Blue Nagasaki is always good for sev eral stories. Read about Able Chapter dOings and fishing club activities by Blue. And his report on the Club 100 Farrant Turner Invitational Softball league.
Which leads us to this month's editorial. Sports is certainly a big picture in the activities of Club 100 members, so we felt that a baseball article would be most appropriate.

On this issue I would like to mention something about the unique service at Japan's friendly "Ryokan" or "Inn". The ryokan or Japanese-style hotel with its charac teristic structure showing Japan's architectual tradition plus courteous service offered by kimono-clad maids attract many foreign travelers. It should be re minded that every guest including women and children are required to remove their shoes and use slippers provided for their use when walking through the corridors on the way to and from their room. These slippers, however, are dis carded upon entering the room. The rooms in the ryokan have developed from former days when guests were lodged in a large hall partitioned off by small movable screens. It is also not unusual for a group of four or more persons to s hare one room. That is possibly one of the reasons why the charge can be com plicated and difficult to understand by the foreign visitors. Although the chefs at the ryokan generally cook Japanese food, western-style cuisine can be had if the guest so desires just by specifically asking for it. On entering your room the maid provides guests with a drink of green tea and Manjus then asks the guest if he wishes to take a bath and change into a fresh and clean kimono. All ryokans offer private baths although group .bathing is more common to the majority. In some ryokans mixed baths is also available and I am sure that our Paisanos will enjoy it. Bedding is provided with the use of traditional "futon". However, with the r e markable improvement and development of the rubber industry in spring mattresses, it gives a somewhat Similarity in comfort to the western style bed. You really don't have to worry about the back ache.

James Miyano E~H.rl.I-SPRIN8 F~ER - STRIKEI No. It's not the shipowners vs seamen, nor the unions vs the pineapple companies, nor any of the knotty labor-management impasse.
'Tis the true harbinger of spring, that wonderful world of kids from six to sixty, the delight of soda pop and hot dog and ice cream vendors, the passion of writers and broadcasters. It is that dream of every American lad - the full swing at a horsehide missile. Itriocking it over the fence; not going down to that fatal call of "STRIKE THREEI YOU'RE OUTI"
We do not know when or under what circumstance baseball was first indroduced to . Hawaii but we do know that the first Congregationalist missionaries arrived in Hawaii in 1820, and that the first regulation ball game under the rules invented by Abner Doubleday was played in Cooperstown, New York, in 1839. Since the missionaries gOt tabbed with everything else, we can conjecture that the introduc tion of baseball to the Hawaiian scene must have been another device of the mis sionaries to control the Hawaiians, at least 18 of them during the progress of a ball game, anyway. We can also imagine the cOnsternation and bewilderment as the first game was being played near the old taro flats of Waikiki, with the feather ed ducks as the main spectators way out in left field: "Auwel What those crazy haoles up to nowl"
Of course, the idea of batting an object with the end of a stick is not original with Abner Doubleday, or anyone else for that matter. It is something that comes nat urally to all kids. But it took this guy Doubleday to fashion the individual actions of playing with sticks and stones into the game of baseball as we know it today.
Modern day baseball is surrounded and entwined in all the glamor of our times, from the hoop-de-do of home run king Roger Maris to the new 56,000 seat $18 million home of the Dodgers in Chavez Ravine. But despite all the trappings at the national level, baseball essentially belongs to the young people; the young people whom Abner Doubleday must have had in mind when he devised the rules of baseball. For it is at this age level that baseball is most fun, because here is the heart of America: millions of young peopie actually playing the games.
In Hawaii, baseball is no Llifferent from that of the 48 contiguous states (we do not know the situation in Alaska). School, sandlot, and community diamonds form the backbone of baseball in our islands. But we are getting sophisticated too. For we now have the Islanders - a pro team of our ownl Nothing finer could have hap pened to baseball in Hawaii, for the Islanders provide the glamor which has become a necessary part of the I!:am e . Ir I!:ives our youngsters a target to shoot at. For each fast breaking pitCh, each hit, every fancy catch on the sandlot diamonds is but a testing and feeding ground for teams like the Islanders.
But baseball serves us in many another way: development of a keen sense of competition and fair play, the fun of winning and the letdown of losing, and a sourse of Ins.piration - those human feelings so Vitally necessary for the full growth of the young at heart, all wrapped up in Abner Doubleday's creation. And as we watch these kids at play, we cannot help but feel young again. For spring is here.
And even in Hawaii where the seasonal transitions are hardly noticeable baseball adds something to the spring equinox. For baseball in the spring now ~eans the Islanders also. For this, we owe a wave of the bat to Nick Morgan, Jr., and Chinn Ho. May the umpire's call of "PLAY BALL!" bring many a pleasure to both ,these gentlemen. It has to ,the rest .of us, because fO~,we who now sit o.~t the game In the stands the umpire s unequivocal bellow of STRIKE THREE always takes us back ~o our turn at home plate - a place from which we all must first start. - EDITOR
20th Anniversary Luau & Convention
On June 4th or thereabout of each year, the Club lOO holds its Annual Luau to renew old acquaintances. It was on this very day in 1942 that approximately 1,400 strong of the 100th Infantry Battalion were transported half way around the world to battle for freedom on the European Theatre.

The tag, "imports" were originally used by the New York distributors of foreign films. The carefully selected films from various foreign countries were channeled to the mushrooming art theatres across the nation, after initial showings in the New York area. Critics' comments and reviews, especially by the Gotham writers, were very important to the success of these pictures. Special attention and and unusual treatments were necessary in publicizing and advertising these "imports". The more discriminating picture-goers of Honolulu were first offered a regular screening of foreign films a few years back when the Palace theatre began a series of Wednesday screenings. Some notable "imports" were shown then, and necessarily, a certain amount of duds, too. But, even the poorer films, because of their unusual techniques, flavor and uniqueness proved to be ipteresting and worth sitting through to "fin". Honolulu's elusive picture policy shifted the "import" base to the Queen theatre. And for longer dating of each one, usually a week, with the "box-office bonanzas" enjoying an extended run. Occasionally, re-issue prints of distinguished sub-titlers were brought back to the University of Hawaii campus theatre. A flood of foreign-made films are now being distributed by the American com panies. It has become quite a task for the average moviegoer to distinguish these from the Hollywood-film variety. Many foreign movies are dubbed-in with English dialogue for mass appeal. Quite a few are re-edited and "chopped-up" to an excrciating end. Significant imports and foreign films of top calibre are still carefully handled and distributed via the art house route in their original versions with English sub titles. The much-publicized "Two Women", Vittorio De Sica's film starring Sophia Loren was shown locally in the English-dubbed print. Enjoyed it thoroughly, and now, I would like to see the Italian version with sub-titles. Joe Levine, handling the Amer ican release, is offering the sub-titled print in the more selective theatres on the mainland. A French version of Bardot's "A Woman Like Satan" played recently. This, after the English dubbed version, which was shown some years ago. How would like to sit through a Japanese samurai epic, for instance, with dubbedpin dialogue in English.

One night, a trio of charactdrs, ignoring the more normal and ordinary bits of small talk around the other tables in the cozy cafe, became at once deeply involved in the endless pros and cons of films and filmmakers.
