Since 1886 the annual COM
mercial catch of lake trout in
the United States waters of
Lake Huron has taken an un-
precedented decline from l.
399,901 pounds in that year to
172,937 pounds in 1916. Some
wat incomplete figures for
1916 indicate the production
of lake trout from Lake Huron
will not exceed 900 pounds.
A slight decrease is evident in
northern La Ike Michigan,
where fishermen report lake
trout more difficult to find.
Fishermen state that from 70
to 80 per cent of the lake trout
taken show scars of the sea
lamprey.

most remarkable thing about
this is that all of them speak
very highly and kindly of their
experiences of folks from Zion.
That is as it should be for we
know from personal expert
ence that the slogan, "Zion is
a friendly city,, is more than
just a phrase but it is based
upon the natural reaction one
gets from meeting folks from
Zion.
You who read this may be
glad to know that Zion has a
great many friends in other
places and it should be an in

stores-large and small, stu
dying their methods of opera
ton, their equipment and ap-
pearance. By comparison, be-
lieve you me, the Zion Depart
ment Store certainly is plain
old thing on the surface but
when I dug deeper into the
merchandise I saw on the glis-
tening counters in these mer-
camille emporiums, the COM
parison was more or less in the
favor of the Zion Department
Store in which I am so very
much interested. Although I
may DE somewhat preJudlced
in favor of my friends in Zion,
nevertheless I am convinced
that from a friendliness and
willingness-to-serve angle no
store anywhere has anything
on Zion and it's fine merchan-
dising establishments.

sonally next week, may we re-

expect you shall have a lot of

you should prepare for your

security income, which is a
great help, but talk with peo-
pie receiving this income and
they will tell you it is not suf-
ficient to take care of every
thing, so ask yourself, "Where
is the rest coming from?"
You, as an employee of Zion
Industries Inc, have the an
swer to that question. 1t is Zion
Industries, Inc, Profit Sharing
Plan. Those of us who have
been with the Company for
the full time Profit Sharing has
been effective, are beginning
to realize the dollars and cents
value of this plan as it builds
up year after year.
Now, at the completion of
four and a half years, you and
look back and you will agree
with me that they have been a
short four and a half years,
and yet, in such a brief, time
hundreds of dollars, yes, thous-
ands of dollars, have accumu-
lated to our Profit Sharing
Trust Account.
Think of this Profit Sharing
Trust Account for a moment as
an insurance policy. You real
ize that if sudden death should
strike any of us in this Com
pany, our beneficiary would
receive the full amount of our
Profit Sharing Trust Account.
You have given of your time,
your skill, your ideas, your
loyalty, and have faithfully
stayed on the job. Zion Indus
tries, Inc, which is really you
and I, and all of the hundreds
of other workers put together,
have not only paid top wages
week after week, but has also
given literally from it's profits
an additional amount, which is
your Profit Sharing Trust Ac-
count.
You know, I had an inter-
esting experience about Pro-
fit Sharing and Pension Plans
while attending a course of stu
dy at Northwestern University
two years ago.
DR.. Spriegel, who is a man
of about IS years of age, with
wide experience in person
mel and industrial relations,
gave us a lecture on Profit
Sharing Plans. He explained a
number of different kinds and
then outlined the plan he ia
vored the most.
About half way through his
outline, it suddenly dawned on
me he was describing a plan
exactly of the kind Zion In
dustries, Inc, adopted Az
years ago. You can be sure it
made me feel very proud to be
part of the Company who
had in operation Profit shar-
ing Plan that was recognized
as the best by one of the ma
TONS leading professors.
In closing, let's determine to
get the full benefit of this nest
egg that was started for us AZ
years ago, which has steadily
grown and as long as the pro-
fits continue, will steadily keep
on growing.

Redesignate Preside Institution
The Army Language School

Effective as of September 1, 1947, the Mill
tary Intelligence Service Language School, To-
Gated at Preside of Monterey, Calf, was redes-
gnated as The Army Language School, it was
announced by Colonel Elliot r. Thorpe, COM
mandant of the school,
The new broad title for the school was made
official in a letter received from the office of
The Adjutant General issued by order of the Sc
cretary of War.
When questioned about the significance of
the new name, the Commandment replied that the
title reflects the broader role the School will
play in the future in training linguists for the
Army whole and not merely for the Intelli-
gence service. In this connection it was an
nounced that in addition to the Japanese and
Russians languages now being taught, training
in nine other languages will be conducted at the
school,
The history of the school dates back to Nov
ember l, 1871 (about six weeks before Pearl
Harbor when the Fourth Army Intelligence
School started operations in an abandoned hang
er on old Crissey Field adjoining San Francisco
Bay at the Preside of San Francisco After
Pearl Harbor day, it became evident that Japa-
nese language personnel would be needed as ne
yer before. The War Department then decided
to place the school under its direct jurisdiction
and it was reestablished at Camp Savage, Mimi
esota as the Military Intelligence Service Ian
guage School.
From that date, May 20, 1912, to the pre-
sent, the school has played an important part,
pecialy in training japanese linguists for INTEL
igence work during the war and assisting in the
occupations of Japan During this period more
than six thousand men have been graduated by
the school. The service these men have per-
formed has been highly attested to and is part
of the record of the.war as they served as the
eyes and the ears of the Allied Pacific Forces.

Larry Tajiri has explained the
decline of Nisei writer's fairly well,
: I think. After the explosion teva-
cuation to YOU'D the pent-up wri-
tiers Of yore were scattered hither
and yon, mostly yon where they
have had to re-orient themselves
to different set-up. If they really

win keep on saying it in their own
way in their own time. Perhaps

I wouldn't worry about this "lull,"

would not look to another scribblers

kindred souls In regular contact
with one another, the circle, as

think of resuscitating that project.
you retrogress: you think that by
bringing back what's gone, you
might work up another spate of
words from writer's. You can't.
INDIFFERENT WAYS
If the oldsters, as you so deli
cately call them, don't produce
much now in the Nisei press, what
odds they are not producing even
more, in different way, in their
resettled lives?

Long and the
Short Of Il
The high priests of fashion de-
cree that women should wear their
skirts long this year. Actually I
think they said that last year too.
But like black nylons, the idea
isn't catching on any too well.
OF course now IN the mid-sum-
mer heat, briefer bits of apparel
will naturally be favored by all the
misses and the misters too for diff
ferent reasons. But a Montreal
demsel has plaintively queried a
bout what us men think Of the
skirt length situation.
Being as how l consider my
self an authority on women's
clothing-most men do, don't we?
II won't hesitate to stick In my
two cents worth right about here.
I like them long.
Short skirts have grated against
me for some time. SO think the
longer style is 1t - for most gals.
OF course gals who are very short
should whoa because a too long
skirt makes them look as If they
have no legs at all And what is
q woman without legs?
Short skirts have their virtues, I
will admit, If the legs revealed are
of the easy-on-the-eyes type. But
the knee beautiful seems to be a
very rare animal and knobby knees
that look like the "Kobu" we used
to find on trees are not helpful
to glamour.
It's just like when l wear shorts,
with my knees should. So If the
lady has nice knees short skirts by
all means; but if the knees tend
to look as if they're a little tired
bring that hem down.
Then, too. longer skirt really
helps the not so grabl-ish legs look
smooth and slim since they hide
some of the bumps.
And a longer skirt does not ride
up in repulslve fashion when the
wearer sits herself down. A re-
vealing display of legs is tantaliz-
ing in a high wind; but when
gal with a too short skirt sits down
in low car seat seeing what seems
like a limitless expanse Of leg is no
Joy.
Perhaps the psychology behind
the strip tease would explain this
reaction.
Anyway, keeping In mind that
the standard Of legs among the
Niseiettes does not come too high
this is accepted. girls, so don't
come bowling back about how re-
pulsive mine are, don't prove Moth
'ing-usually the long skirt looks
smart and makes them legs look
very nice. Illusion, that's it-and
men usually don't mind being fool
ed, even when they know they are
deing deceived, as long as the de-
ception is done artfully and snbtly.
This will mean that will have to
keep my pants legs down, too. My
legs will miss the cool breezes.

Coincidental with the appear
ance Of the second In a series Of

Of the three Nisei bowling leagues

tn noticeable highlights accentu-
ating the leagues this year are
found in the well organized group
Of officers composed Of team cap
tains and secretaries governing
each league with their chief aim
being the wishes for a successful
season for each participant in their

One Of the surrounding difficult
ties arising from the crowded sche-
dulles is the inability for the End
league Of evening to roll a few
practice shots in order to acquaint
themselves to their given lanes.
Although this Is allowed in other
cities, 1t Is deemed at our popular
South End bowling emporium due
to the stringent rules set down by
the city association of Operators.
However. IL you are one of the ma
ny confronted with this vexing
problem every league night, here's
a gem Of an idea passed on to you
absolutely without obligtion from a
pin-scarred veteran of countless
number Of years in this popular
winter pastime. May I suggest,
that approximately 5 minutes be-
fore game time you carry your
bowling spheroid with whichever
hand you deliver, walk around
holding conversation, swaying to
the mad antics of the tilt" demons.
All this gives one that balanced
equilibrium SO essential at the start
Then, on your first game observe
carefully the gingerly fashion with
which your shining Brunswick
drives itself into a usual game.

past to find some indication for
the future, the new crop of writer's,
young in philosophy and method
different entirely from the writer's

to record their vital egos. Don't
try to compare these new ones with
the old, for they are trying out
their talents. using and changing
and discarding different words to

Patience then, Pythias. You can
be sure that if Nisei has some

no egos to drive toward achieve
