 This summer, many parts of the country suffered much damage due to the
heavy rains and typhoons that frequently hit Japan. Though we were better
off in the Tokyo area, we still experienced a long record-breaking heat
wave. In the meantime, the activities of Meguro UNESCO went on as usual.
Members who kindly gave up their holidays got together for editorial meetings
to discuss the g50th Anniversary Issueh and the gChildrenfs Poemsh.
Then, afterthe long summer vacation, came the first editorial meeting.
With little to talk about the Sept. issue, most of our time was devoted
to the re-examination of our editorial policy. . The unattractive Short
News the words mentioned earlier in a past meeting still weigh heavily
on us editors minds. . How can we organize the large amount of information
about our activities into such limited space? Fascinating readers is not
so easy for an amateur-edited newsletter. We might be able to convey the
UNESCO spirit, to give accurate reports on various activities, to provide
new information, and to offer amembersf communication forum - as we have
always done. Yet, some new possibilities have also been discussed. Now,
we have a great deal of activity programs ahead of us in the autumn months.
We need to keep our feet on the ground. (Y. Shimizu)
