Honolulu Star-Bulletin from Honolulu, Hawaii • 5

Saturday, July 4. 1981 Honolulu Star-Bulletin AS Random Reflections of a pood Man Pauoa, Liholiho, Waikiki, Kahuku, Laie, Kahaluu. Kaneohe and Waimanalo. He built the swimming The Subject is Religion By Nadine Scott Star-Bulletin Religion Writer v. I no more work, so I moved to Kaaawa and start a farm.

I try farming. First we planted peanuts, just like President Carter, on nine and one-quarter acres. A hard job. I knew this, that that's the way of farming but you no can quit. But in three, four years, about 1935, the situation changed and people like build house so I come Kaneohe and work for somebody, make money to support my family.

At that time we had four children. "In 1937 I started my own business, the construction business," in Kaneohe. He can remember building many cottages, one and two bedrooms, for from $700 to $1,000. "In 1941 the war broke out and all kinds of trouble came up." IIDA WAS NOT sent away. He continued his contracting business, building bomb shelters for the teachers from the Japanese language schools who were left alone here when their husbands were sent to "relocation camps." He also was appointed treasurer and collected dues from parents of former pupils so the teachers and their families could exist.

And always he has been building schools at pool and gym at Kailua High School and "lots of portable buildings. Plenty. No can count." FVr 20 years, from 1953 to 1973, he was president of Kaneohe Higashi Hongwanji Mission. He said he would never deliberately anyone or anything. "No, I no want.

I like not to be against And his apologetic for belief, for faith, would put many a learned theologian to shame. "1 believe the Buddha. I believe the church and the Buddha just the same, when it comes to the end. Both arrive at the same end, the temple and the church. "You meditate, you pray so you can sleep.

No worry. So nothing is going to happen to you. "You should go to the church, the temple. Sometimes you no can make up your mind. So many things come up every day.

Not the good, but mostly the bad things. "You need something for help so you can rest. 'There are too many worrisome things." Strange. Mr. Iida didn't look worried at all.

He Dwells on Clocks, the 'Good Old Days' Bazaar The Reorganized Church of Latter day Saints will hold its "Metropole Bazaar" from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. next Saturday at 2319 Kalihi St. The Royal Hawaiian Band will play and the congregation promises "expert haircuts" as well as food, plants and a boutique. By Nadine W.

Scott Star-Bulletin Writer Tomitaro Iida is a simple, uneducated man who is deeply religious although he doesn't think he is worthy to talk about religion like a priest or a minister. Yet the religious principles which he has lived through his 79 years set the stage for a very successful contracting business and a fulfilling personal life. When T. Iida Contractors completed building the new parish hall and community center for KaumakapUi Church in Kalihi, the church gave the firm a special "mahalo nui loa" for "kindness, donations and excellent workmanship in giving us a building which cannot be duplicated." The staff at St. Mark Lutheran in Kaneohe also had unusual words of praise for the firm when its new chapel was completed recently.

It was his firm that also won the low bid for Calvary Episcopal Church in Kaneohe some time ago. IIDA IS NOW RETIRED, but still chairman of the board of his Kaneohe firm. In an interview he explained, "You don't want to make money from a church. The money comes from all the members. I give a good price and then everybody is happy." Iida was born in Shimane Prefecture, near Hiroshima, and joined his parents in Hawaii when he was 14, in' 1916.

His father had a carpenter shop on Beretania Street between Maunakea and Smith streets and when his parents returned to Japan, he remained in the Islands. "I was 18 years old and my brother and mother and father all went to Japan. I had to work. I never went to school, only the fourth grade. You no can study when you work hard and in the summer there are long days and you have to work long hours.

"It is "I always must support myself." AND EVENTUALLY Iida had eight children to support also and "I like give education, because mine no more." He did. Henry, the first son, was graduated from Purdue University, earned his master's at Lehigh University and his doctorate at USC. He is president of the contracting firm. Charles, secretary-treasurer of the firm, was graduated from Arizona State University. Alvin earned his degree from Purdue and serves as executive vice president.

Hamilton attended Reedley and San Diego Junior Colleges and is assistant secretary-treasurer at T. Iida. The elder Iida has been married 51 years to Shizuyo Sugano of Kauai and "so far, no more Charle Crane, rector at the Church of the Holy Nativity, indulges in a bit of nostalgia in his bulletin this week, as he recalls the good bid days before digital watches, when the world seemed to run quite well oh a big pocket watch, or on the' hourly chimes of the clock in the church steeple. He goes even further back, writing: "From the days when the town crier walked through the streets with his lantern to assure us that it was 'two o'clock, and all's to the emergence of radio, with its far more accurate hourly time signal, time was corporate thing. The church clock was good enough for all of us, even though it' might have been IS minutes off.

We were in it together. If the boss said, 'There's only one correct time in this office and it's at the end of my watch fob," we accepted it knowing he might be off, but what difference did it make? We were in it together, and some kind of external sense of belonging made us interdependent, if not always punctual." Crane got his first job when he was only 14, as a printer's devil at the old press shop of the Maui Publishing Co. in Wailuku. His father was manager, which might have helped him land the job, and nobody checked up on child labor laws so he was able to work through that 14th sumjrner. HEP REMEMBERS THE old print shop long before the Occupational Safety and Health Act was adopted.

"Those were the good old days of exposed flywheels, open molten lead pots, and unguarded, razor sharp, power driven, paper ream cutters." The old print shop "was in a clapboard, tin-roofed building next to historic Kaahumanu Church, whose famous green-and-white steeple contained a clock that regularly struck the hour. As one waited for the long day to pass, the tolling of one, then two, then three helped to pass the afternoon until pau hana, which came when there were four bongs from the town spire." Crane says the contrast between of looking at time, then and now, tells us a lot about ourselves. "Now we all, individually, know exactly what time it is. If my watch is more than 10 seconds off the tone signal that begins the KHVH Mutual News on the hour, I have to set it. There is no arguing about whether the.

meeting starts early or late because we know exactly when it is 7:30." The corporate dimension of time "is longer established by a comfortable concensus, it is rather enforced from outside by super-accurate radio pulses or recorded telephone, messages." We can rely individually on our own timepiece to get us where we're going on the minute. "So with our faith. In a time regulated a community clock, we tended to worship together, if in separate congregations.

Talk Show Support The American Civil Liberties Union of Hawaii went on record this week in support of William E. Woods K-108 radio talk show which addresses the problems and needs of the gay community. The Christian Coalition had earlier submitted'a petition with 2,611 signatures which sought to quash the program, claiming it promotes immoral lifestyles. The Social Concerns Committee of the Hawaii Council of Churches also went on record this week in support of the show. K-108 offers the only talk show format in Hawaii.

The ACLU urged K-108 "to resist vigorously the coercive tactics of the Christian Coalition "The goal of private sur groups like the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition to gain control over what we all can see, hear and read is a frightening prospect and in a free society, a repugnant one," the ACLU said. tized ways.
