FIRST GENERAl, MEETING The general meeting delayed

from March in deference to the Easter Party will definitely be staged on April 26, Thursday even­ing commencing at 7:30 P.M.

The program portion will take precedence over the business por­tion with the top Civil Defense demonstration Team in the Terri-tory bar none, giving us a show. This alone should be inducement enough for us all attend.

live the to

However, in addition to this live demonstration, the latest of the Atom Bomb Survival films will also be shown. Running time of the movie is estimated at 45 min­utes.

Consequently, the business por­tion will have to be quite brief.

Prexy Yoshimasu has tentatively scheduled such matter as: (1) the setting forth of a definite mem­bership policy as formulated by' the Membership and Dues Committee ' headed by reliable Bob Taira; (2) discussion on the money-making projects for the year; and (3) other matters of grave concern to us members.

JUl~ llJAU The date "-~defini tely been

set for this event of events-­June 9 (Saturday.)

Fundi Shirai of Baker has ac­cepted the chai rmanship of this affair .

Differing from past Luau's in­vitations will be sent out o~ll to those active members.

The tentative plan as it stands now is to: (1) send out advance notices to the 200 plus members who have paid this year's current operating dues--giving them first chance at obtaining tickets. La­ter notices will go to the remain­ing 300 plus members who have paid their 1955 dues (operating dues) but not the 1956 due s.

The stern policy is NO TICKEE NO PIGEE!

You won't be able to purchase tickets at the gate on the day of the Luau. Pretty stiff? So make definite plans. And, its about time we took firmer steps!

Although it was rather a windy day, it was a very ni ce sunny day for outdoor egg hunting.

At about 1:30 P.M. Mr, Calvin Shimogakl and his HQ gang moved the party over to the Iolani School grounds for the egg hunt. As you know, because of the crowd movement it is impossible to li­mit the number of eggs to a child So for this reason the committee felt that it should be "finders keepers, Ii It worked cut alright except that the older ones found

ie more than the others. but as 8.

Vias lodged that the pirents were not spelling their youngsters but 'mare in :>b'.lsiness ll for thelTl-selv~s~~

Ai'ter the hunting the party moved back to the clubhouse. As the children lnurched through the front entrance, Mr. Namiki and his A Company boys handed out the colorful Easter Baskets, At the lounge, Mr, YOkoY3ma anel his MediCs aides served refreshing fru,t punch an~ 0rispy cookies and senheis.

Of course, to cap the evening affair, we, the diehards had to have our "coffee break." So we ended up at Hale Nanea , drinking better than coffee.

FROM THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION --:Five tips for Veterans with Spring urge to buy homes under the GI loan program:

(1) Make sure your home is near enough to transportation, schools and shopping to suit the needs of you and your family.

(2) Be sure your income is large enough to pay all costs of home ownership, including loan principal and interest, taxes and insurance, utilities and mainten­ance, and anything you are buying on installments .

3) Make certain your interest,s lh ~4ch matters as deposits, pur ch~se agreements, and sales con­tra~ts are fully protected before you make a deposit or sign any document.

(4) Be sure you understand the lmportant legal documents you have to ~ ... e;n hen you make "final set.­tlemsl1t," or "close the loan."

' 5) And rememoer, a GI loan must be repaid. GI loans offer you many advantages, out like any other debt, they must be paid back on schedule.
