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.

The Club 100 Tour Group will leave Honolulu on Setember 30, 1962 by Pan American Jet which will accommodate 159 of us happy travelers. The complete itineraries and the time schedule will be mailed out to the members as soon as they are available. 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. JAPAN TOUR The Committee is working very hard to make this Autumn tour a grand success.
