nternational Friendship Project
Carried On by Students, Teachers
In 1B61 a Medford couple
traveled in Japan and dis
covered that many Japanese
are basing their opinions and
knowledge of the United
States on second-rate movies
and television Westerns. 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

saw advertised for Japanese
theaters were not of tho best
quality, and Mr. Fukuda told
her that many American tele
vision films were Westerns
imported from the United
States. 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. .
Not long ago McLoughlin
received a number of student
paintings; these were made

hall at the Medford school.
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. The following
letter, copied exactly as writ
ten, was received from Shingo
Yasuda. She wrote:
