part­time jobs, sorority activities and such.

I leave though with the knowledge that the Youth Column will be continued in capable hands. You have no doubt enjoyed the past two youth articles written by Drusilla Akamine who has filled in for me at such short notice. (Thanks so very much, Drull Well, Dru has consented to be the new Youth correspondent and I am sure she will do a terrific job.

Dru is a freshmen at the University come fall and plans to be a teacher of retarded children. She has always been interested in retarded children and has spent much time as a volun­teer at the Retarded Children Vocation­al Center. She has been invaluable to the Youth Organization ever since its beginnings. She has organized both bowling leagues and has worked to no end to give the organization oppor­tunities to meet and get to know the members. To her we are all grateful.

lowe so much to so many people who have really helped me in writing this column and with the Youth organiza­tion. I wish I could name all of them ... but to Mr. Ono, Mr. Yamamoto, Mrs. Imada, Tommy, Dru, Iris, Jan,Joanne, Alekoki .. especially .... I owe my deepest gratitude . The past year and a half has been frustrating, fun, and wonder­ful. The experience of writing for such a fine publication has been in-

valuable to me. To everyone and to everything all I can say is "Thank you. "

Green Thumbs About 2U members and some wives rendez-vou'd at Kalihi Shopping Center at 9:00 A.M. on Sunday, June 6, and on 5 cars, started off on a tour of the Kodama and Miyamoto Nurseries in Waianae. Richard Yamamoto led the way which resulted in an unexpected tour of Waianae Valley which was not on the agenda but enjoyed by all . We were originally scheduled to visit Ko­dama Nursery first but somehow ended up at Miyamoto Nursery. After an interesting tour, we were invited to have our lunch there. We accepted the use of their germinating room as our dining room. We invited the Mi­yamoto's and the Kodama's and some other people to partake of our lunch. Luckily we had plenty of food which was enjoyed by all. In fact if we didn't have these extra guests, we would have had to open up a roadside concession to get ride of our steak, salad and rice.

After lunch we went to visit the Ko"­dama Nursery. On the way home we stopped at Bob Aoki's home and en­joyed the hospitality in the way of beer for the men and ice cream for the ladies and children. Bob has a most interesting collection (for me at least) and his fruit trees were some­thing to see. By the time we left on our last leg for home, it was close to 5 o'clock. We were all tired but satisfied and glad to be on our way home.
