Tokyo Pavilion for Caravan
’82 came second this year
breaking a two-year winning
streak, but they did win a first
in the Best Exterior Award.
The Best Pavilion Award
went this year to the Latvian
community's Riga pavilion,
and- pretty Cathy Harasymchuk, 22, the Ukrainian's
Kiev pavilion' princess was
crowned Miss Caravan ’82.
The announcements were
made recently at the Annual
Caravan Awards Dinner held
at the Royal York Hotel with
some 2,000 people attending.
Walter Cifersons, mayor of
the Riga pavilion, was named
Caravan's Mayor of the Year.
Best all-round entertainment
award went to Kiev.
The award for the pavilion
that offered the best food
was won by Novgorod. The
top prize for interior theme
was won by Vilnius.
Leon Kossar, Caravan's
president, said the more than
2 million visits to the 44
Caravan pavilions this year
shows people look forward to
the event. This year's festi
val lasted for 9 days.
“Most pavilions have repor

3 in 5 Think Japan Could
Be Involved in War: Survey
TOKYO — Three in every
five Japanese think there is
a possibility of Japan being
involved in war, according to
a government survey conducted to study public attitudes
toward national defense and
the Self-Defense Forces
(SDF).
The figure represents a 16
percent increase from two
preceding public opinion
polls taken in December 1978
and October 1975, in which
44 percent of the respond
ents saw such a possibility.
The latest survey was taken
between last Dec. 14 and 20. A
total of 3,000 persons chosen
at random throughout the
country were interviewed,
Despite increased public
concern about the danger of
Japan's involvement in war,
66 percent of the respondents assessed the Japan-U.S.
Security Treaty as cohtributing to thepeace and security
of Japan. And 12% thought
it was not, while 22 percent
had no opinion. These f[gures
remain unchanged since the
previous survey in December
1978.
Asked what Japan should
do to assure its security, six
percent of the respondents
said it should scrap the treaty
and strengthen the SDF to
defend the nation by itself.
And 65 percent said Japan
should maintain both the
security treaty and the SDF
while 7 percent wanted to
scrap the treaty and reduce
the size of the SDF or dis
