description: After admiring our delectable cover photo, you will agree why we should jump the gun with this item about the approaching Chinese New Year which will fall on Jan. 25, 1963. It'll be year 4661—the Year of the Rabbit—according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. For many Overseas Chinese communities such as Honolulu, San Francisco and New York, all out celebrations are planned, complete with parades, firecrackers and choosing of a new Miss Chinatown, USA, to succeed reigning queen Darrah Lau of Honolulu who strikes this pleasing pose from a vantage point at the Four Seas restaurant (四海酒家) in SF for our cover photo.
