Three Ontario residents
named for Jpnz. Govt,
awards on Cultural Day

When the
okusan's
away

TORONTO. — On the occa­
sion of Culture Day in Japan,
the Japanese Government
has announced the granting
of awards to the following
three persons residing in the
Province of Ontario:
Mr. Kaname Asa — The Or­
der of the Sacred Treasure,
Gold and Silver Rays
Mr. Toshiaki Sumi — The
Order of the Rising Sun,
Silver Rays
Mrs. Tomi Nishimura —
The Order of the Sacred
Treasure, Silver Rays
Each of the recipients,
while long and diligently pur­
suing his chosen field of em­
ployment, has found time to
serve the Japanese commu­
nity, outstandingly, and in so
doing has been a force for
good in bringing about better
understanding and goodwill
in the Canadian community.
A presentation Ceremony
in Toronto is being planned
for sometime in November of
this year at the official resi­
dence of Consul General Hi­
karu Oka.

Mr. Sumi arrived in Canada
in 1912 encountering many
of the hardships and trials
which faced immigrants in
those early days. He has been
a member of many Japanese

in Japanese language educa­
tion and in social welfare
matters.
While living in Vancouver,
Mr. Sumi was the Chairman
of the committee of the Kitsilano district Japanese lan­

After coming to Toronto,
he played an important role
as a leading member in a
number of Japanese Cana­

With her vigorous spirit

the first to established the
United Church Women's Au­

of being nominated (appoint­

made an important contribu­

toward the introduction and
preservation of Japanese cul­

is that when the wife is away,
everything in the house is
misplaced, hidden or remov­
ed. Can't find a thing, even
though I know it's there —
someplace. After looking for
an item where it's supposed
to be, or where I think it might
be, or even where it shouldn' t
be, it ain't there. So I make a
mental note to confront the
frau as soon as she gets back
on where in the dickens she
stashes such-and-such.
My list is getting so long
that I've forgotten the items
that top the list.
Notes,, everywhere notes.
“Don't forget to drink up the
orange juice” is one. Others
explain how not to dump
trash into the trash can to
prevent dislodging the
plastic liner; the day of the
week on which the trash must
be put out on the curb; how
many cups of dog food each
dog gets; and that the big dog
gets two vitamin tablets to
keep him healthy. (If that
thing gets any healthier, I'll

find out why and patent the
secret.)
And, of course, there's a
final note on the door which
one cannot escape seeing as
one leaves for the world out­
side. Unlike the other notes,
this one is a question: “Is
everything turned off?”
When the food supply runs
low at home, I suspect I'll be
visiting one of those fast­
food joints for a taco, fish
sandwich or such. I'm not
going to a restaurant to sit
through a long program
alone. Rather. I'll go to a
drive-in and get it over quick.
Anyway, junk food isn't all
that bad. If I stayed home,
that's what I'd feed myself
anyway.
Well, in just a few more
days we'll get back to good
home cookin'. But after that,
in about a week, she takes off
again, this time for California
to visit another daughter in
El-Ay.
Oh, well.

The problem isn't what one would

fascinated by cleaning grout out of

The problem is that you don't
keep normal office hours, so you
don't know when to stop. Over the

become the norm to work until mid­

TOKYO — The Japanese
government, ever so fond of
statistics, announces each
September precisely how
many of its citizens are age
100 years or more. This year,
the centenarians numbered a
record 1,851, presided over by
a ruddy-faced woman of 110
named Mitsu Fujisawa who
lives in a hospital in Nagaon
Prefecture.
The public reaction to part
self-congratulation, part con­
cern. There is public pride
that Japanese today enjoy
the world's longest average
life span, but apprehension
that it is fast making their
society one of the world's
grayest. Will this mean the
end of postwar dynamism,
people wonder.
Japan has 111 more cente­
narians this year than it did
last year. Further down the

age scale, the trend is similar.
Today about 10 million Japa­
nese are 65 or older. By the
year 2000, the government
predicts there will be 16 mil­
lion; by 2025, 21 million. The
total population will rise only
fractionally above its present
120 million in that period.
“Everywhere we look, we
are going to see old people,”
says Yoshihiko Karita, editor­
ial board member of the Ja­
pan Economic Journal, in a
view expressed often in the
press and television.

The change comes at a
time when the tradition that
the aged live with their chil­
dren and grandchildren is
breaking down. Today, about
70 percent live with their off­
spring, but the figure is ex­
pected to sink to 50 percent
by the end of the century.

TOKYO. — Japan Prime Minister
Yosuhiro Nakasone, in the shadow of
his previous controversial comment
about the low intelligence of American
minorities, has again made a faux
paus that may further anger individu­
als from his home country.

In 1980, the Japanese government
reported to the United Nations Human
Rights Center that Japan had no
minority races.
The government position is that
Ainu are not a race with its own
language, religion or culture, accor­
ding to Kyodo News Service.

At an Upper House meeting re­
cently, Diet Representative Kenji
Kodama (Japanese Communist Par­
ty) said that Ainu, native Japanese
who mostly reside in Hokkaido, pro­
tested Nakasone's remark that
Japan is a racially homogeneous na­
tion.

At that time, the U.N. Human
Rights Committee raised a question
about the Japanese government's
report, saying that the Japanese
government should give adequate ex­
planation about the conditions of the
Ainu and Korean residents in Japan.

After denying any racism against
the Ainus, Nakasone said, "My eye­
brows are thick, my beard is heavy. I
probably have a lot of Ainu blood in
me.”
The press corps later retorted,
“Doesn't your comments about the
(Ainu's) physical characteristics
hurt the discriminated Ainu?”
“No, because I said that I am (an
Ainu),” Nakasone responded.

MICHI Closed
for RENOVATIONS

Earlier during the session,
Nakasone said, “I believe that in
Japan, no minorities with Japanese
citizenship exist. The government re­
port to the United Nations is correct.”

The prime minister said that the
past law that protected Ainus in Hok­
kaido, which ironically evoked pre­
judice against the minority group, is
entirely ignored today.

kei Shimbun said the women
decided about three years
ago to kill themselves when­
ever the leader died.
Seven empty containers
were found near the scene.
Police said the women are
believed to have drenched
themselves with oil.
Miyamoto founded the cult
in 1950 to worship a “god of
creation” and pursue truth,
local government officials in
Wakayama said. The group
is one of 183,000 religious
organizations registered with
the Japanese government.

TOKYO. _ Seven female
followers of an obscure Ja­
panese religious cult turned
their oil-drenched bodies into
blazing torches recently in a
death pact with their leader.
Police said the women,
aged between 25 and 67,
burned themselves to death
before sunrise on a beach at
Wakayama in western Japan
after cult leader Seiji Miya­
moto, 61, died of liver disease
in hospital recently.
The women belonged to
a 60-member religious cult
based in Wakayama, south
of Osaka. The cult is called
Michinotomo Church — or
Friends of Truth Church.
A man walking his dog on
the beach found the charred
corpses, including Miyamo­
to's 42-year-old wife and his
25-year-old adopted daughter.
In 13 notes left for their
relatives and friends, the
women suggested they had
killed themselves to keep
promises, police said.
