Over 225 attend Lillooet Reunion in Steveston
<

STEVESTON, B.C. — Over
225r former Lillooet residents
and their spouses exchanged
nostalgic, greetings on October 10, 1981 at the Steveston
Buddhist Church Hall. People
from as far away as Toronto,
Ottawa, northern and interior
B.C. came tb meet their former friends
Undoubtedly, each had one
thought in mind — “How

much has he or she changed
in the last 30 years?” When
the actual encounter was
made, they all came to the'
same conclu^ion -everyone
wasvery we I Lpreserved, due,
no doubt, to some magic
potion in those iuscioustomatoes.
'
The friendly outlook still
prevailed and there was more
than one chuckle when the

celebrants saw themselves in
the knee-high pants~and pigtails shown in thephotographic exhibit.
Two cakes, appropriately
decorated with red tomatoes,
were cut by Mr. Ichijiro Tana­
ka, the eldest former-resident
at 95 years, and Mr. Fukujiro
Koyama, one of the original
residents that relocated to
Lillooet

The highlight of the eveni ng was the array of Japanese
gourmet dishes which in
eluded delectable sashimi,
Fraser River spring salmon
teriyaki,^ succulent shrimps,
tempura, a variety of osushi
and many Chinese dishes,
The eyes of the beholder held
more than the stomach could
accomodate. Many people
went home even happier after

winning the numerous door
prizes that were generously
donated by the former residents.
There was a photograph
taken earlier in the day by one
of the attendees, showing the
site of the East Lillooet settlement and the bridge to
Lillooet.

bladder stones |
By Antonio Kamiya
TOKYO — Japanese doc­
tors have developed an explo­
sive new technique to aid the
millions of people in the
world who suffer from painful
bladder stones.
The two man team of prof.
Hiroki Watanabe and Jiis assist­
ant Koursake Watanabe of
the Kyoto University of Medi­
cine spent five years perfect­
ing a way to blast the bladder
stones to smithereens - just
like quarry stones although bn
an infinitesimal scale called
“micrpexplosion systolithripsy.”
The treatment involves
placing a tiny dose of. chemi­
cal explosive — lead azide —
into the face of the stone and
blasting it into pieces small
enough to be washed from
the bladder. '
“It was a complete suc­
cess,” Hiroki Watanabe said

in describing recent clinical
tests on two patients who
were afflicted with bladder
stones:
“Both operations proved
safe, without complications,”
Watanabe, a leading urologist,
said in an interview.
After repeated experiments
on animals, the first clinical
test came in September this
year when the Watanabe team

Mitsu Iwasaki of Kam­
loops, B.C. passed? away
here on January 11, 1982.
Survived by one daughter,
Mrs. Yasu Iwasaki of Kamloops, 5 grandchildren,
and 8 great-grandchildren.
Funeral service held at
Kamloops Buddhist Church
oh January 15, 1982 with
the Rev. N. Taniyama offi­
ciating. Cremation. Mac­
Leod Funeral Home.

The designers, Isuzu Mo­
tors in which General Motors
holdsa large stake, and Kyoto
Ceramics., said the engine
was of a entirely new type
which did not need a cooling
system.
The engine was built with
‘ fine ceramics, made of nitride
silicon treated by intense
heat. This allows the engine
to use fuel more effectively.
The U.S. space shuttle Co/umbia is covered with similar
ceramic tiles to prevent it
from burning up on re-entry
from space into the earth's
atmosphere.
The designers said the new
car enginecould withstand
intense heat of up to 1,400
degrees Celsius, which would
be enough to melt a metal
engine.
These two companies said
practical cost and manufac­
turing problems had to be
solved before the engine
could be mass-produced, but
they did not spell out what
these were.

Japan baseball coach sets himself on fire after player argument
TOKYO — A high school
baseball coach burned to
death on the school 's athletic
field Dec. 31 in an apparent
suicide following an argument
with his team about smoking,
police have confirmed.
Police said the body of
Yoshio Miyauchi, 35, was

found in a fire-demolished
van on the grounds of Wahimiya High School north of
Tokyo. They said he had call­
ed his wife on New Year's
eve asking her to take care of
the children and then set his
van on fire after dousing it
with kerosene.

Miyauchi, known for his
devotion to baseball, report­
edly had a falling but with
his team on Dec. 28 after he
caught six of them smoking
at a winter training camp. He

told them that he couldn't
coach, such players and said
he was quitting, police said.

High school baseball is
very popular in Japan and par­
ticularly in rural areas there
is pressure on playdrs and
coaches to win. The annual
summer national high school
tournament is viewed by
more Japanese than any
,other sports event in the
nation.
