overhaul & upgrading in ’85
Sora had always dreamed of
teaching and coaching at a
high school, and now that he
has that opportunity he is go­
ing to make the best of it.
The mathematics and phy­
sical education teacher is in
his first year at Nelson High
here, and in a short period
has had a major impact on
the Lords' athletic program.
Sora, 29, guided the Lords
senior boys' volleyball team
to the Peel-Halton champion­
ship and a berth in the On­
tario Federation of Schools
Athletic Association volley­
ball tournament earlier in the
school year.
He could return to the OFSAA championship later this
season, but this time in
hockey. Sora has directed the
Nelson Flames to first place
in the Halton high school
hockey league with a 12-1-1
record for 25 points.
In his first year as head
coach of the Sheridan Bruins,
Sora had recently led the
Bruins' to an 8-7 record in
the Ontario College Athletic
Association and a share of
third place.
But it is his accomplish­
ments at Nelson that catch
the eye. He is pleased with
the success he has had, but
considers himself lucky to
have the opportunity to coach
at an institution such as
Nelson.
' “For three and a half to five
years I taught at a vocational
school and a senior public
school,” said Sora. “They
were nice kids, but it wasn't
the type of athlete I wanted
to work with.”

Earlier in the school year
Sora had quite a juggling act
going, splitting his time
coaching the Lords' volley­
ball squad along with the
Flames and Bruins.
Tired at night
“I enjoy teaching and
coaching,” explained Sora.
“Sometimes it is time con­
suming, and I am tired at
night. But it's a good tired.
It' s not work, I enjoy it. When
I was a kid I worked for my
dad's construction company
digging ditches. We dug dit­
ches from early in the morn­
ing until late into the after­
noon. Now that was work.”

EDMONTON - Dr. Shigeu (Huzinaga?) Fujinaga has been
awarded a McCalla Professorship for 1985-86. This award
will enable him to apply more time towards research on the
use of computers in chemistry — in particular, large scale
parallel processing computers.
He was awarded the Alberta Achievement Award in 1982.
He also won a literary prize in Japan for a novel in 1970's.

“I don't like people who try to ex­
ploit this issue,” Matsui told the New

same thing my parents heard and I

ment camps.”
Rep. Mike Lowry of Washington
said that lacocca's speech had “a
strident nationalistic tone that I
didn't like.”
lacocca sent a conciliatory letter
to Matsui March 3. “I don't want to

characterize it as a capitulation be­
cause it wasn't,” Matsui told the
Times. “He apologized for my feel­
ings. My feeling was, when a promin­
ent person like Lee lacocca gives a
speech like that—he's credible—it
could affect my son, my family, and
those like us. And I can't sit back
and tolerate that.”
In contrast to Matsui, Rep. Nor­
man Mineta of California said he was
“not that upset” by lacocca's
remarks. “You can deal as forcefully
with this issue without crossing that
threshold of being characterized as a
racist.”

Japan pushing into biotech
field with “soya sauce factor”
TOKYO — Biotechnology
is the vanguard in Japan.
Some call it genetic engineer­
ing, others refer to it as the
“soy sauce factor” here,
because Kikkoman Corp., the
world's largest producer of
shoyu, is experimenting with
a process that can reduce the
fermentation process to make
shoyu from six-eight months
down to one week.
Hundreds of years in mak­
ing shoyu, tofu, sake and
other traditional food and
drink have given Japan great
expertise in fermentation —
the ability to change substan­
ces through use of micro­
organisms. And fermentation
is becoming a technique in
the biotechnology industry.
While Japan was a late
starter in genetic engineer­
ing, the Japanese typically
attacked the problem vigor­
ously as more than 150 com­
panies and several govern­
ment agencies have started
programs, according to Ma­
sami Tanaka, director of the
bio-industry office . at the
Ministry of International Trade
and Industry.

Suntory Ltd., Japan's major
liquor company, was the first
to use a synthgetic gene to
produce gamma-interferon, a
type viewed as most promis­

Last December, the U.S. phar­

to exchange technologies and
help run clinical tests — an
area in which Japanese com­
pany has little experience.

THE

Demand for Japanese language
TOKYO.— Evidence of Ja­
pan's growing importance in
world affairs may be the fact
that about 405,000 people
outside Japan studied the
Japanese language in fiscal
1982..
The figure is 11 times more
than was recorded in 1967,
according to the Foreign Min­
istry and Japan Foundation.
The Foundation expects
the Japanese language boom
to continue because Japan
maintains a leading economic
and technological role in the
• world, with the number of
people studying Japanese ex­
pected to reach 3.46 million
in fiscal 1994.
It also said there is a grow­
ing need for better Japanese

textbooks, teachers and dic­
tionaries.
According to statistics,
some 70 percent of current
learners reside in Asian coun­
tries such as South Korea,
China, Indonesia, Singapore
and Thailand and 10 percent
each are in North America,
and in Central and South
America.
The reasons for learning
Japanese have widened from
humanities and sociology in­
terests to natural science and
technology.
Also, Japanese courses
previously available at the
university level are now held
in some high schools in the
North America and South Kor­
ea, the study showed.

TOKYO — Despite stepped-up ef­
forts to detect lung cancer and new
efforts to educate children about the
perils of smoking, Japanese cancer
specialists say the disease would
grow to disastrous proportions in
coming years.
In particular, they blame the gov­
ernment for a lax attitude, saying
that while officials have recognized
the rising incidence of lung cancer,
they have paid no more than lip ser­
vice to the link between it and the
smoking habit.
“I am very, very pessimistic,” said
Dr. Takeshi Hirayama, chief of epi­
demiology at the National Cancer
Centre Research Institute in Tokyo,
and a leader in the anti-smoking
crusade.
“Lung cancer is on the sharp in­
crease. People just don't realize
how serious the problem is,” he
says. “It is a man-made epidemic.
In 100 years, there might not be a
Japan.”
Government officials say they are
concerned, but hindered from ob­
taining funding for anti-smoking
programs because the Finance Mi­
nistry, guardian of government purse
string receives billions of yen annual­
ly from profits of cigarette sales.
The situation, says one top official
in the Health and Welfare Ministry,
is “delicate.”
Cancer studies by the Ministry of
Health and Welfare have shown that
the disease became the primary
cause of death in Japan in 1980, re­
placing strokes. Stomach cancer is
the most prevalent type, but some
experts say that if present trends
continue, lung cancer will move into
first place by 1991.
Lung cancer caused about 24,000
of 176,000 cancer deaths last year,
up from 770 in 1947, 8000 in 1950,
10,000 in 1960 and 12,000 in 1970.
The specialists say that half or more
of the lung cancer cases can be trac­
ed to smoking, but there is little
sign that public attitudes toward the
habit are changing.
Government statisticians say 66
percent of Japanese men 20 and
older smoke cigarettes — down from
more than 80 percent in 1966, but
still a hign figure compared with the
33 percent of American men and 55.9
percent in France.
“Compared with 10 years ago, the
male habit is lower,” says Dr. Shi­
geto Ikeda, chairman of the Endos­
copic Department of the Cancer Cen­
tre Hospital. “But in female cases —
especially of the young — now there
is an increase.”
One national study showed that
adult women aged 20 — 29 who smoke
doubled from about eight percent in
1968 to more than 17 percent in 1981.
Another study showed that in one
locality, 70 percent of high school
students and 50 percent of middle
school students have smoked.
The Education Ministry “realizes
the significance of this issue,” says
Dr. Kiyotaka Segami of the Minist­
ry's Bureau of Physical Exercise.
“We are trying to find ways to struggle with the problem.”Segami says, for example, that
although current school textbooks
mention the dangers of smoking, the
books “are not very satisfactory to
the medical field — even I'm not
satisfied,”
However, ministry efforts to ex­
pand anti-smoking programs have
been curtailed by a lack of funds,
he says. This year, a request for 6
million yenJ25,000 U.S. dollars) for

*

a new national anti-smoking program
was rejected.
Also vetoed in the 1985 budget
was a request by the only other mi­
nistry active in anti-smoking educa­
tion, the Ministry of Health and Wel­
fare, for 7 million yen to give anti­
smoking refresher courses to local
officials.
Dr. Atsukuaki Gunji, director of
the Division of Health Promotion and
Nutrition in the Health Ministry, said
he and other government officials
would like to do more, but are “con­
strained by money.”
They say although the government
has been willing to spend money on
cancer research and on the expan­
sion of a detection program for tuber­
culosis after World War II, the gov­
ernment officials say the reason is
partly deficit-ridden budget, but
mostly that the government is deply
involved in the tobacco industry.
The government controls the pro­
duction, distribution and price of tobbaco. In 1983, the Tobacco and Salt
Public Corp, had 2.8 trillion yen (more
that 11 billion U.S. dollars) in sales,
2.3 trillion yen from from tobacco
alone.
Although this monopoly is to be
gradually transformed into a private
company beginning next April, Gunji
says the Finance Ministry will still
control two-thirds of the stock in the
company.
Commenting on the issue, the
English-language daily, The Japan
Times, said in an editorial that the
liberalization effort “promises no
great change. We will still have the
government in a business it has no
business being in ... working against
the natural public health policy.”
The result, doctors say, is a socie­
ty which encourages smoking.
Cigarettes are sold from thousands
of street-corner vending machines
and lit up casually by actors on
popular television shows. The meek
warning on cigarette packages that
“for the sake of health, let's be
careful about smoking too much,”
does little to discourage the habit,
doctors say.
In contrast, new warnings recent­
ly approved by a U.S. congressionalpanel include “Smoking causes lung
cancer,” and “Quitting smoking now
greatly reduces serious health risk.”

Only recently have Japanese anti­
smoking activists made any head
way. Although nonsmoking cars in
trains are now mandated, smokefree areas remain rare in most offices
and restaurants, and company-back­
ed stop-smoking programs are un­
known.

“In this atmosphere, “our cam­
paign is ineffective,” admitted Dr.
Keichi Suemasu, vice president of
the Cancer Centre Hospital. “The
stop-smoking activity is very small,
the number of young people who
want to smoke is great and the effi­
cacy of the mass screening program
(for cancer detection) is not determined yet.”
