i the dead tree started moving! It was a dragon!
; , Lord Yorinobu instantly drew his Shizu Kaneuji sword _ and
। thrusting it at the dragon’s head, exclaimed ‘You are a devil, of

~
The dragon then became motionless and changed back into
s dead tree!
It says so right here!

JCCA Scholarship Fund For Simon Fraser Student
VANCOUVER.—The Vancouver JCCA has established another
scholarship^ fund for students entering Simon Fraser University.
A sum of $100.00 will be awarded annually to a Japanese Canadian
student residing in British Columbia and proceeding from grade
XII or XIII to a full course of study at S.F.U.

This scholarship will be awarded in any one of the three
semesters in each year and will be awarded on the basis of schol­
astic ability, character, promise of achievement, and participation
^. ^tra-curricular activities. The University will canvas all ap­
plicants and decide on the person to receive the scholarship in each
year.

Donations For Gravestones Started By Van. JCCA
VANCOUVER.—Over the past number of years the Japanese
Cemetery near Cumberland has become very badly in need of
repairs. Many of the head stones are loose, there is damage from
vandalism and overgrowth of weeds as there are no Japanese
families living in the near vicinity to take care of this.

The cost of this restoration project would be in the neighbor­
hood of $1,200. We are seeking donations from family members
of the deceased and from other persons who may wish to donate.
Contributions may be sent to Rev. S. Ikuta of Vancouver Buddhist

Hand Clapping “Tops Off" Building Expo Pavilion
MONTREAL.—To the rhythmic hand clapping of Japanese
technicians of the Taisei Construction Company, the Japanese pa­
vilion at Expo ’67 was recently “topped off” in the presence of
Expo officials, civic dignitaries, and nearly 100 invited guests.
The “Tejime Shiki” or hand clapping, a tradition marking
the end of the ceremony, was proceeded by “Joto-Shiko” a Shinto
religious ceremony which goes back through more than, a thousand
years of Japanese history.
It was a melding of the old Japan with the new. Site of the
ceremony was the new, modem Japanese Pavilion while the silkrobed priest conducting the ceremony was reminiscent of the old
Japan of story-book times.
Tsutomu Kobayashi, chief engineer with Taisei Construction on
the project, pei'formed the ceremony and before coming to Canada
studied it under Shinto priests for the express purpose of this
function. Participating in the ceremony with Mr. Kobayashi were
Expo officials, and Yoshitsugu Kamei, Deputy Commissioner-Gen.eral for Japan who was the host for the occasion.
The ceremony was held in the highest exhibition floor of the
pavilion facing the St. Lawrence with Montreal s new skyline
in the background.
The main structure is built of with prestressed concrete beams
manufactured in Japan. This method allows for quick erection
and dismantling when Expo is over. The pavilion will consist of
three exhibition halls on three different levels. Visitors start at
the top and work down. On leaving the exhibition areas they can
either relax in a Japanese garden or try the restaurant where
Japanese dishes will be served.
Among the guests at this ceremony was Kahei Honma,
president of Taisei Construction who made his first trip outside
Japan to attend the topping-off.

Also with the loose head stones, there is danger of injury to
persons playing or walking through, the cemetery, as so happened
several years ago. A little girl was injured by a failing head stone.
The related family could be held legally responsible for such in­
juries.

The Vancouvei- JCCA with the Vancouver Buddhist Church
has undertaken this project to restore the Cemetery. They propose
to erect a permanent monument by gathering up all the loose
head, stones into one location. Presently, there is one suggested
by Rev. Ikuta that a permanent monument be erected around this.
The loose stones would all be cemented and further’ would be
protected by chain-and-pillar type of low fence. It is expected this
would prevent any further expensive damage or theft by vandals
and the maintenance can be handled once a year when members
of the Vancouver Buddhist Church visit the area.
