        SKETCHES
   The popular line, "He's
the little man who wasn't
there," may beappropriate-
ly applied to Sam I. Mori-
shita,  quiet   efficient
operator of  the movie
____ for the recreation
department.
   Although some 2000 movie-
goers attend the weekly
movies, few persons notice
this small, silent techni-
cian who brings them
entertainment.
   He arrived in America
in 1903 as a teen-aged stu-
dent, subsequently working
his way through school in
San Francisco.
   He remembers the time
he nearly lost his life in
the disastrous earthquake
and fire of 1906.   His
apartment was destroyed,
so he was forced to "reside"
temporarily in Golden Gate
park.
   He has traveled exten-
sively in the United States
as a watchmaker, store
clerk, radio repairman,
photographer, and farmer.
   Former residents of cen-
tral and northern Califor-
nia may recall the motion
picture outfits that toured
the state showing Japanese
films.  It was Morishita
who serviced and maintained
the equipment in his
shop in Oakland.   He has
studied radio and motion
picture machines since
1922.   After opening his
shop in 1935, he continued
to keep abreast with the
latest developments in
those  fields.
   Radio was his vocation,
and he made the operation
of movie projectors his
hobby.   While in Oakland,
he showed movies to the
YWCA and YMCA in his leisure
time.
   The projector which he
operates  nightly belongs
to Sam.   The few dollars
he receives for the use of
his machine barely cover
the expense of maintaining
the new RCA movie projector
which he purchased prior
to evacuation.
   The next, time he visits
your block to show movies,
notice the clock-like pre-
cision  with which he per-
forms his work.
