If your mother Is in Florida,

If she's up in New England,
however, or in Michigan or Ohio,
you better telephone her il you

Even anti-mother Phillip Wy
lie, noted author whose chapter
on 'Momism" in his book Gen
Grafton of Vipers" has succumbed
to mass celebration of mothers
this year and has sent flowers
to his mother-in-law. From his
Coral Gables home he said it
was not all mothers that he op-
poses just mons"
The Wylie attack on momism
put new word in the American
vocabulary, psychological as we'll
as popular, some years back
when his book was first publish
ed. He maintains that there was
too much sickly sentimentality
surrounding dear old nom, and
that too often MONS smother"
not mother" their sons and
daughters.
Be that as il may, NOM will
once more be extolled by press,
platform and pulpit tomorrow

Whether they are l8 or 80 the

with family parties, and flowers.
Then when Monday morning
comes, Mon will put aside her
Mothers Day finery, get the
kids ready for school. cook the
breakfast, and plunge into the
job of washing and ironing for
her little brood. She will then
cook. clean, sew and scrub for
about eight hours along with the
millions of MONS in the country,
thus earning her right to have
one day a year on which she is
glorified and praised, # not freed

was allocated 10 South Florida

Divided equally. this amount
would have cut Monroe County's

made a special request that as
much money as possible be ear
marked for Key West.
Possibly Nine Loans
Mr.. Luna states that. "As loans
may not exceed $4,000 and a
number of them have been de-
cidedIy less, we feel that veter-
ans in Key West will perhaps
receive nine loans out of funds
presently allocated."
When informing The Citizen
of action taken Representative
Lantaff said: Although this $50.-

In early February two Port of Sc
attic officials will leave on a trip to
Japan, the Philippines, and other
parts of Asia
They are Col Warren D. Lamport,
the Ports managing director. and
John M. Hayden, public relations
director of the Port.
Both were closely associated with
the Japanese Trade Fair last sum-
mer. Col. Lamport served as chair
man of the executive committee,
while many Nisei and Issei will re-
member Hayden as the director Of
the Fair.
Both men are capable, affable,
and sincere, and should make ex-
cellent ambassadors for the Port
and the city of Seattle.
On their forthcoming trip to So
licit traffic, promote trade and pu-
blicize the Port, they should accom-
plish great deal toward re-esta-
blishing Seattle as the gateway to
the Orient.
There is a lot to be done prepar-
ing for such trip, as these two
men are finding out

For example, there is the matter
OF taking gifts for various Japanese

meet.
This is a rather important item,
for the Japanese are strongly pro-
tocol-minded and attach tremen-

giving.
Japanese officials who visit Anne
RIGA and I other countries invariably
bring gifts for the people with whom
they come in contact during the
the course of their business.
Sometimes these gifts are quite
pretentious, while others are plain
and inexpensive.
But nevertheless the thoughtful
ness and sincerity of the Japanese
in presenting the gifts are not lost

Japanese will really appreciate, and
yet not be too expensive or bulky.
People who have been to Japan
suggested various articles.
Coffee makes suitable gift, some
say, because good coffee is hard to
get in Japan, and the japanese love
coffee.
Others suggest a pound of candy,
wallets, billfolds, pens. eversharps,
clothing, etc.
At any rate, it is certain that they
will go to japan well prepared with
gifts.
Another item which is getting
proper attention is the calling card.
Special cards are being printed
for the Colonel and Hayden, and
these will be put to good use in ia
pan.
The Japanese go in big way for
passing out 'meishi", or calling
card.
While We were in Japan, we COL
lected quite big batch of cards.
Practically every Japanese we met
gave us card. no matter whether
he was common laborer or a big
government or business official.
In some instances the only arti-
Giles the Japanese carried in their
wallets were cards.
Among the japanese, the presen-
tation of calling card is regarded
as courtesy and no introduction
seems to be complete without the
exchange of cards.
1t is a good custom in that it is
one sure way of knowing the exact
name and title of the person you
meet.
And SO go the preparations for
their trip to Japan. Both Colonel
Lanport and John Maydon are de-
termined to do in Japan as the ia
panese do.

after the Japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor was that they did not have
a large number of Caucasian friends,
especially those of influence, go to
bat for them.
The Caucasians who did battle for
the Nisei and tried to prevent their
evacuation fought magnificently.
But there weren't enough of them
This was one of the prices paid
by Nisei for keeping themselves too
much within the confines of their
Lii Tokyos If -'pre-war days.
They didn't bother to take mea-
sures to Fbecome assimilated in the
American society.
They didn't give Caucasians the
opportunity to get to know them.
The lesson of World War II was
recognized BY some Nisei, and they
have endeavored to profit by it.
However. if the Nisei are to make
greater strides in assimilation and
in developing public good will. it is
essential that everyone does his bit.

p C QUIZ
Prepared by office OF
Price Stobilixoiios

@. During the holidays 1
bought a lot of imported cheeses
and other special foods for gifts.
Then discovered there aren't
any price controls on these items.
Why not?-Mrs. MIG, Seattle.
A. Numerous luxury or speciality
items are exempted from price con-
trolls because sales are relatively so
small that they have little effect on
the cost Of living. The cost of main
tanning ceilings on these items
would be out of proportion to their
value.
@. We will have TO buy an over
hauled tractor this spring. Could
we get any guarantee on TIA.
G., Chehalis.
A. Yes. OPS requires dealer to
give you a 45-day guarantee on re-
conditioned farm equipment, as well
as a warranty on the parts and ma
terials used in overhauling it.
@. My bog recently smashed up
his bike. Are there any price con-
trolls on responsibilities. LIN, Sc
lah.
A. Yes. When you take the bike in
for repairs, look for posted ceiling
prices. You can check your bill a
gainst the posting.
@. It seems to me every barber
and beauty salon has different
prices. How about some price
ceilings on these people?-Miss
MI, Tacoma.

ticians charge we're exempted spe-
officially from price controls by the

Generally speaking, the year 1851
was a good one for Nisei.
Substantial gains we're made to-
ward promoting the cause of the Nj
sci, notably through the showing OF
the film, GO for Broke!", which
played to large crowds throughout
the nation.
Also, legislative gains were made
through the efforts of the JACL

And Nisei everywhere, through
participation in community events
and through activities that brought
them in contact with Caucasians.
continued to make advances toward
more complete acceptance.
It's satisfying to be able to look
back on year of achievement.
But it would be folly en- the part
of Nisei if they were to sit back on
their -laurels.
-. 1t took lot of hard work and
thinking and a great deal of time
to attain those accomplishments.
The fight for acceptance is long
and arduous one

ciety will come only through perse-

These are days when various mi

left far behind

|CI0 Urges Liberal Policy

The Congress Of Industrial Or
ganizations last night called for
"a liberal, long-run immigration
policy"
1t said the McCarran law, now
just being put into force. "perpe-
yates most of the existing evils
and creates some new ones"
The CLOS publication, Eco
nomic outlook, said organized
labor fears nothing from the i'm
migrant, but welcomes him as a
worker and a consumer. The pub
lication cited three problems:
First. there is the need for a
liberal, long-run immigration pol
icy. Secondly, there is the immed-
late need for special relief for
persons displaced by World War
II who have not found permanent
homes-more than seven years
after the wars end.
Thirdly, there is the current
problem of offering special refuge
to the refugees who continue to
find their way through the Iron
Curtain to the West"
