    seopaf gamf B'J/ RfcboR:O s. ogaRa St. I 96826 ~~~~~~~~ THE JAPANESE-AMERICAN CREED Mike Masaoka I am proud that I a m an American citizen of Japanese ancestry, for my very background make me appreciate more fully the wonderful advantages of this Nation, I believe in her institutions, ideals, and traditions; I glory in her heritage; I boast of her history; I trust in her future. She has granted me liberties and opportunities such as no individual enjoys in this world today. She has given me an education befitting kings. She has entrusted me with the responsibilities of the fra nchise. She has permitted me to build a home, to earn a livelihood, to worship, think, speak, and act as I please- as a free man equal to every other man. Although some individuals may discriminate against me, I shall never become bitter or lose faith, for I know such persons are not representative of the majority of the American people. True, I shall do all in my power to discourage such practices, but I shall do it in the American way; above board, in the open, through courts of law, by education, by proving myself to be worthy of equal treatment and consideration. I am firm in my belief that American sportsmanship and attitudes of fair play will judge citizenship and patriotism on the basis of action and achievement, and not on the basis of physical characteristics. Because I believe in America, and I trust she believes in me, and because I have received innumerable benefits from her, I pledge myself to do honor to her at all times and all places; to support her constitution; to obey her laws, to respect her flag; to defend her against all enemies, foreign or domestic, to actively assume my duties and obligations as a citizen, cheer­ fully and without any reservations whatsoever, in the hope that I may become a better American in a great America.

(Anacardiaceae). Their chemical struc- tures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data and X-ray analysis. Among them, three flavo- noids exhibited almost identical antioxidative activity as that of α-tocopherol by the ferric thiocyanate method. In addition, one flavonoid showed a stronger radical-scavenging effect on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl- hydrazyl than that of α-tocopherol.

Many signs are written both in Japanese and English (especially in sightseeing areas). However, most Japanese CAN’T speak English. If you need to talk to them, you need to speak REALLY slowly. It might help to write things down. Things written down in Japanese are really great, like addresses or common words that you might want to ask about. For example, you could ask someone to write down the kind of food that you’d like to find and show it to locals, and write down the name of your hotel in Japanese.
