Miss Wilson spent a considerable period in Japan as an advisor on rural housing. Miss Wilson termed Japan "the England of the orient" and said every effort was made to de mocratize Japan during the occu pation because Japan is the most influential country of Asia. The speaked said that Japan turned to militaristic expansion before World War II because of her "population pressure" and added that this same pressure would be the greatest Influence in what the country did in the next few years. "We hope the seeds of democ racy that were planted during the occupation grow before the power of the military can de velop again," she said. Miss Wilson described the. typi cal rural Japanese home, and said rural Japanese developed "a pretty good way of living con sidering how little they have." She pointed out that the people are as a rule healthy, in spite of a restricted diet, that the na tion- has may well organized health centers and also has a good child welfare program. She said the average Japanese farm is but two and one-half acres and that they are actually no more than, large gardens. Virtually all farms in Japan are electrified, she said, but the pow er supply is limited and the use of electricity is not encour aged. Great stress was laid on re habilitation of Japanese farms and lands after the war, Miss Wilson said, because it was thought many farmers were on the verge of adopting commu nism. She said the occupation authorities quickly put Into ef fect a program of supplying the farmers with adequate fertilizer, land reforms were inaugurated and tenant farmers were given a chance to buy the land they cultivated. She said that an elaborate system of farm ad visors was re-organized, and that a woman s program was quickly organized. Wheat was introduced into the diet, she said, and an attempt is being made to introduce practi cal and functional work clothing to replace the traditional kimona which she described as "beauti ful but not functional." Japanese women are excellent seam stresses, according to Miss Wil son, but have no paper patterns as do American women. There are no ready-to-wear garments on sale, with the exception of some types of footwear, Miss Wil son said. She described changes intro duced into the Japanese rural homes, speaking of the new as bestos chimneys, which replaced smoke holes in the ceiling, introduction of clear glass for windows, concrete floors for kitchens and painting or white washing of walls. Miss Wilson declared that Em peror Hirohito had been useful in the introduction of western furniture, since he had long used western ' type beds, tables and chairs. Homes are being re-de signed, she said, and Japanese encouraged not to keep the farm animals under the same roof with the family living quarters, Another speaker for the after noon session of the festival was Miss Truida Duyvendak of The Hague, Netherlands. Miss Duy vendak, one of a group of women visiting in this country to ob serve home extension and Amer ican home life, praised people of this nation for their friendliness and kind-hearted ways. She stressed that the people of all nations "have the same needs and same ideals" and de clared that all the women of the world, getting together such as the meeting at Central Point, could work as a "little United Nations." Miss Duyvendak said people of all nations "must believe in youth, for youth is broadminded and will widen our horizons. The two women were intro duced by Mrs. Arthur Straus. J'vllle Happy Hemmert The Jacksonville Happy Hem mcrs met at the home of Mrs. Ramsay fbr a short business session and work on projects. Most of the members have com pleted their first projects. Shir ley Dunlap was absent. Nancy Lou Redhead, Reporter.
