A festive week end is

than 1000 residents, dressed
in colorful kimonos, are
expected to participate in
the gala Bon odori to be
held Saturday and Sunday
evenings, starting at 7
o'clock, on the 10F base-

Revs. T. Shirakawa and

announces that odori prac-
tices will be held tonight
at 7G.and 11F, and requests

Sunday attend the practice
at either one of the locations .
The Bon festival was
originated some2,500 years
ago in India by Saint Mo-
kuren, a disciple of Buddha.
Mokuren, as the legend
goes, was sure that his
deceased mother was suffer-
ing in a purgatory, and he
went through extreme tor-
ment to save her. When this
was finally done, he was so
happy that he danced around,
unconsciously, for many
hours. Hence, the odori.
