Stories

stories

Nisei runner Morioka
wins Athlete of the Year
Award at age 46 years

By BILL HOSOKAWA
Sometimes the story
behind the news is just as in­
teresting as the news itself.
But too often, for whatever
reason, the story behind the
news fails to get out to the
public. Let me cite a couple
of instances that have come
to light recently.

VANCOUVER. - Harold
Morioka not only finishes
first on the track, he also
comes first when annual B.C.
sports awards are handed
out.
The teacher at Dr. Charles
Best Junior Secondary
School took home another
award recently when he was
handed Master Athlete of the
Year honors by B.C. Athle­
tics.
Morioka set indoor records
for masters in the 400 metre
and 200m sprints, the latter of
which has since been broken.
At the 1989 World Masters
Championships in Eugene’
Ore. last August, he won a
gold medal in the 400m race.
He also nabbed a silver as
part of the runner-up four by
100m relay team and a bronze
imthe 200m.
His time in the 400m race
was 50.6 seconds, just .14 off
a world record in the 43-49
age group. It was the fastest
time ever by an athlete 46
years and over.
Morioka, a 46-year-old .tor, trains with the Simon
physical education instruc- Fraser University track team.

Not long ago
much was made
in the press
about a Japan­
ese firm, Mit­
subishi Estate
Co., buying con­
trolling interest

in New York City's famed
Rockefeller Plaza. Never
mind that the Rockefellers
were held in very low esteem
by Americans several genera­
tions back for the way they
made their money. Now
Rockefeller Plaza was held
up as the symbol of America,
and its acquisition by Japan­
ese was condemned as
something heinous.
Now it comes out, accorthat the American ownerTof
Rockefeller Plaza set out
some time ago to find a
buyer. A dozen or more poten­
tial investors, among them
American and European
groups, were sounded but
none showed any interest or
could come up with the
bucks. Eventually the Mit­
subishi people closed the
deal.
That is somewhat different
from the widespread impres­
sion that the predatory Japan­
ese, their pockets over­
flowing with dollars from the
unfavorable trade balance,
are out to buy up American
heirlooms. In any transaction
there has to be a seller as
well as a buyer. With Rocke­
feller Plaza, the untold story
according to the Japanese, is
that the owners were shop­
ping the property around
before Mitsubishi became in­
volved.

San Francisco test to see 1st
Japan ship replica to cross Pacific
SAN FRANCISCO. — The Kanrin-Maru, built in 1857 in
Holland, was the first Japanese ship to cross the Pacific
Ocean. A replica of the Kanrin-Maru will recreate the historic
voyage and dock in San Francisco adjacent PIER 39 on March
7. The 216-foot-long ship has three masts, six square sails,
three gaff sails, and four jib sails, and travels at a maximum
speed of 11 knots.
The ship visit is part of that city's Tulipmania festival from
March 2 to 18th.
The Dutch-built shop docked in San Francisco 130 years
ago on March 17th, 1860, carrying Japan's first diplomatic
delegation. A gala parade of ships and yachts will greet the
Kanrin-Maru as she sails under the Golden Gate Bridge on
March 7, to a berth adjacent to PIER 39.

But the rebuff of his efforts to

were proof of Japan' s refusal

TOKYO. — While mat­
chmaking Japan has grown
into a 20 billion yen ($141
million) a year industry,
Japan's men and women
continue to grow farther
apart.

And despite the aid of com­
puters in Japan's ages-old
service, only 30 percent of
those seeking the help of
matchmakers find prospec­
tive marriage partners and 70
percent quit after their ser­
vice terms expire, according
to two major matchmaking
firms.
According to the Ministry
of Health and Welfare, there
are 400,000 more single men
aged between 23 and 35 than
there are single women in 20
to 32 age bracket — the age
brackets in which men and
women are most likely to
marry, according to the
ministry. The ratio of un­
married men between the
ages of 30 and 34 to married
men increased from 10 per­
cent in 1960 to 20 percent in
1980 and to nearly 30 percent
in 1985.
Another survey by the
ministry found that 50 per­
cent of single men between
the ages of 18 and 34 and
single women in the same
age group had no friends of
the opposite sex — and 30
percent of those surveyed
said they had no idea where
to find a mate.
But Japan's matchmakers
say meeting members of the
opposite sex is not the main
problem: It is attitudes.
“Men today seek dramatic,
not pragmatic, encounters,”
said Katsuko Suzuki, a

spokeswoman for Altman
Corp., a computer matchmak­
ing service. But in the long
run “most men say they want
to marry a woman who is
young, considerate and a
good housewife — men's ex­
pectations have not changed
for many years,” she said.
On the other hand, she
said, women tend to have
higher expectations.
“Women compete in the
marriage market,” Suzuki
said. “Many want to meet a
man with lots of qualifica­
tions — graduate of famous
university, tall and hand­
some. We end up finding no
candidates to meet such
demands.
“So we changed our sales
emphasis from science­
based to a more human ap­
proach: We used to say that

the computers can select
your best partner. Now we

say we can provide the best
chances for you to meet your
future spouse.
“Fortunately or unfor­
tunately, women seem to
have changed a lot during the
past decade. Men have not,”
Suzuki said.
Altman has a membership
of 28,000, about 15,000 of
which are men. The 18-month
membership fee is 280,000
yen ($1,970) for men and
260,000 yen ($1,830) for
women. About 90 percent of
the men are salaried workers
and half of them are
engineers.
Another enterprise that
tries to match singles for pro­
spective marriages is OMMG,
which calls itself a “depart­
ment store of arranged mar­
riages.” It provides such ser­
vices as organizing dates,
parties and picnic, as well as
premarriage counseling.

TOKYO. — Japan should
take the lead in rolling back
barriers to imports to help
avoid a protectionist back­

The 24-nation group urged
Tokyo to attack Japanese

“Japan's place in the
world economy today and its
dependence on the continua­

system mean that it should
be one of the countries tak­
ing the lead when it comes to
rolling back barriers,” the
Organization for Economic

account surplus looks set to
fall sharply this year, a weak
yen could prevent further
reducitons, it said.
The yen has fallen nearly
15 per cent against the U.S.
dollar since the end of 1988,
boosting the competitive­
ness of Japan's exports and
the price of its imports.
“A gradual appreciation of
the effective exchange rate
would be consistent with the
objective of keeping inflation
down and continuation of ex­
ternal (trade) adjustment,”
the OECD said.
The organization came out
squarely against managed
trade, saying that fixing
targets for higher Japanese
imports and a lower surplus
and dangerous.
“It contains the seeds of
destruction of the liberal
world trading system and
should therefore be strongly
resisted,” the think tank said,
i The group urged Japan to
improve the standard of living
of its citizens to reflect the
country's position as one of
the world's richest nations.
“(Japan's) high income
level appears not to be fully
reflected in the quality of
life,” the OECD said.
It cited Japan's high cost
of living, poor housing and
public infrastructure.
