In years past each of these organiza­tions, and many others, would hold sep­arate parties. This meant there was a series of parties through almost every January weekend, and sometinles Into February. The Lotus Room, the only Chinese restaurant in town with a ban­quet hall large enough to accommodate parties of this kind, prospered. Now most of the ohter Issei·oriented com· munity organizations have disappeared, and this year the three surviving groups decided to hold their party jointly. There was nothing wrong with that since many people belong to all three associations.

It was a time of remembering, as old people like to do, and they were happy and comfortable with it. What may have disappointed them. althou~h none sald anything about it, was that not one I Sansei or younger Nisei had bothered I to show up. If these younger people _________ _ had wanted to experience something of • Chlca,o, III. Japanese culture as the Issei rem em- _________ _

Yet, the joint party. the main social function of the year for many of the members, could attract a total of only about 50 persons. They were mostly elderly Issei, some of them frall and Infirm with advancing years. The bal­ance was made up of a handful of Nisei, attending out of a sense of obligation perhaps.

Death had thinned Issei ranks since a year ago. But there were others who did not attend for various reasons. Some were ill, others not up to ven­turing out on a chilly S'mday afternoon. Some had moved into the suburbs to live with the families of Nisei sons or daughters and the old folks, feeling themselves too much of a burden as it was, were reluctant to ask for a ride to the Lotus Room and back. So they stayed home. And for still others the $6 cost of the dinner was too much to be worked into bare-bones budgets.

The Issei who were able to attend had a good time. There was lots of con­versation and rem.iniscing. Much of the food was left untouched because old folk.s can't eat as heartily as they used

bered it, they lost a great opportunity. Two things came to mind after we

had shaken hands and voiced our thanks and departed.

First, if the tradition-bound, close­knit. clannish Issei community Itself­with its sense of obligation and duty and face and all that---eannot hold it­self together. is it any wonder that the Nisei and Sansei communities also are disintegrating as the members go their individual ways? Scores of opportuni­ties and interests are drawing them away from the ethnic community. Such dispersal is neither good nor bad, sim­ply natural.

The other thought was about Herbert Wong's big annual Chinese New Year's party at his New China Restaurant, scheduied just a week after the Japa­nese party. The Japaense have kept their parties to themselves; outsiders were rarely if ever invited. Wong in­vites leading city, state and federal of­ficials, plus scores of personal and busi­ness friends. His several hundred guests feast and drink and have a grand time. They look forward each year to Chinese New Year. But whoever out­side the community has heard of Ja­panese New Year?
