Column Devoted to Nisei Vets
To Start in Northwest Times,
Beginning with Aug. 26 Issue

Starting with the next issue, THE NORTH
WEST TIMES, the only allIEnglish news
paper in the Pacific Northwest, will carry a
Nisei veterans column which will include news,
bulletins and chit-chats of interest to veterans.
1t will be veteran-produced and veteran-edted,
and it will have opinions voiced only by the vet
erans The column, in other words, will serve
as the sounding board for Nisei veterans in the
Pacific Northwest.
The addition of this column will bolster
another NORTHWEST TIMES feature,
excepting Up with the Times,'' which also is
written by veteran Hideo Hoshide, who serv-
ed with the Office of Strategic Services during
World War III and who presently is taking a
postgraduate course in Oriental Studies at the
University of Washington
Unlike Hoshide's brainchild which focuses
it's attention on Asia's problems, this latest vet
eran column will devote all its space to Nisei
veteran affairs.
All Nisei veterans are welcomed to contri-
butte whatever they can to this column.
