Of cburse, I knew as well as
did the white-haired; woman . in
the gift shop tht the demi-tasse
porcelains had not been Imported
since December 7, 1941, but I
couldn't bring myself to think
that eyenr to a collector, a cup
marked "Made in Japan" would
be such a hot present inv1944.-;
But stories' told since 1939 ..to
the contrary, there' is still one inn
port from Japan that finds a ready
market "There wont be any
more of 'em they're -using: wood
now, one "fisherman told, me as
far back as 39." - ; T- f
Y. However,' with my .own eyes I
saw one of the glass floats from
a Jap fishnet on an Oregon beach
last Saturday. Sttill encased in a
"snood if strong hemp, it could not
have been afloat or buried in the
sand since 1939. Y J C;
Up and down the j coast, the
Japanese teasels are gone from
the little restaurants. The cotton
floor coverings we used to call
"Jap matting' are just "rag. rugs"
now, but the great bowls of "Jap
fish flpats", stilt' stand and- hang
in windows of the curio shops,
beer joints, above crab pots, in
summer homes wherever the
Oregon sunlight can strike them
and emphasize their blue-green
sheen. I ' i
The float I saw Saturday was
amber! and as lovely as the old
pre-war glass yep, the Japs will
still hive ; one market here when
the wlur is over, But half the
reason! the glass "balls are sought
and cherished by summer folk
and coast country dwellers alike
is the! fact that they were lost
from a Japanese net Oh, sure,
tourists will pay fancy prices for
them, (but not to the slant-eyed
fishermen!
Money $tky Make
Dreams Come True,
Says
Dr. Marcotte
The! 20th century businessman
is usually thought of as a mater
ialist fcnd too often thinks that
of himself, Dr. Henry Marcotte,
pastor j of : the First Presbyterian
church, told members of the Salem
Rotary club. In reality he is-e poet
since he makes money which has
the power to make his dreams
come true, the speaker said,
Money is the consentrated ess
ence of all the best since it. has
the power to reach around the
world and carry good to those
who deserve it The 20th century
businessman' is approaching God
when ?ie uses the money he makes
to bring dreams true. Dr. Marcotte
said in concluding his talk.
Ronald : Craven sang two songs,
accompanied at the piano by Ruth
