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.

Just Like a Woman

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.

based on the philosophy of
the Jeffersonian Democrats of
arly days who believed that
the "least "government is the
best government."
"Our system of free enter
prise will be over. when the
Great White Father has to
do everything for us." the
speaker declared.
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. I would
willingly go to the brink of
war 160 times if it prevents
one war. Let's not be so tim
id we'll give away what we
have without a fight
Mr. Wynne, who is city ed
itor of the Klamath Falls
Herald and News, said he be
lieved the recession "had been
good for us we were going
too high too fast." He added
we're on the road up again
without any. public works pro
grams or heavy government
al spending
In the opening of his talk
Mr. Wynne declared that Re
publicans have been over
come by lethargy in recent
years, adding that they work
ed hard in 1952 and then had
been resting ever since. "Re
publicans weren't beaten by
the Democrats," he declared,
"We defeated ourselves." He
spoke of the internal troubles
of the party, mentioning Taft
Republicans, the split in the
party over the late Senator
McCarthy and the current pro
and con feeling over Vice-
President Richard Nixon,
In closing the speaker said
"President Eisenhower has
been doing a tremendous job
under an enormous handicap
