We had our Sayonara party in Kobe. Of all things - we went to a Chinese restaurant. By the time It was over, the time was getting late. I mentioned to my family that I was very tired, and they im mediately hustled me off to a doctor in the middle of the night. Both the doctor and I were aware that a host family is over-protective, so we talk ed in his office for a while. I told him that I needed rest, and that getting a physical examination was more of a daytime project, and that these right calls didn't help me get my sleep. He was a nice guy, so he accepted my diagnosis. We talked for a while longer, and he even took my pulse so that he could earn his fee. After we'd been in there long enough to please my family, we came out, and he told me to get some rest in Japanese. My family caught this, so they instantly took me home and put me to bed. Father threw a dinner for the Ashiya Experimenters and their families tonight. He rented a dining room in Osa ka's Grand hotel, and served us so many courses that I lost count.

Osaka s best night club. We watched the floor show, danced, and had a great time. Fabulous. Somehow or other, I man aged to pack. I sure hate to leave Ashiya and the Hironos, but we'll see each other on Christmas. This family has been wonderful to me - this is one of those things I can't put into words. We left our homes today, There's not too much to say: we were pretty sad. Our bus stopped at a youth hostel on a hill above Gifu. We re tak ing this same bus all the way to Tokyo. We went back to the bus this morning with sleep swol len eyes and big ambitions. I managed to read quite a lot during our ten-hour ride. We stopped in Nagoya to see a huge Edo Period castle, but we continued for hours after ward. We came to another youth hostel late at night on a hill above Hakone. We're nearer to Mt. Fuji.

We're present ly staying in STILL another youth hostel, older but better than the others. There's sup posed to be a city called Got- emba somewhere around, but II these hostels are five miles out into the sticks. We boarded the dus on this beautiful autumn morning. I know it should be getting near winter, but the weather is usually mild. We went through beautiful, many - col ored hills and mountains. The reds and golds of the leaves - the blue of the distant moun tains - the radiance of a dis tant city nestled in a valley by the sea - all these we could see through the bus windows as we sang, studied, and slept. We stopped to eat back near Hakone where we had stayed our second night. Our bus came to Ito s youth hostel late this afternoon. We'll stay here two nights, at last, a place to call home - two, whole nights. This was one of those days that nothing can go wrong. We took the bus to Shimoda for a small trip. The view of Fuji, the sea, and all the rest of the scenery made me feel quite at peace with the world. Even the dinner back at the youth hostel was pretty good. The bus took us through miles of beautiful countryside on our way to Tokyo. We ar rived at the Tokyo Kanko in the late afternoon. This hotel is fabulously modern with Japanese-style rooms. I imme diately called Keio university and inquired into the where abouts of "Chuck" McNair. Dad had sent me his address without any real explanation, so I was jumping to find out what he was doing here. We finally met at the hotel. As all college students, he's changing. He's on an eight month study tour around the world. I may have forgotten to mention that there are a few Japanese officials traveling with us. One in particular, Mr. Okuyama from Ashiya City office, has watched out for the Ashiya group ever since our arrival. Some of us were with Mr. Okuyama when he looked up a friend of his today. This friend and Mr. Okuyama went to high ! 1 MEDFORD.

The friend became a gang ster, but he reformed to be come one of the most-respect ed restaurant owners on Tok yo's Ginza (Great White Way). He is now an honest business- , man with great face in the restaurant world. This was the first gangster-turned-gen tleman that I'd ever met. Nice guy. In the evening, I finally got to see the movie West Side Story. Great. Today a bunch of us were on the streets of Tokyo when, unexplainably, we met a Jap anese student friend who was on the boat over with us. Out of ten million people in Tok yo, and we ran into him! In the evening, I stayed in the hotel and called a pen-pal of a Medford friend. We have a date soon. There was a movie being filmed in the lobby of the ho tel today, but we were too busy getting ready to go to the American Embassy. We met Ambassador Reischauer. Fab ulous. Note: Two of Ambassador E.

WORK SMARTER By BERNICE STRAWN Oregon Stat University Are you one of those young mothers who feel trapped in a world of little people, day in and day out? Many say life seems like one round of diaper washing, formula mixing, floor mop ping and bathtub scrubbing, plus a 24-hour shift of play ground duty.

You'll have only about 10 short years out of your married life with small chil dren at home during the day, compared to 30 or 40 years without them. Honestly now, can't you skip a few of those household chores once in a while during these few years? Must you be a perfectionist in everything? For a broader look at your family's future and to help you enjoy life as you go along, write up for your copy of Mrs. Frasier's Extension bulletin, "You and the Family Cycle."

Wrinkles in the upper part of the sleeve can be removed by folding a bath towel to fit inside the shoulder, then press with a steam iron over your wool press cloth.
