Want to live long? Get fat, says Japanese research team
TOKYO — In a complete reversal of the well-accepted fact that being
fat is unhealthy, a research study conducted by a Japanese medical
school team found that old people who are fat are likely to live longer
than slim elderly people. Hideaki Toyoshima, associate professor at
Aichi Medical University in central Japan, and a group of public health
specialists conducted physical exams on a group of persons 65 years
of age and older in Aichi Prevecture.
The medical school team did the routine medical exams in Miyoshi,
a suburb of Nagoya with a population of 28,000, including about 1,500
elderly people. The researchers checked records at the end of 1982 and

found that 43 people out of the group of 744 old people that had com­
plete medical data on had died.
Using the data from the earlier medical exams, the researchers look­
ed for correlations between factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol
sugar and uric acid levels, and longevity.

A high level of cholesterol, which is a fat, in the blood is generally
considered unhealthy, but the researchers found that the group of old
people with the highest levels of cholesterol had the highest survival
rate. The group that had an average cholesterol level of 177 milligrams in
100 cubic centimeters of blood has a survival

NAJC President
Miki say Redress
brief “Democracy
Betrayed” ready
WINNIPEG — In a recent
NAJC update, President Art
Miki reports that the release
of National Executive Com­
mittee's redress brief “De­
mocracy Betrayed” has been
delayed because of the re­
cent elections. The brief is
reported ready and -will be
released soon.
The group's strategy was
to meet with all the political
party leaders prior to the elec­
tion. On Friday, August 17,
1984, the president attended
a meeting of Liberal candi­
dates and ethnic leaders in
Winnipeg, where he met John
Turner briefly. A meeting was
tentatively scheduled for
Sunday, August 26, 1984 with
John Turner in Vancouver at
his Quadra riding headquar­
ters. Meetings with Brian
Mulroney and Ed Broadbent
have not been finalized al­
though many contacts-have

Bakappei
and other
words
By BILL MARUTANI
It's funny how one hears
words as a child and as the
years go by simply assumes
that the words are hyojun-go
(standard words or language).
It wasn't until
I was in my
college years |
• that J discov­
ered, much to ;
my dismayed
surprise, that
there were no
such words
as eto (‘much’
in Hiroshima-ben), chibitto
(‘tiny’ or ‘very little’) or the
phrase ha-ga hashiru (tooth­
ache) or hara-ga nigaru
(stomach ache) would be un­
derstood only by another Hiroshima-ken-jin. There were a’
few phrases that I heard as a
child that I knew were Hiroshima-ben, such as ko-gyan
suke. To this day, though, I'm
hot sure just what that
means. I have only a vague,
sense of its meaning.
All of which brings us to

date. However, a meeting
with Jack Murta, multicultu­
ralism critic for the Pro­
gressive Conservatives, was
arranged for August 22.
The purpose of these meet­
ings was to familarize our
leaders on the structure of
the NAJC, its position on
redress and try to establish
a commitment for a date to
present the Brief after elec­
tion.
The fund-raising informa­
tion has been prepared by the
committee consisting of
Roger Obata, Elmer Hara and
Gordon Kadota with sugge­
sted activities and the pro­
jected allottment for each
centre. A redress brochure is
now ready and can be used as
public relations material for
soliciting donations. These
will be sent to the centres
very shortly by Roger Obata.
Mr. Miki reports that there
have been some articles pub­
lished in the Canada Times,
namely an interview with
David Collenette, ex-Minister
of State for Multiculturalism,
and an article by George Imai cultural show at centre stage.

Miki added.

ese, a cholesterol level of 230
milligrams to 250 milligrams
is considered the maximum
safe level.
“It is generally thought that
middle-aged and old people
who eat too much fatty food
are likely to suffer from cir­
culatory problems and heart
attacks,” said Toyoshima.
“I surmise, however, that
fat affects the health of mid­
dle-aged and old people diffe­
rently,” he added. “In the
case of the aged, sufficient
nutrition, which may mean
eating more fat, may lead to
longevity.”
Toyoshima will present the
group's finding at the annual
convention of the Japanese
Society of Public Health in
Osaka this October.

Canadians who, during the
Second World War, were forci­
bly removed from their Pacific
Coast homes, interned and, in
many cases, stripped of their

Pierre Trudeau contemptu­

use “this special day” to offer a

But an all-party Commons task

John Turner has favored an
attempt to “redress” the injus­

of paper with many kanji
characters in neat blocks.
The player would circle the
lucky characters with a fude
or any black marker. Then in
a week or so, (s)he'd learn
the results: the paper would
come back.with holes neatly
punched in it — the holes
usually missing the blocks
that had been circled by the
player the week before. We
guessed then, and we stick
by that guess to this date,
that the more kanji characters
that the player circled, and
hit, the more okane (s)he
received.
There were other forms
of games-pf-chance that un­
doubtedly drew some Issei,
but we only heard about them:
we never did see one. Usually,
it was supposed to be in the
city (Seattle) at some secret
club, and those antenna
would hear words such as
oyaji and kinpachi. In our
farming community, we were
not aware of any specific
Issei who was squandering
his (usually limited) resour­
ces in the gambling dens.
Presumably there were some,
but community taboo and our
own isolation and youth did
not expose us to such infor-

mation. We were taught, how­
ever, that bakuchi was an ac­
tivity to be avoided.
But try avoiding bakuchi—
in the form of poker or the roll
of dice-when you're in the
army. In our innocence, we
received our first baptism
of fire (translated: “getting
burned”) down in the rec­
room of the barracks where a
hot dice game was going on
the pool table. The dice were
clicking in eager hands, the
paper money was flying
about, some of it being clut­
ched in large wads in some­
one's hand. Heady stuff for
an inaka boy. We had just
completed basic infantry train­
ing and had risen to the grand
rank of private first-class with
a commensurate leap in the
monthly stipend — was it a
“fin” a month? Well, to make
a sad story short, the rest of
that month we had to borrow
for essentials such as tooth­
paste. Once was more than
enough.

—- The Globe and Mail

But we still don't know the
etymology of bakappei. Un­
doubtedly there are a number
of sophisticated, city-slicker
types out there who have the
answer.
