man who can smile when things
go wrong has thought of some­
one he can blame, it on.”

And if you operate in an of­
fice with a hierarchy of com­
mand, this will sound all-too-familiar to you: “The inevitable
result of improved and enlarged
communication between different
levels and hierarchy is a vastly
increased area of misunderstan­
ding.”

And as to those meetings and
conferences: “The usefulness of
any meeting is in inverse proportion to the attendance.”

ber nearly right.” And:
“The
probability of any happening is
in inverse ratio to its desirabili­
ty.” (As many losing poker play­
ers sadly learn.)
Take, for example, my wind­
shield wiper. It always streaks
just at my eye-level. Clean and
clear as squeaky glass can’ be
both above and below eye-level.
And for the typesetter setting
these words, here’s one: “Type­
setters always correct intentio­
nal errors, but always
fail to'
correct
unintentional
ones.”
iSome years ago in ..preparing
for a major case in court, I had
carefully prepared my file in ad­
vance with a separate folder for
each witness to take the stand.
After a break for lunch, I retur­
ned to the courtroom to resume
presenting my witnesses,
the.

the key: the expert testimony I
had meticulously prepared with
careful notes to myself. I reach­
ed into my bag, and. you guessed
it: the folder was missing. My
entire case hinged on the testi­
mony of this expert. So what
else could I doebut, as they say,
“Wing it”? (We won, but not
without considerable perspiration
on my part.)
I think our Issei parents sum­
med it all up in one universal
phrase: shikata-ga-nai.

Then
there’s the

principle of audit accounting, so­
metimes known as “The $172.43

this: “Auditors always

For you young swains with a

The Mayedas did . a brisk bu­
siness, even during the Depre­
ssion, at their Church
Street
Shop which featured a wide as­
sortment of oriental merchandi­
se. Antique dealers, New York
merchants and people from . all
walks of life, including actress
Katharine Hepburn, patronized
the store.

She says her greatest .thrill
came in 1976 when she
was
selected “Twentieth Century Pil­
grim” by the American Revolu­
tion' Bicentennial 'Committee in
recognition of her maty contri­
butions and acts of charity. She
helped Gov. Grasso plant a Ja­
panese cherry tree on the'capitol ’
grounds Aug. 3, 1976.

Her face lights up when re­
calling what she
describes as
Hartford’s “trolley car period”
of the 1930s, when there was
little shoplifting, when she could leave her store in charge of
■a customer to slip next door for
a soda, and when people would
pass by each other every day
and say “hello, hello.”
Pearl Harbor, of course, transformed -the trusting mood into
one of suspicion and apprehenmorning
sion. Early the next
after the bombing, Mrsr Mayeda
withdrew her bank savings and
gave them to the Rev. Walter
Casey, pastor of St. Luke’s Chu­
rch.
“If they put me in
camp I
want you to use this money to
take care of my three children,”
she remembers telling him.

Last year, she was honored again with a certificate of appre­
ciation and City of Hartford me­
dallion awarded her by the Mayor’s All-American Council, of
which she is a member.

Despite the priest’s assuran­
ces He had nothing to
worry
about, Mrs. Mayeda was appre­
hensive and almost immediately

Her life in America has been
fulfilling and her endeavors kind­
ly rewarded. Her family, espe­
cially appreciates the bounds of
her generosity and are proud of
her.
Francis Mayeda, one son, lives
in Rocky Hills, and runs a me­
chanical
contracting business.

Daughter, Arleen, lives
Mrs. Mayeda and works for a

Said daughter, Joan, “I hope to~ be like, her and I hope
some day I will learn to live
with her motto in mind — ‘Go­
