Con cerned over this, they decid ed "to do something." The travelers were Mrs. Lois Martin, librarian at Mc Loughlin Junior High school, and her husband, Roy. The Martins enjoyed their stay in Japan every much, were fav orably impressed with the kind and friendly treatment they received (even in Hiro shima) and returned to the Rogue valley determined to come up with an idea to counteract what they believe to be an unfavorable impres sion being made by the Amer ican movies and television shows exported to Japan. , Meet Teacher During their travels In Japan the Martins had met an English teacher and some of his students. It is the cus tom for Japanese school chil dren to travel as classes, sup ervised by teachers. While visiting at. Todaiji shrine at Nara, Mrs. Martin and Kouki Fukuda began a conversation while Mr. Martin was busy taking pictures of the shrine. Mrs. Martin mentioned that the films she and her husband For Your EASTER SEWING! SEWING MACHINES FOR RENT 00 Per Week $1 New Frost Top , g Dots, 45" Wide yd.

He mentioned that such serials as "Wagon Train" are very popular, and that some Japanese fail to compre hend that these stories are fictionized versions of what took place in the United States many years ago. The travelers were asked ques tions about Indians and cow boys of their home city. When the Martins returned home, they mailed colored pictures of southern Oregon scenery to the teacher they had met, and during the win ter of 1961-62 Mrs. Martin told McLoughlinstudents and teachers about her visit to Japan. With their help she began and has carried out what is developing in a most interesting international friendship project. Writ Letters Members of the Library club at the school wrote let ters to students of the Arao Daigo Chugaku, where Mr. Fukuda teaches, and which is comparable to McLoughlin school here. It has about 1,000 students. Arao is in the southernmost part of the island across from Nagasaki. In addition to letters, the Library club members col lected money in their home rooms during National Book week and bought books to be sent to Arao school. One of these was about the American Abraham Lincoln. Promptly Mrs. Martin and the school received, by air mail, pictures and letters from the Japanese . students and teachers, and the exchange, has continued. Pen pals are now exchanging letters and personal gifts, McLoughlin Junior High school now has copies of Japanese text books and classic story books, col ored post cards, and several long panels of rice paper cov ered with large Japanese char acters. Mrs. Martin believes that these may be classroom lesson material Pictures of the English club at Arao school show the Japa nese students wearing uni- forms. Another McLoughlin teach er interested in the project is Kenneth Osthimer, English in structor, and pupils in his classes are amopg those cor responding with the Japanese. He also took class pictures to be sent to Japan. : The Japanese students also sent pictures of their classes, and pictures showing stu dents and teachers with the books which had been gifls from the Medford students. McLoughlin has sent a copy of their school annual, and has received a similar publi cation from Japan. Have English Club The Japanese students write that they have an English club, and that their sports in clude judo, volleyball, base ball and tennis. .

Mrs. Martin, who believes that this type of exchange is valuable in bringing about in ternational understanding, re ported that both teachers and pupils at McLoughlin school are impressed with the excel lent command of English which the Japanese show in their letters.
