Zoge-san, the Chairman's counselor and lifelong friend, is on hand to speak with the district executives and their headmen personally. He reminds them that the day of the Chairman's Open House has become a local festival, the festival of the lotus and reed, symbols of the clan. No unseemly incidents can be permitted. Suspicious persons spotted in the district should be detained for questioning. Rowdies and drunks should be apprehended and handed over to the OPS police. The kobun may utilize any degree of force necessary to see that the rules are obeyed, but always they must be discreet. On this day of all days, even the oldest of grandparents and the youngest of children must be able to walk the streets without fear of incident.
