WELCOME “SAINT”

WEDNESDAY. MARCH 29 1961

TORONTO.—“The people call
me a “Saint” and I’m not even
dead yet.” quipped the Reverend
H. Kano in an address—puncuated by flashes of bright wittic­
ism like the above—during a
TJCCA-sponsored welcome party
held last Friday evening at the
Nikko Garden. He was welcomed
by the new president of the
TJCCA, Mr. G-eorge Takahashi.
The Rev. Kano’s first official
meeting on his Canadian itinerary
on Saturday evening drew over
500 profoundly impressed people.
He spoke with much eloquence
and sincerity, and interlaced
throughout with a vigor and
energy’- that belied his 72 years.
Although 'his speech went over
the allotted time, the audience
never tired and seemed to want
him to continue indefinitely. The
Reverend Ken Imai of the Tor­
onto Japanese Anglican Church
acted as chairman.

At this two part meeting—
first half in Japanese and the
second in English—the Reverend
Kano was eloquently introduced
to the audience by the publisher
of The Ne-w Canadian, Mr. T.
Umezuki. Japanese Consul I. Katakami expressed his deep ap­
preciation for the g'ood Rever­
end’s visit, and the closing bless­
ing was off ered by Dr. K. Shimi­
zu of the Toronto Japanese Unit­
ed Church.
