(International) Camp White Manager Finds Japanese Folk Friendly, Cooperative Camp White The Japanese people seem to welcome the military occupation and show a friendly and cooperative spirit in their dealings with Ameri cans, E. K. Ricker, domiciliary manager at Camp White, de clared following his return from a month long visit in that coun try. He spent most of his time at Yokohama, where his son, Cot. J. K. Ricker, and family, are stationed with the Army. Impressed With Contrast Mr. and Mrs. Ricker vere im pressed with the contrast shown in the adherence to many of their native customs and the prevalence of manners and in stitutions which have been in troduced in modern times. "There is no sign of animosity, either among the business peo ple or the inhabitants general ly," he said. "It may be of in terest to know that my son and I attended a Rotary meeting there, at which a delicious meal, including the best pastries I have ever eaten, were served. It cost 90 cents and was better than a 51.50 meal here. Of course, a special price was made to the club members," Ricker added. Asked if the Japanese cat with chop sticks, he said that they do, and he noted that the Japanese make considerable noise in eating their food, as a mark of good breeding to show the host that they are enjoying it. "It was told that I should have indicated how much I en joyed the soup in this way," he said. Bargains in Shops "We found the shops filled with wonderful bargains, and Mrs. Ricker was busy most of the time shopping. Wonderful Chinaware and mink coats were available at the stores at reason able prices. There were many strange ways that seemed quite difficult to understand, but the Japanese have a reason for all of their habits of behavior, which they retain in spite of the in fluence of culture from overseas." The Rickers took numerous pictures while in Japan and as soon as the collection has been assembled, they will be shown to the members by means of slides.
