LIL’ YOKOHAMA

IN LIL’ YOKOHAMA, AS THE YOUNGSTERS CALL OUR COMMUNITY, we have twenty-four hours every day . . . and morning, noon, and night roll on regularly just as in Boston, Cincinnati, Birmingham, Kansas City, Minneapolis, and Emeryville.

When the sun is out, the housewives sit on the porch or walk around the yard, puttering with this and that, and the old men who are in the house when it is cloudy or raining come out on the porch or sit in the shade and read the newspaper. The day is hot. All right, they like it. The day is cold. All right, all right. The people of Lil’ Yokohama are here. Here, here, they cry with their presence just as the youngsters when the teachers call the roll. And when the people among people are sometimes missing from Lil’ Yokohama’s roll, perhaps forever, it is another matter; but the news belongs here just as does the weather.
