the ma jority of them never felt it
was their place. To enable a stable

LOS ANGELES, Calf, July l.
So far the entrants for the current
Nisei Week queen contest are by
birth Sansei, pointed out Terri Ho-
koda, contest chairman, who dis
closed that Sachi Kazunaga, %, be-
came the third candidate this week
Miss Kazunaga, a typist at the
Canadian Insurance Co., is an alum
ma of Roosevelt high school, summer
AZ, a member of the Novelties, who
are sponsoring her in The 1850 race,
stands it. 2l2 in, and weighs
los lbs. She is the daughter of Mrs.
c. Kazunaga of this city.
Her favorite pastime is dancing,
has played baseball and volleyball
with her club since its organization
during high school days.
In the meantime, the contest COM
mittee has been happy over the an
nouncement that queen tickets
reached the half-million mark at
this time, but somewhat unhappy
over the prospects of the lack of en-
thusiasm by organizations which had
formerly sponsored candidates in the
queen contest.
None of the leading organizations
of the l949 race has filed applica-
lions. I'VE hope that the four Los
Angeles JACL chapters and the big
time associations like the Buddhists,
Christians. veterans and Kenjinkais
can get into the swing of Nisei Week
at this very critical stage when can
didates should be duly announced
for the benefit of the public Kiyo
Yamato, festival chairman, said to-
day.
1t was pointed out, however, that
some of the organizations with huge
memberships have been considering
an entrant for the contest.

The Authorship of a Toast
Bg II. &. C. Bryant

Toast had been printed in black
letter wall cards and many
copies had been sold.
This toast came straight
from my heart. / am glad it
struck a responsive chord in the
hearts Of others. / only knew, by
accidentally running across a
copy Of it, that it had been re-
published from the Richmond
Times-Dispatch, in which it ap-
peared the day after the ban
quet.
Enclosed you will find a let
ter from Mr.. Charles E. Borden
of Richmond, who asked me to
send four toasts, and one from
Rev. Walter w. Moore, a native
of your city (Charlotte), whose
speech The Old North State
had closed with the toast. DR..
Moore's graceful letter states
the facts Of its production"
In his letter to me DR.. Borden
says: Il have before me at this
writing the original paper that
Mrs. Martin gave me about a
month prior TO the North Caro-
lima banquet, and on which is
written the toast to the Old
North State.
i am glad you are fixing def
nite1y the authorship of the
toast. Whenever ] have had the
opportunity, when the question
has arisen, / have stated that
the lines were hers. ! had never
heard that Tom Dixon had been
credited with them, but in this
connection have taken the mat
ter up with DR.. Walter w. Moore
and enclose his letter herewith.
You will see that he states that
ne has always referred to the
lines as emanating from Mrs.
Martin"
DR.. Moore writes: Il have no
record that would be of use in
the matter of which you write,
but / recollect distinctly how

the lines referred to came to my
knowledge. ] had been requested
to respond to one of the toasts
at the North Carolina banquet
in Richmond, and short time
before my speech was to be de-
tlivered ! received from some
one, possibly Mrs. Hodges, a
copy Of the verse in question,
accompanied with the statement,
which ! remember vividly, that
it was written by Mrs. Martin.
1t was, ! am sure, generally
understood in the North Caro-
lima Society Of Richmond at the
time that she was the writer.
of course, those who were at
the banquet knew that Mrs.
Martin wrote it, as the fact was
publicly stated by myself, and,
perhaps, by others. ! should feel
much less satisfied if / had to
believe they were written by
Tom Dixon, and ! do not see
why anybody should suppose
that he did write them. | think
we are all under obligations to
Mrs. Martin for expressing so
happily a feeling which lies deep
in the heart of every Tar Heel,
and ] think that it would have
been well in reproducing those
lines on the wall cards had her
name been attached to every
copy"
Later DR.. Borden wrote to
Mrs. Martin: Last week / was
down at the jamestown Exposi-
tion and in the North Carolina
building, hung against the wall,
printed on a wooden tablet,
were the lines about which we
have been corresponding. Under
meath them has been placed the
name of Jenkins.
MRS. Charles D. McIver is
the permanent hostess for the
North Carolina Building. / asked
her if she knew how the name of
Jenkins came to be placed under
that verse. She replied that she
did not, and she had further
understood that Mr.. Jenkins had

] was about to leave the Uni
versity when / met Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin. | saw their nieces but
did not meet them. In later
years ! saw something of Mrs.
Martin, who, before her mar
riage, was Miss Leonora Mon
teiro. She was not only well edu-
Gated and accomplished, but
good-iooking.
Years after she had written
the popular toast about the land
OF the long leaf pine | helped to
see that she and not someone
else got the credit for it. These
are the lines:
Here's to the land Of the long
leaf pine,
A summer land where the sun
doth shine,
Where the weak grow strong,
the strong grow great,
Here's to down home the Old
North State"
The toast was written for a
banquet Of the North Carolina
5ocIety OF Richmond on the goth
Of May, 1904. Soon every after
dinner speaker of any conse-
quence in North Carolina was
Closing his remarks with it.
Mrs. Martin had left the state
when the question of authorship
arose. 1t seemed strange to me
that there should be any doubt
about who wrote the lines.
Seeing that, in her absence, the
credit was about to go to one
who did not deserve it, / went
to work to answer the question.
Mrs. Martin wrote me: when

jenkins to whom she refers is
a newspaper man and lives in
Baltimore"
The Jenkins in mind was John
Wilbur Jenkins, North Caro-
linian who went to the Baltimore
Sun and later, to Government
JOB in Washington. In a letter
to the Charlotte Observer, he
disciaimed any credit for the
toast. He said he understood
Mrs. Harry c. Martin, then of
Knoxville, Tenn, was the author.
