JAPAN DAY AT PARK TOMORROW

Orientals Will Participate in Program of Addresses and Vocal Music at Kinnear Community Gathering.

Tomorrow will be known as "Japan Day" at the regular Sunday community gathering at Kinnear Park, and several Orientals will be prominent on the program as speakers and vocalists. T. Miyawawa, a prominent pastor and religious worker of Osaka, Japan, will address the assembly on the subject, "The Relationship Between Japan and the United States." Other addresses will be delivered by T. Kumai, Rev. R. Inouye, both of this city, and Rev. M. Furuya, pastor of the Japanese Congregational Church of Los Angeles.

Following the addresses a choir of Japanese, especially selected for the occasion, will sing in their native tongue.

Preparations are being made to receive a large crowd and a representative gathering of the local Japanese colony will be present.
