2 MAIL TRIBUNE. Medford, Oregon, Tuesday, Oerobar 21, 1938 Japanese Men Deserting Tea House For Golf Course By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor Tokyo-CFfc-The tea house is being deserted for the tee creating a new type of "golf widow" in Japan. She is the Geisha girl, the trained entertainer who in creasingly finds herself com peting with the golf course for the executive's attention and spending. The men head for the links to discuss business deals be cause it's cheaper. A Geisha party at a top-ranking tea house runs about $30 a head, and ' a successful party in volves five or six persons. This adds up to a pretty penny even on an expense account. Golf still is called the "rich man's game" here, but an ex ecutive who is a member of a club can figure on about 3000 yen less than $10 for each guest on the course. Membership in a club runs from $300 to $500 annually. Golfers Increasing . Hochi Shimbun, a sports and entertainment daily, esti mated there are 300,000 men golfers in Japan today, plus 10,000 women. The number of addicts for President Eisen hower's favorite sport is grow ing here at the rate of 50,000 per year. Even some Geishas are tak ing to the links, apparently figuring if you can't lure 'em, join 'era. In turn, the Geisha popula tion has dropped, although the decline is due more to economics than golf competi tion, said Kenji Goto, secre tary of the Domei Kai, head quarters of the Geisha Federa tion. Goto said that many a Geisha found that her earn ings an average of 60,000 to ?0,000 yen per month-barely covered cost of upkeep for kimonos and cosmetics. Japan now has some 10,000 Geishas, a 50 per cent drop from the pre-war total. How does a girl become a Geisha? She may be given over by parents who are poor and need money, she may have been born in a Geisha house; or a relative or friend is a Geisha and Influences her. Labor Laws Stricter . Before the war, Goto said, public soliciting was permit ted, and a girl could become , an apprentice "makio" after she had finished the com pulsory six years of school, or by the time she was turn ing a teen. Today, labor laws require the apprentice to be at least 19. And, said Goto, by this time, a girl finds the two or three years of ap prenticeship, and the dancing and music training which goes with it, just too difficult. Talking with Geisha ap prentices at a school in Kyoto, I found them ultra-modern, once they shed the traditional makeup, the wigs, and ki monos. Apprentice Kinya Geishas use only their first name said she decided on the pro fession because a girl friend was one. She is so Western ized she wears toreador pants off-duty and has very definite opinions about Elvis Presley ."too loud and too busy," she said. lAttorney Speaker For BPWC Republican Speaker Talks On Political Philosophy Central Point Rally Attracts Large Audience Washington Unit Opens PTA Year About 160 parents and teachers attended the first fall meeting of Washington Parent - Teacher association held October 17 at the school.

Mrs. McKee used clippings from her large collection to help identify the specimens as she told of their habits and requirements. . The horticulture subject was the bleeding heart, given by Mrs. R. T. Nichol. She de scribed the four native spe cies and told the Chinese leg end associated with this flow er. New club members wel comed were Mrs. Alice Hib- bert and Mrs. A. G. Motschen-bacher. Hostess committee for the afternoon was Mrs. Frank Janosky and Mrs. Edna Evans. Just Like a Woman New York-flTD-Bertha lied about her age and it killed her. Bertha was a whale who led officials at New York's aquarium to assume she was more than a year old because she ate fish. Whales less than Robert Boyer, Medford at torney, told Medford Busi ness and Professional Wom en's club members at their last meeting how they might secure the greatest service from their representatives to the state legislature and na tional congress. Mr. Boyer spoke at a meeting held Oct tober 16 at Girls Community club. -. People owe ' a " great duty to their legislators, once they have been elected, and regard less of party; and that duty is to keep themselves well informed on all .issues of ma jor importance, and to let their legislators know how they feel about these issues, they should not, however, har- rass their legislators with an avalanche of correspondence that has no meaning other than "quantity". Letters to legislators should be as short as possible, concise and to the point, and should be help ful through constructive criti cism and suggestions, the speaker added. In other words, when you write your congressman or senator, tell him why you may or may not agree with him." Mr. Boyer said. If you want him to vote for or against . a certain bill, give him a good reason for your wishes. "It is only when we accept our individual responsibility toward our legislators that we can expect them to func tion with efficiency in trying to satisfy the needs of the greatest number of people," he added. Mr. Boyer discussed the various phases of lobbying, and stated that both state and national legislators often seek out lobbyists in order to avail themselves of the great amount of information and data the lobbyists are able to furnish. Clubs Help " He added that a business and professional woman's club can be of real help to local government by offering the services of its varied profes sions to positions on the vari and committees. The club also, heard a re port on the district confer ence which was held at Lake- view September 20 and 21, Mrs. Harriett Watson, Med ford, is southern Oregon dis trict chairman. The major business of the conference was formulation of plans for the state convention to be held in Medford in May, 1959 About 400 women are expect ed to attend, and Miss .Laura York, past state president, has been named as general chairman. Attending the conference from Medford were Mrs. Wat son, Miss York, Mrs.. Jean Mast, Miss Voda Brower, Mrs, Muriel Preston, Mrs. Muriel Shortridge, Miss Grace Stuhr, Mrs. Nell Faulkner and Miss Peggy Moore. Thursday's meeting was in charge of the legislature com mittee. Mrs. Ivah Ann Rice Murray is chairman, with Mrs. Thelma Mclntyre, Miss Ann Rice and Mrs. Mabel Hundley as members. Mrs. Norma Burroughs, chairman of public affairs, took charge of the social hour, assisted by Mrs. Penny Harding and Mrs. Gertrude Blind. Basically there is but one difference between the pol itical philosophy of the Re publican and- Democratic par ties, according to Floyd Wynne, Klamath Falls, who spoke yesterday noon for a meeting of Jackson County Republican Women's club at Girls Community club. ' "Republicans believe the strength of the nation lies in the people and what they can do for themselves; Democrats believe ..that the strength of America lies in what govern ment will do for the people," Mr. Wynne declared. "We have faith in the people; we believe the people should turn to government only when a task is too big for the people. The Democratic philosophy is to let the state do everything. If you don't have faith in the people, then you don't belong in the Re publican party," he said. The speaker said that pres ent -day Republicanism is a year old spurn fish and should be on a milk diet. After Bertha died of gastri tis caused by the fish, an au topsy determined she was really still an infant.

Mr. Wynne reviewed the trend of international events during President Eisenhow er's term of office, and said the President had been forc ed into a "long retreat" but that in spite of this "I think we have stopped the tide of Communism." "Quemoy isn't just a bunch of small island off the shore of China," he said. "Quemoy is a "principle. They know these things as well as we do." The speaker added that Senator Morse would turn Formosa over to Red China and give them a seat in the United Nations as well." Ike Brought Order Mr." Wynne added "We can be proud of Republicanism Ike brought order out of chaos and we saved Korea. We haven't gone soft on Com munism. The Democrats would have the people be lieve that the Soviets are about to attack, any minute and that we should surrend er. If it eomes to a choice. would rather have us use bombs than surrender to Communism. Let's not swal low all this hog-wash put out by the Democrats." "Let's give Eisenhower the backing he needs.
