relics here that dated back to
per - historic Japan, but we
didn't go on any factory tours
or anything, because Ashiya
is non-industrial. 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. It wa3 fabulous

I all the younger people to
Club Arrow. 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.

traveled through a rainy suc
cession of golf courses and
lush estates to reach the
mountains of the Fuji Five
Lakes district. 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

WORK SMARTER
By BERNICE STRAWN

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.
Mrs. Roberta Frasicr, OSU
family life specialist advises
you to "take heart." Young
sters don't stay little very
long. 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."
Praises from your husband
will be forthcoming if you
practice these ideas for press
ing his wool suit. First, make
a wool press cloth by sewing
a piece of wool fabric about
IS inches by 20 inches to a
piece of muslin a mite larger.

The event was held at the

time, then built and operated

station on highway 99. They
moved from here in the latter
1930's.

pressing wool garments.
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.
A fold of paper under the
pocket flap will keep the flap
from leaving a mark on the

To remove a slight shine,

Can the cutting knife be
cleaned easily? Look for safe
ty features. Some openers are
combined with other tools
such as a knife sharpener,
