In the previous "Reflection Meeting Part 1", we confirmed how to incorporate the latest information.

The theme problem this time has the word "1964".

In other words, we have also heard about the last Tokyo Olympics.

It may be quite difficult to find from HP.

Some publications have recently been compiled as special articles in various publications.

Is it one way to collect such things from time to time?

That's why.

I thought it would be nice to take the plunge here and hit the original script.

It is the past "news of the ward".

There is a change in the name depending on the times.

The topics at that time in Chuo-ku are well organized.

And yeah.

Above all, it can be viewed at the three municipal libraries.

It's surprisingly easy to see.

※Of course, it is an important material that has passed a certain number of years.

　Please handle it carefully and carefully!

That's right. At the reception of the library, the person in charge will take it out of the library and browse it.

It is "news compact edition of ward-Chuo-ku public information paper No.1 from April, 28 to March, Showa 40 (No. 1 to No. 144)".

It was not an open book. But I didn't wait much, and I was able to put it out right away.

From among them.

There was such an article in "Chuo-ku public information" of June 10, 1964 (1964) issue. .

"The Honorable 46 Youth Torch Relay Runner Kimaru

　It is almost four months before the long-awaited Olympics are held, but the runner in the main ward of the torch relay, which marks the beginning of this tournament, has recently been decided by the Torch Relay Chuo-ku Executive Committee.

　The courses in the main ward are as part of the fourth course (23.7 km between Ichikawa Bridge and Tokyo Metropolitan Government), and there are two sections between Kiyosu Bridge and Kayaba Bridge (1.5 km) and Kayaba Bridge and Kaji Bridge (2 km). , One regular runner, two side runners, and 20 runners, for a total of 23. "

One section was relatively long, but it was a style of running a large number of people in that section.

Therefore, it was "46 runners with a total of 3.5 km" that ran in Chuo-ku. That's enough.

(If you read this properly before the exam, "that problem" was solved ... Reflection.

・・By the way, what kind of course did you run?

It was also written in this continuation.

"The fourth course departs Chiba at 9:00 am on October 7, reaches Ichikawa Bridge at 11:00, and then passes through Edogawa, Katsushika, Adachi, Arakawa, Taito, Sumida, Koto, Koto, and Kiyosubashi. Will be handed over to the main ward.

　The first ward of the main ward will pass through Hamacho 3-chome from Kiyosubashi, turn left on Toden Street, and pass through Suitengu to the second ward at Kayabacho Intersection (Kayababashi).

　In addition, the second ward will pass from Kayabacho to Shin-ohashi-dori St. (Market Street), turn right at Hatchobori, and take over to Chiyoda-ku via Kyobashi and Kajibashi. "

I'm shy. In other words,...

Is it like this?

I tried drawing the line with the feeling that the red line was the first ward (1.5 km) and the blue line was the second ward (2 km).

Looking back on 1964, I felt like it would be a little walking course.

And who ran? I'm also worried about that.

"About the selection of this runner, a total of 21 people (including 8 girls) and 6 municipal junior high school graduates, 18 students from 9 municipal junior high schools, 3 students from 7 high schools in the city, a total of 46 people were recommended, and the executive committee decided on the main, deputy, and runner as follows.

　The sunny runners on this day are all young people who live in the city with excellent athletic ability, who are 1.65 meters tall, 1.65 to 70 meters high school, and 1.60 meters high school girls. "

(After this, the personal name was written, so I will omit it.)

I see. It was a selection from junior and senior high school students in the city.

In the form of children who are good at sports are selected in schools.

I will refrain from my personal name, but the youngest was 13 years old and the oldest was 18 years old.

Runners, it must have been a good memory.

It's completely free from here, but...

To the bottom of the page that describes this torch relay.

There was also an article saying, "Recently, a fake scale salesman has been rampant and annoying, but at stores that use scales, please be aware of the following points."

Apparently, "Please let me see the scale" and disassembled the scale of the shop.

It seems that the pattern of selling, "Would you like to buy it again because it's broken?"

It was warned that thorough identification of identification cards and that the determination of the quality of the scale was made by regular inspections in Tokyo in the first place.

I didn't know at all, but I guess it was enough to give such a notice.

Watch out for "imposter scam" just now! It's like that.

Somehow, I felt like I was looking into a page of Showa.

That's why the old "News of the Ward" is very rich in information.

It is a mirror that reflects the state of that era! That's right

It was a good thing that I learned again.

I want to find an opportunity and go to study little by little.
