BAKER CHAPTER By DO

.pproxima· ly 30 members were in atten­dance at ~he January GM meeting . . Masao "Moose" Hayakawa came all the way from Wahiawa to be with the boys this night?? Or was it the income tax lecture by Isao Nadamoto that drew you out, Masao? We would like to think the former -- and hope that others out Wahiawa way will come out more often too! Ditto to Ray Nosaka, where wert thou hiding 10 these

years? Perhaps twas 1lI0re like only months?

The Christmas Party broke out even, well almost, according to Chair­man T. Ono. He recommeds thought that we cut down on the meats - too much extra food left over as well as the door prizes for this year. And that we also eliminate the Magic show and instead replace it with cartoon, obtainable Free from Nippon Theater -- cheaper, no.

Bowling starts March 24, Friday, at the Bowl-O-Drome. There is a possibility, a strong one that Baker could end up with 5 teams, half the teams operating in the 100th league - IF - MIS drops their team. The question was raised - should we join the OBA which we are not now memb~r of"

STAG NIGHT - Natsunoya Tei Saturday, March 11, 1972. Those we commit themselves and no show will be billed the "damage." $9.00 per head is the cost. yep, prices have gone up! Call Ken Kaneko for reservations. Donation (liquors and stuff) gladly being accepted by Harry.

Stan Nakamoto still itching to get softball revived. Was given the procedures to get things moving through Board action, etc. Good luck to you, you young "chick" yet. Forget us old bucks - can't run like we used to. By the bye, the next Ulua catch you make. how about bring proof along with the tale.

Reported out was the 30th anniversary celebration. The newest item being the $10.00 package - which will include all functions and meals Pupu session (Friday), Chop Suey banquet - Hilton Dome (Saturday), Sayonara lunch, plus registration fee.

CHARLIE CHAPTER NEWS by Don Kuwaye

The Chapter members will certainly remember 1971 as the year that Warren Iwai and his fellow officers led the group in producing new ideas and events. This new thinking was certai • ly the reason why the family night­outing in la te summer , and the husban • wife get-together in November, 1971,

went over big with much participation and appreciation by all those who were able to attend. As W. Iwai mentioned several times, it takes new ideas to invigorate the members and their wives. Members are always welcome to officer new ideas. You may offer it at one of the monthly meetings or offer it in written form to the president of the chapter.

The chapter is only as strong as the membership. Each member is a vital part of the whole. My own observations certainly indicate that our membership can carry on any project that is undertaken. We have not failed in any project. The members have pitched in and done their individual share.

Days become weeks and then months. Soon it will be June when the 30th Anniversary of the Club will be observed with grand events. Charlie members will be participating in the planning, and will certainly attend the various functions.

Bowling season will commence in late March. The two Charlie teams-­Windward Furniture and North American Life will be in there fighting for every pinfall. It was a exciting year in 1971 when North American Life led the l eague most of the weeks and then faded into second place at the end. I think it would be something to think about in having the first round leaders play the second round champions. This would be a true test of a chapionship team. Hideo Doi will captain North American Life again. He is our perennial leader because he has brough one championship and a runner-up team since 1968, a very enviable reCD d.

I hear that Warren Yamamoto is now in his second semester at MIT, stu­dying mass transportation. His wife, Amy joined him in a trip to Washington, D.C. where Sparky Matsunaga gave them a royal treatment.

HAWAII CHAPTER NEWS by WALTER KADOTA

The- 1972 turnout for Club 100' s Installa­tion Night at the Hilo Lagoon proved to be the biggest ever in the memory of Hawaii Chapter. Sparked by Mayor Shunichi Kimfira s no-nonsense, straight-from-the-shou1der speech on the obligation that he and the community owe the men of the 100th for doing what they did in a critical time in

history, all talk about dwindling membership and dissolution went out the window.

Having scraped the bottom of the barrel George Inouye, one time presi­dent of the club was pressed back into service to head the organizatio for the second time around and was immediately labeled a "two-timer" which puzzled some of the ladies who know him to be deeply devoted to his wife.

The other retreads include: Vice-President •••••••••• Takao Miyao Secretary ••••••••••••••• Eugene Eguchi Treasurer ••••••••••••••• Tarush Yamamoto Auditors •••••••••••••••• Roger Kawasaki, Wallace Yamagata Directors ••••••••••••••• Richard Miyashiro, Kazuma Taguchi

To make 1972 a banner year for his regime, George Inouye named the following committees:

OPE~ LETTER TO MEMBERS OF CWB 100

Dear Veterans:

As you may know, the 100th Battalion returned to the Army Reserve at Fort DeRussy on 13 December 1969 after having been mobilized for approximately 19 months. While the unit remained at Schofield Barracks during this period, many of its members were assigned to units in Vietnam and other areas as individual replacements. They served with distinction, with nine of them making the supreme sacrifice for their country. Those of you veterans who were able to ob~erve them while at Schofield will agree when I say that their service, with very few exceptions, gave added luster to the out­standing reputation for achievement which the unit earned in World War II.

Unfortunately, the battalion returned to Fort DeRussy at an extremely low personnel strength -- only 17 percent of authorized. Most of the men who had been called up with the unit in May 1968 had gained credit for 2 years or more of active duty and elected to be dis­charged. This is a normal reaction following a demobilization, just as most of you left the service in 1945-46. Through intensive recruiting campaigns and attendant publicity, we managed to reach 49 percent a year ago. Since that time, because of continuing losses among men completing their Reserve obligations, we slowly slipped back to 46 percent as of this date.

With the reduction in size of the Active Army and drawdown in Vietnam, the Reserve units will very likely be reduced to an extent. Those which have consistently been at a low strength are most vulnerable to inactivation or possible transfer to another part of the country where recruiting problems are less severe. During the past few months, three units of company or detachment size have been eliminated from the Reserve structure in Hawaii as part of this overall reduction program. The 100th Battalion (including Company B in Hi10) was probably retained for the coming year, at least, because of its proud history, record of accomplishment and unique relationship with the people of Hawaii. Unless there is a significant increase in its strength posture during 1972, I would guess that it will be considered for eventual elimination from the rlawaii Reserve.

16

II

II

The purpose of this letter is twofold. First, to tell you of the crisis facing the unit today and to assure you that we are, and have been, working full-time and diligently to retain and recruit qualified young men. Second, to ask yo~assistance and the assistance of your wives, families, friends and anyone else who shares our respect and admiration for the "Go For Broke" battalion and the thousands of men who served in it with distinction since 1942. If you can publicize the problem and, in your own way, help us to reach the young men of the community and show them the benefits to be gained by joining the outfit, I believe that a catastrophe can be avoided. Many of you have employees or associates in your work who could be induced to stop by at the Fort DeRussy or Hilo Reserve Centers and learn all about the advantages enjoyed by present members. As a group, you might even see fit to hold an open house or social function of some type, attended by a cross-section of the community, to include young prospects for enlistment, as well as key members of the 100th Battalion to provide an interesting briefing on the program. The Reserve facilities at Fort DeRussy and Hilo could be made available for such purpose if desired. Retter still, you may have some ideas in this regard since you are not only part of the unit, in a historical sense, but are part of the community to which the battalion is appealing now for urgently needed support.

I would welcome any ideas or assistance that the members of Club 100, collectively, individually, or both, can offer to help keep the 100th Battalion as an active unit in the Hawaii Army Reserve.

Sincerely,

K. G. GROOM Colonel, Infantry Commanding Officer U. S. Army Reserve, Hawaii

DOG-con t t from page 11) On ecember 2Tth, the Japan tour group met at the clubhouse to see the movies that Esther and Hideo Ueno had taken in Japan. It was like going to Japan allover again. Really a work of a professional. Narrator was "Blue" Nagasaki. Thank you Esther and Hide for a pleasan evening reminiscing our trip to Japan.

Dog Chapter man of the year for 1971 is none other than Martin Tohara. He's the man behind the scene who's always giving a helping hand to the various chairmen. He's one chief that works hard as an Indian, that's why the wives enjoy the family nights and want them held more often. Thanks Martin, we appreciate the swell job you're doing.

The fourth group of the European tour spent an enjoyable evening at the lovely home of Yae and Albert Yokoyama in Makiki on February 5th. After a sumptuous dinner, Kiyoshi Kami and Rhoda Kawamata showed their Japan tour movies. My, sone of the scenes were like the ones you see on candid camera. Being election year, late comer Nancy Nakamura went around shaking hands with the men folks. Wonder what office she's running for. The following gals and guys were there: Alice and Kiyoshi Kami, Flora Masumotoya, Edna and Hajime Yamane, Dorothy and Martin Tohara, Sidney Oshiro, Rhoda and Charlie Kawamata, Mrs. Ishida, Miyoki Yokoyama, Yoshi and Conrad Tsukayama, Nancy and Bob Nakamurs, Kenji and Helen Nikaido. Thank you Yae and Albert, we all had a very nice time. The next get-to-gether is planned for after summer, that is, if Hajime catches enough lobster, fish, etc.

. HAWA -con't from 1~~ Hakaru Taoka, our mother chapter president, who professes to being a fan of this column, showed up to install the incoming officers and to make a pitch for the club's 30th reunion in Honolulu this summer. He got in an extra bonus in the form of a reunion with his Co. F cronies, Taku, Shima, Koba, Ernest -- he named them all.

PR man Dick Oguro was there also to drum up publicity for the souvenir program booklet, saying he'd like to feature a few first person typ~ of stories -- a recounting of incidents from out of the past such as the night on the torpedoes Royal T. Frank transport, or the time we got our nose bloodied at Alife, or perhaps a Roman holiday with a La Doce Vita signorina on the Via Nazionale -- you name it. Too many of these commando stories are locked up in one's storehouse of memory -- coming to light only at elbow bending time and it's time they were documented for posterity's sake.

The Honorable Mayor was the only one there with a lei, compliments of a YBA group in an adjoining banquet room from where he had to make a hurried exit in time to sample the dessert on our side of the table.

He displayed a gold key chain saying the folks next door presented it to him as a reminder of a recent parking ticket citation he received from an eager beaver rookie copy for leaving his ignition key on in his parked Cadillac. And in the County parking stall, yet.

He reminded the boys that "sometimes when nights are long and restless sleep is difficult to overcome, think back of the fantastic contribu­tion you have made to the community, the State and the nation. Recog­nizeyour place in history. Remember what you have done for our first generation parents -- for all of us."

We trust that speech brought on a flood of unsolicited orders for our new yellow jacket Club 100 shirts from the out-of-towners who didn't make our Christmas party.

Shigerll Ushijima announced that this summer's Hawaii Chapter's Japan tour is definitely on and is open to all friends of Club 100. Optional tours to a few other exotic cities of the Orient is included and will leave Hilo June 18 and end July 18.

There must be something extra special on a Japan trip that does some­thing to one's red corpuscles that the brochures don't mention. We noticed Masao Koga and Ernest Enomoto who jouneyed to the land of their ancestors taking on a new bounce as they approach the bar for a

refill, that certainly did not corne from making pilgrimages to their mother Hongwanji church.

So if you're not going to Colorado like we are this summer, better call Shigeru or Harry Oda for particulars.

Meanwhile go see some Hibari movies and bone up on them English subtitles and better experiment with the shutter speed on your Nikkon.

Yasuo Iwasaki introduced the guests comprising the Pahoa Anthurium Growers Association, saying it was high time we showed our apprecia­tion and expressed our thank s to them for donating their flowers to decorate the graves of our fallen buddies at memorial services time.

As to not getting a lei and the bussing that goes with it they seemed to care less.

Members who showed up with or without their spouses were: Charlie Brenamen, Eugene Eguchi, Ernest Enomoto, Hiroo Furuya, Ken Hamada, Larry Hirokawa, ·Susumu Hata, Sanji Ishimaru, Yasuo Iwasaki, Shigeru Ito, George Inouye, Katsuto Kutsunai, Takao Miyao, Richard Miyashiro, Harry Oda, Taku Okajima, George Taketa, Hayato Tanaka, Larry Tanimoto, Kazuma Taguch i, Seijin Takayesu, Shigeru Tokuuke, Motoyoshi Tanaka, Shinsuke Shimabukuro, Shigeru Ushijima, Stanley Ushijima, Wallace Yamagata, Tarush Yamamoto, Kazunobu Yamamoto, Dugan Yonemori and who else did I miss? Thought I saw Poker Joe Kawaoka or a reasonable facsimile of him.

The guest list included : Mayor Shunichi Kimura, the Albert Nishimuras, the Yuki Takeyas, the Shigeydshi Shindos, Hakaru Taoka, Dick Oguro, Dav id Pacheco, the Stanley Taguchis, the Shunichi Hatadas, the Mits Sumadas, t he Akeshi Hashirnotos, the Hiroshi Kawazoes, the James Kuwahara s , the Yoso Kuwaharas, the Haruo Tairas, the Tanji Yasukochis, and the Stanley Oishis.

From where we stand it looks as though George Inouye would· have to name himself as Installation Night Committee chairman for a repeat performance next year.

December 2, 1971

Didn't really want to put the date on this because it's too much of an indictment.

Please relay our sincere apologies for being so very rudely t a rdy in sending you and all the good people of the Club 100 our grateful thanks for all the yum-yum candy leis. We used them for the children's birthday party. Each birthday child got her own and the balance paired off in partners and had to se i~ ch for them and come back to the START 2 in the lei. They :.ad a ball.

The clothes which you sent were packed so nicely and they were in such beautiful condition. It was a pleasure to put them to good use. Thank you all so very much.

The children are getting the Xmas spirit. We are thrilled at the news of 2 Soldier S ~ ntas who will be coming from Schofield to spend Xmas with us.

Once again, thank you and a Big God bless you all.

Gratefully,

sil Mary Patrick

Men's Fellowship

January 14, 1972

In behalf of the Men's Fellowship, I would like to report to you on the status ot the Fellowship project to collect Primo empties; a project that was started to make available needed cash as a means to assist the church in any way possible. The project was started two years ago and during that span, about 1,900 cases of Primo empties have been turned in to the Primo plant at Aiea, swelling the Fellow­ship treasury by more than $800.

This cash has been used for such things as buying shirts to out­fit our entry in the inter-church young men basketball league; buying miscellaneous athletic equipment; providing small amounts of cash, five to ten dollars, to help tide over those needy people who have been referred, in emergency situation, to the church by the State Department of Social Services; providing cash assistance to members attending religious conferences; replacing basketball nets in the gym as they wear out; providing funds to buy things for some church celebrations; and so forth. Over $300 remains in the Fellowship bank account at present.

The Men's Fellowship would like to thank you for your kokua in accumulating and turning-in Primo empties to the church. And please extend our thanks to your friends who help; not only those who drink the stuff, but also to the distaff members for it is they who pick up empties at the beaches and the parks and from roadways and

"tal~ up" the project in behalf of the church.

Sincerely,

BEN TAMASHI~

GREEN THUMB CLUB By Edna

The year 1971 closed with our successful annual Orchid Show and Plant Sale held in November. Not only did the Green Th~mb Club fare well, members who sold their plants made some profit, too.

The Green Thumbers were well represented at the Honolulu Orchid Society's annual banquet on January 22, 1972 at the Coral Ballroom, Hilton Hawaiia,n Village Hctel. Club members occupied two tables at this affair - Kazuo Kamemoto was in charge of banquet tickets.

Ken Suehiro, "Mister Affable," bas been elected president for this year. Other officers are Edna Sakamoto as Vice President, Dorothy Tomasa, Secretary and Yoshito Aimoto, Treasurer.

Bob Aoki and Malrjong Yoshimura volunteered to purchase community pots and nurture the seedlings to repotable stage. The Club is indeed fortunate to have these two experts assume this responsi­bility as it is only with their professional skill can the members enjoy growing orchids.

Leighton Sumida will be ·chairman for the annual steak dinner to be held at the clubhouse on July 3rd. Arthur Komiyama is looking into the possibility o~ ,a dinner meeting sometime soon. So, it is not only "work" but plenty of delectable food and fun for all.

New green thumber for February is Torao Ichimura - welcome to. the club, Torao!

CLUB 100 GOLF NEWS By Eugene

Yes, the winner of the "Banana Trophy for 1971" won the February Ace at Barber's Point Golf Course with 83-13=70. Long, long winter but it's sure good to win again! Who's the guy? Who else but Eugene Kawakami.

Larry AmazaKi, 82-9=73 and Frank Fujiwara, 89-16=73 came in 2nd for 4 balls each. Now tied for 4th place and one ball each were Fuzzy Fuji~ori, 92-18=74, Wilfred Fujishige, 85-11=74 and Kazuto Shimizu, 89-15=74. Jimmy Oshiro, 84-8=76 was in 7th and . the last place for ball prize.

in the match against par tournament for the Waipahu Inn Trophy, Eugene Kawakami was 2 up to take first place. What? Again? We~l, what do you think? You guys give 'em the "Banana Trophy." He no like to be called "banana." Anyway, you guys good to him and let him win sometime. Thanks huh!

In second place was Frank Fujiwara, 1 up and 5 balls. Wilfred Fujishige was even with par and 3 balls. Tied for 4th place and one ball each were Larry Amazaki, Fuzzy Fujimori, Roy Miyashiro, Stan "Tak Tak" Takahashi and Lefty Taniguchi, :;. down. Like I always say before, if you like to win balls - go practice some more. Especially the putts!

You know somethin'? One foursome, on the 15th hole - par 5, got 14, 12, 11, and 6. Here's what I'm told - "Doc" Tokufuji took 14, Mits Omori got 12, Tak Takahashi finished with 11 and Bob Kodowaki was the top man with 6. How about that! "The out-of-bounds stakes in the wrong place, they say."

What's your gripe? Too many keawe trees! Too many out-of-boun,d stakes! They got the sand traps in the wrong place! The wind too strong. First time I play at Barber's Point! I missed too many putts! My handicap too low! I came home late last nite! What else? Well, any alibi is better than none.
