It to a apod policy a
tai* the RIGHT POLICY

TORONTO. —. As in-1974, the J.C. Cultural Centre, as a community venture, is taking part in the very successful Metro
International- Caravan from June 22 to July 1, as -Tokyo Pavilion.
Incidentally, ours was one of the most popular pavilions attracting
35,000 visitors last year.
.
.
- A requirement of participation is that each pavilion have a
“Princess” to act as its hostess as well as to represent her commu­
nity in the . selection of Miss Caravan ‘75.
To find Miss Tokyo, as she will be called, we are asking vario­
us community organizations to submitt a; candidate. .- She must be
single,- and of Japanese origin. She should,' as much as possible, be.
in attendance at pur pavilion each day . during Caravan. .
As an incentive to the organization a monetary prize of $200
will be forwarded to the candidates sponsoring group, -if the representing girl wins_jthe “Miss Tokyo” contest.
7
r
^Candidate’s name is to be submitted by April 19. She will need
to attend the “Princess Ball”, on Saturday, April 26, (8 pm. — 1
am.) in long dress at the Cultural Centre where the final selection
will be made by a panel of judges.
A representative' of the Caravan Committee' of the Cultural
Centre will be in touch with you shortly regarding your possible
participation and to provide further details.
.We are looking forward to your support and sharing in this
annual Metro Toronto event which will give a boost to our. commu— J.C.C. Centre
nity and win us many, many- new. friends.

To Celebrate United Church 50th Year
TORONTO. — 1975 is the 50th anniversary of the United Chu­
rch of Canada and it is appropriate for i s to give thanks to God,
I can still picture in my mind that gracious deaconess Florence
Bird coming to our home when I was sick. Miss Bird was a kindly
woman with a smile.
1
~
_
Then there was Mr. Washimoto, who was our Sunday School tea:
cher. He waT 65 when he hiked with ‘tts juniorsto Grouse Moun­
tain. The” descent was fun and fast. The sloping= trail covered, with
pine needles was a ready made-slide. On Sundays Mr. Washimoto
taught us the Christian faith in Japanese and I think we learned
something even though we were a mischievous, bunch. .
.
.
.Vacation church school beside the lake in Kaslo was another
memorable experience. The evacuation was a bitter experience for
our parents. Yet there' was a statement by Dr. Shimizu at the
Bible study which meant a great detl to me. One Bible character
was -the spoilt teenager .Joseph-who Liter became Prime Minister.
Dr? Shimizu in reference to Joseph said, ‘ He turned misfortune
into opportunity, and he forgave hi® brothers.” The evacuation was
a misfortune. Yet it was more. It fbecame an opportunity for. us
later on. J; just remembered that three of the. helpers at this vaca­
tion churchsehool in Kaslo were James Kai, Dr. Roy Shinobu and
Dick Takimoto.
Over thirty years have passed since the evacuation, lap 4Mi
quarter of a century is-up to us Nisei and the younger generation.
Let us give thanks to the pioneers the Issei and-all who. are still
contributing to the life of the dhurch.-There are many more names
I can mention who have served very faitfully- On the 50th Amuv.
ersary of our United Church we give thanks to God for all fa-rhful workers. Let us press on.
