DC. Japanese Hold Solemn Services
At Arlington for Nisei 81 Dead

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 4
(ADC)-The sky was clean and blue
and soft breeze toyed gently with
the fallen leaves. The small marble
tombstones, stretching in endless
military rows, seemed somehow a
brighter white under the warm Ind
ian summer sun.
On the slight slope above the
graves of Pvts. Fumitake Nagato and
Saburo Tanamachi, the first Nisei
war dead buried in Arlington Nat
ional Cemetery, a military color
guard. flags sparkling. stood in res
pectful attention throughout the
Sunday service marking the second
annual Nisei Memorial day.
The 20 Nisei dead In Arlington,
and the known Nisei dead in
Korea. were honOred individually
and by name. But the service was

Jack Hirose. chairman of the Nat

he said of the Nisei veteran that he
fought, not fight against some
thing, but fight for something. For
America And for his people-of all
races, creeds and colors He fought
for democracy. for the right to be
called, forever, loyal American.
Then Henry Kobayashi, dressed
now in a neat, blue civilian suit, re-
called the men with whom he had
served in the all-Nisei 442nd Regi-

And he said of them: THAT these

Another 442nd veteran, Taro Hi

Slowly the crowd broke and drifted
away in small groups. The color
guard and the firing squad marched
off down the green grass carpet.
Later, the grave of each Nisei dead
in Arlington was individually deco

Thus were the Nisei dead again
honored by grateful group of peo-

who had given renewed faith and
courage to the living.

Excuse it please, but, the Sap" is
back again.
While more intelligent ladies and
gentlemen tax their mature brains
in an endeavor to find solution to
what ails this chaotic world: and,
while the Elites, the cream of the
society. are making good use of their
precious hours by absorbing the
things that are cultural and refined;
and the religious are praying and
sweating to bring about the social
spiritual uplifting what is the
Sap" doingp
Well, sir having no inclina-
ton nor ability to discuss world
affairs. being neither a social re-
former nor a religious leader, and
being ignorant of culture and It's re-
filming influence, the said Sap" re-
mains now and forever an insignifi-
can't clown whose literary efforts
will not rise above the sea level at
low tide.
1t it's high class literature or pro-
found opinion you're looking for,
you won't find them here. But, if
it's trash you're after, you've come
to the right church.
People must have low opinion of
any sap who deals in trash, but, you
know, that sort of thought doesn't
bother me much because every per-
son who calls me Sap" is hidden
in the shadow of one little girl who
looks up to me as hero.
Sharon thinks I'm wonderful
and that's all the incentive need
to try to be the man she thinks I
am. All the people who have con-
trary opinion of me seem to melt
into nothing when she looks up to
me and says.
Gosh, daddy, you know every
thing.
Whatever I do seems wonderful
to her. When I catch even a little
fish that barely makes the limit I
always like to bring it home, not
because I'm so proud of the fish,
but because her face lights up as
she admires the fish and the fisher
man. When I get up to speak at
some gathering, she sits right up in
front and becomes my most atten-
tive listener. Even this column I
write is a masterpiece as far as she
is concerned She makes me read it
to her several times before I send
it in. And she could hardly wait for
the paper to come so that I can
read it to her again, and so she can
show 1t off to the neighbors, telling
