Apparently the technique of making every square inch count developed from necessity- this island country with an area no larger than Cali fornia has a population of 90 million. But some of the household space-savers might well be adapted in those small homes builders are putting up in the United States. No Japanese house is stuffed with furniture, so even a tiny house has the spacious look. Cushions on the floor take the place of chairs and sofa, and are stowed when not in use. Even the pillowed-back sup port which some homemakers use with the cushions fold and tuck away. Beds just aren't. The Japa nese sleep on "futon," or pad ding, which at night is spread on the ''Tatami," or woven straw floor covering. In the daytime, the futon goes into the closet. Sliding doors help the home maker make the most of space; open, an area becomes one huge room, but with the doors closed, it becomes two or three rooms. To save space there are nar row gauge railways all over Japan. And a Japanese woman can open a square cotton or silk scarf, called "feroshuki," and tie in it, hobo fashion, more than most of us can get in a suitcase. Even the trees are dwarfed; these are "bonsai," which through root pruning and branch shaping from the seed ling stage grow no more than potted plant size. And the Jap anese home with no space for a garden outside creates one inside in miniature. "Bonkei" are tray land scapes, with the homemaker simulating the natural scen ery through arrangement of stones, sand, artificial trees and flowers in a shallow por celain dish or tray. Chapter to Hold Business Meeting A business meeting will be held by Bow Bells chapter, Daughters of the British Em pire Monday, October 27, at 8 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Everett Sybrant, 520 South Peach street. The Japanese love a game called "pachinko," a gadget about one-third the size of our pinball machine. To save even more space, the machine stands vertically, like a chew ing gum or stamp dispenser. Office Managers To Meet Monday Don McNeil, manager of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, will speak on "Future in Store," at the Monday, October 27, meeting of the Medford chapter of Na tion Office Managers. The event will be held at the Medford hotel with a so cial hour at 7 p.m. followed by dinner at 7:30 p.m. All office managers are in vited to attend. Reservations may be made by calling Hugh Friel of the Bruce Bauer Lumber company, SPrlnf 2-6211.
