5 Japanese Will Talk On Citizenship

Five young Japanese-American speakers from Seattle high schools will compete in an oratorical contest on "Good Citizenship" at the Japanese St. Peter's Mission, 16th Avenue South and King Street, at 8 o'clock Friday evening.

They will vie for the honor of representing Seattle in a Northwest meet at Portland next Labor Day, at which a regional champion will be chosen to compete in a national contest in San Francisco the summer of 1934.

The contests are sponsored by the National Japanese-American Citizen League, formed here several years ago to inculcate the precepts and responsibilities of American citizenship in American-born Japanese.

Attorney Clarence Arai, an organizer and a leader in the league, will preside at the Friday night contest. Miss Sada Seki, Takeo Nogaki, Saburo Nishimura and Jiro Aoki are assisting him.

The speakers will be Ayako Yamashita and Sayo Tanagi, Roosevelt High School; Frank Yoshitaki, Garfield; George Hisayasu, Cleveland, and Kikue Asaba of Broadway.

The judges will be Robert H. Harlin, L.A. Williams and Judge Austin E. Griffiths.

There will be similar contest at Puyallup, Auburn, Yakima and Portland.
