In Memoriam
But I say unto you, Love your enemies. . . do good to them that hate you. . . .
Matthew, 5:44
Before he sailed for the Philippines in 1945, Private Robert Johnstone, 18, knew that he might not come back. He was killed on Luzon. In the spirit which his parents believed was his, they set aside his $10,000 G.I. insurance policy for a scholarship at his college, Pennsylvania's Lafayette. Recipients were to be Orientals, Japanese if possible.
Last week this year's recipient was named: Robert Nishiyama, 22, of Tokyo, ex-pilot in the Kamikaze (suicide) corps. Said he: "I want to try my best to repay Mr. & Mrs. Johnstone for the loss of their son. I can do this only by giving my small bit toward establishing good will between our two countries."
