Rural Home Specialist
Festival Main Speaker
People of Japan had only a taste of democracy during the oc
cupation years, and may revert to militarism according to Miss
Maude Wilson, Oregon State college extension service specialist
who spoke for the annual Homemakers' festival yesterday in Cen
tral Point. 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.
